According to Elkland's website, this is the line-up:
 Aug. 16th - Washington D.C.
 @ Black Cat
 9:30pm - Elkland
 10:30pm- Ambulance LTD
 11:30pm- Elefant
 All Ages
 $10

I'm skeptical of those set times...the doors are 8:30, and the Cat doesn't usually have an hour before the first band goes on.  At least, I hope it's wrong -- 11:30 headliner on a school night, and a Monday no less, is rough.
 
 -edit- Just looked at that website, and they do have different and very specific times for each show.  Damn...  So what's Elkland like?

From a review linked from their site: "Elkland are more Pet Shop Boys ish in their sound than the others and deliver their shown in a non-stop danceable style that is at once infectious and fun. Having signed to Sony and on a hot run of shows in NYC, they're out to prove that their staying power and mass appeal are as strong as their stage show."
 
 I'm listening to the MP3 posted on their site. I don't know about Pet Shop Boys, but I hear New Order influences. It's very upbeat and dancey, but it didn't grab me right away.
 
 But yeah, tonight Ambulance will be the headliner for me since I'll depart after their set. I'm going to another show tomorrow night will be a wreck as it is.

Anyone coming to this who has the new Burning Brides?  Can't decide if it's a show I should hit...don't know 'em.

BB are a great live band, but I'm not liking the new album so much. Their previous release, Fall of the Plastic Empire, is great.

I can burn you a copy if I have time.  Or I can pass on a copy a nice moderator here gave me before I had  my own copy.
 
 I feel differently than Random Citizen about the albums, I think the first album is weak but sounds great live and the new one is great.

[Bags]

I've tended to hear that the new album is better, or I should say preferred...  I'd love to hear it.  Now if only there were *something* I could exchange, but I think you have me beat every way upside and down in the old music dept.

I think you have more Barry Mannilow than Pollard!!!

[Bags]

Yes, that is true, Markie.  I have that ONE Barry Manilow greatest hits CD I got for free (with a concert tee, that I find hysterical and admit to loving)...you got me.  Pollard, I'm happy to bring a copy for you if you're interested...

You only have one greatest hits CD, what about regular albums?

[Bags]

Nope, no regular albums.  It's true.  You don't believe me, do you...

[markie]

I believe you.....
 
 But will you deny having the barenaked ladies and Metallica in your collection?

[Bags]

You are such a noodge, Markie.  I'm proud to have Metallica...    :p

Just to bring the thread topic back to Amublance, Ltd. I just saw they're opening for all the area Killers dates in early October. (Surferosa too).
