A weekend at DSTRCT DSTRCT, located on the upper floor of Van Gogh’s Ear, hosted three nights of live independent music over the May 22 weekend. With daily lineups that integrated a variety of different genres of music, including pun k-rock, jazz, soul, reggae, dance-pop, R&B, and post-hardcore/metalcore, the atmosphere of each show was painted with a wide range of emotion and experience. Thursday night brought post-hardcore metal bands into the spotlight, w it h sou nds f rom Lu ng less, Great Lakes, and Dog Fashion
Disco. Friday night showcased some funky and soulful grooves, with music by The Boom Booms, Juice, and KC Roberts and the Live Revolution. Saturday closed the weekend with a dose of newage punk from Dead Broke, Dilly Dally, and The Dirty Nil. Each night transformed the environment—and the stage—into a new subcultural hot spot, though the venue in itself remained as lively and energetic as fans of DSTRCT have come to expect. Page 7
