What Is Up: DC Edition 7/26 - 8/01
Some good shows going down this week, and a few of them still aren’t sold out (surprisingly, actually). For my money, Seu Jorge and Almaz are sure to be phenomenal, as their new record together is top class, and the Windian Records 1 Year Anniversary shows are jam packed with great punk/rockabilly acts. Venture on to see What Is Up this week here in the Nation’s Capitol (and Baltimore):

What’s Up - DC Edition: 7/19 - 7/25
The live calendar this week is basically overflowing, and some of DC and Baltimore’s finest local talent are heading out to play. I’m looking forward to making it out to see Konono No. 1 and Eyedea and Abilities this week, and the Deer Tick show at the Ottobar is a chance for anybody who missed out on the tickets for their Rock N Roll Hotel gig to catch them. How will you be spending your time, folks?

What’s Up - DC Edition
Welcome to the return of the “What Is Up” post, something that I have not done for a while because of, well, a lack of time frankly. HOW EV ER, we should not dwell on the past. It’s back! Unfortunately, I could have picked a better week for the auspicious return of this list, as the show schedule is a little thin. The highlight seems to be local band Milk Machine’s opening slot at the Rock N Roll Hotel down on H street this Saturday. Remember, it’s only a 15 minute walk (or 7 minute run) from the nearest metro.
