Who's Coming?
Special Who's Coming post this time. I have divided this post into three parts, with the party of the first part representing shows in our regular venues, part two representing the Fort Reno shows, and part the third detailing the lineup at the Pitchfork Festival in Chicago, at which all four members of Rock Club will be attending.
Okay, Part I. Not too much to shout about here. We'll be attending Black Rebel Motorcycle Club this Saturday. I listened to the new album a few times on my way back and forth to the beach over Memorial Day and I think it's just average, but I've seen them twice and they're good live. The Long Blondes on June 7 may be interesting. Also of note are The Veils at DC9 on June 11, this seems to be a case of an overly-big band in a too-small venue. If you enjoy the sound of many retarded children singing in unison, the Polyphonic Spree will be at the 9:30 on June 30. Miserable Morrissey on July 2 at Wolf Trap, I'm bringing my pregnant-assed wife and packing a picnic for that one. Also, I have been roundly denounced as a big fag for liking the Fiery Furnaces, but I still think they're good, and I want to go see them at the Black Cat on July 5.
Also, whichever dirty, greedy hippy is booking shows for the Birchmere and the State should be strapped between two diesel trucks by Rutger Hauer, like he did to that broad in The Hitcher. Never have I seen a more consistent lineup of crap adult contemporary bands, at such inflated prices. Consistently, month in, month out.

Take a look at those Fort Reno bands. Explain to me how they get a slot, but The Fake Accents get the shaft. It makes no sense. Complete horseshit.
yeah, that makes no sense. if they're not the best local band we've seen, they're certainly in the top 3, and as you can see, there are more than three bands slated for Ft Reno.
Hey all!
Fort Reno had pretty tight Date restrictions, and we submitted stuff back in march April to be considered and followed up pretty consistently... Finally after much back and forth, the Fort Reno crowd decided not only did they like our music, they liked our interaction with them. They are specifically looking for music they like and bands who they can get along with.
They still have a few TBAs listed as well...
Also, I would say best local band is a subjective thing... there are quite a few great bands playing this year... it's just that some of us are newcomers.
Okay Mr Scanner Freak, fair enough. We'll be out for a few dates and will report back to our massive, worldwide readership, so make sure you lay it down with all kinds of explosions and shit.
