Their music just made you feel good, and hits like “Where The Party At” and “Let’s Get Married” are still played today at weddings and cookouts everywhere. Signed by veteran producer Jermaine Dupri, the group’s identical twins and songwriters, Brian and Brandon Casey, along with Kyle Norman and Richard Wingo, were R&B trailblazers in the boy band era that so many of us unapologetically and unironically loved. Known for their upbeat melodies and dope matching ensembles in all of their music videos, the group began singing and dancing their way into the hearts of their fans in 1997. Whether you had your own boo or were simply making up relationships in your mind, their songs had you feeling like a lovesick puppy in four short minutes.

Read more> Gary Numan performs with Me Not You at 6 p.m. His aesthetic and music are very much an embodiment of who he is: mercurial, experimental, and an utter enigma. His look of choice is beneath layers and layers of linen and cotton, with kohl-rimmed eyes piercing beyond a hood. The bleak synths are what make the modern Numan. On his latest album, Savage, Numan takes the keys from another hit- “M.E.”-and infuses each track with a bleak and alien pulsating, underneath vocal lovelorn and apprehensive notes. artist’s works have impressed the likes of Prince, Trent Reznor, Foo Fighters, and rhythmic rockers Queens of the Stone Age, making his music essential listening and his live sets essential viewing.

Dudes may not give a fuck, but you should give a fuck about Dudes. More likely, it just seemed like a fun thing to do. But considering Dudes’ songs, like Greatest Hits’ anthemic closer, “Don’t Give” (of which most of the lyrics are “I don’t give a fuck”), it’s likely that there wasn’t much sentimentality put into the decision to reunite. Each of Dudes’, er dudes, have gone on to bigger and brighter things musically, but this one-night-only reunion is an apt reminder of some of their humble beginnings. But the band built its reputation through their unpredictable live shows. It’s eight tracks of lo-fi freakouts that kick out the jams better than MC5 could’ve ever hoped to. How does a band secure their own legacy, even if they were around for only a few months? Dudes, the short-lived garage punk band consisting of Hothead’s Laurie Spector, Bless’ Luke Reddick, and Chain and the Gang’s Francy Graham, did it through their only release, the aptly-and snottily-titled Greatest Hits. Sometimes a band’s lifespan is eight months. In the vast history of D.C.’s ever-fruitful music scene, bands come and go.
