recapping the dc champs despite not gaming the music in the background some people i thought really got that kicked off who in live shows brought home the big win for dc

 ex hex so immediately meeting laura harris who was with al both very sweet firm at times and slow to trust but they at one point here was a marker for me they played with the messthetics who were made up of some fugazi members and me thinking like the world of fugazi on many layers i actually saw ian mackaye twice in person even with his parents and the straight edge stuff but so i thought each instrument player was masterful the drums being powerful the both guitars being woven and even the lines and lyrics and around this time unfiltered was the boom of the interracial adult videos so um ex hex played i think all the clubs 930 i saw them and most of their shows seeemed to be selling out they were on a rock and roll hotel anniversary red t-shirt i bought um later there was a iteration with bat fangs so the bartender i met rolling out with great projects and another marker for me was the professional viral music videos (traded in the autographed vinyl i had from them to the switz mix record store in luray for store credit quickly) also each of the triplet was defined both guitars and drums having a soul and were nice to me while i was being serious about that length of involvement 

loud boyz so my childhood neighbor rory sheridan the story one night was my brother and some neighborhood kids were running over across the street to rory then when he'd come back they'd run to my parents house and close the garage door then one time he was about to cross the line michael tried opening the door and going inside my parents house and we were all crowded and in the process of opening a door it broke on william's head and it was the glass shattering but um i'd see him later with the like myspace being mind blowing another was the band rattler who i was blown away about it was a joke metal band um and this was when i was going through vcu but so this being i think they took a fall and beat a bond for me being the full body suit tatts he got and the playing the shows as a beaten challenge so leading up to there i remember telling like andrew r when we were at his parents in hollin hall about how i respected and liked his projects it was he started making indy movies and homemade reality skate videos later got a job with discovery channel um i'd see him before his shows and i got some of his merch some cool t-shirts one time i got one for my brother 

titus andronicus so they seemed to have the muscle or leg work to it basically (and maybe other dynamics on industry experts listening to mentors but it was the gay and jewish part with that neighborhood later me not realizing the navy and marines were nearby or the capital with the white house different big neighbors and their influences i just almost thought the whole world spun around me) they showed up while there was a heightened political time like food stamps or too the muslim war and were strong and bold um reminded me of someone from richmond james (navy vet and remembering his scar on his arm) and the first apartment um there music videos were good they did some sell outs to trying to remember two obama terms they had been during was maybe not racial stuff 

um any other names or big name regulars the screws at rock and roll hotel another bartender um camper van beethoven (who had missing teeth i think) um some people who just blipped up like gogol bordello or who was booked two or three months out
