about Black Cat

"The Black Cat has been bringing you the best in live independent music since it opened in the fall of 1993.

In the early ‚?90s, DC suffered from a lack of good concert venues, especially spaces that catered to the area‚?s underground music scene. Hoping to revive the tradition of independent music in Washington, a group of investors (most of them musicians) opened the Black Cat in September 1993. Among the first bands to play were the Fall, Rancid, Morphine, Stereolab, Slant 6 and 9353. Since opening its doors, the Black Cat has been a home for local and national talent, thereby playing its own part in the explosion of indie rock that marked the last decade..."

Black Cat is a fantastic concert venue for independent and alternative labels. I've seen more shows here than I can count, and they still continue to surprise with the groups they draw. If what you listen to has yet to appear on MTV, there is a good chance you can find it here, and the medium-sized concert venue is a perfect balance where you can be up-close and interact with the band while still having enough free room to retreat from a mosh pit to breathe. If you can find a band you like playing here, you will have a great time!

Really cool place! you walk upstairs to the main concert area it has low ceiling very intimate feeling venue. Kind of an awkward location to get to from Georgetown but its really just a little ways past Dupont.
