As long as it is good music yes. Unfortunately, I haven't seen great local bands from the DC area. The last local band I saw were Q AND NOT U  (are they from the DC area?) and left the show after a few songs.<P>

don't Q and Not U embody the 'DC sound'? that revolution summer "we wish we were fugazi" DC sound? I like Q and not U more than the rest of those bands, but once you've been going to ft. reno for several years, you pick up on that 'DC sound' - here's the part that sounds like fugazi. yeah. local music can be good, if only there was a decent venue for it in DC.

How about Dismemberment Plan?  Did anyone else catch them at the Black Cat in December?

Just read on some random site this morning that there are rumors D Plan may sign with Jade Tree (www.jadetree.com not me) and there may be a new lineup.  The new lineup rumor was surprising.

I wonder if it is always guys with thick rimmed glasses who look like Jack Osbourne who find all these rumours first?
