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!
