I saw them last summer at the Black Cat. They're good, but it's not the guitar-driven Mould of the past. 90% instrumental. I'm tempted to call it dance music - very beat and groove-oriented, but it had a bit of an edge to it. I thought it was really interesting, but don't expect anything similar to the typical pop/rock song structure.

I've been waiting to see Starbelly. Like Myracle Brah they're a Balt-area pop act with an excellent new CD out on NotLame. Check out the ample samples on Starbelly.com.

i'd like to see Starbelly as well, but they are a hard band to pin down… seeing as the bass and guitar players have several side projects. it's basically a group of solo musicians who come together to do a record under the name Starbelly. there is a new record in the works which hopefully means that more gigs other than a bi-monthly annapolis gig are in the future. they have also added a keyboard/second guitar player to the lineup which will give themselves a bit more depth soundwise.

of course i'm not sure i want to share Starbelly with certain forum members who like "pretty" bass players :D bad enough i almost lost kosmette…

Before this gets out of hand, I was kidding on both accounts.

What about the Wrens?

They need to come back to DC, and they seem very 'zine friendly.

Yeah, the Wrens – a friend of mine is a real low level promoter, and they were totally going to do her gig in Lowell, MA, but they can't make it date-wise. And they're just up in NJ – probably depends on when the bigyawn party is….

The Wrens also seem a little too 'big' for DC9. But maybe I'm wrong.

Last time they played here it was backstage at the Black Cat.

How "big" is DC9?

I agree with ggw; DC9 seems bigger than the backstage, but I could be wrong. (It's probably just nicer…) Plus, we have no idea how either place pays bands…
