There's a big pay-off in being able to do something large scale ambitious in your life, something that occupies your time, attention, and desire, and then to see how it engages strangers and makes them part of your life. No one in his or her right mind would choose to do this as an outlet from the pressures of the rest of the world, because if you really really care about art and get some sense of self-worth from what you put out there, you can never relax. If we didn't believe The Caribbean compensated for the absence of something in the world, we wouldn't bother.


10 pm - Late Session - two bands
($10 or free with a DCIFF Film Ticket)
@ Bertucci’s Restaurant
21st and Eye St, NW

The music of The Walkaways can best be described as candy in a whiskey bottle -- tasteful hooks infused with a mix of alt-country, blues, and roots rock-n-roll. Ready and willing to take on the Washington, DC music scene and coming soon to a bar near you.

11pm - OmegaBand
The word rock had a long history within the English language as being a metaphor meaning 'to shake up, to disturb or to incite'. The word roll was also a popular metaphor which meant having sex as in 'roll in the hay' and so on. Though the variety of influences is infinite, the realm of OmegaBand is within the context of this definition. OmegaBand features Alpha Betts on lyrics and microphones, Kirk Waldroff on bass and Bala Harper on drums, Kristin Arant on percussion and background vocals, and James Reeves on guitar.
