TONIGHT at thee Velvet Lounge: Spectrum (Sonic Boom of Spacemen 3 leading a full band, performing many classic Spacemen songs). I opened for Spectrum in Philly last year and can only say that I am once again stoked to be opening for them in DC. Kuschty Rye Ergot will be 2nd, performing in rare organ/synth duo format (don't worry, guitar and percussion will find their way in their somewhere!). Vacant Lots from Vermont and Screen Vinyl Image (DC's electro-shoegaze eardrum-destroyers) round out a solid bill of psychedelic exploration.
