Sunday Buffet

Again...I'm fairly tired. Tired enough to skip Sunday Buffet...no.

Broken Records are a 7 Piece(wow) from Edinburgh Scotland who play European folk dipped in modern Scottish alternative. They had me at glockenspiel and accordian.

Cobra Collective is a group of four from DC. Like many a band nowadays they take on that new wave dance rock sound. Luckily for them that their DC rock roots overshadows that a bit to make a truly great music.

Hot Lava is a quartet from Virginia that remind me of Enon and Deerhoof but with loads of time working a computer desk job (like me). They play The Velvet Lounge on May 12th.
