That sounds like a pretty great show, actually, venue nonwithstanding.

Wolf Trap - Filene Center - June 24
Regeneration Tour
Wang Chung
ABC
Heaven 17
Cutting Crew
Berlin

If it were ABC and Heaven 17 at the club, I'd say hell yes but  not to the rest of that lineup

The recently released ABC record of new material, which is just Martin Fry at this point, is actually quite good. And I'd jump at the chance to see Heaven 17 as they are one of my all times favs

Not a concert announcement, but perhaps something better…

According to their ad in the City Paper, Iota is now non-smoking.

;D

Just getting a jump on the inevitable I guess.

March 29: Bong on a Can Marathon, Glenn Kotche of Wilco and Terry Riley at the Clarice Smith Center, University of Maryland, College Park, MD. This extended All-Stars performance will feature their landmark arrangements of Brian Eno?s ambient classic Music for Airports, a set with Kotche, and their brand new live collaboration with American master Terry Riley.

There is a John Prine fan presale ongoing for this show… Will Call only - PM me for link

It is $35 but students only pay $7. Too bad I'm not too inclined to go…

Started reading this and got stuck on the first few words and thought, "what the hell?". First I thought it was just a Marathon race but it still didn't quite make sense. Then I thought that it must just be a different kind of marathon. In this case, I visualized a lot of peope sitting around trying to out smoke each other with bongs made from cans. Of course, the appropriate date for that should be April 20th. Finally, as I read on, I realized that it was only a typo. Talk about a pipe dream!

Most of the events are free. Only the evening concert with Riley and Kotche is ticketed. MFA will be performed in the Grand Foyer.

Some innertube sites mention Matmos as guests but that's unconfirmed (they do live in Baltimore nowadays, however).

Yeah, I don't know what to make of the Matmos listing.

Here's an exciting one:

Fri 07/17/09  Dionne Warwick  Artscape 

I didn't see this posted yet:

6/12 Melissa Ferrick @ 9:30

It's for DC Pride and I don't know the full lineup/who's headlining.

She was pretty good when she opened for Ani Difranco notwithstanding that awful Bush cover. I thought the world agreed to forget that band ever existed? Seeing her along with a group of feisty lesbians could be…interesting. Then again, I kind of did just see her along with a group of feisty lesbians. :)

Haha, my group spent the between-set times playing a lively game of "spot the heterosexual couples." We counted 13.

Sorry, back on topic.

Program posted (pdf). No mention of Matmos. MFA in the Grand Pavilion, not foyer as I had previously posted. Lotsa works in the percussion program by some of my former library co-workers (Bay Players).

Hmm no mention of Matmos.
