6 pm - The Charm Offensive
@ TGI Friday’s, 21st and Eye St, NW (free)

Cow-punk popsters The Charm Offensive layer journalist Chris Lehmann's brooding lyrics over the twang and thrum of Geordie Grindle's lead guitar. Grindle was a member of the first Dischord Records band, Teen Idles, and of guitar wall-of-sound band Tone. Drummer and journalist Alex Daniels, a label-mate of Grindle's on Dischord (Severin), also plays in the band Julie Ocean. Meg Guroff, another journalist, played bass in Church & State (Baltimore).

10 pm - Stone Lucy
@ Bertucci’s Restaurant, 21st and Eye St, NW
($10 or free with a film festival ticket)


Propelled by Adam Parker's immensely-likable vocals, Stone Lucy chases a sister muse of Tool and Soundgarden, with a youthful verve and a proggish swagger. Stone Lucy opts for dynamically arranged and challenging song structure with adventurous twists and turns. With no exceptions, Stone Lucy is topically heavy, threads of a tragic tapestry wrenched from some hinted-at personal catastrophe and woven into a sonic assault. Be ready to get emotionally engaged while they rock you off your chair.
