Iota seems to have transitioned from ?competitive top music venue in DC area? to ?Arlington bar that?s actually tolerable and has the occasional good show.? Definitely does not attract the same caliber of performers as when it first opened (when it got basically all the ?good? alt-country acts when that genre was experiencing its heyday) or in the mid-2000s when they?d get Joanna Newsom, Destroyer, Smog, Akron/Family, other indie-ish bands that had some level of current ?buzz.? Saw that Juana Molina show someone mentioned, was really great. Seems like they realized they couldn?t/didn?t want to compete with all the newer venues and went low-risk, started selling food, etc. Too bad because it was a pretty chill place to see a show, even if the ?random people talking through the entire set? factor was always a little too high.

I bailed on them last go round. Guess the price for that is having the next show at RnRH.

I will just say that A) Diarrhea Planet is a tremendously fun live band and that B) Diarrhea Planet has four guitarists. Four guitarists! That is twice as awesome as a band that has two guitarists, and a band that has two guitarists is already off to a good start.

They just cannot let it go, can they? Does the station even still exist in any form at all?


it is! it went away for awhile, then came back as an online only station...now its on 97.5 in baltimore

can't say i've ever listened to it tho

They play basically what they played 15 years ago with an occasional Imagine Dragons or Grouplove thrown in for giggles.

A bargain at $300.
