2000s Remixed Flashband Showcase
For the first time ever, Flashband is taking on The Atlantis! On July 12th, eight all-new Flashbands will be performing a power-packed night of remixed 2000s hits. Get ready for a night full of 2000s mashups, medleys, deep cuts, and genre-bending arrangements. From M.I.A to MGMT, OutKast to My Chemical Romance, Kylie Minogue to the Pussycat Dolls, and dozens more, you *know* that Flashband isn’t your average cover show. Grab your tix and let’s get into the remix!

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
  • Get professional photos of you performing with your instrument
  • New BFFs from your one-time band! (you might even stick together?)
