Screen Vinyl Image – Night Trip video
DC music video of the day! Screen Vinyl Image make some interesting psychedelic & shoegaze music, and they are definitely worth seeing live. Lucky for you, the duo is headlining a show at the Velvet Lounge tonight. And luckier still, our friends at D.C. Music Download are sponsoring a 20s & 30s Local Music Meetup Group event at this very show! So go hear great music and make new friends at the same time. Here’s their video for Night Trip, from their 2011 album Strange Behavior.
The Mary Timony Band – Sharpshooter video
DC music video of the day! In celebration of International Women’s Day, today we’re featuring one of DC’s biggest rock legends, Mary Timony. Mary is best known today for playing in Carrie Brownstein’s supergroup Wild Flag, but she got her start in the all-female post-punk band Autoclave back in the early 90s, on Dischord Records. She moved to Boston and joined the band Helium, but moved back to DC (imagine that) in the mid 2000s. Her eponymous band put out a fantastic record, The Shapes We Make, in 2007 on the Kill Rock Stars label. Here’s the debut video for that release, Sharpshooter.
Shudder To Think – Hit Liquor video
DC music video of the day! Today we’ve got a 90s classic from Shudder To Think, one of the more interesting and challenging bands to come out of the post-hardcore scene. They released three albums on Dischord before going major with Epic Records in 1994. Here’s the video for Hit Liquor, the lead off track from their 1994 major label debut album Pony Express Record.
Wale feat. Lil Duval – Fairy Tales video
DC music video of the day! Current DC rap king Wale just released a music video for Fairy Tales featuring Lil Duval from last year’s mixtape The Eleven One Eleven Theory. Just what you need to help you get through a Tuesday.
Edie Sedgwick – Heat Wave video
DC music video of the day! You’d be forgiven for thinking Edie Sedgwick was a female singer, but actually it’s a band fronted by long time DC rocker Justin Moyer. Justin has been involved in a long list of great bands, from El Guapo to Supersystem to Antelope, and released a lot of records on the legendary DC label Dischord. Edie Sedgwick’s latest release is a “white label 12 inch”, the original track Heat Wave and 8 remixes by acts including locals Lenorable, Triobelisk (Shelby Cinca of Frodus and The Cassettes), Gold Corner (Mike Andre of Antelope), John Moon from The Cornel West Theory and Third Channel (Jason Hutto from The Aquarium). The whole package is availble at Dischord’s online store, and today we feature the newly released music video for Heat Wave. Enjoy!
Title Tracks – Piles of Paper video
DC music video of the day! There’s a very interesting show tonight at Joe’s Movement Emporium in Mt. Rainier, MD that I’m looking forward to checking out. John Davis, currently of Title Tracks, plays a set with Chris Richards, his former bandmate in Q And Not U. These two amazing musicians played together on stage at the Story/Stereo event in Bethesda a couple of years ago, and you do not want to miss a chance to see it again. Rounding out the intriguing bill at tonight’s show is experimental act Insect Factory and Brazilian revivalists Alma Tropicália. Today we’ve got another video by Title Tracks, Piles of Paper, from their 2010 album It Was Easy.
Thievery Corporation – Is it Over? video
DC music video of the day! Here’s the most recent video by ESL head honchos Thievery Corporation: Is It Over? featuring Shana Halligan, from their 2011 album Culture of Fear.
Empresarios – Bailando Bobby C Sound TV Remix video
DC music video of the day! The Bestia Remixed EP from Empresarios was just released in iTunes and Amazon digital stores, with remixes from J Boogie, Stereo 77 and Bobby C Sound. Check out the music video for the Bobby C Sound TV Remix of Bailando.
