Hey there,
Just wanted to give a "shout-out" to all the indie fans on this board that are into obscure post-punk, shoegaze and weird electronic stuff. My friend Brandon & I will be spinning tonight at the Marx Cafe (3203 Mt. Pleasant St NW Washington DC) for another round of our "We Fought the Big One" event. No Cover but you must be 21. We'll be spinning from 10pm till 3am. If you haven't been to Marx before, it's a cool little place in Mt. Pleasant, kinda behind Adams Morgan.
I realize there are a shitload of other alternative music events in the city, but a lot of them play a predictable selection of songs music fans have heard thousands of times before. We just wanted to offer an alternative to that, hopefully even turning some people onto new bands. Here's what we played last month...
