During springtime concert season in D.C., it can be hard to decide what shows to see. So, here are our reviews of sixteen acts that we saw at SXSW who are coming through town imminently.

The third all-female buzz band to play the Black Cat in the past month (with Vivian Girls still to come this week), Warpaint may lack the sheer power and pedigree of Wild Flag and the stylish retro charms of Dum Dum Girls. But on Saturday night, the L.A.-based quartet proved equally capable of enthralling a capacity crowd, delivering a confident 75-minute performance that put their artful, yet accessible post-punk sound on impressive display.

MONDAY

Where Is Home, the forthcoming second album by eclectic sonic experimentalists Janel and Anthony, is definitely something to look forward to in early 2011. In the meantime, head to Galaxy Hut tonight to watch the duo showcase their mesmeric improvisations on guitar and cello. Local folk-rockers Frau Eva open. $5. 9 p.m.
