Northern State
Bitch & the Exciting Conclusion
Natalie E Illum
Black Cat
Hey, I finally made it to one of Natalie's performances! Cool! Anyway, Natalie opened the show with her poetry for a pretty large crowd on a Monday night in smokeless DC. [the Black Cat is weird without all the smokers. Ms A said it seemed like people were just waiting around for something to happen]
Up second was Bitch & the Exciting Conclusion. Not really my thing but very enjoyable

Oh and she plays the electric fiddle. The (female) drummer was pretty awesome too. Some of the ladies standing behind us were yelling that the drummer should 'play naked!' [note to self: use similar heckling in future]
Last, a too-short set by female hip-hop crew Northern State. When they mentioned that they used to be on Columbia Records, I remembered that it was a free cd I got with a Coheed purchase that had introduced me to NS. In addition to being discovered by DJ Adrock, they are like a female version of the Beastie Boys. Very fun show but it was too short and I hope to check them out again in the future.
