Marx Cafe roll call

[Bags]

So tomorrow night is the June "We Fought the Big One" at Marx Cafe...I'm finally gonna make it!  
 Here are the deets from past nights:
 
 It's free and we spin until 3am.
 
 And for those of you that would like more info about the night, here it is:
 
 "We Fought the Big One" is a new monthly indie music night hosted by local music obsessives turned DJs Brandon Grover and Rick Taylor aka DJ Trickster. Held the first Friday of every month at The Marx Cafe (3203 Mt. Pleasant Street, NW), "We Fought..." features a diverse range of musical styles: jangle guitar pop, post-punk, shoegaze, left-of-center brit pop, and indie electro, to name a few. While there will be plenty of artists played at "We Fought..." that are considered "fan favorites", a strong emphasis will be placed on excellent songs that rarely get played out in clubs, if ever. In addition, the night will serve as a showcase for new and upcoming bands from the U.K. and elsewhere that have yet to break the American market (or have their albums released here!), as well as older bands from the 80s and 90s that were never given the recognition they deserved (The Trash Can Sinatras, Close Lobsters & House of Love come to mind). Ultimately, the goal is to create an environment where music fans can hear some of their favorite bands alongside worthy bands that they haven't heard, whether they are from the past or the present.
 
 There is no cover charge. 21+
 10pm-3am

 ===============================
 DJ TRICKSTER (WE FOUGHT THE BIG ONE)
 
 Rumor has it DJ Trickster got his name playing "tricks" on other DJs in order to hear his favorite Factory & Creation Records artists. While he will neither confirm nor deny the truth of this, Trickster admits the number of requests he's made since getting behind the decks himself has dropped significantly.
 
 Trickster can now be heard spinning the first Friday night of each month at the Marx Cafe in Mt. Pleasant, where he co-deejays "We Fought the Big One"â??a night specializing in new, import-only indie selections alongside classic, older alternative sounds. Trickster has also been known to make frequent appearances at the Blue Room, where he often spins on Wednesday nights at "Hi Fi", Blue's open-turntable event.

It's possible I might finally make my first 'Big One' appearance tomorrow. Pretty excited, hope I can be there.

I've got "Much Ado About Nothing" in the park tomorrow, but plan to be to the Big One by 11 or so....

Isn't that the Salvadoran street gang that chops off people's arms with machetes?

Nope, M83 steals roses from Ms. Thornberry's garden.

Thanks for posting about the night Bags!  I really appreciate it big time!
 
 Btw, we'll be spinning some brand new British Sea Power that I'm very excited about.  Apparently the band teamed up with a really cool Czech band called The Ecstacy of Saint Theresa and recorded some new stuff earlier this year...

[Reechard D Taylor]

Hey there,
 
 Just want to remind everybody that tonight's the night for moody mayhem over at the Marx Cafe, so if you ever use words like "dark," "atmospheric", "shimmering" or "jangly" to describe the kind of music you like, you won't want to miss out...
 
 Remember, it's free and we spin until 3, so if that Friday night date doesn't work out as planned, come brood with us.

No, thats the USMP

 I'm sorry to DJ Trickster & Medusa -- I didn't make it by last night.  And I was so excited about it!  Got caught in Vienna, VA with a friend 'with issues' at the moment.  Looks like I'm waiting until July 2 now...
 
 Hope it was a smashing night!

[Medusa]

Yes, missed seeing you there Bags!  Roundabout 11 p.m. I thought, I wonder where Bags is?  Then about 1.30 a.m. I thought, oh no, I guess she can't make it.  I left about that time - wish I could have stayed until the end - but tiredness got me.  
 
 Cheers
 
 DJ Medusa.
