The Red and the Black, 1212 H Street, NE, DC 20002.

We haven't play the Red and the Black in over a year, but this North Carolina band called Tripp was looking for a local band to share the stage, so we figured what the heck. Besides, they're friends with former Ash Lovely bandmate David Klinger, so they are all part of that circle that won't be broken.
