So just in case you’re at your computer…post-debate…wondering whether or not to show up fashionably late for tonight’s second French-American Jazz Quintet performance at Bohemian Caverns: don’t.

Though the DEJF schedule had announced shows at 9 and 11, in fact they went down at 8 and 10.  I showed up at 10:55 to find the bar dead and the band packing their bags.

So stay in, rest up, listen to something like this, and get ready for tomorrow’s lineup (highlights forthcoming).

I’ll be at the 9:30 Club checking out La Timbistica & Chopteeth.  Assuming all goes according to plan.

Chris Harris at MTV.com is reporting that Bad Brains will make their triumphant return to D.C., performing with their original lineup, at the 9:30 Club on election night 2008. Details have yet to be announced via IMP, but this is sure to be an incredible night. Build a Nation!

It will be the first time in years the band has performed in the nation’s capital, and it’s one of four shows Bad Brains has booked with its original lineup. The group performed in Chicago on Tuesday; they’ll play the 9:30 Club on Election Day, followed by a gig at New York’s Irving Plaza on November 6 and one in Austin, Texas, on November 9.
