Just Announced

[eltee]

a bunch of other RnR shows that caught my eye, some probably posted previously (too lazy to check)

sweetie, definitely most if not all announced. keep up.

Ha. Anvil. I want to sit with twangirl for a week and assist book.
Won't be here for them, or Air...you guys will have to tell me how they are.

Th 4/29 Kaki King 930

[RustyOrgan]Is she performing nude?[/RustyOrgan]

I'd pay to see Kaki King and Joanna Newsom locked in a 69 - anything to keep them from singing

You know, her fingerpicking is very good. If she shut up and focused on that, I wouldn't mind seeing her. Then again, fingerpickers don't headline 930 very often. Her vocals (and lyrics) are painful, however. Love me some Joanna Newsom, though.

Hopefully Cage the Elephant gets a bigger crowd than their last trip here.  They have blown up quite considerably since then, so I don't doubt it.

Back to Rhode Island bands and The Low Anthem... their MySpace says they are playing both the Kennedy Center at 6pm 3/11, then the Club at 11pm on the same night.

Anyone have any idea what thats about?

Yes, apparently they're playing the Kennedy Center at 6pm and then the 9:30 Club at 11pm. Traffic's a bitch, but it seems doable, yaknow?

Millennium stage?

Pierced Arrows
3/11
Golden West

[eltee]

probably. obviously the time fits. Plus, I've noticed MS is expanding their recent and upcoming performance selections beyond the locals. (via other artists' schedules too)

*edit* well, yes: http://www.lowanthem.com/tour.php

Unless, you were asking why two shows in one day? Then, no, don't if there is something special regarding the twofer.

[Stillwater]

I guess I've just never seen anyone of consequence booked at the Kennedy Center for shows, never mind free shows with another booked later that night.  Kinda ballsy booking during your first club-level headlining tour...

EDIT: Apparently I know nothing about the KC and they do these free shows everyday...

[azaghal1981]

The fact that they are playing there isn't much of a shocker at all. That they are playing there on the same night as a show somewhere else is interesting, though.

The Berlin Philharmonic was pretty good when I saw them there back in the 90s.

That Mavis Staples is such a nobody

[hutch]

I've seen some good free shows there and always check the listings...

Patti Smith
Benny Golson and Curtis Fuller
Pinetop Perkins and the Nighthawks
Dick Morgan
Julieta Venegas

and

Federico Aubele

But lately it seems pretty rare that I see anything that jumps out at me...


I also saw some great paid shows there:

Sonny Rollins
Pink Martini (with NSO)
The Temptations or whats left of them (with NSO)


The place is obviously a national treasure and one of the many perks of living in DC.. Just take a walk on the roof..what a view!

negative.... much like The New Mastersounds who seem to spring up at various jam music events and i wouldn't consider  a jam band, they are probably trying to broaden their fan base and get paid.  although i would think The Budos Band would be a better choice than SJDK
