Well, with the Party Pit dead we needed to find another place to do this show, seems like Comet Ping Pong is that place..

On Friday September 5th, at 10PM:

RINGO DEATHSTARR
austin, tx shoegaze sweethearts
myspace.com/ringodeathstarr

if you missed these guys the last time they played dc, you missed out. loud as hell with pop-sensibilities. definitely take note if you’re a fan of the jesus and mary chain, my bloody valentine, and the like. these dudes and lady are some of the best at what they do.

“ringo deathstarr = psychocandy + loveless. and that’s a huge compliment. honestly, name another band that has lived up to either of those, well, genres really. nobody. ringo deathstarr pull it off. i’ve always said “do something familiar amazingly or do something totally new”. the deathstarr pull off the former without even the slightest hesitation.”
@ a certain romance

“their pulsing layers of feedback and those droll, deadpan vocals are ripped straight from psychocandy, but the galloping, amphetamine rhythms are harder charging than even the most amped up track on that album.”
@ pitchfork

THE FORDISTS
local post-punk dudes

if you’re into fugazi, nation of ulysses, moss icon, etc etc.. you’re going to be into these dudes. one of my favorite local bands, they rip.

GRAMMAR
(first show, members of cannot be stopped + WAR HUNGRY)

math rock insanity from our nation’s capital.

so.. come hang out for some BACK TO SCHOOL JAMS.

doors are at 9PM / show starts at 10. $7 bucks. / all ages / 21+ to drink ($2 PBRs) and they serve pizza til midnight.
