This July 22-24th is Capitol Hill Block Party time. The local music festival has expanded to 3-days and features a wide ranging line-up that hits on just about every genre of popular music. While I'm not quite sure if the line-up is as strong as previous years, it certainly is solid enough for me to spend the annual bender weekend snuggled down inside the Cha Cha for sets by Akimbo, Absolute Monarchs, Virgin, Nazca Lines, and Constant Lovers. On the bigger stages I'm sure I'll be amongst the sweaty and drunken for sets by Fucked Up, Black Breath, He Whose Ox is Gored, Les Savy Fav, My Goodness, Federation X, and Virgin Islands. Here's the line-up so far (recommedations highlighted) and more will be announced June 1st.
