O’Tasty (Potato Famine) annual St. Paddies show Sat night at IOTA:

Iota Club And Cafe
2832 Wilson Boulevard
Saturday, March 16th, 2013
9:00pm – 11:00pm | $12

Columbia-Heights based band with front man James O’Brien, owner of Red Rocks, will be playing our annual St. Paddies show at IOTA. Irish rock with a Celtic Punk twist. We’ll have a couple of surprises for you with our 7-piece band that’s sure to get the crowd dancing.

Yes it’s across the river but it’s a block from the Clarendon metro station, meaning a flat half hour commute from Columbia Heights and even less from downtown DC so don’t let that stop you.

Debuting at the D.C. Independent Film Festival this week, “Corporate FM” digs deep into what has happened to radio over the last 20 years and what it’s doing to our communities. It talks about how radio helped elevate local bands, discuss issues within the listening area, and instill a sense of community. There is something powerful about knowing that what you are hearing is being heard by thousands of your neighbors – connecting you all to a specific place and time.

“Corporate FM” focuses in on the little known Telecommunications Act of 1996 , which really becomes the cornerstone of this film. Compelling interviews and historical references show us how this little known or cared about act has affected local radio and what that means for communities nationwide. Heavily focused on Lawrence, Kansas and radio station KLZR, the narrative draws between what local radio was and what it has now become.
