Sweetlife Festival this Sunday 5/1 at MPP

This Sunday things are gonna get epic up at the Merriweather Post Pavillion during the Sweetlife Festival with the Strokes and Crystal Castles and all that going on. Sharing the stage with them are some great locals, so get there early to check them out.

Like Modern Man, a DC based rock band that just got started last year and recently put out their debut EP (out in April according to their site.) Check out some of their fresh analog rock & roll anthems below.

And DC’s rockers U.S. Royalty will be joining them, a band that other bloggers have compared to the Strokes. If you missed our interview with them earlier in the year, you can check it out here. Recently, DC experimental duo Bluebrain remixed their track "Equestrian" from their debut album Mirrors that was released back in January. Check out the stellar result here.

Sweetgreen announced that the set times will be posted on their site on 4/28 so stay tuned for that. Maybe they’ll reveal the other local bands that apparently will be gigging in the VIP tent area, which is still top secret. (*Fort Knox Five just announced they’ll be doing a DJ set in the tent about 10 minutes ago!) Party.
