Tom McBride and the Whig Party
Hypernova
DC9
The fourth in our Thursday night concert series brings us Tehrani indie rockers Hypernova and a couple DC locals.
Hypernova sound (to me) like The Killers and were dressed in super-tight clothes for that indie rock hipster look. Obviously they fit right in around here. Anyway, they're on their way to SXSW where I'm sure they'll do very well. I have to say that they were the most polished band I've seen in quite some time and they had a really solid set, which I think covered every song on their cd. And the drummer kinda looks like Andrew W.K. (even dressed in white jeans and a white t-shirt).
We decided to stick around for locals blues rockers Tom McBride and the Whig Party, even though most of the people left in the club were those career military types and I couldn't stand to look at Tom McBride himself because he was way too conventionally good looking (like, burning my retinas). I literally spent the whole set looking at the saxophone player or the ceiling. I'm told that TMcB was doing all kinds of cheesy things too. I thought they were pretty good though.
