Morgan Clinton, Director of The Pocket
|
The Pocket is 7DC's funky, intimate, in-house venue with a 70-person capacity and a beer & wine bar. After a great launch in November 2019, Covid forced us to shut down in March 2020 from Covid just as we were gettin' hot.
Now in February 2021, we're re-launching as a virtual venue by booking livestreams for bands. We've got all the gear, hard-wired fast ethernet, and a squad of savvy sound techs plus new Pocket Director, Morgan Clinton (formerly with U Street Music Hall) running the show. Please support us and the DC music scene by marking your calendars and tuning in to a show! To book a live stream session (either broadcasted live, or pre-recorded for a future livestream, or other variations), please email Morgan at thepocket@7drumcity.com with desired dates, and relevant info. |

FRIDAY, APRIL 23RD at 7 PM EST - MELK
[indie-pop/rock] Indie pop-rockers, Melk, is making music and bringing Craigslist back to The Pocket stage. Based in Washington, D.C., Melk makes self-aware, energetic music about the interactions that interrupt the mundanities of day-to-day life, and the way objects interact with our experiences and memories. The band formed when vocalist/guitarist Melissa Kain met bassist AJ Digregorio after responding to a Craigslist ad they posted in search of fellow musicians in the city. Their lineup quickly expanded to include guitarist Jegug Ih and drummer Alex Scheuer. Since then, the band released their debut EP, “Day Job” and played shows at venues across the city. Drawing inspiration from genres like punk, shoegaze, and synthpop, their music has drawn comparisons to that of bands such as Alvvays, Retirement Party, and the Cranberries |
