True Womanhood @ Black Cat tonight

Local indie/experimental/rock group True Womanhood will be performing at Black Cat again!

Black Cat praises TW as "definitely different. Tons of drums, a few homemade instruments, and some well-placed pop hooks makes for an experimental, energetic, and very entertaining show. Who doesn't love a band that loves double kick drums AND crafts?"

Don't miss them and the Grooms tonight at 9pm!

True Womanhood @ GWU Alumni House

True Womanhood played with many other indie-hipster-punk-skinny jeans bands tonight at GWU's Alumni House. This was the first of this type show at the F Street club, which usually hosts formal dinner events.

Unfortunately TW was plagued with bad luck tonight, with Tom's glasses and keyboards breaking, and soon after an amp decided to die. They still remained in good spirits and I'm looking forward to their next show at the DNA Fest hosed by Velvet Lounge on the 24th.

True Womanhood @ Black Cat

True Womanhood opened up the back stage at Black Cat tonight. A new indie band called Pow Wow, lead by the multi-talented shoe-gazer Mary Timony, followed them.

I liked TW's experimental indie tunes, with one of their songs (wish I could remember its name) having Radiohead-like overtures. But the most enjoyable aspect was Melissa's thumping bass tunes.

I wasn't a fan of the people waving streamers in the front row the whole time. Its cool that TW has support from friends to come out and participate in the show, but it seemed gimmicky. And their music could stand on its own without gimmicks.

And also, if you do ever wave streamers in front of a band's show, please please please wave them in accordance with the current beat of the song. Its fairly annoying when TW was playing a mellow tune and the streamer people were going crazy with their sticks and ribbons.

True Womanhood at Black Cat this Saturday!

Looking forward to True Womanhood's experimental indie beats at their third performance at Black Cat this weekend!

I missed their last appearance, and was disappointed that I wasn't able to see Melissa's bass riffs in person.

True Womanhood at Black Cat

There's alot going on this week at Black Cat, but I'll probably will miss it all due to bronchitis. Immune system fail =(

True Womanhood is playing on Wednesday! Been meaning to check out bassist Melissa Beattie's beats live.

Friday the entertaining Jupiter One is attacking the Rock and Roll Hotel in DC. I feel bad missing the Rasputina show on Monday.
