We Were Promised Jetpacks at the Rock and Roll Hotel


We Were Promised Jetpacks at the Rock and Roll Hotel put on a good show. And we even got a new song off their up and coming EP.  The band was into the show.  It should have been a great night...

But, I have to say I have a love and hate relationship with the Rock and Roll Hotel here in DC.  This has been the second time I have been at a sold out show at the R&R Hotel while they have a dance party going on upstairs and the venue has interfered with my enjoyment of the show.  I don't know if it was the sound board, the party upstairs, or just the mass of humanity, but the sound was off.  It was like listening to the show in the next room almost.  And it was so packed and the crowd was so drunk it just wasn't fun (and don't get me wrong there has been quite a few shows at the Blackcat or the 9:30 Club where the crowd help make the show). Other shows it has been great to see the band in such a small room.  Too bad last night wasn't one of those nights...
