Mid-Week Double Dip

I know gas prices are outrageous, but not to worry, the bands are doing the traveling for you. Check out these shows playing in both DC and Philly over the next few days:


Former Test Icicles member Dev Hynes bring his new side-project, Lightspeed Champion through the area. Huge in the UK, it is bound to be a big hit over here. They are joined by singer-songwriter Adam Green. You may know of him from his time with the Moldy Peaches and the Juno soundtrack. Rounding out the bill are Flowers Forever, featuring members of Tilly & The Wall.

6/3: DC @ Black Cat
6/4: Philly @ First Unitarian

mp3: Lightspeed Champion - Midnight Surprise
mp3: Flowers Forever - Black Rosary

Going the opposite direction, Bottle Up & Go showcase what can be best described as garage blues. They are sharing dates with The Bronze Episode. At the Philly show, you can see Chris Kasper. While in DC, they are joined by Len Bias and Six O'Clock Saints.

6/3: Philly @ The Fire
6/5: DC @ The Red and The Black

mp3: Bottle Up & Go - Wayword Son
mp3: Chris Kasper - Underneath & All Around
mp3: Len Bias - Born On A Casting Couch

Joining the two city shuffle is White Rabbits, finishing up a tour that took them way out west. Now they head home, playing in DC and Philly, before finishing back in New York. Along for the ride is Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson and his dirty grungy psychedelic blues. In Philly, Aderbat shares the bill and Greenland joins them in DC.

6/4: Philly @ Johnny Brenda's
6/5: DC @ Black Cat

mp3: White Rabbits - The Plot
mp3: Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson - Drive

Quick Picks For Tuesday

Alright, there are a couple of good shows to help you get through this finger numbing Tuesday.

Editors - credit

At 9:30 Club, Editors come to town for a sold out show and they bring Hot Hot Heat and Louis XIV along for the ride. You can also check out this bill Friday night at Electric Factory in Philly.

Editors - Lullaby (The Cure cover)
Hot Hot Heat - Rehab (Amy Winehouse cover)
Louis XIV - Guilt By Association

Vandaveer

Over at Black Cat is a great little show. DC's own Vandaveer is playing along with an excellent band from Brooklyn called Bottle Up & Go. For those of you looking for something a little bit different, I highly recommend this one.

Vandaveer - Marianne, You've Done It Now
Bottle Up & Go - Take This Hammer
