Big local concert news: DC bands Ted Leo and the Pharmacists and the Max Levine Ensemble are playing at St. Stephen’s Church Sacred Heart Church at 16th and Park this Saturday in a benefit put on by Positive Force DC. Tickets are $13 and the show is for “immigrant rights, union organizing, and community-building. All profits to National Day Laborer Organizing Network and We Are Family DC.” Better get them fast, it’s not a very big place.
Leo puts on a great show: I saw him a few years ago a American U. The Max Levine Ensemble is from DC.
Always cool to see local boys done good, and also cool shows in the area. You may remember that Positive Force was involved with a lot of the hardcore music that happened here in the 1980s, and have been active since then.
Here’s a sample of some Ted Leo songs I like.
UPDATE: Medications have been added to the bill.
