****************
- Jason Boland & The Stragglers / Cody Canada and The Departed are playing at The Hamilton if you want to inject some country music into your life and eat some delicious food at the same time.
- Kamyar Arsani, Mosno Al Moseeki, and Special K Experience are all at Bossa Bistro and Lounge for a night of poetry and Persian Indie Folk music. I have never listened to Persian Indie Folk music, but now I feel the desperate need to google it.
- The French Embassy is showing a handful of French animated shorts in honor of the DC Francophonie Cultural Festival. Please tell me there will be French New Wave cartoons. I want nothing more.
- 9:30 Club presents Hermitude is at U Street Music Hall. You all know how we feel about UHall, so make sure you show them a little love this week in celebration of their fifth birthday.
- Â G. Love & Special Sauce and Matt Costa are playing at 9:30 Club. It’s been eight years since their last live performance, so if you miss them tonight, it might be a while until you seem them again.
- The Summercamp Show is at the Wonderland Ballroom. Relive all your wonderful (or horrifying) camp memories! Hopefully Jason doesn’t show up. He’s got a lot of feelings about summer camp.
- Spies & Wine: Fakes, Frauds and Fun is happening at the International Spy Museum. Learn about faking documents, faking wines, and CIA drinking tips. It’s gonna be a boozy good time.
- British Indie Rock band Catfish and the Bottlemen are at DC9, but unfortunately it’s already sold out.
- Â Rocco Deluca, Johnathan Thomas Wright, and Old Man are playing at Black Cat. I have no idea who Rocco Deluca is but their music video for “Colors of the Cold” is kind of cool.
