Live: Janelle Monae at the Black Cat, DC

She gave us an experience. Sort of like a Warhol Factory happening – meets – Alice in Wonderland, set in a strange [...]

Concert Review: The Very Best/Javelin @ DC 9 – 11/2/09
It’s truly the simplest of pleasures in the universe that evoke the greatest appreciation. It is by this statement that we define the success that was The Very Best’s completely sold out tour stop with Javelin at DC 9 on Monday evening. The Very Best, which takes the dark, gritty ghetto electro remixing of Radioclit [...]

Live: Mayer Hawthorne at DC9, Washington, DC
Photos By Jati Lindsay. Please Support. Mayer Hawthorne is the most unassuming guy in the room. While the openers Buff 1 and 14k were on stage, Mr. Hawthorne sat quietly in the back, observing the sold-out crowd at Washington’s DC9. With his vintage 50s ERA frames and a build that looks a bit too much [...]

Concert: Murs at Rock and Roll Hotel, DC
Photos By Jati Lindsay Before MURS took stage at the Rock and Roll Hotel last Friday, he spent time talking to fans and trying his best to blend in with the eclectic and already anxious crowd that waited to see him perform.

SINGLE REVIEW: “HUFF + PUFF” by Just A Band
This joint right here is real sexy-like. Your body will automatically go into autopilot: your head will start boppin’, and you’ll break into a soulful yet swingin’ two-step (think of the Robert Palmer video girls…on speed). The very beginning of the song reminds me of Supernature-era Goldfrapp with heavy synths keys, some la-la-las, and a [...]
