AltFreq Weekly Planner (4/5/15-4/8/15)

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 Thursdays for the “Weekend Planner” where we’ll cover the most important 72 hours of the week.


Sunday 4/5

DC

Benjamin Booker @ 930 Club – (Tickets / Info)

Moving Castle Showcase @ U Street Music Hall – (Tickets / Info)

Mint Condition @ Echostage – *21+ show* (Tickets / Info)

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

Baltimore

Curren$y @ Baltimore Soundstage – (Tickets / Info)

(ALTFREQ PICK) Sage Francis @ Metro Gallery – Rhymesayers regular and spoken-word poet Sage Francis is a frank wordsmith whose steel-tipped tongue is near unrivaled. His most recent album, Copper Gone, is just one in a long string of quality releases from the Rhode Island native who defines the phrase “conscious hip-hop.” Expect a night packed with heavy beats and thought-provoking rhymes that may well have you raising the roof with one hand and reaching for your pocket thesaurus with the other. (Tickets / Info)

Monday 4/6

DC

Gregory Alan Isakov @ 930 Club – (Tickets / Info)

Rumer @ Jammin’ Java (VA) – (Tickets / Info)

Baltimore

(ALTFREQ PICK) The Devil Wears Prada @ Baltimore Soundstage If you’re a fan of the genre and you haven’t yet seen TDWP, you should be here. If you’re a fan of the genre and you’ve seen TDWP twenty times, you should still be here. If you’re a grandma or an infant or even a common house cat, you should be here. These guys rock harder than a gaggle of geologists on a life raft in a wave pool (that’s called layered comedy kids, don’t be igneous, er, ignorant to it) and it’d be a travesty for any of the aforementioned groups to miss out. (Tickets / Info)
