If you could pick a band...

[Bombay Chutney]

I saw French Toast open for Q and not U a while back and thought they were great. I'd definitely like to see them again.

[Medusa]

I've never heard the music of French Kicks, but I have always loved this cover of theirs.  The first time I saw it, I laughed so much!  It is so cute!  
 
 Who knows?  Perhaps this is what the British Sea Power owl gets into (smoking, not French Kicks) on his days off.

Yes! I saw them in Va. Beach. When I got home I scoured the internet for their site/music/schedule. I thought they are (originally) from WVA, dunno. French toast from Amphora's is pretty damn good too.  

[Lazer Guided Melodies]

How about The Volta Sound from Cleveland.  Why not make it a full on Cleveland night with New Planet Trampoline as well.

Count your blessings!

Well, no Apes.... they and The Wrens are the only two bands to tell me no, so far...
 
 I have to admit, this concert booking thing is kinda fun, though stressful. You're literally writing your favorite bands to play your show, but you still have to have someone play the show if they all turn you down.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

face it, they're all gonna turn you down.
 
 then you're going to have to beg Fico to play.

Let the rumors begin....a certain band from Phili has confirmed they will be appearing at the BigYawn party. But who could it be? Let's just say it is a b-day present for Bags.

[Bags]

GGW was closer...Burning Brides, Bags, BigYawn...it was a band mentioned earlier in this thread too.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Burning Brides are closer to Bigger Lovers than the roots are in what respect? Obscurity? Alphabetically?

It's all in the alliteration!!!

[walkman]

get the carlsonics to open!  oh wait, I can't go without dusting off a fake ID.  what a load.
 
 the DC indie music scene only exists thanks to the efforts of the first wave of punk bands...and they couldn't even buy tickets to the shows they were playing until MacKaye and the boys stepped in.  Music venues - especially in DC - should be all ages.  End of story.
