Just Bought A Microphone For My Kid ‘Cause She’s Trying Out For A Band

The Surge is me on drums and environment reporter Rory Carroll on guitar/vox. And yet we’re not even D.C.’s premier journalist band. That would be Suspicious Package, an all-star (mostly) cover band that include such heavies as Los Angeles Times nat-sec correspondent Josh Meyer and Washington Post cartoonist and good-time-charlie Tom Toles. Come see them at 9:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Rock N Roll Hotel on H Street NE. I regret that I will be in Austin for Netroots Nation and will miss SP yet again, but go in my stead. And heckle.
