On 12 October, Comet Ping Pong hosted a sold out show with headliner band Black Eyes with supporting band Bed Maker in Washington, DC. Dying Scene was there to capture the two DC bands play until midnight with the same energy that they started off with. This was a killer show.
Post-punk band, Black Eyes came together to perform in front of a packed venue with the original line up from 2001-2004: Dan Caldas (drums/bass/vox), Daniel McCormick (guitar/vox), Hugh MacElroy (bass/keyboard/vox), Jacob Long (bass/guitar/vox), and Mike Kanin (drums/vox). They played a great set from start to finish.
On 25 October, Black Eyes announced new shows coming soon. Stay tuned here.
Another DC’s punk band, Bed Maker was the opening band and they gave it their all. I have seen these guys multiple times in DC and really love the energy they evoke no matter what size the stage is. Band consists of Amanda MacKaye (vox), Jeff Barsky (guitar), Arthur Noll (bass), and Vin Novara (drums).
Yes, MacKaye is the co-founder of Sammich Records and sister to Ian MacKaye (Fugazi and co-owner of Dischord Records) and Alec MacKaye (Untouchables and the Faith).
Go see them here.
