​FLASHBAND organizes epic themed showcases of one-time bands.
Meet at a jam session and play a show 1 month later!

Musicians -- meet other hobbyists & play a show

Play the WOMEN ROCK Flashband
THIS EVENT IS FULL, EXCEPT FOR BASS PLAYERS! We need a few more bass players but otherwise we are full. Sign up here!

With current events giving us daily reminders about the mistreatment and abuse suffered by women, as well as their underrepresentation in positions of power, this Flashband looks to help stand with women at this point of crisis by celebrating and giving voice to female artists.

Flashbands (all genders welcome) will exclusively perform songs by female artists and female-fronted bands.

The show will be at Sauf Haus, an awesome beer garden and venue in Dupont Circle! We’ll be setting up a stage in the upstairs space.

We’re very excited to be partnering with This Could Go Boom! for this event. TCGB! is a nonprofit record label whose mission is to curate, create, publish, promote and distribute the musical works of under-represented, gender diverse people. TCGB! works for parity of representation in every facet of the music industry, from recording & production to live performance & creative expression to music journalism & media broadcasting. Learn more and donate here.

Music fans -- experience a Flashband showcase!

The next showcase is Saturday November 17th at Sauf Haus in Dupont Circle!
Ticket links available soon!
