Welcome the New Dynasty
Is it true that one has to be born into royalty to be considered an heir to the throne? The members of U.S. Royalty, who do not come with blue blood pedigrees, are quickly establishing a new rule that is spreading well beyond DC. The band offers listeners a wonderfully delicious blend of pulsating instrumentals, memorable harmonies and rich vocals reminiscent of songs from Passion Pit and Wolf Parade.

Q & A with Last Tide
Last Tide is already making waves in the DC area by integrating harmonies and bending tones with a tempered power reminiscent of music produced by My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth. Listen and you will hear their self-proclaimed shoegazing tendencies mixed with touches of punk and pop. It’s a great listen no matter what your musical leanings may be.

The Voice of DC
Inspired by the heart of Appalachia, Vox Pop has created an inviting songbook that showcases a blend of bluegrass, Americana, and pop music. Fueled by a mixture of true stories from their pasts and imagination, their songs lead you into a world inhabited by murderous killers and passionate lovers. In these stories, each song is constructed with varied layers of affection, drama and intrigue with their most intimate sentiments placed directly in front of you.

As unlikely as it might seem, Drop Electric has a special talent for making the old and traditional sound new and modern. Their fresh and inviting sound gives their music a sound all their own.

No Sugar Substitute
How I would like to see the world through the eyes of Olivia Mancini for just one day…to see, to hear, to touch and to taste a world where words are spoken with such sweetness and the intentions are always sincere. Olivia Mancini and the Mates offered listeners at The Black Cat a brief glimpse into their world when they performed on August 6, in support of their new CD, You Can See The Mountains From Here.
