So when will that Fugazi reunion 30th anniversary show be announced?
Oh God please no! Haven't Fugazi, Mackaye and the rest of their ilk done enough to suck every ounce of fun and relevance from the DC music scene?
Really that whole straight edge/dischord scene is the worse thing to happen to this town (musicwise).

Ooooookay…
Would a one off show really bother you that much?

A few things about the article:
1) great to see Thatguy and learn about how he appeared on the scene
2) Why does Ian MacKaye appear in every one of these type of things? Dischord shows were only a small, small part of the 930 Club's history.
3) I can't believe the entire WUST Hall was purchased for $700,000… that'll barely get you even a rowhouse in DC these days.

Hutch, I think you would appreciate this interview with Bruce Hellington (formerly Merkle) of 9353…

You know I was tempted to say no but the truth is if it was at the 930 as part of the 30th anniversary festivities YES.
Mackaye and his peeps can have a monopoly on the special events and tributes and reunions at the Black Cat - which they all but do- but the 930 too? Come on!.
DC has to be about more than these guys and if its not lets leave the night open and see what happens…We won't have any less fun than at a Fugazi show..thats for sure.
The 30th anniversary should be a big celebration and I'm sorry to say Fugazi does not fit the bill.
OK so here is what we know so far.
According to this, the anniversary is, in fact on 5/31. And according to JA, The Fleshtones are playing as part of the anniversary show (most likely with other bands). Shit's starting to come together!

Cool, the Fleshtones are about as opposite of Fugazi as you can get. (Unless the Meatmen are reincarnated)
The Slickee Boys torn up the joint at the 25th anniversary show…

Ian MacKaye produced some of Tesco Vee's recordings.

that would be a good show for the 30th anniversary of the Lansburgh Center…
Patti Smith would be a good concert for a 30th anniversary show…if not, would you bring her anyways Seth? ;D
Tommy Keene?
who wrote the editorial comments in the post article? Freedom du CRAP?!
the diss of the Bayou is totally unecessary.. I'd hardly call U2, Phish -among many others- "the spawn of REO Speedwagon.."!
I remember the column at the old 930 -among other things-very well..

U2 are also pretty unnecessary but you don't ever see me bitching about them.

I enjoyed the article. :)
I wish I could have seen a show at the original 9:30 Club.
