Washington Social Club is one
of the hottest bands to come out of D.C. in a long time. This energetic
threesome rocked the house at Schubas Summer on Southport, the night of August
1st with a riveting indoor performance.
Front
man Marty Social reminded me of
Mick Jagger with his enthusiasm,
and demeanor, although their
music had more of a pop/punk sound. His guitar had a “smooth California” rhythm
at times but was generally raw and machine-gun fast.
The pulsating sounds from
Olivia’s bass compliment Randy on the drums to give Washington Social Club a
unique beat that straddles the border between power-pop and punk.
Although they’ve just
released an 8
song EP, to really appreciate Washington Social Club, you
are really missing out if you don't find the chance to witness their energy on stage.

With song titles like
New Jersey Malls, Are You High?, Charlie
(an outstanding, high-energy number) and Dead Kid, you can't
help but love these guys!.
After seeing Washington Social Club at
Schubas' Summer on
Southport 2003,
I’ve now added them to my “don’t miss” list If you enjoy live, high energy
original music, you
should too!
