Last spring, we interviewed New Rock Church of Fire for a Three Stars piece, and they revealed to us their deepest desire as a band: to play the Black Cat. Well, Santa apparently reads DCist, because tonight the Alexandria natives are getting their wish. Tonight they’ll play the Cat’s main stage with Velvet, Mas y Mas and Hammer No More The Fingers. Originally slated as a CD release show for NRCOF, it’ll be more of a… T-shirt release party. After a few attempts to record the album on their own, the guys have decided to hand it over to professionals in the near year.

“We like what we recorded, but due to lack of experience it wasn’t sounding just right. We decided to release a few songs ourselves and save a proper release for a much higher quality recording,” bassist Mitchell West said.

Now, back to that whole, Santa reads DCist thing. Given that wishes published on these pages seem to come true, we thought we’d ask the bands what else they’re hoping for. So, after the jump, we give to you, the Christmas Wish Lists of tonight’s Black Cat lineup (most of it, at least).
