also tonight! The Saviours benefit for John Stabb! 08.10.07

Also tonight, Friday August 10th, Velvet Lounge is hosting a benefit show to raise funds for John Stabb, the former singer of one of my all time favorite DC bands, Government Issue. John was assaulted near his home in suburban DC in July and the benefit is to help pay for surgeries that his insurance company won't cover.

The Benefit show will feature: Dave Smalley (ex-Dag Nasty/Down By Law), Marc Ganancias , The Saviors, Pup Tent , Lorelei (Slumberland), Jerry Busher (of Fugazi / French Toast/ All Scars.

There is also an Ebay Auction currently in progress which features items donated to raise money for John's medical fund. Come out and show your support!

TONIGHT! The UNCOMFORTABLE PRICKS @ VL 06.08.07

Before I rest my head down for a wee nap, I just wanted to remind you last minute plan makers that while you're trying to combat the heat of the night air by sitting in an air conditioned movie theater or sitting in the damp basement of your group house, The UNCOMFORTABLE PRICKS will be drinkin' icy Shlitzs' and playing their cold, cold hearts out at the Velvet Lounge. Some cool is likely to rub off...

Tonight, Tonight, TONIGHT!!

also tonight! Costes & Kohoutek @ velvet lounge! 03.23.07

Clavius Productions proudly presents:
Costes (from France!)
Kohoutek (DC improv psych, Music Fellowship/Sockets)
Mr. Natural (Nashville improv noise)
Ca$h $lave Clique (DC improv, mem. of
Nimrod/36/Sikhara/Acid Mothers Temple/Steve Mackay &
the Radon Ensemble/Nik Turner)

" Legendary -- and legendarily offensive -- French performance artist Jean-Louis
Costes is in town with his new play/concept/freakout. Don't bother if you're
squeamish or easily offended, but if you have a sense of adventure, a warped sense of humor, and a love of the truly bizarre, this is a can't-miss event, especially since Costes hasn't played in DC in years. This is also Kohoutek's first show in town
since November." (S.Varrastro)

tomorrow night! STINKING LIZAVETA at the Velvet Lounge 03.06.07

ok kiddos and cadets, we've got another case of dueling events. This time, I find myself up against the deadly "Letha Weapon", so I'll tread lightly....

Philly's own Stinking Lizaveta will be spreading their perilous doom over DC on Tuesday night at the Velvet Lounge. Joining the mayhem will be Wooly Mammoth (mem. of Meatjack) and Eaters of Weed or Weed Eaters, I'm not sure which.

Not to be missed.
