First up, Three Stars alums The Caribbean are at the Black Cat’s backstage, along with DCist Unbuckled alums Olivia Mancini and The Housemates. Headlining the bill are the increasingly interesting Impossible Hair, a D.C./Baltimore group we dug when they played the Red and The Black last summer, and who are celebrating the release of their new record, What is the Secret of Impossible Hair. Find out at 9 p.m. Tickets only $8.
JAZZ: Three Stars alums The Oscillators, led by drummer/composer Charles Ostle, performs on Thursday night at Twins Jazz. The band includes Three Stars alums John Lee and Matt Rippetoe. 8 p.m. Call 202-432-0072 for cover information.
