Just wanted to let everyone know my friend Brandon and I will be hosting our monthly indie music night, "We Fought the Big One" over at The Marx Cafe tonight. It's free, 21+, and we spin from 10pm till 3am. If you don't know where The Marx Cafe is, it's in Mt. Pleasant (3203 Mt. Pleasant St to be precise), sorta behind Adams Morgan.
The music is a mix of old, new, familiar and not-so-familiar with a bit of art-school punk, post punk, jangle pop, shoegaze, brit pop and even a bit of the indie electro stuff. Here's last month's setlist for a better idea...
