Who’s in Town? Not to miss shows in… DC!
We may be 10 days into the month, but that leaves, oh, about 20 more to check out some awesome live music coming to DC. These shows will not disappoint:
11/15 The XX @ DC9
If you’ve never heard of The XX, take a listen it’s likely that you’ll get addicted. The experience is relaxing yet captivating; like mellow indie-pop with a dash of electro. The band also happens to be ranked number 6 on NME’s Future 50 List, go check out what all the hype’s about!
11/16 Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros w/ Fool’s Gold, Local Natives @ The Black Cat
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros have a feature length movie musical in the works AND ten band members. The possibilities are simply endless. Be sure to get there early to see Local Natives! Their live show is insane.
11/18 Pretty Lights @ 930 Club
Pretty Light’s mixes are absolutely sick. So are his lights.
11/19 David Guetta @ Fur
The French house-electro mastermind is finally making his way back to the nation’s capital, and he’s bringing the party with him. Guetta is the man when it comes collaborations with other artists (ex: Sexy B*tch feat. Akon and Memories feat. Kid Cudi are two of my many favorite hits off of his new album One Love. This show will be ridiculous and wild, so grab your dancing shoes, and GO!
11/22 Little Dragon @ Liv Nightclub
I’m so proud of the Swedish. They never seem to disappoint, and Little Dragon is no exception. Their sound is fresh; a clash of soul and electro. Don’t let her size fool you; expect nothing but greatness from front woman Yukimi Nagano, who’s soft yet powerful vocal are sure to take you on a ride.
11/25 Devendra Banhart @ 930 Club
Yes, that is his real name. The bilingual Banhart was born in Texas, raised in Venezuela, and studied in San Francisco. His style of psychedelic folk music infuses both English and Spanish, which makes for a unique and interesting sound that will captivate anyone and everyone in the audience to sway and move in ways you wouldn’t initially expect. It’s the perfect way to spend a relaxing Wednesday evening.
11/27 Zero 7 @ 930 Club
We have tickets to give away to this show (details coming soon!), but if you don’t win, you should definitely check out this show. Its going to rock.
11/30 Imogen Heap @ 6th & I
Imogen Heap’s hair is majestic, as is her voice. The tone of Heap’s voice, combined with the melodies of her piano, ensure that this Monday night will be anything but ordinary. Here’s a little preview of the amazing performance you can expect from the Grammy-nominated performer.
