Ben Kweller’s booking people probably weren’t aware of the solid gold they were striking in booking the singer-songwriter in D.C. on Parents’ Weekend. Kweller stopped by AU last spring to open for the Student Union Board-sponsored We the Kings concert, upstaging the group’s sophomoric pop-punk with his easy-listening piano rock.

Spring’s counterpart to the hyper-detailed year-end music countdown list is the “Most Anticipated Albums of 2012” roundup. Funny thing is, these lists usually contain the same? handful of buzzed-about albums. This spring’s earliest offenders rest at opposite ends of a spectrum: renegade rap collective Odd Future and Top 40’s reigning hip-hop princess Nicki Minaj.
The 9:30 club and the Black Cat’s mainstages are far from the only stages in town worth your attention. Next month, venture out to one of D.C.’s other venues to see these smaller (and cheaper!) shows.
