Members of Animal Collective, Beauty Pill create new music for D.C. Boombox Event This Saturday (Wayne Coyne suspiciously not invited)!

Hey everyone: stop protesting about Everything Ever on the National Mall for a second. Washington DC-based experimental psych-rock band Bluebrain has a special treat for you this Saturday. With the help of D.C. movers and shakers ReadysetDC, the duo of brothers has called in some awfully big favors from heavy-hitting friends to help compose new music for a good old-fashioned “Boombox Event” that’s fixing to go down this Saturday, April 3 on the capital’s National Mall.

In case you’re an L7 Weenie, here’s how the whole Boombox Happening thing works: fans (e.g. fans of the respective bands involved, fans of experimental music, fans of illicit substance abuse, fans of cherry blossoms, etc.) are asked to bring their own boomboxes, and Bluebrain will supply each fearless freak with a cassette tape. Each tape is part of a giant composite soundtrack featuring music from Chad Clark of Beauty Pill, Brian Weitz of The Animal Collectivez, Maureen Andary, Sean Peoples of Sockets Records, Outputmessage”, Will Eastman, Alfonso Bravo, and of course, Bluebrain. Attendees are then instructed to “hit play, motherfuckers” at the same time for a unique musical/spacial experience as they march across the Mall with its famous cherry blossoms in full bloom. The aforementioned motherfuckers will then be instructed to erase their cassettes (though some will just pretend to do so) and will be promptly booted from the premises so that some angry mob or another can play through. But hey, if you’re going to affiliate yourself with a faction of crazies, they might as well be cool, fun, music-loving crazies, right? Not like those OTHER crazies. They’re just crazy.
