   We Fought the Big One's Blurbs
About me:

"One of the best ongoing dj nights in Washington DC!" --- The Washington Post's Going Out Gurus, June 2009.

"The most consistently interesting and remarkable dj night going." --- William Alberque, BrightestYoungThings.com, April 2008.

Championed by the likes of WashingtonPost.com, On Tap Magazine, Wonkette and The Onion. Voted by SPIN magazine as one of the 101 hottest things to do in the U.S. (but don't let that deter you!)

On the first Friday of every month, DJs/record obsessives Brandon Grover and Rick Taylor host the ultimate celebration/listening party of left-of-center independent pop brilliance and post-punk weirdness. Who said Washington DC is a buttoned-down town?

THE NEXT WE FOUGHT THE BIG ONE IS FRI. DEC. 4! OUR GUEST DJs WILL BE OUTPOST, AKA STUART ARGABRIGHT(IKE YARD), MARK C (LIVE SKULL), AND KENT HEINE (HOLY GHOST)! WFTBO IS PRESENTING A SPECIAL LIVE SHOW WITH OUPOST ON SAT. DEC. 5 AT THE VELVET LOUNGE! ALSO PLAYING: SCREEN VINYL IMAGE, THE PLUMS AND BLUE SAUSAGE INFANT! DON'T MISS EITHER EVENT!

BTW, DO YOU HAVE A COPY OF OUR LATEST MIX CD? IF THE ANSWER IS YES, THEN YOU ARE A LUCKY SOD. THEY'RE ALL GONE NOW.
Who I'd like to meet:
club sisters, dub sisters, all you kids and programmers...

The Raincoats, Section 25, Medium Medium, Savage Republic, For Against, Crystal Stilts and loads of more amazing bands! I will be djing, along with Hugo Burnham and Dave Allen of Gang of Four, Dan Selzer (Acute Records), James Nice (LTM) and of course, the inimitable Michael Stock himself.
