Concerts!

A great deal of musicians and bands come through London. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get tickets for JayZ or Lady Gaga when they were their due to their popularity in the UK. Though last week I had the chance to see Vampire Weekend at the O2 Brixton Academy Hall. They released their new album, Contra a month ago and the show was sold out for both nights. My friend who saw them perform at Smith a year ago said they were a bit awkward, but I thought they were pretty engaging and funny. They even made Jersey Shore references (Fist Pump, The Situation, etc), which clearly no one comprehended, but I was glad they did a little USA shoutout =)

In relation to DC/GW there are tons of concerts that happen throughout the year. For example, GW has Fall Fest that kicks in the school year with several student organizations fairs/carnival themed outdoor events/and concerts, we've had Sean Kingston,OK Go, Fabulous, Notorious BIG and a bunch of other artists perform. Aside from GW hosting events, DC has a number of music venues and clubs, such as the Black Cat, 9:30 Club, and Fur with a variety of artists that range from the like of Cat Power to DJ Tiesto.
