Saturday night in DC was a great night of music and protest as Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave legend Tom Morello and his band, along with The Neighborhood Kids — and a special appearance by Max Weinberg from Bruce Springsteen and the East Street Band — played an enormous set at the historic Lincoln Theatre to a sold-out crowd. Morello and band played a fantastic gig of exceptional guitar-driven rock and roll and were very convincing in getting across messages of “anti-fascism,” “anti-Nazism,” and “anti-racism” to the highly enthusiastic crowd.

Someone once asked Colin Hay if he would say pursuing a career as a songwriter was worthwhile.

“Here’s a song that took me 40 minutes to write, and it’s sustained me for 40 years,” Colin told The Birchmere recently when closing the first of two sold-out performances. So, the answer is “yes.”

Colin then played a lovely stripped down version of “Down Under,” originally recorded with the band Men at Work, the outfit that catapulted him to fame.

Under the glow of the disco ball of the 9:30 Club and electric blue lights, The Aces returned to DC recently, transforming the storied venue into a sanctuary of queer joy and unfiltered guitar pop-rock adrenaline.

The Aces, a Utah-born band, played live on their Gold Star Baby Tour as they reaffirmed their place as one of indie-pop’s tightest live acts. They felt delightfully at home with a crowd that greeted them like beloved friends rather than visiting performers.

Last week at the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC, I caught an unforgettable show from Playboi Carti, supporting his newest album, I Am Music. Even before the opening beat dropped, the energy in the venue was unmatched, Carti’s fanbase was less crowd and more cult-like. What followed was a chaotic explosion of light, bass, and bodies.

Earlier this month, Los Angeles City Council officially declared Nov. 7 as Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark Day. Councilmember Monica Rodriguez introduced the resolution, and three members of the quartet attended the hearing at Los Angeles City Hall to receive the proclamation.

In delivering the proclamation, Councilmember Rodriguez cited OMD’s “poetic lyricism, emotional depth, and innovative use of synthesizer hooks in place of a vocal chorus” as hallmarks of the groundbreaking band’s music. And she said a few things about what it meant to her personally.

The Fillmore Silver Spring was already humming before Mammoth even stepped onstage. It was a chilly Tuesday night, but inside the venue, it felt electric. Fans packed tight against the barricade, a mix of longtime Wolfgang followers, younger rock fans and seasoned old timers drawn in by the sheer noise of it all.
