Tuesday September 18
Akron/Family


"Despite its scant 35-minute duration, Meek Warrior distills the entire history of experimental pop. Just as impressively, it finally bottles the frantic eclecticism and The Gods Must Be Crazy absurdity of the Family’s live show."


Wednesday September 19
Heavy Trash ft. Jon Spencer(Blues Explosion)


"On stage and in the studio, Jon Spencer, has destroyed and rebuilt American roots music with such ferocity and wild abandon it is hard to believe that there is anything left. The trail of musical destruction in the wake of his groovy hate-fuck combo Pussy Galore still smolders with the stench of avant punk trash and nasty garage ooze and grind, while his towering work with the Jon Spencer Blues explosion remains an indelible totem to his enormous mojo spirit and red-hot power of deliverance."



Thursday September 20 @ DC9 Nightclub
Circle
"Finland's Circle are one of the leading psych-rock bands playing today, releasing records and touring for over a decade now. Founding member Jussi Lehtisalo handles the majority of vocal duties with a gruff, low-end growl. The music is heavy and atmospheric with repetitive riffs and haunted keyboards which create a twisted, spooky mood. Influenced by equal parts 60s psychedelia and venom, Katapult is perhaps the most diverse, groundbreaking, dark, and primitive Circle album yet"
DC9 - 1940 9TH ST NW
21+ - 9PM



Thursday September 20
Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals

"Rather than going over board with effects, Rhys has boiled down his band’s signature weirdness into a light and airy ’ 60's psychedelic folk pop album that never misses a beat"
wsg: All Smiles


Friday September 21
The Aliens (3/4 of The Beta Band)


"As with the Beta Band, exploratory self-indulgence is rather the point of the Aliens, but here it's firmly anchored by fantastic songs."
wsg: Augie March


Saturday September 22
John Vanderslice


"Both on a song-for-song basis and as singular cohesive work, Emerald City demonstrates Vanderslice's masterful control of craft at every structural level and his unrivaled ability to make the political personal."
wsg: Bishop Allen
