Not too many swell shows around town but there is the Datafrogs CD release show at Fletcher's. Other than that DC seems to be where it's at for a few events. The first is another night of craziness with Gogol Bordello at the 9:30 Club . Other than that it seems like a good night to check out AutoRock's DJ set over at the Rock and Roll Hotel . Enjoy!mp3: Gogol Bordello - Start Wearing Purple

I had great directions from my regular DC traveler Debbie (Chase's mom) & too

The right half of my face is covered in sweat...someone else's sweat. I can barely move, bruises are already starting to form all over my body and I doubt that I'll ever be able to hear anything again. But I don't care.You see, I've just spent the past three hours in the front row of a Gogol Bordello gig and no amount of pain can detract from the sheer euphoria that such an energetic performanc...

Sure it may seem like MOG is different now from when we first joined, sure there are a lot of people no longer here we wish still were, and I'm sure we all feel like we don't comment and post enough, but remember- There were never any good old days, they are today, they are tomorrow, it's a stupid thing we do, cursing tomorrow with sorrow...

Then there's the stage performance, and that's where the holy shit comes in.There are ...
