In support of DC’s Sweet Tea Pumpkin Pie festival, the Black Cat will feature benefit shows on the first Friday of June, July, and August with bands that will be performing at the fest as well. This Friday June 1, check out these acts:
DC’s Surgery Dot Com are self-described pioneers of “experimental dork punk” who’ve got an EP Live Surgery available now that was recorded live at DC9 in February.
RVA’s Kid Is Qual consists of two bassists and a drummer who recently released their gritty rock EP Ladies Choice, and were selected to Alternative Press’s "Top 100 bands you need to know in 2012."
Charlottesville VA’s rockers Corsair (pic above by Brad Day), featuring members from the Black Sabbath tribute band Mass Sabbath, joins the bill as well who will showcase rock anthems featured on their debut S/T LP that came out late April.
And Arlington VA’s alt rock band Koshari will start off the gig with tracks from their extensive discography that’s been growing since 2001, including their latest LP Light in Dark Places.
Black Cat, Friday 6/1 Doors @9 PM $10.
