If you're sitting at your desk thinking, "I'd really like to spend tonight watching a handful of the most talented people to ever produce music in D.C. or anywhere come together on one stage," then you're in luck. The 9:30 Club is hosting some of the most talented products of our fair city tonight.

Headlining the night is Dust Galaxy, the Theivery Corporation side project that's been making blog waves since the fall. Rob Garza takes the lead and brings some other influences into his standard electronic loungey sound. Ashish Vyas of the defunct San Diego band GoGoGo Airheart brings in a post-punk state of mind on bass. James Canty brings a gamut of rock goodness on lead guitar. Canty, of course, is no stranger to the D.C. and national music scene, as he was a big part of greats Nation of Ulysses and The Make Up. Canty is also part of another D.C. band, French Toast, who've donated Ben Gilligan to Dust Galaxy on "rhythm guitar." Yoko Kamitani of Aphrodezia lends some more ambient background to the mix with keyboards and effects. Oh, and there's this other guy — Jerry Busher on drums. We think he was in some other D.C. band at some point.

Pour all those influences in a blender and what do you get? A super group? A perfectly mixed bag? If it's what Garza intended, then yes. He told properly chilled:

People often think that I spend all my time submerged in electronic music, but in reality, people are very surprised to find me at home in dive bars listening to rock, soul and psychedelic music. What I love about some of my favorite records is the way they drift through musical temperaments. For me, great records are always about salvation, redemption, reflection, the dirt and the beauty, living through your own trials and experiences. This record taps into numerous different musical styles as well as cultural ideologies.

We can't speak of D.C. genre mashups and tonight's show without mentioning Georgie James. We've given the band plenty of virtual ink in the past, much to our readers' dismay and delight, but we stand by our recommendation. The union of chanteuse Laura Burhenn and Q and Not U's John Davis is still one of our favorites. And no amount of nasty commenting is going to change that. We still like 'em so much, we've invited them back for a second Unbuckled appearance -- this time from behind the DJ booth. (Shameless plug: Mark those calendars! One week and counting!)

The night is being hosted by local label Gypsy Eyes Records, who we've covered in the past. A lot of Gypsy Eyes' energy is being put toward Revival these days. Tonight's show serves as a launch for the band's album, Horses of War, which was recorded in Baltimore and "evokes England's psychedelic pioneers and DC's postpunk revolutionaries, building raging guitar saturated summits and quiet intimate ballads." Quoth the band's bio: "Revival makes a bar feel like a bonfire." Works for us.

But wait! There's more! The enigmatic Stewart Lupton is treating the crowd to a solo set, under the moniker of his band The Childballads. As the Washington Post puts it, "Lupton went a full 10 years between albums. That drought is finally over as the Child Ballads, his longtime on again/off again project, finally has a release to its name. OK, so it's just an EP and it's only available as an import." That ten year break before The Childballads was formed was preceded by Lupton's time as front man of Jonathan Fire*Eater, a band made up of St. Albans alum that were chased around with calls of "the next big thing," signed to a major label, then broke up in New York. Three members went on to form The Walkmen (with Hamilton Leithauser and Pete Bauer fresh off of a breakup from The Recoys). But Lupton's laid low. Hopefully tonight's performance marks the first of many. The Childeballad's sound is a far cry from the organ-heavy New York rock of JFE. It airs more on the folk side of rock, but we're willing to bet that some jangliness will remain.

Tickets are $12 and the show starts at 8:30 p.m. All four acts are going to be worth your time and money, so skip the pre-game at DC9 and arrive on time.
