The Virgin Mobile FreeFest is like that time you bought a Groupon for Virginia wine-country tasting. Your clique lacks cohesion because it consists of people that back-doored into the deal or have a tenuous connection to the driver. There's goat cheese, wine slushies, and Ben Folds Five.
When you finally get there, you might find that [...]
Totally called it: The Dismemberment Plan is playing this year's Virgin Mobile FreeFest on Oct. 6 at Merriweather Post Pavillion. Also on the two main stages' lineups: Jack White, Skrillex, Nas, M83, ZZ Top, Santigold, Alabama Shakes, Ben Folds Five, Allen Stone, Trampled by Turtles, Portugal. The Man, Das Racist, Future Islands, and I.M.P. fave Justin [...]
Cataract Camp’s debut album is some of the most hyperactive rock D.C. has heard in some time—sort of like Black Eyes taking on the skewed pop songs of The Dismemberment Plan at a college house party. But Sing Rain doesn't mark the revival of D.C. spazz rock but perhaps the last gasp of it. Cataract [...]
Remember that time Questlove became The Dismemberment Plan's biggest fan when the D.C. indie rockers played some songs on Late Night? At the time, the Roots drummer tweeted:
If we got dsmbrmtpln for The Roots Picnic would longtime fans support? These mofos are tight!!!!!
Turns out he wasn't fooling around. The lineup of The Roots' annual festival in [...]
It's probably a safe bet that you or someone you know went to see The Dismemberment Plan this weekend. At Saturday's show at the 9:30 Club, you could overhear plenty of conversations from fans who'd traveled from out of town to see the reunited band. It's unclear exactly how many fans made it on stage [...]
With contributions from Alex Baca, Matt Siblo.
- The Dismemberment Plan has good taste in openers. Best warm-up set has to go to Bluebrain, which despite a muddy audio mix was easily the biggest mindfuck: The duo had massive brass-horn edifices strapped to their backs, an actual brass section, video projections, and several of the band's [...]
The best of the entire weekend
The Dismemberment Plan, performing tonight at the Black Cat (sold out), and Saturday and Sunday (also sold out) at 9:30 Club.
I loathe to admit, but I've yet to earn my D-Plan stripes. It's not looking like this will be the weekend to do so either. In all matters Dismemberment Plan, [...]
In what won't be the last time we talk about D-Plan today, here they are last night on Jimmy Fallon, performing "The City" on air and "What Do You Want Me to Say?" for the Web. But wait? When Roots drummer and Fallon sidekick Questlove was geeking out about D-Plan yesterday on Twitter, he said [...]
Everyone have their tickets? The big weekend is nigh.
Back in the fall The Dismemberment Plan announced the opening acts for its three shows in Washington this weekend. And if you're wondering who will be warming Black Cat and 9:30 Club audiences ahead of the main sets, don't worry, Arts Desk has you covered.
Friday, Jan. 21, Black [...]
