Indierockandbritishrapapalooza is cancelled
The plan for tonight was for a crosstown music extravaganza.
Getting an early start (and possibly some Rocklands BBQ on the way), I would go see Ted Leo at Ft. Reno, enjoying the last rays of sun on a warm summer day.
Then, back in the car for the trip halfway across town (well, halfway across NW) for Dizzee Rascal and The Streets at the 9:30 Club. For those who don't know, both of these acts are British rappers, the latter of which recorded Original Pirate Material, the official summer album of a certain then-unemployed D.C. blogger (good stuff -- learned a whole new set of slang phrases as well).
But then the signs of trouble came. First, the plug on WHFS. Then the one-page color spread in Express. Finally, N.M. told me the show was sold out.
Dang.
Bollocks.
It looks like it's just Ted Leo tonight.
