Old BYT friends and now bona-fide 930 club headliners on a FRIDAY NIGHT, U.S. Royalty will be playing the aforementioned club on July 29th (in just 4 days). BIRDLIPS ARE OPENING! TRUE WOMANHOOD ARE OPENING! It is going to be all sorts of great and filled with local pride.
Tickets are a bargain $15 each and still available, but we have a pair to give away. To enter to win, leave us a comment telling us who your ultimate date to a U.S. Royalty show would be and why. We’ll notify the winners by COB Wednesday. Cool?
Maybe Tom Petty because I heard the lead singer of US Royalty do a DJ set at Jimmy Valentine’s recently and he played some Tom Petty retro-”I Need to Know” in the middle of this dance set and it just kicked ass. Plus, Tom Petty kinda IS US (rock) Royalty, right?
Ultimate date to US Royalty? Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac fame…why? Because she is just as likely to get up and start crooning as the rest of the band. Love it.
Ultimate date to US Royalty? Eric Cantor, just to see how uncomfortable he’d be.
Devendra banhart
Smokey the bear.
Queen Latifah
i would bring nickleback. After USR plays their whole song, ill just turn around and say… “thats what music really is”
I would bring Robert Parissi, lead singer of the band Wild Cherry, so he could see with his own eyes that indeed US Royalty plays that funky music, as white boys
It would have to be my sister-in-law, who’s still in Iraq but is in love with U.S. Royalty ever since my husband and I sent her a copy of Mirrors. Can’t wait ’til she can see them live! How ’bout USR does USO?!
Thao Nguyen, to show her that it is possible for a good band from DC to stay in DC.
My perfect date would have to be an awesome rocker chick who’s hometown was D.C. However, she would have to have enough soul to cry to the beauty of equestrian and be crazy enough to have sex to the groove of Hollywood Hollows.
Papa Smurf… for obvious reasons.
Clearly I would take Alan Thicke
I know I’m a Fool To Love [U.S. Royalty] (Like I Do), but I’d probably Give Up The Ghost, ditch all those Hollywood Hollows, take a good long look in The Mirror, and leave a Voice Memo for one of my Old Flames—one with an Equestrian spirit and a Desert-Won’t-Save-You attitude—to take to the most mind-blowing, raucous show of the summer!
Um, how about fucking GEORGE WASHINGTON? #usroyalty
