Congotronics

According to Express today, famed Congolese trance-rock garage band Konono No. 1 will be playing tomorrow at the Black Cat. $15 gets you in, show starts at 9:30. I picked the CD up on the way to work today. It's pretty good, as long as what you're expecting is heavily electified African music. It's probably not something I'd go to see.

But just to note a quick correction for today's paper: Death By Sexy, playing at DC9 tomorrow night, is not a side project of the singer from Queens of the Stone Age. That band, called the Eagles of Death Metal, did release an album titled "Death by Sexy." But it's not the same group. I used to play with DxS's drummer, back when Mile Zero was a band instead of a chronicle of mental illness.
