A lot’s been stirring ’round the DC scene as of late. We’ve made some new friends and some of our old ones have surprised us with new tricks up their hip corduroy sleeves. Our good friend Nick P, of Planaria Records/Design fame, has recently joined forces with some DC movers and shakers, and launched a new label (which we love), called Gypsy Eyes Records. The lineup is sick and we hope to work with some of the cats gracing their roster.

We’ve also made fast friends with the new upcoming local band and DCist fave, Deleted Scenes. We hope to play with them soon. They’ll be playing DCist’s Unbuckled, opening up for Georgie James on May 25!

In the meanwhile, Deleted Scenes’ bass player Fatty, is also in a band called, Parachute Musical, which features former members of Burning Airlines/Gov’t Issue/Shi-Toh/Wool. We’re pretty excited because we’ll be playing with them on June 5, 2006 at DC9. Joining us in the lineup is a pretty rockin’ trio from Athens, GA called Psychic Hearts. Check them both out. It’ll be a fantastic show, despite the fact it’s on a Monday. Honestly, every single one of you need to suck it up and not sleep on this show. Seriously.

So to recap:

Man! The weather has been outstanding, finally! Getting spring weather just in time for summer is spectacular. Anyhow, a lot of gears turning ’round the echelon camp and I gotta say, we’re pretty excited. Person will be playing a show on May 13th, 2006 at the Warehouse Next Door. Headliner, Say Hi To Your Mom and K Recs vets, Old Time Relijun will also be playing. It’ll be $8 and will begin at 9 pm. Make sure to come early, since Person will be playing first!
