This week, I saw two incredible shows: Preservation Hall Jazz Band at The Barns at Wolftrap and Gil Scott-Heron at 930 Club. The weird part of these shows is that I did not see any of you there (Note: HD was at PHJB and out of town for the second show). I think everything is [...]

Superstars make up this list of MIA In DC:

Spice Girls
Beastie Boys
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
After a hiatus, MIA In DC is back with some very sad news. Here’s who lacks the backbone to play in DC:
Thurston Moore, too cool for the District
Os Mutantes, too old to make it’s way over here
Matmos, too afraid to leaving NYC
Parts & Labor, none too impressed by their first gig here I guess
Smashing Pumpkins, [...]
No Del for DC. What’s he up to anyway?
And DC but not Pittsburgh misses out on Matmos. I almost headed to NYC earlier this year for a show but decided against it. Too bad they won’t be in Philly or NYC when I’m there this month.
Last, Albert Hammond Jr. of The Strokes is skipping town, [...]
The Knife is skipping our fair city, although there’s a solid chance I’ll be checking them out at CMJ Music Marathon.
And given how full of himself the lead singer is, maybe we should be thankful CYHSY is skipping DC.
And Daedelus is playing Europe, flying over the East Coast, and heading out West. Boo.
DC hatas called out:
DJ Shadow
Busdriver
Beck
Soulwax isn’t bothering to hit the West’s capital on their latest tour. Too bad for them. There is, however, a Soulwax event at Rock ‘n’ Roll Hotel tonight, though. These guys are the only ones who could ever rock the mashup, and they still do. Maybe they should stop, because they’re encouraging others to keep [...]

Pan Sonic
I have added a new category “MIA In DC” to tag all the posts highlighting how bands aren’t showing DC love. I had forgotten about this group until I came across a band I’d love to see isn’t coming to DC. You’ll have to wait until Tuesday to find out which band I’m talking about.
