Merry Metal Flashband Showcase!
Flashband is ringing in the holiday season with our very first metal showcase! On Dec. 14th, get ready to face-melt by the fireside and jingle all the way with Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Metallica, Slayer, Ozzy Osbourne, Alice in Chains, System of a Down, and so many more, across all the subgenres your precious metalhead can take. And for extra festive fun, each band will "metallicize" a holiday song – either playing an existing metal holiday cover or your own original metal arrangement! Join us to turn Songbyrd into a true tinseltown and thrash 2024 out in style.
Questions? Read about all the things in our newly updated FAQs here! There's a 97% chance your question already has an answer. Otherwise, please reach out to Emily Goodman, Flashband Director at [email protected].

Proudly hosted by 7DrumCity: Flashband® has had a huge impact on the music scene in DC, especially for the 7DC community! Since its birth in 2012, over 70 showcases have been hosted, and many of your fave local bands have emerged from the Flashband® community! In May 2017, 7DrumCity acquired Flashband®. We're psyched to be carrying the torch and continuing the tradition! (Also, we are legally required to put this annoying ® symbol after any instance of Flashband® because Flashband® is a registered trademark... At least nobody can stop us now!!)
Musicians: Meet fellow hobbyists & play a show!
