Known by Washington, DC’s 9:30 Club show-goers far and wide, Josh Burdette, beloved manager and crew chief, has passed away. A fixture at the 9:30 since 1997, if you didn’t KNOW him know him you knew of him: his pierced face, quiet strength and wall-like stature keeping things flowing and orderly inside and outside of the V St. venue… Continue reading Rest easy, Josh Burdette

MNDR @ 9:30 Club
Ever since I read about – and got hooked on – electropop-IDM sensation MNDR (Amanda Warner) on Sheena Beaston’s blog, it seemed that well-earned hype has grown exponentially. MNDR is everywhere: magazines, radio, blogs, Facebook advertisements, Mark Ronson’s infectious “Bang Bang Bang,” and now on tour with Chromeo. Maybe it was all the hype or… Continue reading MNDR @ 9:30 Club
Kate Miller-Heidke @ 9:30 Club
I really didn’t want to enjoy Kate Miller-Heidke‘s 45-minute set last night in Washington, D.C. My other concert reviews on this site have been full of praise and I wanted to write a scathing review; certainly the Australian’s quirky pop, which I had only limited exposure to prior to the show, couldn’t win me over. I… Continue reading Kate Miller-Heidke @ 9:30 Club
Justin Jones @ 9:30 Club
My first impression of Justin Jones is that he – like this concert review – is the guy who shows up late to the party. Jones, a Virginia/D.C. singer-songwriter who is the first signed to 9:30 Records, a new label launched by 9:30 Club co-owner Seth Hurwitz, casually walked on stage to tune his guitar… Continue reading Justin Jones @ 9:30 Club
She & Him @ 9:30 Club
[Ed. Note: Tom is the newest contributor to Knox Road. He’ll be posting concert reviews and the like. He’s usually pretty cool.] To the typical outsider, actress Zooey Deschanel (“She”) is the main draw of the indie folk duo She & Him. At Wednesday night’s sold out concert at the legendary 9:30 Club in Washington,… Continue reading She & Him @ 9:30 Club
[MP3] No Second Troy: “This is the End of Me”
D.C. ghosts (nice ones!) of a long (but not forgotten!) past, No Second Troy, have finally returned with a new single, “This is the End of Me” off their new album, Colors due out April 27. They’re releasing it in conjunction with their upcoming show at the 9:30 Club next Friday, February 18, so I… Continue reading [MP3] No Second Troy: “This is the End of Me”
930 Club Hosts The Prodigy!
This Monday, May 18, the British Electropunk group that brought us such hits as “Breathe” and “Firestarter” is coming to the 930 club. We are talking about The Prodigy, and I am really excited to be attending this show. From what I have heard, all of the shows that The Prodigy have done in the… Continue reading 930 Club Hosts The Prodigy!
This Week in Concerts: Death Cab, Crystal Stilts, Beirut, etc.
Good news this week if you live in D.C., no need to travel outside the district for shows! That means no driving which means more drinking! Because what’s better than going to work hung-over Thursday morning with Crystal Stilts still ringing in your ears? Several things, actually. Several things. Wednesday: Death Cab For Cutie &… Continue reading This Week in Concerts: Death Cab, Crystal Stilts, Beirut, etc.
This Week in Concerts: Mates of State, Exit Clov, Ariel Pink, etc.
Yes yes, more shows, no time, no money. Here’s where you can find all sorts of hip kids jammin’ out this week in the D.C./Baltimore area. Tuesday: Edie Sedgwick D.C.’s own crazy weirdo Edie Sedgwick (who we first talked about way back when) is coming to Sonar in Baltimore to channel the spirit of the… Continue reading This Week in Concerts: Mates of State, Exit Clov, Ariel Pink, etc.
TV On The Radio announce North America tour dates
That’s right, cool guys TVotR are touring North America (basically the U.S., sorry Canada) off last years success Dear Science,. The tour includes a stop at the 9:30 Club here in D.C. on June 8 which will probably sell out like crazy. The band is selling presale tickets to “their fans” which you can grab… Continue reading TV On The Radio announce North America tour dates
