Not too many local bands could do what you suggest. So we just get get gimmicky out-of-town Jewish stuff at the 6th & I synagogue and local clubs, and that Washington Social Club with Laura from Georgie James thing at the 930 (plus go-go and soca gigs that are billed as special but don't seem that different from the norm). Back in the '90s Iota used to have a one-night roots rockers back for the holiday thing (that often featured great moved to New Orleans horn player Derek Huston) that was alot of fun. In the early '80s the old 930 Club used to do special harDCore matinees around the New year.
