Sweet - I love TBA.

My sister had a boyfriend in high school with a band called TBA (for real)...they had a song called "Fake ID" that was a real knee-slapper....at least it was to a 14 year-old.

i already posted in the Just Announced thread, but obviously no one looked there.    
 at any rate, YAY!!!  i must miss the first show because of Sonic Youth, but i plan on being there for most of the rest.  Fort Reno is the best thing about summer.

I have been out of the DC music scene for some time.  If I can only make it to one show, which one should I choose?

[anarchist]

I'd say the Georgie James/Hard Tomorrows one.

yup.
 
 
 Anarchist, Evens will probably for sure most definitely play - that should be a given.  Q and Not U is obviously not together anymore, and thus cannot play this year.  Travis Morrison is a toss up, because he's already doing a black cat show over the summer and is playing in New York and some other places, so...who knows.  hopefully that will happen.  others i'm assuming/hoping will have shows are *Edie Sedgwick* (who i have yet to see...), Antelope, Monopoli, and tons of others.  i really want to see Exit Clov up there one of these days, too.

can i get back to you once the full schedule is up?  from that list alone, i'd go with Metropolitan or Georgie James.  but, wait.  they'll have tons of other good acts.  and if Evens do schedule, and you can only pick one, see them.  they are awesome.

i've seen ft. reno criticized in past years as only putting on local bands who conform to the dischord sound and scene, while leaving out the more poppy side of the indie spectrum ... what do ya'll think about that?  any validity?

a little bit...yes...BUT
 they've already scheduled Georgie James, haven't they?  so hopefully we've got a few more fun, poppy little bands to look forward to.
 i don't mind the whole Dischord thing one bit, but it would be nice to see some more variation up there.

I've heard that too. . of course we don't all know who sends in demos every year (I'm sure a ton) but I do know that WSC (poppy indie to the max) has always been turned down, even though they are arguably one of the better known D.C. bands.
