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!

Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate DCSka.com turning 10!! It was a little crazy that we sold out so soon, but hopefully many of you eventually made your way up for the show. It was also awesome seeing so many faces from long ago and catching up with everyone. The best part was seeing people showing up in DC Ska and Rude in DC workshirts.

Come out to BlueBeat DC tonite!! We’re celebrating DCSka.com’s 10th Anniversary with a brand new DC band – the Shifters, DC ska-jazz veterans – Eastern Standard Time, and special guests!
Also, check out the brand new DCSka.com!!
See ya tonite! BTW, we’re giving away special pin sets to people who come out tonight.

Thanks for coming out to our last show! Hope you all had a great time. Next month, we’ve got two killer shows that you need to check out.
Sunday 7/11 – the Thrilltones (DC’s newest ska band), the Bandulus (Austin), and the Scotch Bonnets.
Thursday 7/15 – the Hits, the Void Union, Chris Murray, Vic Ruggiero, and the Forthrights!
Two very awesome line ups, if we do say so ourselves. Get ready to have a really awesome time!
–Michelle y Duncan
P.S. Stay tuned for a new web site.
HOLY COW! In under 24 hours we’ve had some crazy line up additions and changes to our upcoming July shows!
July 11th – Our special BlueBeat DC show… Unfortunately the Hub City Stompers aren’t playing any more, but the Bandulus from Austin are still playing. In addition, DC’s newest ska band the Thrilltones will be debuting!
July 15th - Our regular BlueBeat DC show… The Stress broke up and had to cancel their tour, which totally saddens us. The Hits from TN are still play and so is the Void Union. And we’ve now added a special treat – Chris Murray and Vic Ruggiero (the Slackers, but do we really need to tell you that) as backed by the Forthrights!
July is a busy month and get stoked for it by coming out next week to our June show (6/17) featuring Silver Dollar, Free Lobster Buffet, and the Sessions Reggae Band. If you’re in a ska/reggae/rocksteady band (or any variation of the sort) and want to play a BlueBeat DC show, get in touch with us!
See ya next week,
Michelle & Duncan
Thanks for coming out the other night! It was probably one of the most successful BlueBeat DC shows and we hope you all had a great time. With that said, we’ve just finished up booking bands for most of our summer shows! For June we have Silver Dollar from NJ, Free Lobster Buffet, and the Sessions Reggae Band. Also, we’ve booked a special July show with the Hub City Stompers (NJ) and the Bandulus (Austin, TX)! Check out the shows page for complete details.

Hey all!
This Thursday we have another show at Solly’s. We had a slight line up change, but the show will still be a good one. The Chariots will now be playing with Murphy’s Kids and the Scotch Bonnets. Murphy’s Kids is a ska/rock band out of Richmond and the Scotch Bonnets are a female-fronted reggae act out of Baltimore. The Chariots are a fun reggae/ska outfit from DC. The King Cock Sound System will be spinning tunes before, during, and after the show.
Hope to see you there!
Michelle y Duncan
