subscribe to bands (or labels) that you like on apps like bandcamp or bandsintown
or on instagram/facebook etc, which I actually don't but it might help
also, subscribe to the newsletters of local venues
perhaps there's some folks on your uni/school that organise concerts?

I really want to go but can’t make it. I’m seeing Bush Tetras on Friday.

i'd like to see the bush tetras but
i just don't wanna go
out in the streets
anymore

Can't blame ya. Too many creeps!

Have talked my parents into paying for a Mogwai ticket for my birthday next year (the show is on the 19th of February, my birthday is the 27th)

That's a shame, but enjoy Bush Tetras.


I found out yesterday that Mark Morgan formerly of Sightings has a new band called Rump State (with Gaute Granli, whose album from 2 or 3 years ago I liked a lot) and they played in London last week. I'm vexed that I missed it!

Jenn and I have the busiest slate of shows in like 10 years, everyone had to play DC/Baltimore all at once

Mary Timony tour opener at Ottobar
Sleater-Kinney at Anthem
Unwound at 930 Club

Slowdive in January in Zürich

They were sensational here in July; not sure how the new songs come out live (they only played the lead single here and it went over my head) but even if you leave those ones aside it's a cracking show.

William Basinski next week

Care for an appetizer?

William Basinski - 2023-11-22 - The Sugar Club, Dublin, Ireland [Master]

scored a free ticket for the Breeders on Monday night

Slowdive tonight, woop woop!

I have 3 shows lined up (Mary Timony, Sleater-Kinney and Unwound) starting Feb 28, then Kim schedules a show at the Black Cat the day before the Unwound show at the 9:30 Club (a late 10pm door as well) that bummed me out as probably will have to pass on it as it's very pricy and time consuming since it's quite a drive to and from DC (also Unwound is a cannot miss)

but now Kim is announced to be part of the Out and About Festival at Wolf Trap in June, 3rd billing behind Jenny Lewis and Brittney Howard, honestly this might be more feasible

being broke and living far from DC make all the shows such a choice

Try being broke and living 8036 kilometers (4993 miles) from DC.

NOICE.

Where's this happening? I can't seem to find any information on the internet. Last time I saw them was at Limehouse Town Hall a few years ago.

Ignore. Found out it's at Cafe Oto.
