AltFreq Weekend Planner (4/16/15-4/18/15)

Written by Kevin Madert

It’s nearly impossible to keep track of all the events going on in the area, so we’re here to let you know what’s happening in live music over the next few days. Watch out on Sundays for our “Weekly Planner,” where we’ll cover the remaining four days of the week.


Thursday 4/16:     

DC

(SOLD OUT) Walk The Moon @ 930 Club – (Info)

Priests @ U Street Music Hall (EARLY SHOW) – (Tickets / Info)

(SOLD OUT) Matoma @ U Street Music Hall (LATE SHOW) – *Tickets from the original March 5 show will be honored* (Info)

DJ EZ @ Flash – (Tickets / Info)

(ALTFREQ PICK) Andrew Bayer @ Ultrabar – It’s a triumphant homecoming for this Anjunabeats regular. His most recent release, the short and sweet Do Androids Dream EP, dropped this Tuesday. He’s still riding the high of his gargantuan performance in the ASOT arena at Ultra Music Festival. And he’s still one of the more unique trance producers out there – one listen to If It Were You We’d Never Leave can confirm that. All this and more mean his set Thursday at Ultrabar should be quite special; don’t miss out. (Tickets / Info)

The Hackensaw Boys @ Gypsy Sally’s – *Rescheduled from 2/12* (Tickets / Info)

Love & Light @ Tally Ho (VA) – (Tickets / Info)

Baltimore

The New Deal @ Baltimore Soundstage – (Tickets / Info)

Cabinet @ The 8×10 – (Tickets / Info)

(ALTFREQ PICK) The Album Leaf @ Metro Gallery – Draw equally from the odd electronic ramblings of Aphex Twin and the sweeping post-rock soundscapes of Explosions In The Sky and you’ve got The Album Leaf. San Diego’s Jimmy LaValle is the man behind the moniker, and he’s been crafting his pseudo-ambient brand of music since the late 90s. Even though he rides solo, in a live performance he’s accompanied by a full band (in the vein of Tycho or Bonobo). The thought of LaValle’s emotive music reinterpreted instrumentally makes me even more sad I won’t be able to make it to the Metro Gallery this Thursday, so please: do it for me. (Tickets / Info)


Friday 4/17:     

DC

(SOLD OUT) Walk The Moon @ 930 Club – (Info)

Kitty, Daisy & Lewis @ U Street Music Hall (EARLY SHOW) – (Tickets / Info)

Covenant @ Empire (VA) – (Tickets / Info)

Baltimore

Charm City Devils @ Rams Head Live – (Tickets / Info)

(ALTFREQ PICK) Kill The Noise @ Baltimore Soundstage – Steez Promo has been relatively quiet of late – we’re guessing it has something to do with this – but the shows they have put together in the last month or so have all been quality. This Friday looks to be no different, as longtime bass baron Kill The Noise sets his sights on Baltimore Soundstage. It’s an intimate venue for a huge act, so make sure you grab tickets before they’re all gone.  (Tickets / Info)
