Hey Seth

Hey Seth,

Craig David will be in the US on April 14th for a show in LA.  If he's just doing a few one offs for promotion, the club is dark on Sunday April 19th....

Thanks.

I think you've asked for Craig David more times than I've asked for SY and MBV combined.

Emiliana Torrini, please.

Popularity wise, she'd be a better fit for a smaller venue, like Sixth and I.

Well, last time she was in D.C. (AFAIK), she opened for Tricky.  (This was circa 2001.)

So she could conceivably be booked as a strong opener with someone else headlining.

The last time she played the area was at Iota in 2005. I don't think her popularity has grown by leaps and bounds since then.

I guess your statement holds true technically, but Arlington is close enough, right?

I don't think the club is generally responsible for picking opening acts unless they are someone local, am I wrong?

the bug!  maybe a new soundsystem first

the club DOES have a new sound system - it's less than a year old.  if a show you went to sounded bad, blame the band and their road crew, not the club's PA.  it can pump out TONS of bass.

i could see an audience for this . . . .

Yeah, the sound system is just fine.


But along those lines:
Caspa/Rusko
Skream
Benga
Plastician

I was completely unaware of this. 

I guess I need to keep an eye on the schedules of venues other than just the 9:30 Club and the Black Cat...

Will we be getting a June show for Phoenix?

[azaghal1981]

Just read that Wolf Eyes and Black Dice will be playing some dates together in late may/early june. I realize the club may be a little big for a lineup like this but it'd more than likely draw a bigger crowd than some of the recent acts we've had (Bell X1, H&LA and Sebastien Tellier off the top of my head).

please bring Phoenix please!

ditto to Phoenix, and at the club, not V-Fest because summer festivals suck

same request for Silversun Pickups
