AltFreq Weekend Planner (11/13-11/15)
–Written by Kevin Madert
This is the first in a segment we hope to run weekly for the good people of the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area. 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 Sunday for our “Weekly Planner,” where we’ll cover the remaining four days of the week. S/o to friend of the blog Jared Oppenheim for the solid suggestion.
Thursday 11/13:
DC
(ALTFREQ PICK) Jah Works @ Gypsy Sally’s – Reggae is never a bad idea. Supporting local music is never a bad idea. Kill two birds with one stone at this Georgetown restaurant-music venue combo with longtime Baltimore roots group Jah Works. Youngins, be warned: this is a 21+ show. (Tickets / Info)
Stars @ 930 Club – (Tickets / Info)
Breathe Carolina @ The Fillmore Silver Spring – (Tickets)
Aaron Behrens & The Midnight Stroll @ Rock And Roll Hotel – (Tickets / Info)
Electric Youth @ Black Cat – (Tickets / Info)
Gems @ U Street Music Hall – (Tickets / Info)
Baltimore
(ALTFREQ PICK) Whitechapel @ Ottobar – Any show at the wonderfully tiny Ottobar is going to be a punky, sweaty, beautiful mess. A show here featuring a world-renowned deathcore band? Can’t be missed. (Tickets)
Uberjakd @ Mosaic – (Tickets)
Friday 11/14:
DC
(ALTFREQ PICK) Photographer @ Phonic DC – If you haven’t heard of Phonic, you’re slacking; this semi-weekly series of events is carving a spot as the premiere purveyor of trance in the District. They’re celebrating their one-year anniversary this Friday with Ukrainian uplifting favorite Photographer, and if you’re a steady-beat addict there’s no better place for you to be. (Tickets)
Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jr. @ 930 Club – (Tickets / Info)
Julian Jeweil @ U Street Music Hall – (Tickets / Info)
Cabinet @ Gypsy Sally’s – (Tickets / Info)
Baltimore
Jukebox The Ghost @ Ottobar – (Tickets)
Saturday 11/15:
DC
(ALTFREQ PICK) Blackout (Warehouse Rave) – What started off as a fun bit of viral marketing has become a massive yearly tradition. A raucous birthday celebration for B.A.D.A.S.S. Raves don Chad Bozzarelli and more than a thousand of his closest friends, this showcase of superb local talent is headed for yet another sellout. We highly recommend you grab tickets in advance, show up early, and stay out late. (Tickets / Info)
Salva @ U Street Music Hall – (Tickets / Info)
Soul Clap @ Flash – (Tickets / Info)
Cash Cash & Tritonal @ Echostage – (Tickets / Info)
John O’Callaghan @ Phonic DC – (Tickets)
Baltimore
(ALTFREQ PICK) Atmosphere @ Rams Head Live – Words fail to accurately express our excitement for the Baltimore, MD stop on the North Of Hell Tour. Fans of alternative hip-hop need no introduction to Sean Daley and Anthony Davis, the Minnesota twosome who record and perform under the Atmosphere moniker. Joining them are fellow Rhymesayers acts PROF and deM Atlas, for what will doubtless be a rollicking good time. (Tickets / Info)
The Werks & Zoogma @ Soundstage – (Tickets / Info)
Cabinet @ The 8×10 – (Tickets)
