That's what came to mind when I first saw Rustbuckit, who grace the stage this Saturday night at the Velvet Lounge. Rustbuckit includes Boyd Farrell and Mike Dolfi, formerly of Black Market Baby. While you might recognize some tunes from the DC history anthology, there's nothing stale here. As for Sister Ex and Puptent, if you've been saying you can't go to Maryland to see these folks get on the Green Line for this one. Both of these bands are pulling from a myriad of influences and trying out brilliant new songs to create unique sounds you aren't going to hear anywhere else. At the eastern edge of the U Street scene, the Velvet Lounge is an intimate venue where you can enjoy what the neighborhood has to offer, but not be right in the middle of the weekend deluge.
The NY band "The New Professionals" has been added to this bill.
