also in cae you arent sure about the bands...

DNA TEST FEST is April 24-25th at The Velvet Lounge in Washington DC.
It is 18+, not 21+ like some of the rumors have said.
Tickets are 10 Dollars for 1 Day, 15$ for both (15 bands, 15 dollars,
you can't beat that, most of you all are privileged college kids, you
can put off your weekly shopping at the ironic thrift store and buying
stupid cds at insound.com for one week)
THERE IS NO GUEST LIST DONT ASK, I CANT GET YOU IN FOR FREE, I DONT
CARE IF YOU ARE MY BFF OR IF YOU KNOW GREG GINN OR VARG YOU WILL NOT
GET IN FOR FREE!

Both days START AT 7:30 SHARP...come early. No one cares if you're
"that guy" cause you probably already are.

Velvet Lounge info:

915 U Street NW, Washington, DC
202.462.3213

Metro: Take the Green Line to the U Street stop. Choose the Vermont
Ave. side and not the 13th street side. Velvet Lounge is on U Street
between Vermont and 9th St.

We are doing sellers tables sell anything you want, your old hatebreed
CDS, your old youth of today 7" 's, blood brothers side design tshirts
(yeah we know you owned one), fake wolf eyes tapes, the metal VOID
bootleg that never came out, boots and braces etc etc. whatever you
want just get in touch let me know, you keep the profit just let me
know your coming.

FAN DEATH RECORDS will have a sellers table there as well. Get some
rad records (FNU Ronnies, Clockcleaner, Fathers day etc) that will fit
nicely between your glasvegas crap record, mastadon "hey im cool i
like crazy metal" LP, and the new animal collective techo rap record
you just got off ebay.

DAY 1 APRIL 24TH
True Womanhood (No-gaze DNA alumni now a 3-peice doing all flipper
covers http://www.myspace.com/truewomanhood)

Screen Vinyl Image (DC finest goth meets later Jesus and Mary Chain?
New LP is awesome, members of SKYWAVE
http://www.myspace.com/screenvinylimage)

Rosemary Krust (Easily put out one of the best 7"'s last year. Bedroom
noise that is sick and pretty http://www.myspace.com/rosemarykrust)

Lampshades (Last year I described them as superdrag meets the
shivvers, I stand by that still. Power pop that doesn't sound like
some one getting kicked in the crotch
http://www.myspace.com/thelampshades)

Pygmy Shrews (Newish band w/ Jeremy of Drunkdriver. Total shit
heavy-ness weird sing-y vocals, dudes will get into this.
http://www.myspace.com/pygmyshrews)

Pfisters ( Members of The New Flesh and Trash Camp. Take all your
bloodstains LPs and shove em you losers
http://www.myspace.com/pfisters)

Armida and her Imaginary Band (Karen Dalton doing ragtime and Jandek
if he knew how to arrange a song, new EP is killer
http://www.myspace.com/armidaandherimaginaryband)


DAY 2 APRIL 25TH
Pink Reason ( Dude has made masterpiece 7" 's and a LP that is amazing
to say the least. Druged out slow punk that makes most of whats on
your ipod look stupid http://www.myspace.com/secondculture)

Kurt Vile (There is a reason this guy has been talked about in this
area like hes already a legend, forget the hype, his 2 new releases:
Hunchback EP, and God is Saying this to You...have again floored
people to all with open ears. Jack Rose finger picking, Neil Young
song writing, psych tendencies
http://www.myspace.com/kurtvileofphilly)

Drunkdriver (There really hasn't been a better band name that goes
well with the music. This WILL hurt people, this is there first DC
performance, and not to be the last for sure, but who knows. Swans
meets harry pussy meets mental illness?
http://www.myspace.com/drunkdriverUSA)

The New Flesh (Back from the dead, they will never die, this band
still doesn't care http://www.myspace.com/thenewflesh)

Twin Stumps ( slow sludgey ugly dumb....they dressed like interpol
when I saw them. They barely made it through the set.
http://www.myspace.com/twinstumps)

Unholy Two ( more dudes, more feedback, dont expected to get laid
http://www.myspace.com/theunholytwosucks)

Eightyfive (Harsh Noise that you're friend next door using garage band
is terrible at making. John Wiese lovers, get stoked geeks...
http://www.myspace.com/eighty85five)

IF YOU NEED A PLACE TO STAY GET IN TOUCH

IF YOU MAKE FLYERS GET IN TOUCH (youll be the only ones other than the
bands to get in for free and maybe some money)

THIS WILL BE BROADCASTED LIVE ON WMUCRADIO.COM BOTH DAYS

More info coming soon, keep it in your pants, have fun

Great line up.

I ove Kurt Vile, Drunkdriver, and obviously Pink Reason (i mention him like 10 times a week). Ive hard Rosemary Krust and wasnt into it at all. The others im clueless on.

Rosemary Krust is actually really good, damn, I'm almost looking for bands to be lame these days to help my wallet. They actually remind me a bit of something like a perfec hybri of abrasve no wave and pretty twee music. Tall Dwarfs.

bump

less than a week dudes

amazing fucking lineup

good to see the new flesh still around, haven't listened to them in YEARS

yeah new flesh broke up, they're back

pfisters is a side project and it slays

i like the unholy two.

Editors Pick and blurb in baltimore citypaper:

"The two-day DNA Test Fest II kicks off at Washington's Velvet Lounge with way more bands than I'm going to list here, but highlights include the brooding gazery of Pink Reason, the brash nihilistic punk of NY's Drunkdriver, Baltimore's New Flesh, and slowcore opiate Rosemary Krust (full lineup at myspace.com/dnainthedna). "

Holy shit it's westernquinoxstillrox

Good to know he's still with us!

tonight

I'd love to see The Unholy Two live. Everything I've read about their gigs suggests they put on a party. I'd love to see Drunkdriver live more, though, they must be phenomenal.
