Offset’s stop at The Fillmore Silver Spring for his Set It Off Tour was a testament to his growth as an artist and his ability to shine on his own.

There’s a thing that happens when you’ve known someone so long. A sort of telepathy or a way of tuning into the same wavelength.

Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein, the duo who make up the core of Sleater-Kinney, have that connection. The band that started back in 1994 has created a body of work that continues to grow and evolve. Now 11 studio albums and 30 years into their creative partnership, Sleater-Kinney recently published one of their strongest albums, Little Rope, this past January.

Snapshots: Swirlies @ Songbyrd Music House — 3/8/24

The Swirlies debuted in the ’90s from Boston to some acclaim as an American band adopting the shoegaze sound that captivated indie rockers in the United Kingdom.

Now based in Malmö, Sweden, and Alexandria, Virginia, the Swirlies continue to perform self-proclaimed “sneakyflute” music, and in fact opened March with a trio of sold-out shows in Norfolk, Virginia, Washington DC, and Philadelphia!

The band’s recent DC show was at Songbyrd Music House, and Nalinee Darmrong was there to photograph the show.

Live Review: King’s X @ Tally Ho Theater – 3/9/24

0

When I started thinking about writing the review for the King’s X concert at Tally Ho Theater in Leesburg, Virginia, last weekend, I thought I had a pretty good theme in mind. I was going to write about the fact that when you see King’s X, you know what you’re going to get. They’re damn professionals, after all. They’ve been together since the early ’80s, for crying out loud!

But when I got there, I realized that wasn’t going to work at all.

Live Review: Grahame Lesh & Friends w/ The Mother Hips @ The Hamilton Live — 3/7/24

Bands grow together like families — when one member of the team is faced with hardship, the whole group suffers, and its fans do, too.

When Midnight North recently announced that vocalist and guitarist Elliot Peck, one of its co-founders alongside Grahame Lesh, was going to miss the current tour due to a medical emergency, it broke the heart of anyone who’s seen this San Francisco-based outfit come into its own over the past few years.
