In like a lion

No, I'm not talking about good pal SS's recent adventures in Charm City; I'm talking about the month of March and the art of independent music! A lot going on around these parts. So let's go:

Updates-
--The new Dalek and M83 records have come out and are not in my possession. If you are moved by the Lenten season or whatever, send them to me for free.
--Show #2 for A New Spelling of My Name, which features yours truly, seated and flailing:

Saturday, February 26
Wisconsin Ave. Baptist Church
3920 Alton Place NW
7pm
$5

Renee Heartfelt (x-Count Me Out, Striking Distance, Give Up the Ghost)
Paper doll (last show)
A New Spelling of My Name
Junius (rock from MA)

This is a benefit for the Renfrew Center Foundation for eating disorders.

--A month from today I'm doing a punk show at the Warehouse Next Door. Check it out:

Warehouse Next Door
1017 7th St. NW
8:30pm
$6

Riistetyt (from Finland, started in the early 80s, are old and play fast, pronounced REES-ti-toot)
Endless Nightmare (awesome hc/punk from Philly, first DC show)
Aghast (egregious flailing; and no, the guitar amp is not broken)
1 tba

Ok, moving on . . . the first two weeks of March are a doozy for shows in DC. Here's a rundown of the highlights:

March 1 - Ida and Rachel's at the Black Cat
March 3 - Circle Takes the Square and Rachel Jacobs at the Warehouse Next Door
March 4 - Del Cielo record release show with Haram and others at the Warehouse
March 5 - On Fire and others at the Warehouse
March 9 - Bellalea and Pash at the Black Cat
March 11 - The Evens, somewhere in Mt. Pleasant
March 12 - Panthers at the Warehouse

If that's not enough, April will include US visits from Mono, Melt Banana, and M83 - all playing DC within a week! And I'm not even going to get into all the good music that's supposed to come out in the first half of this year, mainly because I need to encourage myself to allocate scarce resources elsewhere.

If you have music tips that don't suck, you can post them in the comments section!
