DAM! Fest Pre-Party / Exit Clov / Dirty on Purpose

[amnesiac]

w/ DJ Geologist (of Animal Collective) and The Dance Party, this Friday at Rock & Roll Hotel.
 
 Should be a fun night. Anyone else going?

[redsock]

Obviously I will be there. It is a pretty slow night in terms of DC music, so I'm hoping some of you slackers show up. Also, it is the CD release party for Exit Clov's new EP, Respond Respond, a good time to support a band.
 
 And, you will be able to donate instruments or money to Chime, a DC based charity that works to aid DC public school music programs, of which nearly all in DC are suffering. We'll be doing this for the entire festival, but why not help us start out with bang? Plus Geologist from Animal Collective will be ipod spinning all night, and Dirty on Purpose will be there. All you too cool for school hipsters who are "above" Exit Clov can still feel good about going.
 
 See, we can all win!

How's the area in terms of safety and parking?

A decent amount of parking. Pretty safe I've found, but I'm big.

Based on the image that I have in my head, I really, really want to see this couple.

Went to this show. Exit Clov was very good and the first act, The Dance Party, was a ton of fun. Sound was less than good. I still haven't found a spot in the room where it sounds good. I'm sure time and money will fix that though.

Having seen them both, that image in your head can't begin to do them justice...

The sounds suffered from the fact that the venue switched out their sound board an hour before the show... given those circumstances, I think they held it together well. But it was certainly muddy.

Well this was the third show I've been to see there and all three times the sound has been poor. They need to bring a sound engineer into the room and design a sound system that fits the space.
