Title: Run For Cover?
Post by: nkotb on June 18, 2007, 03:21:00 pm: I know it's early, but is anyone planning on making it out this weekend? I haven't been in a year or two, but my wife is working all weekend, so I'm free to roam the streets of DC.

Post by: sweetcell on June 18, 2007, 04:44:00 pm: does this event have a website? the only info i've come across is on the BC's website:

Run For Cover 6
For the sixth year in a row, a handful of DC's rock & rollers unite for a night of tribute and parody. As usual, makeshift bands take the stage to play other people's tunes. But by "makeshift" we don't mean "half-ass."

If past years' sold-out Mainstage shows have been any indication, these bands are good. They've spent months preparing for what has become the Event of the Summer. And - oh yeah - this is gonna be your only chance to catch these single-performance groups.

This year's lineup includes performances by Abbatite for Destruction, Revelation 88, Serious Moonlight, American Psychos, Don't Fear the Reefer, and much more.

Last but not least...the best part of the whole thing? In true DC spirit, the event is always a benefit; this year's proceeds go to Fort Reno.

Are you sure this isn't ABBA?
Title: Re: Run For Cover?
Post by: nkotb on June 20, 2007, 08:31:00 am: Oh, good call. Maybe ABBA songs done in a GNR style? Or vice versa?

Post by: amnesiac on June 22, 2007, 02:20:00 pm: Does this ever sell out in advance?
Title: Re: Run For Cover?
Post by: kcjones119 on June 22, 2007, 02:40:00 pm: I think last year it sold out day-of before doors opened.
Title: Re: Run For Cover?
Post by: nkotb on June 22, 2007, 02:42:00 pm: Speaking of which...anyone definitely in? I should be there. And tigers scare me, is there any chance I could provide Jesus and the Lizards with a set list for them to learn by Saturday? I've got a few choice cuts I'd like them to play :D

Post by: tigersscareme on June 22, 2007, 03:08:00 pm: i am sadly not affliated with that band.

Then again, if they really want to sell it... :eek:

tigers, if I see anyone freaking out about testicles, I'll assume it's you and will buy you a drink.

Post by: nkotb on June 23, 2007, 07:44:00 pm: Correction...it's a gray Hot Snakes shirt. I spilled dinner on the other one :mad:

Post by: Herr Professor Doktor Doom on June 24, 2007, 11:03:00 pm: my god, that was sooo good!

I'm not sure why this thread focuses on Jesus and the Lizards, they were fun, but the bands that followed, so much better!

Post by: calecp01 on June 25, 2007, 03:10:00 pm: I thought the David Bowie cover band was the highlight.

We got a couple behind the scenes pics:

If anyone got any good photos of the performances let me know, thanx.
Title: Re: Run For Cover?
Post by: Herr Professor Doktor Doom on June 25, 2007, 06:37:00 pm: So were the people who shoved their way to the front during Maximum Overdrive and proceeded to spend the whole set snapping pictures of themselves -- no apparent interest in the actual band -- anyone known to y'all?

not to be toooo much of a smart-ass, but is a pin really something that will get you recognized in a dark club? kinda small, doncha think? might want to point out something a little larger, lest nkotb spend the evening inspecting every young lady's shirt.

oh, wait... never mind.
