Hometown Sounds

Sometimes the DIY/DIT shows in DC are public, open to all, listed on Showlist DC and suggested by Facebook’s events. And sometimes they’re not. Tonight lovers of DC’s synthpop and electronic boom can catch a stellar lineup including Outputmessage, Pleasure Curses, gypsy jazz singer and DC ex-pat Mary Alouette and newcomers Champagne Fever at a new location called Myster HQ. But only if you’ve already been invited, or know the right people to ask. Even if you aren’t in the know, or have other plans, Champagne Fever’s debut single “Cheerios” can help your Friday along. Doug Waters and Tyler Cole make up Champagne Fever and their EP FTLT isn’t out yet, but that didn’t stop them from enlisting Zambi to direct this video that is gorgeous, rocking and a touch silly. Get that chorus stuck in your head and download it for free on SoundCloud.
