I don’t know if SexyTime was trying to be creative by adding an offbeat kick drum to almost every track on there EP but it got annoying quick. It makes the songs sound like they were just thrown together. Maybe they rushed the EP so they could release it on 4/20 I don’t know, and for an EP to have Sexy Purple Bass Music in the title the tracks weren’t very bass driven. The EP was short as well, it was all of 19mins 33secs for six tracks.
The Strathmore is the appropriate venue to capture the ever so pervasive grand enchantment of Joshua Bell not L’Enfant Plaza metro (the acoustics are a lot better). Joshua Bell takes the leader’s chair in Academy of St. Martins in the Fields, a renowned ensemble of London’s leading musicians. Being Joshua Bell is one of the most extraordinary violinists of our time this event has the makings of a masterpiece.
A perfect evening a perfect setting and Video Games Live, now that’s a high score. Walking down the elevated pedestrian walkway I approached the entrance of the Strathmore. I was generously greeted by there top notch staff and was taken by the neatness and architecture that surrounded me. I was preparing to witness Video Games Live, a symphonic rendering of classic video game music, and boy was I in for a treat.
What did you do over the weekend? Play some pranks? Say goodbye to the last of the cherry blossom petals? Well I, along with a few hundred other lucky ducks, was treated to almost two hours of a living legend at the Strathmore in Bethesda. The fabulous outfits, those amazing hairstyles, and that unmistakable voice have ruled graciously for 50 years, and now I know exactly why. Patti LaBelle is magnificent on every level.
Ah, the 9:30 club. That good ole familiar hot spot nestled on the corner of V Street and Florida Avenue. A place where on any given night the line can stretch down the block and have SOLD OUT signs posted on every ticket window. There recently has been a slew of talented Dubstep artist making their way through the 9:30 club and tonight was no exception. Nero was about to blow the place up and everybody there knew it, you could tell by the anticipation in the atmosphere.
David Lee Roth is fronting Van Halen once more.
What do you get when you combine a powerhouse rock from the 1970’s and 1980’s with the hippest R&B sounds of the 1970’s and 1980’s. You got David Lee Roth leading his legendary band Van Halen and opening act Kool & the Gang at the Verizon Center last night. Check out the pics
