Ed. Note: What is this? Have people brought there own cans since the DC DPR cans haven’t been emptied?!?!

“Dear PoPville,

Has D.C. government checked out? Trash cans in Kalorama Park and Walter Pierce Park are all overflowing – and been so for a while.

DPR now says the situation has been escalated to its DPW liaison. Stay tuned.

UPDATE 4/30 After days and days and days, the cans were emptied this morning – just in time for Porchfest!”

Event

The Fuss is a dynamic ska and rocksteady band from Washington, D.C. Their sound pays tribute to the music of 1960’s Jamaica and the British Mod scene, while putting modern slant on the timeless styles. The group showcases 3-part female harmonies and a 3-piece horn section. The Fuss’s lively vibe gets a crowd going, yet brings a smooth and steady groove.

For the first time, they’ll play brand new songs from their upcoming album, Together (October, 2026) on Jump Up Records.
