If the name U.S. Royalty doesn’t ring a bell yet, listen up. These guys have been earning accolades from the likes of Spin, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Esquire and NPR since the 2011 release of their debut record, Mirrors, and are set to hit the Sweetlife stage for a second year running. But this Saturday, April 14th, at 8:30pm, WGTB is teaming up with Sweetgreen and Relay for Life to bring you an intimate look at these DC-based rockers right in our own Bulldog Alley. Opening up for U.S. Royalty, we’re lucky to welcome some DC royalty with John Davis and Chris Richards of Q and Not U as well as our Battle of the Bands winners, Law Abiding Criminals!

Tickets will be $3 in advance / $5 at the door
To pick up your ticket, you can find us outside of Midnight on Lau 2 from 9-11 Tuesday (4/10) to Thursday (4/12). We’ll also be tabling with tickets in Red Square from 12-3pm Wednesday (4/11) to Friday (4/13).

In honor of the event, some of our exec board members and DJs have brought a cut from U.S. Royalty‘s debut to life in this trailer that imagines U.S. Royalty as a hypothetical live action, American history-themed, celebrity death match-type reality show where the winner earns the right to reign over these United States as monarch. Enjoy and see you Saturday night! Read More »

Well, it is over. But it was fantastic! Thanks to all who made it out to Bulldog Alley, even in the rain, on Saturday for our first ever Block Party concert featuring killers sets from Reptar, RA the MC, Mercies and Get A Tan. We didn’t have sunshine and burgers, but we did have Sunshine and pizza, as well as face painting from GU Art Aficionados, giveaways from The Body Shop, snazzy new WGTB cups, and lots and lots of dancing. Thanks to all who helped make it a success, and to the bands for putting on such rocking sets. WGTB <3s you. Read More »

Do you like music? What about food? A fan of spring weather? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, you should probably mark your calendar for this Saturday, April 16th and plan on making your way over to Copley Lawn between 2:30 and 6pm for free music, free burgers and free (fingers crossed) sunshine. Now that you have that worked into your schedule, count down the days with WGTB’s own Thayer Frechette and Alex “Sunshine” Podkul who are bringing you new dance moves every day of this week to get you ready to get your groove on to Reptar, RA the MC, Mercies and Get A Tan.
