Boys & Girls:
This is just a reminder that the first-ever
DCist concert, Unbuckled, is taking place this Thursday at the Black Cat backstage. The concert will feature Cartel and Bicycle Thieves, two great local bands. There'll be a bunch of giveaways, including concert tickets for Tegan & Sara, Teenage Fanclub, and Thievery Corporation. Admission is just $7, and things will get started at 9p.m. If you've got a blog and you're so inclined, we'd definitely appreciate a mention - you can find the banner and button for the concert here:

I am going to try like mad to make the show- Friday should be quite slack around the area, why not get started early with the weekend...
-
I'm gonna try to make it.
-
I'd LOVE to come but can't...more power to you!
-
Sorry you'll miss it bags..DJing and the Bicycle Thieves to boot...tsk tsk
-
I'm not sure if I will be able to make it or not but will try. Would also love to see Bicycle Thieves. Another one of those bands that I liked several years ago and had no clue they were local. That's always a nice surprise.

i would try, and i like the bands, but i want nothing to do with dcist. they were such jerks with the presale stuff earlier this year. i don't know why i'd go to anything they put on.

Forgive and forget...its a chance to snag some Teenage Fanclub tickets!!

A "bump" just for you, Fico!
-
yes, a bump was a good idea, this post almost made it out of the top 15. God forbid someone signs on to this board without reading all about cartel.

Hey, Sparky: it's what this board is all about. Just pass up the subject if you're not interested. Reading each Topic is not mandatory...so far...Sonick: Funny of the day: I'll take my extra bike lock!
-
exactly. the nature of the board is to pass something up if you're not interested. just like we were all doing, until you bumped this post. it's a message board, not an advertising section.

Hey,
Went to the DCist show last night with a couple of friends - something was going on there. REALLY crowded!
Buzz worthy stuff, I was surprised.
Fun night. Fico, your band Cartel has a really dynamic sound, kudos.

The Bicycle Thieves were really good; Cartel was great! They played to a packed house. The turnout for both these bands was nice to see in a town that doesn't always support local bands. Cartel's stepped up show schedule and rehearsals are really showing. Even a couple jaded musicians standing near me, friends of the "Thieves", were blown away by them. Their sound is really beautiful and unique...be sure to get a copy of their CD...Don't forget this Sunday night at Iota...Cartel is positively worth a trip to the 'burbs...awww, come on, it's on the Metro.
The crowd in the backstage last night was really unique for the BC: Not alot of yacking, friendly, polite...and only a few smokers. Thank God, cause there seems to be NO ventilation in that room; and it was about 150 degrees...a co-ed sauna with no towel service. :D
-
yes - it was packed (over 200 people came out, was the official count) and both the bands sounded AMAZING. thanks to everybody who showed up!
