My Time With The Junior League
Amidst the throng of bands fighting for recognition and success in the district, the Junior League Band has made a name for themselves by playing a unique mix of bluegrass and indie-pop. Led by the singer and banjo player, Lissy Rosemont, they have built a house in DC and a home in the tender hearts of their fans.

The Long and the Short of It
The path that Middle Distance Runner treads is an original one, although not completely unfamiliar. For example, their music can be similar to bands like The White Stripes, The Strokes, and Gym Class Heroes, however they have carved out their own niche sound and preserved their singular qualities. One of their particular strengths is the ability to pair the odd and absurd with the sweet and divine, resulting in a repertoire of songs we have come to know and love.

What’s in a Name?
One of DC’s own native sons, Jesse Tittsworth, returned to headline a stellar DJ line up at the 9:30 Club on December 19. The show also comes in support of his latest album, 12 Steps, which features all-star collaborations and the latest offerings from DJ Tittsworth. In short, the show was an all-ages dance party extravaganza and welcome home party for one of DC’s best and brightest DJs.

Dying to See the Vampires
Before Vampire Weekend even took the stage at the 9:30 Club, expectations were high—having sold out what was supposed to be their only show in DC, they added another night, which promptly sold out as well. These recent darlings of MTV frequently promoted and touted as the hot new band to watch… and no wonder why.
It’s Official
District of Sound.com introduced itself to the world on November 19th at DC9 with the help of a few friends, including Flo Anito, Temporary Basement, The Gypsy Sons, and The Fishermen. In keeping with DoS’s mission, all the bands were selected because they highlight some of the best local music the DC area has to offer. It was a great crowd with a little bit of something for everyone. The night rocked—literally. Expectations were definitely high for DoS’s inaugural event, and no one wanted to disappoint.
