that was not a grouchy comment. I do enjoy when those bands come around to the excitement of certain people here. its fun to read. grouchy. I enjoy that word, as well.

Been listening to Luna virtually all week. Between that and Ride, those were my favorite shows of the year. I know Wire will be in the list, as will Fleetwood Mac. After that, it's going to be tough to narrow down 10 shows. So much great live music this year.

A+
Strip away all of its meaning and context and 'grouchy' would be a fun way to refer to your lap.
Anyone else make it out to Dungen? They sounded good and some guy proposed to his fiance on stage (she said yes haha). It sucks they had a dance party scheduled for later that night. Dungen had to cut their set short and only played like an hour.
was really looking forward to the postcoital banter from the BlowTel's Air Sex Championship

Fun time at Eternal Summers/S/Lucy Dacus last night despite Wildhoney dropping off last minute. Really weird turnout: both Eternal Summers and Wildhoney hit Richmond this summer at another venue and drew ~150 each; combine the two onto one bill and only get ~30. Probably tried coming back too soon.
Good show all around. Lucy Dacus is a Richmond act very similar to Waxahatchee. S I wasn't familiar with going into but was a very pleasant surprise, played several different styles and was all around great. I turned up buying their LP. (HOBO SHOWS ALERT FOR HUTCH: Feel bad for the band, they apparently are dead broke, was openly begging from stage for anyone to drive them to Charlotte so they could make their next show.) Eternal Summers remains fantastic and I don't understand why they aren't bigger.

Eternal Summers should be much bigger. They played Comet a few months ago and also to a very small crowd. No clue as to Sunday's turnout seeing as I wasn't there. Strange that Wildhoney dropped off given that Killsaly and I caught them the night before in Baltimore.

Alan was probably exhausted. He played 14 sets at CMJ between Wildhoney and Expert Alterations.

they are definitely not friends…. unless something has changed since the writing of Dean's book….
Nice work Kubacheck!

Ouch
Attendance must not be very good on this tour.
They have a point. Just looked at the Richmond event page from Monday. 210 "attendings" and 34 "maybes". There was literally maybe 30-40 people watching the show and that includes members of the other bands as there is no backstage at Strange Matter. I just chalked it up to market saturation since the two headliners had been in town so recently + a Monday + the first unseasonably cold night of the year. Sorry to hear the rest of the tour is shaping up the same way.
Wah
Reminds me of the Lorelei documentary.
If I were a female singer-songwriter and I went to see Ashley Monroe play, I'd probably go home, cry, put down my pen, and hang up my guitar forever.
Also, while the 9:30 is the best nightclub for shows in the DMV, Sixth and I is definitely my favorite music venue in the DMV.
