Here we have a good example of what the effect of changes in tempo can do to a piece. While this recording of “À Travers La Mer,” the ‘debut single’ of Georgetown’s own Law Abiding Criminals, has a mid-slow tempo, usually indicative of a more reflective or melancholic song, the song was just recorded this way, slowed down from the live, for the practicality of the band learning how to record. With the above in mind, “À Travers La Mer” was written to be a more upbeat, romantic song- at least this is what LAC guitarist and fellow WGTB DJ Brady Fowler tells me – so this is our Valentine’s Song of the Day.

WGTB Presents: U.S. Royalty

Posted by on April 9th 2012 0

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 »
