Check out DC resident DJ, Gavin Holland’s rework of the Travis Morrison Hellfighters (lead singer from the Dismemberment Plan) track “Moneytown”. The song has very David Byrne-esque feel to it. Pretty funky. Enjoy…

Our blogger friends over at ATG have organized a a KILLER show at U Street Music Hall tonight (RSVP and get more info HERE) featuring Summer Camp, Gigamesh, and Ghost Beach. This video has been floating around for a while now, but it is so infectious I had to share. This track is a hit, and you can be sure their album, “Welcome to Condale” (buy it HERE) is chock full of equally delicious tracks. Enjoy, and see you tonight!
A little love for our DC blog broz over at All Things Go. ATG recently launched a record label titled appropriately, ATG Records. Running a label is a tough business, and I give these guys a nod for bringing another label to DC. The Mausi single “sol.” is breezy and cathcy as hell. Grab the 7″ on February 20th, with “sol.” as the A-Side and a Lightwaves remix as the B-Side. Pre-order here.

Sad news. Newdust bros and local DC rockers Loose Lips are throwing in the towel. They will be playing a farewell show (RSVP here) at the Black Cat DC on January 27 with Lightfoot, Paperhaus, and Ugly Purple Sweater. Be there to wish these dudes luck on their various new projects. In the mean time, listen to some of my favorites from the band, including a Brothertiger remix of “Happily Doomed”. I will miss this band and their Interpol-esque indie chops. Godspeed dudes.

New track from DC mainstays, Imperial China. The song is a self described powder keg that rips you through two minutes fifty of post-punk bliss. The band sounds huge, with harmonic guitars amplifying the growling utterances of vocalist Brian Porter. The boys have a new album,”How We Connect”, out on January 28 through DC’s own Sockets Records. And if that isn’t enough homegrown goodness, Imperial China is playing with a few other bands from Sockets at the Black Cat DC on that same day, Saturday January 28. Be there kiddos, and enjoy!

Some DC on DC love today. Enjoy the Chris Burns dub of The Dance Party’s catchy joint, “Sing a Song”. Who doesn’t love a little Memorial Day beach-vibe on Christmas? Just let the grey skies and brisk cold melt away… Happy Friday dudes!

Check out this preview of DC native Aaron Thompson’s new EP “Vessel” (pre-order here), to be released on December 13th 2011. This sort of music is not usually in my wheel-house but I am loving the ambitious song writing and production level. I cannot wait to here more…
