I have not heard the new Murs and 9th Wonder album, but I am excited. Too bad the pleasure of listening won’t be met by the pleasure of seeing, since Murs and 9th Wonder will not be stopping in on DC–despite traveling throughout the area. I think this is less of a 930 Club problem and more of a lack of good hip hop facilities. DC9 has sort of been more pro-hip hop lately but that’s not much.

Jackie-O Motherfucker is one more band not making the DC rounds, despite playing Philadelphia in late March.

In a previous post, I mentioned how I thought there was a trend of bands skipping DC on their tour routes.

The latest MIAer is Scout Niblett. I saw her at a packed Black Cat show and again at a much less packed Black Cat Backstage show. Both shows rocked and both had respectable turnouts. To be fair, this tour is to support her latest album (Kidnapped By Neptune), which was the album that she was supporting for the Black Cat Backstage show. Still.
