Bad Brains Not Banned DC Election Night

09/02/2008

 

 

Burn baby burn: Playing Washington Nov. 4.

By Blurt Staff

 

 

Years ago they were "banned in D.C." (and got a song out of the deal, but still... ). Nearly 3 decades later, rasta punks the Bad Brains will be playing D.C. on that most auspicious of Washington-esque evenings: Election Night.

 

 

That's right: Nov. 4 finds the original lineup rocking the 9:30 Club. Now don't you feel good about that? Pay to cum, kids.

 

 

November 4 - 9:30 Club, Washington D.C.

November 6 - Irving Plaza, NYC

Novermber 9 - Waterloo Park, Austin TX
