Not Too Much, Not Too Little… Just Right
If you are a proponent of local DC music, chances are you’ve heard of Kodiak. These guys have been around the block and back again when it comes to playing the DC music circuit. Their non-traditional, blues-infused, rock music—combined with strong and sometimes over-the-top performance styles—has helped to distinguish them as a band with solid potential. Kodiak put on a crowd pleasing show at The Red and The Black on February 7, where it was clear by the audience reactions that if you didn’t come in to the club as a fan, you were one by the end of the set.

Q&A with Power Pirate
Power Pirate is an Electronic-Rock band from Washington, DC, formed by Michael Garate, Emily Pakulski, and Annika Monari. They’ve been making fun, pulsating, head-rocking music few can resist since 2007.
Dancing to Their Own Riddim
I hadn’t been to a show in a long time (DoS can be real back-breaker sometimes), so when I found out that local reggae bands were playing at the 9:30 club, I jumped at the chance. Now, as a large fan of ska, I was a little skeptical as to how the show would go, especially after walking into an almost empty room forty minutes after the show had started. There were, however, a few people at the bar upstairs, so that’s where I stayed hoping it wouldn’t be too long before the music started. As the first band got on stage, I noticed a couple people started to make their way closer. Still skeptical, I remained upstairs.
