You might like them.  Did you already check out their music?
No. I literally have not heard of them. I saw your post and then 30 min later a local venue posted a show announcement. Wouldn't have registered with me otherwise.

This was a down year for me, but, for my money, the best shows of 2015 were (roughly in this order):

2015/06/09 Florence + The Machine @ Merriweather Post Pavilion -- just stands out as the best performance of the year
2015/09/27 The Jesus and Mary Chain @ 9:30 Club -- most memorable show, electrifying
2015/02/10 Glen Hansard @ Lincoln Theatre -- he performed for nearly three hours, and it still felt like it wasn't enough!
2015/07/10 The New Pornographers/Thao & the Get-Down, Stay-Down @ 9:30 Club -- left this show with the biggest smile on my face
2015/10/29 Garbage @ 9:30 Club -- surprisingly, remarkably fun show; the crowd was really into it
2015/02/24&25 Sleater-Kinney @ 9:30 Club -- it's Sleater-fucking-Kinney, baby!
2015/03/04 The Juliana Hatfield Three @ Black Cat -- exceeded my expectations by a wide margin

I am doing a top 30 list of favorite sets on my blog, in ten show sets.  I have a few sentences of why I picked each show, and pictures from all of them.

Any 2015 show regrets?  I regret not grabbing a Death Grips ticket before they sold out.  I also regret skipping Exodus at Black Cat.

oh I have many regrets.. its not unusual that I don't go see a band and then I really start listening to their music and am like 'hey when are they coming to town?'

I think I regret missing Def Leppard.. I been listening a lot to their first two albums.. very rockin'....they played Nissan this year but look like they are skipping next year....

I regret drinking 49 beers before the Luna DC show...

I don't like Def Leppard or Luna so I didn't have anything to add to your post.

Is Gesaffelstein a DJ set?   I missed out on his U Hall show a couple years back.
