We have a stellar line up for October and even more fun for November!  In October, we have Making Movies from Kansas City, Nayas, and Unity Reggae Band.  So it’ll be a good night of Latin rock, reggae, and good times on October 20th.  Our November BlueBeat show is a week earlier than normal – so it’s on November 10th, which also happens to be Duncan’s birthday.  For that we’ve got a very special guest from LA.  Queen P from Ocean 11 will be doing a set of really awesome tunes backed by the Shifters.  The Shifters will also be doing their own set and the show will close out with Hub City Stompers.  Anyway, enjoy your fall, we’ve got some good stuff lined up for the next few months.  As always, thanks for coming out to support us, the music, and the bands.

Thanks to everyone who came out to last week’s BlueBeat DC show.  It was great seeing some old faces as well as some new ones.  We had a really solid line up of some awesome bands -- Royal City Riot from Long Island and the Beatdown from Montreal were on tour together and came through BlueBeat DC.  We had our local favorites Eastern Standard Time round out the line up.

Here are some videos that I took with my iPhone at the show:

Anyway, be sure to catch our next show, May 19th featuring the Shifters, Nayas, and more!  If there’s a band you’d like to see at a future show, let us know -- bluebeatdc -- at -- gmail.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for everyone that came to our February and March shows.  Unfortunately the Chariots had an emergency and couldn’t play the show, but it turned out pretty awesome because Angelo Moore stopped by and jammed with Pablo’s Reggae Sweatshop All-Star Band.  Check out the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goW5OKxPQQQ

The St. Patty’s day show ruled as well.  The Shifters have an amazing new singer, so I highly recommend you checking them out when you get a chance.  The Thrilltones and On Display both had really great sets, too.

In April, we have an great show lined up.  Royal City Riot from NY and the Beatdown from Canada will be playing, along with our favorites Eastern Standard Time.  The show is April 21st so mark your calendars!

We have more great shows lined up in the spring and we’ll announce details soon.  If there’s ever a band you’d like to see play BlueBeat DC, let us know.  You can email us at bluebeatdc@gmail.com

Michelle and the rest of the BlueBeat Crew

Hope everyone’s keeping warm in this crazy, cold winter. If you’re ready to warm up, come out to BlueBeat this Thursday as our line up will definitely get you dancing! We’ve got three talented, female-front bands – the Scotch Bonnets, the Thrilltones, and the Midnight Soul Pushers. It’s also our first anniversary of doing shows here, so come out and celebrate with us!

It’s been a minute since our last update. Don’t forget tonight you should brave the cold and head on over to Solly’s for our holiday show featuring Eastern Standard Time, Murphy’s Kids (Richmond), and On Display (Philly). The King Cock Sound System will be spinning you the good stuff and Wayne Man will be MCing this joint.

Thanks to everyone who came out last night and danced their ass off to the Thrilltones and the Chariots. We have some awesome shows coming up, so check back on this site soon for all the details!
