2000s Remixed Flashband Showcase
For the first time ever, Flashband is taking on... The Atlantis! And we’re bringing a power-packed theme: 2000s Remixed. On July 12th, eight all-new Flashbands will be delivering 2000s sets full of mashups, medleys, deep cuts, and genre-bending arrangements. Wanna sample an OutKast verse over P!nk? How about some Destiny’s Child girl power with a funk edge? Flipping classic 2000s electronica a la Daft Punk, Justice, or LCD Soundsystem into hard-hitting rock? Flashband isn’t your average cover show, so let’s get into the remix!

This showcase is open to all but will be especially geared toward experienced Flashband performers. Registration will be open on Thursday 5/8 between 12-1pm, so mark your calendars and don’t miss out!




Musicians: Meet fellow hobbyists & play a show!​
Proudly hosted by 7DrumCity, Flashband® has had a huge impact on the music scene in DC, especially for the 7DC community! Flashband puts on 6-8 themed showcases a year at killer venues all around DC. For each new show, local hobbyist musicians can sign up for a spot to participate in the Meet & Greet Jam, form a one-time band, and perform in the showcase 1-month later. Since its birth in 2012, over 75 showcases have been hosted featuring over 3K performers, turning into many of your fave local bands who emerged from the Flashband community! 7DrumCity acquired Flashband® in May 2017 and proudly carrying the torch and continuing the tradition ever since.
Here's why 3000+ people in the DC area love Flashband®:
  • Meet and jam with new local hobbyists like you (no sketchy Craigslist - we'll find the participants)
  • Play a packed Saturday night gig at a sweet venue just by showing up
  • Have all show logistics, backline, and promo graphics taken care of for you
