There are literally a lot of musical things going on in DC this weekend. Brace yourselves.
Friday (7/27) Violinist-vocalist Kishi Bashi will be in town Friday night at U Street Music Hall, bringing along Tall Tall Trees to the sold-out show.
The Red Palace will be hosting Royal Bangs’s “kinetic rock and roll,” with talented local openers The Blackberry Belles. If you’re hungry for some food and tunes, head over to Comet Ping Ping for Natural Child, The Doozies, and Birdcloud and chow down on delicious pizza pre-gig festivities. And if you’re thirsty, the Rock & Roll Hotel is holding its monthly Spelling Buzz. Take shots and spell ‘til you can’t no mo’.
Saturday night (7/28) brings DC band The Nighttime Adventure Society’s record release party at the Black Cat mainstage. Also playing are Kind Of Like Spitting, and Mike and Cody. The Red Palace is holding Tilted Torch: Play Date that night, a fundraiser for FIGMENT, the free, interactive community arts festival. Acts range from burlesque or comedy to belly dancing to singing to hooping.
Sunday (7/29) is not the typically quiet day it often is. There’s Zulu Pearls, The Tender Thrill, and More Humans at the Black Cat. Charli XCX and St. Lucia take U Hall, and St. Motel, Races and Royal Teeth play DC9. Don’t forget to feul up for the day at the Rock & Roll Hotel’s Full Metal Brunch.
