Wednesday Night in DC

It's been a slow start to January, but there a couple of decent shows going down on H Street in DC tonight...

Chicago's The 1900s are playing at Rock and Roll Hotel. DC's The Positions will be opening the show for them.

The 1900s - When I Say Go
The Positions - Back To Me

Paul Michel
DC's Paul Michel has a show at The Red and The Black tonight. For this one, he will be playing acoustic, trying out some new tracks and accepting audience requests.

Paul Michel - Alone All Day

Johnny Brendas Saturday Night

Big show in Fishtown tonight and a rather interesting mix of artists. Castanets, from San Diego and featuring members of Pinback, Rocket From The Crypt and Tristeza, headline the show. With them are the aptly labeled next-one-to-blow-up-and-become-famous The 1900s. See them in a more intimate setting before they become huge. Philly songstress Birdie Busch and electro-folk (!?) artist Ponieheart add the local flavor.

Castanets - Three Days Four Nights
The 1900s - When I Say Go
Birdie Busch - Mystical
Ponieheart - Don't Lie
