The Ex are one of those bands that really changed the way we think about music, and we're very excited to be sharing the Black Cat stage with them on Wednesday 8/13. If you've never heard The Ex, you should run out and get any of their 20 or so records, and prepare to have you mind blown. They'll be playing with guest saxophonist Getatchew Mekuria from Ethiopia.
Wednesday 8/13:
Black Cat, Washington DC: The Ex w/ Getatchew Mekuria with Shortstack
8:00pm, $15 cover.

Alright, we've got two great, and very different, shows at the end of April. Each one special in its own way. First, on Saturday 4/19 we'll be at Comet Ping Pong with Child Ballads. If you haven't seen a show at Comet yet, definitely come check it out. It's a great little spot for loud rock and roll on a Saturday night. Then, on Tuesday 4/22 we'll be at IOTA opening for The Wilders. If you've never heard The Wilders (and we're guessing that most of you haven't) you're in for a serious treat. They are, hands down, the best string band we've seen in years. And they must be seen to be believed. We'll be helping them celebrate the realease of their new CD Someone's Got to Pay on DC's own Free Dirt Records. So we'll see you there!
Saturday, April 19:
Comet Ping Pong, 5037 Connecticut Ave NW Washington DC
Child Ballads and Shortstack
