Swedish psychedelic rock band Dungen have won quite a following since their 2001 self-titled debut album, and it’s easy to hear why in my opinion with the gripping guitar of Reine Fiske.
Reine, Gustav Ejstes, Johan Holmegard, and Mattias Gustavsson recently embarked on a different kind of project, creating their first-ever instrumental album, and Dungen have scheduled an accompanying tour that stops at DC9 on Friday, March 17.

I was out of town when Saint Motel played at the 9:30 Club in October 2016, but I returned to hear plenty of buzz — buzz for opening act Hippo Campus, that is!
The indie rock quartet from St. Paul, Minnesota, charmed a bunch of new admirers in that opening stint, and now they are circulating on a headlining tour that includes a stop at the Black Cat on Wednesday, March 29.

The inauguration of President Donald Trump begins today and concludes tomorrow. Not everyone is happy about that of course, and some of that unhappiness channels itself through protest concerts taking place over the next few days.
