The Next Big Thing: Punk's Not Dead?

If the last punk album you bought was by Bad Brains, then maybe it's time to break out the Docs and get thee to "The Next Big Thing," a Sunday night showcase of more than 20 local punk and alternative bands at the 9: 30 Club.

The glory days of DC punk may be long gone, but who knows what great new band is coming to life in some rat-infested group house? So go, cheer on the young descendants of Minor Threat. All ages!

After you're done at the 9: 30 , use this handy guide or these   video   guides to visit all the ghosts of DC's hardcore past.

Sunday, Feb. 15; doors open at 11AM, $15 [ 9: 30 Club ]
