TUESDAY
>> Missouri-by-way-of-Brooklyn group White Rabbits made a little publicized stop through the District last month as openers for Spoon’s set at George Washington University (Britt Daniel produced their second record, the strong, melodic It’s Frightening). They’re back this time to headline the Rock and Roll Hotel, bringing fellow Brooklynites The Subjects along in support. Doors at 8 p.m. $12/14.

>> Keith Emerson is ill and had to cancel his Birchmere show. I can’t imagine this affects a great deal of DCist readership, but I could be pleasantly surprised. We wish him a speedy recovery.
