About us
About the group
This Meetup group is for indie and local music fans to see some great shows, meet some new people, and support independent/small label and local bands in the process.
We attend shows in the DC/MD/VA area with a focus on smaller concert venues such as the 9:30 Club, Black Cat, Union Stage, DC9, Songbyrd, Jammin' Java, etc.
Suggest venues, shows, and bands!
Please suggest new venues, shows, and bands! Any genre! This group is active and you should be able to find someone else interested in seeing the show you want to go to (and not have to drag your friends who are not so interested in that band or music in general).
How our events work
All of our events have an Event Host who will send a message to all RSVPs with a general plan for a time and specific location to meet up. With some events, the plan may be to just to meet up inside the venue. If you would like to volunteer to host an event, send Melissa a message for details.
Questions?
New to Meetup or new to the group? Feel free to send a message to our organizers! You can also post questions/comments about specific shows on the event page for that show.
Hope to meet up with you soon!

💥Bikini Kill💥
The Fillmore Silver Spring, 8656 Colesville Road, Silver Spring, MD, USMothers of the Riot Grrrl movement, Bikini Kill burst onto the PNW alt scene in 1991, at the same time as bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Known for high energy, in your face performances, the band became an integral part of DC’s 90’s punk scene often working with members of Fugazi. The Singles is a compilation (9 songs in 17 minutes!) of songs from that era.
Rebel Girl - live on Colbert
The Fillmore is a medium sized venue (a bit larger than the 930) in downtown Silver Spring. It’s a 10 minute walk from the SS metro station and there are several nearby parking garages.

Sugar
The Anthem, 901 Wharf St NW, Washington, DC, USAfter the week of dealing with frigid weather, ice, and the never ending onslaught of terrible news, I was scrolling my email, hoping for a little diversion. There it was, the one little word that brought a smile to my face, SUGAR. Fronted by long time DC resident and queer icon, Bob Mould, Sugar exploded on the alt rock scene with 1992’s Copper Blue. Side A featured a trio of pop punk perfection with Good Idea/Changes/Helpless. After the release of their second album, File Under Easy Listening, and tour, the band went separate ways. Thirty years later, Bob has teamed back up with bassist David Barbe and drummer Malcolm Travis for a second round of pop punk sweetness.
