Music On the Rise

Big night at The State Theater coming up on this Sunday October 7- a concert featuring local legends Billy Hancock (former Troub, Dave Chappell will be playing with him) Robert Gordon, Eddie Angel and more. The above link has the lowdown on the musicians.

Early on in the evening at 6 p.m., there will be a showing of the old Langley Punks films emceed by our own MARK NOONE.
(Look for him to be IN the films as well as talking about 'em)

Check out Music On the Rise to find out more.

This show promises to be a re-enactment of the dear ole 80s in DC- a pretty amazing time for the arts around here- brought to you by folks who are all about preserving our past. If you weren't there, come out and see what all the fuss was about- and if you were there, well, you know what they say about the sixties... Here's our chance to go back in time and refresh that brain page.

Troubadours- Get 'Em Where You can Find 'em

Troubadours fans are mostly music fans, and a surprising amount of music can be found in this town. The Troubadours do have a gig coming up in November, but in the meantime look here for updates/links on where band players may be found ...in public anyway. Jack O' Dell can be seen with Bill Kirchen, but you never know when he'll cross over to the Hula or Grandson side of town. Mark Noone is a staple of the Hula Monsters, but he also plays with other bands including, of course, The Slickee Boys. And Jake Flack has something up his sleeve. So watch this space- it won't always be empty!

Place A Hold On Summertime

Just because everyone went back to school, summer's not over yet. At least not in downtown increasingly hip Hyattsville, MD. The Summer Jam is coming up this Friday, September 7. It's a community event with beer and burgers in the parking lot of the Municipal building at 4310 Gallatin Street. The Hula Monsters will play from 6:30 until 8:30, and as if that isn't enough, rumor has it there will be a moon bounce as well.

And if enough is NEVER enough you can catch the Hulas in full dance mode when they share the bill with Karen Collins and the Back Roads Band at Chick Hall's Surf Club 4711 Kenilworth Avenue in, best left in a category by itself, beautiful Bladensburg, MD on September 8 this Saturday night.
