Tomorrow night we continue our local music showcase with the fourth installment of Unbuckled, this time featuring Middle Distance Runner, The Vita Ruins, and the DJs from Bluestate. We’re also going to have a spirited debate between mayoral contenders Adrian Fenty and Linda Cropp…oh, that’s right, the primary is over. Maybe Sommer and I will just scream at each other on pros and cons of inclusionary zoning and community policing strategies. The show will…

This evening at DC9, we’ll all be gathering together with Georgie James, Deleted Scenes, and the venerable DJs of Bluestate. Doors open at 9, speakers to begin dispensing rock shortly thereafter. Do drop in. Thanks, again, to Holly Tegeler for our Unbuckled design….

What are you doing next Thursday? With sweeps behind you and a long weekend in front of you, we can’t think of a single excuse to miss Unbuckled 3.0. Georgie James and Deleted Scenes are the featured bands for the third installment of our concert series. We’ll be joined as always by our favorite bluestate DJs, and show our reader appreciation in the form of door prizes. If history’s taught us anything, it’s that…

Remember how much better Zoolander was the third time you watched it? And remember how by the third time you got drunk, you totally had it down? The same rule of threes applies to DCist events. We’re very excited to announce the next installment of Unbuckled, our semi-annual concert series. We’ve done this thing pretty damn well twice before, but now we really think we’ve mastered it. On May 25th, join us at DC9…

Tomorrow night the curtain will rise on our second Unbuckled, a fantastic night of music at DC9 featuring The Hard Tomorrows, Olivia Mancini and the Housemates, and DJ Leafblower. We’ll be giving away tons of stuff, tossing back the beer, and generally enjoying some of the best bands that Washington has to offer. Today and tomorrow, we’ll be taking a quick look at the acts that will take the stage at our show, and we…

As you no doubt recall, DCist will be presenting Unbuckled in two weeks. Happily, you don’t have to wait that long to put on a hoodie with our snazzy Unbuckled logo. We’ve got the design up at our Spreadshirt store, configurable in hundreds of ways, including really small, really big, and on eye-splitting backgrounds like orange and pink. Or on collared shirts. Come to a DCist show with a DCist collared shirt with the…

And we planned to have…
