Wednesday Is For (Pun) Lovers

Today's #WIFL selections feature a pair of post-genre bands with names that feature clever wordplay. First up we have Sad Baxter, the Nashville duo and Berklee alums who craft sardonically sludgy grunge pop. If "Shut Up and Kiss Me" and "Celebrity Skin" had a love-hate child who wandered the Appalachian Trail down to Tennessee, you might experience something not unlike their single "Baby". Their EP So Happy drops July 20 on Cold Lunch Recordings.

Next up we have DC's own Ménage À Garage, a punk pop trio crafting wordy, occasionally absurd, treatises on life in the nation's capital and across the universe. "Take It As It Comes", which not coincidentally was their Tiny Desk Contest entry this past year, is the leadoff single from their forthcoming EP More Human Than You. Jangly guitars and singsong vocals anoint this band as a spiritual successor of that Dischord post-punk sound, as well as the genre-defying rock of bands like the Weak…

Wednesday Is For (Local) Lovers - Friday Concert Previews

This Friday you have the opportunity to catch two of DC's most dynamic musical duos, on that rarest of nights where shows have minimal overlap. On the early side, we have Two Dragons and a Cheetah and allthebestkids at Red Panda House. You might recall our coverage of 2D+C's protest song just prior to the new year. Like a post-modern Local H, Maryjo Mattea and Joel Wu craft a sound that's inordinately loud for a duo, but manages to be toe-tappingly engaging at the same time. Mattea's vocals juxtaposes the operatic timbre of Pat Benatar with the dusky sensuality of The Divinyls' Christina Amphlett, while drummer Wu imparts a funky, hardcore sensibility to the duo's songs. The pair live in different cities, a la The Postal Service, so catching a live show in DC is a rare treat.

We Fought the Big One hosts its 14th anniversary concert at Marx Cafe later Friday evening. BLACKLODGE + em.g, the duo comprised of Paperhaus frontman Alex Tebeleff and Maggie Gilmore, con…
