–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 4/9:
DC
(SOLD OUT) GRiZ @ 930 Club – (Info)
Citizen Cope @ Lincoln Theatre – *Solo acoustic show* (Tickets / Info)
Alex Winston @ U Street Music Hall – (Tickets / Info)
Marcus Intalex @ Flash – (Tickets / Info)
(ALTFREQ PICK) Tchami @ Ultrabar – Around the time “future house” began entering many musical lexicons I had a chance to catch Tchami at Tomorrowworld. The juxtaposition between his massive tunes and subdued stage presence was endearing, and the grooves he laid down had my feet aching by the time his set was done. An engagement this Thursday at Ultrabar will pack all that madness into a very small room. Don’t miss this one. (Tickets / Info)

(ALTFREQ PICK) Element Pres. Chemistry w/2Rip @ Malmaison – For most of our readers introducing 2Rip is an exercise in redundancy. They already know he’s been a staple of the DMV nightlife scene for more than a decade, both behind the decks as a performer and behind a desk curating and putting on countless shows and festivals as the head of BADASS Raves. Friday at Malmaison in DC he’ll be performing a very special all-trance set, throwing back to his roots in the genre. You’ll always have another chance to see 2Rip, but it’s hard to say when (if ever) you’ll be able to see such a unique set again. (Tickets / Info)
