Celebration plays NYC and tours Europe. I imagine they have a better time performing in Baltimore which is their home, than DC. The crowds at Baltimore Celebration shows are full of their friends and family, all completely into it. No talking, none of the lame DC behavior (including standing around with hands in pockets). I have seen them around eight times so far, and each time was magical. They never disappoint, from free street festivals (Hampdenfest) to small art gallery/venues (Metro Gallery)... Celebration dropped their label and then decided to release everything for free, and the physical versions through Friends Records. The band does NOT want to tour all the time, which is one reason they had a falling out with 4AD and went the independent route. Dont you live in this area? If you are as big a fan as you say you are, I would suggest going to Baltimore.
