This week rollcall

Bodycop slayed. Sucks they broke up! I really liked that opening band Sacrum too.

Isn't Ian Matthews supposed to play Velvet sometime in the future? Maybe that can make up for me missing Bobb Trimble.
Guided By Voices in Brooklyn (McCarren Park) this past Saturday.  Awesome.
beirut/sharon van etten/yellow ostrich @ mccarren park - past fri

apart from double rainbows which seemed to be the talk at the beginning - all the bands were awesome. had no clue sharon van etten had such a strong voice and aaron desner performing the last 3 songs with her was a total bonus.

beirut also played a great set - despite what some posted on BV.

As of right now, yes.  However, I don't think the Velvet is the right place for Matthews.  It was when I was running it, but not anymore.  The owner is more concerned with pumping loud DJ bullshit than giving respect to a quiet songwriting legend.  I looked into moving it to Iota or Jammin' Java but neither was available, so I might end up moving it to a house show somewhere.  Stay tuned…
The DJ noise has gotten way out of hand. I was concerned about it interfering with Bobb Trimble but his band was loud enough to overcome it.
Today's Groupon is for duffy's
wings  ;D
I just randomly looked up Fucked Up's website to see if they'll be touring any time soon and was absolutely delighted to discover they're playing the RnR Hotel next Monday.
Just bought my ticket for it.

Awesome see you there
See you there as well, though maybe not since I don't know you, though I think you bought an extra Neko Case ticket from me like 4 or so years ago.
Did anybody else opt for the free Pietasters show in Springfield last night over the not free U2 show in Baltimore?
Dino Jr. Saturday
Antlers/White Laces/Layne Garrett/Marian McLaughlin at Moca DC Gallery Sunday
Dinosaur Jr. w/OFF! (can't wait for this)
Fort Reno Monday!  Beasts of No Nation, Railsplitter, Valley Tours. 
Ummmm…is everyone else still recovering from having their face melted off at Dinosaur Jr./OFF!? Good God, that was an unbelievable show. Both bands tore the place up. By far my favorite Dinosaur Jr. show.
maybe farmfest this weekend
That Dinosaur Jr. set was phenomenal.


Dino Jr indeed was incredible. I loved the lighting too. OFF! killed it too. Great show. The encore was hilarious.
