Stabbing at 10th and Kenyon Linked to Arguing Girls

A 16-year-old girl was stabbed last night at 1024 Kenyon Street NW at about 11 p.m., WJLA reports, and the attack stemmed from a feud between two “girl gangs” who were upset about something one of them posted on a MySpace page, according to D.C. Council member Jim Graham. The victim, Graham says, is thankfully expected to recover. The incident is sure to prompt several infuriating “Are Your Children Safe on MySpace??!!!” stories on the…

The Wonderland Ballroom Finally Gets a Real Web Site

It’s taken roughly three years, but The Wonderland Ballroom finally has a real web site. Moving away from the drab, desolate wasteland of design faux pas and ’90s-esque, sparkling banners known as MySpace, The Wonderland Ballroom now has a much cleaner and simpler site for touting their food and beer. The site now includes their full menu, as well as a listing of their current selection of beers, a photo gallery – including snapshots from…

International Delete Your MySpace Account Day

WUSA has the story of Newport News, Va.-based reporter Simon Owens, who has started a movement to make today, January 30, International Delete Your MySpace Account Day. The idea, which appears to have gained quite a bit of traction all over the internet, was born out of frustration with the amount of spam Owens has been receiving thanks to his account on the popular social networking site. MySpace, despite its impressively ugly design and clunky…

Three Stars: Pash

The first, instantly noticeable aspect of Fredericksburg, VA’s Pash is the luminous voice of singer/guitarist Merideth Munoz. With a voice that partially recalls Rainer Maria’s Caithlin de Marrais and has a rock edge reminiscent of Pretty Girls Make Graves’ Andrea Zollo, Munoz has the vocal tenacity to halt anyone who may have stumbled across a track on their MySpace page. Munoz met guitarist Erik Bruner-Yang and his roommate, drummer John Bibb, when they all went…

Three Stars: Five Four

On Five Four’s website, by way of introduction, each member of the band is given a cartoon alter-ego. It’s a great rock ‘n’ roll tradition, the taking on of alternate identities within the band, from the identical surnames of the Ramones to the revolutionary identities assigned the locals in Nation of Ulysses. OK, so they’re not exactly the Gorillaz, and the cartoon identities don’t really extend past the little one off joke on the webpage,…

Weekly Music Agenda

MONDAY >> Those looking to kick the month off with a bang might be out of luck, as it looks like there’s not a whole lot going down tonight. Still, it’s not a total wash, as all the usual suspects — the Black Cat, DC9, the Velvet Lounge and the Rock and Roll Hotel — will have their bars open and waiting for the District’s disillusioned masses. >> DJ Jahsonic has a new Monday night…

Preview: Superdrag @ 9:30 Club

Remember “Who Sucked Out the Feeling”? The 1996 single, with a proper title of “Sucked Out,” propelled Knoxville, Tennessee’s Superdrag to a brief amount of alternative rock fame, back when it was still called alternative rock. The song, off their fantastic album Regretfully Yours, had a catchy British Invasion vibe, a yelled chorus with John Davis’s voice cracking as he got to the “feeling” part, and a Buzz Bin video on MTV with the mop-topped…

Three Stars: The Hot Magic

With jambalaya simmering in the corner, and people waiting in line to get a haircut, you wouldn’t have thought you were in a bar, let alone at a rock show. But last week, upstairs from haircut-and-a-shot night, The Red & The Black was in fact hosting a lineup of several very different styles of local music. Despite a modest midweek crowd — consisting mostly of other bands — one group from Baltimore introduced a unique…
