 http://www.velvetloungedc.com/
 
 in a great place which is about as big as my living room (not very)

www.pheer.com has a wider range (of area and of bands) of shows in the dc/md/va area... sometimes you'll have to sift through the crap but there are tons of shows posted up there.

Plus, the Friday show at Velvet is a HIPS benefit.  I think it will be a cool night overall.  Good choice.  Plus, we had that "the velvet lounge is closed" scare this past weekend, so it's a way to celebrate that the club is still open!

Dwight Yoakam puts on a good show. $35 is a bot steep though.

Emma Gibbs Band - Iota - 7/25
 
 definitely worth it.

There's a bunch of bands over at Between Friends (1115 U Street, NW DC) at 11th and U St.
 
 It's for the BOUND Summer Masquerade Ball
 
 
 More Machine Than Man from Boston (great multimedia live show!)
 Carfax Abbey from Philly
 Fixer from NYC (they sound like a mix between Guns and Roses meets Alice in Chains)
 
 There's like 4 more bands that are playing on the "side stage" for this event across the street at U-Turn.
 
 Hope that helps!

I haven't been to a Pietasters show in a couple of years, but their shows used to be a good time

[Jaguär]

Saw them in Ocean City back in the mid '90s and they put on a very good show. I'm just not into Ska but if you like that kind of stuff, you should very much enjoy their show.

The Pietasters seem like a good idea for a show on friday. Even if you're not the biggest fan (just make sure you don't Loathe it) of ska, they promise to put on a fun and entertaining show. I saw them at 9:30 with the Slackers last winter and we all ended up on stage dancing around. And I can't even dance. It was so fun.

I second that.  Plus the Shakedowns are fun too.
