The Run Down – March 14, 2009

Published on March 14, 2009 in The Run Down. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

Tonight in Baltimore the Talking Head is the place to be because the great Thrushes are playing their hometown with Let’s Wrestle and Baby Aspirin opening.  Down in DC you can catch the hype with N.A.S.A., Lil’ El, Jackie O, Nacey, and Steve Starks at the Rock and Roll Hotel or you can catch the rock at the Black Cat with Travis Morrison Hellfighters and Poor But Sexy.  Also in DC are Telltale and Contramano at the Velvet Lounge.  Up north in Philadelphia don’t miss out on a good one at the M Room with The Rosewood Thieves, The Swimmers, and Swivel Chairs.  It would be hard to forget also that Modest Mouse is in the Philly are at the Electric Factory.  Enjoy!

The Run Down – February 8, 2009

Tonight in DC don’t miss Cat Power at the 9:30 Club…seriously…you don’t want to miss it.  Dex Romweber opens.  If you had to miss it hopefully it’s because you’re over at the Black Cat watching the Submarines and The Morning Benders perform or maybe you’re over in College Park, MD at the Third Rail Radio catching a performance from Baltimore’s Thrushes and Ceremony.  Up north in Philly there are two solid shows.  The first is The Explorers Club at the Khyber.  They have that amazing nostalgic sound that not many can duplicate.  In Grenada plays before them.  Kungfu Necktie has the second show and it’s a winner.  If I was in town I’d be basking in this show featuring The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Brown Recluse Sings, and Depreciation Guild.  Enjoy!
