Flashband® has had a huge impact on the music scene in DC, especially for the 7DC community! Since its birth in 2012, over 50 showcases have been hosted.
​In May 2017, 7DrumCity acquired Flashband
®. We're psyched to be carrying the torch and continuing the tradition!
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!!
