About Last Night: Diarrhea Planet at DC9
Everything about Diarrhea Planet seems like a joke. The name. Song titles like, “Ghost With a Boner.” The sheer excess of four guitars in one punk-rock band. One thing that is no joke at all: The band’s live show.
Sporting a name that sounds more like like a fecal-themed horror film than a guitar-driven punk band, the Nashville-based sextet has generated quite a buzz over the past couple weeks.Last week, the band release its latest album, I’m Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams. The album itself has received some decent reviews, but seemingly everything written about the band has lauded its live show. In his review for Pitchfork, Jayson Greene said, “If Diarrhea Planet are playing in a 100-mile radius of where you are sitting, go there.”
Best Bets: Concerts you should probably check out
Shark Week
Yes, we are a day late. Sorry kids. Lucky for you, there is still a lot going on this week. We’d like to draw special attention to The DC Emerging Artists Super Sampler, Vol 1 on Saturday. BYT and the Hamilton Live are co-sponsoring a showcase that will feature a ton of a great local talent, including: Shark Week, Uno Hype, Black Hills, Ra the MC, Kid Named Breezy, Drop Electric and more.
Also, we’d like to point out the foreboding nature of Diarrhea Planet playing a Mexican restaurant. Just saying…
