It’s finally here! In It Together Fest starts tomorrow, Thursday 7/31. The first night features some of my favorite bands in the city, all on one mindblowing bill. Acme‘s indie-psyche funk, Wanted Man‘s blazing blues-rock, and Paperhaus‘ oh-so-tight indie-rock join together for a night no one who loves local music should miss at Fort Loko. The show will be opened with a comedy show (cause, in this festival, musicians are in it together with all sorts of other creative people, see?), and Vundabar (from MA) brings some of my hometown (Boston) sound to the District.
After that, it’s like 3 more days of crazy. Look at that map! There’s shows everywhere. Which ones do you choose? Which ones do I choose?? How many can we pack in to our memory-holes? I’m getting a bit stressed. I’ll tell you one thing: I am going to know the bus routes in this city so well by the end of the weekend. At the very least, there’ll be a good show near you at some point. Stop by, make a small donation and support local music! –Natan Press
