Hey folks -

Both Fangs Out and Night and the City will be joining our sisters in sonic arms Hot Cha Cha on some live dates. Night and the City will be linking up with Hot Cha Cha this Friday in DC at the Velvet Lounge and then Saturday and The Southern Cafe and Music Hall in Charlottesville VA.

Then Fangs Out links up with them for a swing of southern dates in Charleston SC, Athens GA, and Atlanta GA.  Fangs Out also have a pair of shows bookending these dates starting with a gig this Saturday September 4th in Cleveland and then a raucous gig in Bowling Green on September 11th as part of the Black Swamp Arts Festival activities at Howards Club H.

See you on the road!

We often get asked about our DC - Ohio - Toledo connection. 

The Washington Post has recently put out an article looking at that connection from a different point of view.

An interesting article was written regarding Jeff Nelson - cofounder of Dischord Records.  As many of you know, Jeff resides in Toledo these days (home to our own Fangs Out).

He's assembling an interesting coffee table book.  Read about it here.

Tomorrow - Saturday August 14th has two incredible events for you to take part in . . . 

First up is the Girls Rock! DC Camper Showcase show.  

After the week of camp, the girls will showcase their new musical skills by presenting their original works at Washington’s 9:30 Club on Saturday, August 14th at 11:00 am. The showcase is open to the public.

Second up is SpillCycle: Bike for Awareness! Dance for Relief!
