Let’s face it. On Monday night, if you walked away from the 9:30 Club disappointed, you’re a heartless bastard. At the very least, you learned a little something about one of DC’s best music venues, with a cavalcade of talents sharing memories all night. But really, you should have savored the 13 acts celebrating the 30th anniversary of a club built on bleeding fingers, beating hearts and aching muscles. And while the self-proclaimed old timers out front weren’t thrilled that, after all these years it had come to standing in line for tickets after a fruitless lottery, they were still willing to wait because, hell, they built this house too.
But we’ve got about five and a half hours in the club to get through. And from Tiny Desk Unit to Trouble Funk, there wasn’t a weak act in the bunch, so I’ll make it snappy with some favorites.
