Good news from our friends at Moreland’s Tavern (5501 14th Street, NW at Kennedy/Colorado.) Live Music March Sundays upstairs!! (more…)
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.

I was stunned when I saw Pepco’s letter explaining why we were experiencing higher electricity bills this winter. Their explanation was basically… it’s cold.
I wanted to make sure readers were aware that (more…)
