So, it was quite the lineup: Washington Social Club played their last show in a very, very, VERY long time, Laura Burhenn of Georgie James was on hand for some piano tuner of heartbreak moments (including an amazing cover of “This Will be Our Year” by the Zombies),
The Dance Party did what they do best (read: fun) with lots of guitar shredding and Mick’s priceless ass wiggles.
Jukebox the Ghost was so good I CANNOT EVEN DEAL WITH IT STILL. Seriously.
Susan and Emily from Exit Clov and May and Nicole of Le Loup rounded out the most crushworthy group of local girl musicians and
Caverns were the in “house band” (I will say they were a little too “man-rock” for me but Jason was totally all about them so….)
+ Tom from These United States and the boys from Le Loup were on hand as well, on cellos, glockenschpiels and beyond.
It was all rather magical, from the Fake Yule Log fire, to the general feelings of camaraderie and fire hazardous backstage behavous to presents to Danny Elfman and Pixies covers and thankfully, Joel (kingpinphoto.com) was on hand to capture it all.

My only question is: what was up with the rapping Santa in the beginning?

oh and Shervin was there supposedly to take photos backstage but I think he got distracted by the abundance of nachos (the man is helpless when faced with Mexican food) as all he shot was this “ode to Kenny the hedghog and hot chocolate” photo of Grace and Cale

and this preparatory photo of me and Laura which the two of us would like to dedicate to the boys2men of DC Rock Club for the reasons of this post and this too and especially this video

Happy Holidays everyone!
