If you’ve studied indie rock history, you already know what Mark and @teenbeat Records (his creation in high school) means, not only to the DC area (Bratmobile, Velocity Girl, Tuscadero, Circus Lupus etc) but the world-wide jangly-pop patchwork.
His bands Grenadine, Air Miami and Flin Flon were always a burst of sunshine and energy round here, and dare we say, Unrest’s “Perfect Teeth” is just that- perfect....go listen to it, for real. We’re going to right now.
A super special upstairs show, tickets are onsale NOW at theottobar.com and fee-free at Ottobar!

FLIER BY @ilijanecovski
"What we call crime and poverty is what we get with capitalism. It`s what has to exist if you want capitalism. If you don`t want poverty, and that particular violence that is sometimes associated with it, you have to get rid of capitalism." -Boots Riley

You like how I slapped "Another" on there and BOOM I can use the same flier from last time? Work smarter not harder blah blah blah. Also that is a BANGER period specific movie reference, just ask your Gen X Dad who is in the garage crying with the car running, he can explain it.
