Next Saturday night July 27th the 9:30 Club, the area’s best concert venue, hosts a full-quality lineup of DC bands presented by the DC Party Action Committee Council. Headliners Black Clouds celebrate the vinyl release of their 2012 debut album Everything Is Not Going To Be OK, and I can’t wait to see their brand of dark and moody instrumental post-rock on such a big stage. Plus there is a dizzying lineup of opening acts: Punk rockers Highway Cross and True Head; twangy Typefighter; DC’s next big thing Shark Week; and the last hurrah for legendary thrash metal band Warchild. You’ll need a massive dose of B vitamins to handle all this DC power!
Because Hometown Sounds loves you so much, we want to put two lucky fans on the guest list for this amazing show. All you have to do is tell us your favorite DC band in the comments. We’ll pick the winner on Tuesday July 23rd, so don’t delay! And if you aren’t the lucky winner, buy tickets here!
Hometown Sounds 
Aww, there are too many newer ones. But D-Plan’s phone thing was so adorable I’ll go with that.
Black Fucking Clouds is amazing! and the bearded one himself Jimmy “fucking” Rhodes!!…honey I know that’s right!
The Nation of Ulysses, by far
but in terms of current DC bands, I’d say Black Clouds
Black Clouds
Black Clouds is my favorite DC band.
I forgot what life was like before them, and frankly, I don’t ever want to remember.

All of the bands playing this show are great, but I gotta say Priests have got to be my favorite DC band at the moment. They’re just so passionate about what they’re doing, and it’s very obvious. Also, it’s great they’re so open to playing DIY shows (Rocketship, St Stephens, Paperhaus, Casa Fiesta, etc).
Bad Brains. That new Black Clouds on vinyl is where it’s at!
Shark Week!! Or Priests. Both of them take the DC punk aesthetic to new and better heights. Shark Week is one of my favorite artists right now period. And its awesome that they are from DC!
Two Dragons and a Cheetah, but I’m biased. 😉
The contest has ended and Bobby Mozafari is our winner! Congratulations!!
