About the event

This show was rescheduled from Thursday, December 26th, 2024. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date. 

The Beanstalk Library

The Beanstalk Library‘s timeless songcraft and adventurous live performances have earned them a loyal following and critical accolades in their native Washington, DC. The band has performed at the Kennedy Center, the Hamilton and Pearl Street Warehouse, among many other notable venues and their single “Easier” was featured in the Relix magazine digital sampler. Their new single and accompanying music video, “Out From Under You,” was released in June and the band is currently working on a new full-length album. Recommended if you like Tom Petty, Big Star, My Morning Jacket.

KINDA EVIL

KINDA EVIL brews 70s-hard rock and 90s-stoner metal with an inky dash of ‘riot grrrl’ punk for searing songcraft and spellbinding shows. Appealing to listeners of The Dead Weather, Black Sabbath, Hole, and Queens of the Stone Age, KINDA EVIL severs the polarity of good and evil in a cauldron of high octane energy. Psychedelic vocals electrify tempo shifts while menacing riffs vaporize into foggy far-out ballads. Dark, potent, and bittersweet; we’re all a little evil.

Railsplitter

Railsplitter is a DC-based punk rock band inspired by the gruff yet melodic sounds of Leatherface, Jawbreaker, The Lemonheads and Husker Du.

Founding members Drew Butler, Christian Golden, Mark Gross and Billy Maurer made plans at a now-shuttered chili joint in Arlington, VA in 2009 to play music inspired by the bands they loved. Original drummer Mark moved to Pennsylvania after a few practices, and Billy moved behind the kit. The trio enlisted Hampton Maher to take over for Billy on bass, and Railsplitter was born.

In 2010, the band recorded four songs at the epicenter of DC punk rock, Inner Ear studios, and played local DIY staples including The Black Cat, The Pinch, and The Velvet Lounge, and the legendary Fort Reno concert series. Drew moved to New York in 2011, played with Travis Morrison of the Dismemberment Plan in his short-lived band The Burlies before moving back to DC in 2013. Railsplitter reformed, released two EPs, Somewhere on Earth in 2014 and Tiger Papers in 2017. After going dormant in 2018, the band emerged with their third EP, Little in November 2022.

Little harkens back to the melodic punk the band grew up on, drawing inspiration from Husker Du, Leatherface, Jawbreaker, and Snuff to make sense of life in the 2020s.
