Chain and the Gang at Comet Ping Pong
Chain and the Gang played a release show for the Semaphore version of their new album Minumum Rock 'n' Roll at Comet Ping Pong. Here is my remix.

Audacity at Comet Ping Pong
See, here's the thing. This particular show was on 4/20 and so were the bands. Audacity definitely rocked, but I think were a wee bit more mellow on stage than usual aside from the drummer who tried to murder his snare drum at the end. I get the feeling he was on a slightly different kick. Don't worry dude, your instruments are not conspiring against you.

Acid Mothers Temple at DC9
Not to be confused with Motley Crue, Acid Mothers Temple are one incarnation of a collective of some sort which play under ten different band names and released 40+ albums in 20 years and honestly I can't even figure it out. They play heavy psych, very heavy psych, the kind which should come with a therapeutic index printed on each album. "If your mind is blown for more than four hours for fuck's sake press pause." That sort of thing. Very cool.

Post Teens at St. Stephen Church
As you may have noticed the bands I've chosen to put on this page from the Damaged City Fest are not your average hardcore bands. With that sound and those stage antics Post Teens could pass for a garage rock band, and a good one too. Hey Post Teens, please move to DC and be the new Points.

Draize at St. Stephen Church
For a minute there I thought a metal band had snuck onto the bill. Sure, Draize are hardcore too. It's more obvious on some songs than others. But at times their guitars are so heavy, the screaming so guttural, that they sounded more like a doom metal band. So there we go, some variety! That plus a lead singer who can fly led to a mighty entertaining set.
