Big show Tomorrow at The Black Cat

First thing is first: I'm sure in every decade since the late seventies DC musicians have yearned for "the good old days" when DC was known as a city where musicians took chances and made fresh, compelling music. However, I doubt that desire has ever been so deep as it has been lately. With the recent amount of punk pop/new wave/dance punk garabage that has been shat out of this city for the last oh say 3 or 4 years it has been easy to forget this town was once a bastion of originality and experimentalism. I think many of those who remember the first time they heard Frodus, Fugazi, Nation of Ulysses and so many other legendary dc bands are awaiting a new DC musical renaissance where the dance/new wave dragon which flew in here from New York or LA or London or some other industry town prizing fashion over music is finally slain and DC takes back its mantle (lost in large part to Baltimore where most midatlantic radness is occuring these days) as the town where the best underground music is made. That day is coming soon my brothers and sisters...but until then you might as well kill sometime and come see us play our brand of new wave dance punk with Imperial China and True Womanhood!!!!!!
