Weekend Update

The next four days hold a few fantastic ways to spend an evening in the DC area.

 

Thursday the 24^th, 9 pm - Juniper Lane, Jupiter One and Celeste Starchild at IOTA Club & Café. - A rootsy-pop filled evening at the (aforementioned) best small venue in the area.

Friday the 25^th, 9 pm – Liberation Dance Party at DC9. - Every Friday - Djs spin a mix of rock, electronic, hip-hop and music videos.

Saturday the 26^th, 9 pm - Jukebox the Ghost (CD Release), Pash, and Bellman Barker at The Black Cat.- Deservingly trendy bands play deservingly trendy venue. CD release included. Possible stage antics. Review of this next week.

Sunday the 27th, 9 pm – Mike Maloney and Justin Trawick at Galaxy Hut. - Arguably, two to the area’s best singer/songwriters play at Wilson’s Blvd’s tiniest bar/club, with the very, very best artwork.

Monday the 28^th, 9:30 pm - The Shackeltons and Raise Up Roofbeams at The Red & The Black Bar.- Pennsylvania based and about to release a brand new cd, on their way to SXSW, The Shackeltons, a rumored mix of volatility and poetry, partner with  like-minded Raise Up Roofbeams.   H Street rejoices. I have a problem with fixing long, comma-ridden sentences.

Andy Zipf Does More Pfenomenal Things.

One of DC’s favorite guitar wielding artists, Andy Zipf has no promotional rule book and that’s working out just fine. From “Podjacking” (using an iPod’s broadcasting capabilities to send bursts of short targeted marketing messages) to making customized t-shirts and postcards for his fans, to holding the AZ Corporation Jukebox (a covers-only show, determined by fan’s emails), Andy Zipf has created his own niche in the music industry. His most recent plan, the Pfriends on Pfilm (Andy Zipf : Pfriends on Pfilm) Tour, takes Zipf, Pete Lim (percussion/keys/bgvs) and Brad Wolf (new media artist, VJ) on an east-coast-ish ride through some of their favorite venues, projecting in them images onto a screen and themselves that coincide with the music. The hope is for a live soundtrack appeal. The whole shebang starts this Friday, January 18^th, at Fairfax’s SOTA  and goes through February 2^nd.
