88 Music Blog

So you thought you had St. Patty’s day plans. You were going to go drink beer then watch it come back out about the same color several hours later after you decide Jameson is the new water. Does that still appeal to you? If so, more power to ya. We at the 88 have a different and a more sober agenda. Specifically we implore you to take a long look at yourself and decide what type of music fan you really are. See, that Dropkick Murphys song lost its appeal now didn’t it………….didn’t it.

We digress and say simply that the Forward Fest jumped one day forward this year and with the full weekend pass a paltry 45 dollars for nearly 72 hours of music, events, and media for you to palette, you have little say in the matter.

You will have to attend.

We enlisted some of our favorites this year to help kick off the festival right. And kicking it off are three dear friends to us since 88′s inception. The Great Mundane, Kilowatts and City Rain. Since we held the last X party back in Twenty Aught Nine, these three have been furiously touring and prepping new music to drop on your St. Patty’s Day celebration. The visual entertainment will be on par if not superior to those of the X parties as a fine group of artists including local favorite David London. As for the venue it is quickly becoming one of our new faves. If you joined us for the Untold party you will know the atmosphere is unlike anywhere else in the DC area.

So really you can choose the column A, the night of amazing music, great friends and stunning visuals or column B, talking over the un-elegantly wasted, listening to a CDR folk mix on repeat, and pay at least seven or eight times the cost of our party (nine times if you include the cab ride from Clinton, MD in the morning). Yeah it’s time to play the artsy card this year. We promise an awesome night and great start to the newly expanded Forward Festival 2010!
