AHHH too much music coming my way!

There are so many good shows heading to the DC/Baltimore area that I don't know what to do with myself. I can't afford all of them, so I'm going to have to pick and choose from all the talent coming my way. I'm going to list some of the great acts that are going to be in our area for you, because I know how easy it is to miss your favorite band. Ever go to the 9:30 Club website and see the words "Just Announced" right above the words "Sold Out?" I've definitely been there. Here's a heads up for all you cool cats on what's going on in the next month or so. Tell your friends.

February 26th @ Black Cat: Tokyo Police Club w/ Born Ruffians. Do you like The Killers or Bloc Party? If so, you should probably check them out. I already have tickets to the show. See you there?


February 23rd @ 9:30 Club: Mos Def. Need I say more? Get your tickets before the second night sells out too.

February 26th @ 9:30 Club: Ben Kweller. Upbeat, fun, suburban white-kid music. If you don't already listen to his stuff, you're missing out.

February 28th @ Rams Head Live!: Michael Franti & Spearhead.


March 7th @ Black Cat: Kimya Dawson. This is the chick whose voice you'll recognize from most of the soundtrack for the movie Juno. Playful, political, and fun, Kimya Dawson is worth the $13 it'll cost you to see her.

March 23rd @ 9:30 Club: Cut Copy w/Matt & Kim. I do love Cut Copy, but the real reason I'm going to this show is to see Matt & Kim. Watch this video and see how hard it is to not love this Brooklyn dance-duo. If you only go to one show I mention, make it this one. I will definitely be at this show, and it will be the eve of my birthday; join the festivities!
