DCist usually laments the state of shows here in the nations capital. Often passed over for the bigger markets of Philadelphia or New York, the D.C. never seems to get a fair shake when it comes to the concerts that all the cool kids wanna go to. Its so unfair! We have some great musical venues; when are we going to get a steady influx of good live bands?
Well, it seems the times, they are a-changin. Looking over the event listings for the next couple of months, DCist was as excited as a schoolgirl on oxycontin. We wanted to pass the joy along to you, dear readers, so check out these upcoming shows and make sure to go to a few of them.
