New Music Club at 9th & U?

[Bags]

Any idea what to expect -- what kind of music they'll be spinning, etc?  Or am I jumping the gun and you'll be finding out all that tonight?

thanks for getting in a good word for me... i've been in touch with DC9bill and will be getting him a mix cd or two soon.  right now the dj slots have been filled but things change.  DC9bill sent me a link to one of his mixs and it's quite good.  he's dj's on saturday.

Yeah, i don't know...hoping to get a good sense myself. they have shown some interest in possibly working with BigYawn on a regular night, so I'm curious just to see what it is all about. I guess Kosmo would know better than I.

The  DC Nine Website is now live.  There is even a forum     Taking a look at the music page confirms what DC9Bill emailed me yesterday and the mix that he sent me the link to.  The club is aiming for airing music from the last couple of years that is otherwised looked over by the Clear Channels of the world.  I think most of the regulars will find one or two artists of interest on the list

Well, just got back, and i have to say, after seeing this place, I am really excited. It is two levels, with the performance space on the top floor. It is bigger and better than velvet and black cat backstage. They are starting shows next Saturday, and i heard that one band you will see this spring is The Go. Kosmo was there, and he seemed to be buddying up to the DJs when i left. Hope that went well for you kosmo. I spoke with one of the owners, and he seems to have a lot of great ideas. The bands will play early, being over by 10, which allows the DJs to start. A bit different. Needless to say, I'm pretty pumped.

i'd have to agree with redsock... DC9 makes a very good first impression.  the second floor performance/dance area doesn't feel cramped like the velvet lounge or cafe saint-ex.  there are plenty of booths to put one's arse if you don't want to stand all night.  there is even a nice alcove near the back with comfy couches to be able get away from the racket.  the downstairs bar area is cool as well.
 
 i was impressed by how friendly the staff was, unlike other local venues.  while there the dj played the tracks listed on the website, and people were spotted shaking their groove thang.  i was impressed with the sound, although it's apparently a temporary setup.
 
 with DC9's plan to start shows early the weekend, one would in theory be able to get in three shows without having to go very far     now all we need is a record shop and good burger joint in the area and that corner of dc will be a great place to hang.

They carded at the door.
 
 A note on the lounge area Kosmo mentioned...it is kinda off to he side, and you can't really see the stage from there, but the owner told me they plan on having close-circuit TV in there to watch the band. Another weird, could be cool, little quirk.

Scaring?  Man you must be a pussy, Mank.  He's so benign, and has been there for so long.  I give him $5 every few visits; he's obviously a local.

You missed the humour....or maybe you didn't! Remember the thread about the homeless around Nation and a few people said they were scary, then the whole topic got on about homeless blokes in general....I was just referring to that. Whatsisface that hangs round the 930 calls me his 'brotha' because we sit and have a chat whenever we cross paths.
 
 I was laughing at the fact some people are freaked out by homeless bums, when all they are is people.
