First: Jump In The Air And Stay There
I don't live in Cville anymore, though I still enjoy a lot of the local music scene there from afar. Haven't been covering shows back in VA much lately because it seems silly to report on a local scene that's an 8 hour trip away. That being said, the boys + girl in the band True Womanhood e-mailed me to let me know about a show they're playing at The Bridge on Thurs Feb 18. Poking around Nailgun reveals that they'll be sharing the bill with Great Dads (another Adam Smith project, therefore probably awesome by default), Rhythm Bandit (whose MySpace reveals some tinny weird electronics), and Dinowalrus (a self-described "drum n drone" band from NYC). Earplugs etc.
Anyway, I appreciate True Womanhood's ambition (e-mailing me even though I don't really even cover Cville closely anymore), their hometown (DC hasn't gotten enough love for at least a decade), and their tunes (lots of chiming guitars, makes me feel like 2010 brings us full circle to the first wave of indie rock bands circa 2000/2001 who merged 90's guitars with electronics and outre song structures, without losing the tunes).
