What a Disgrace!
The Shondes are a queer and trans rock quartet playing driving rock music with classical influences and layered harmonies, and fueled by their radical politics and activism. "Shonde" is Yiddish for "disgrace, shame or outrage" and their music is about connecting with others who are "shondes" to the communities they come from, and about political risk and struggle.
The Shondes are heading out on their first national summer tour – "Disgracing Ourselves Across America!" – and the first stop will be in DC, where they will play with Odd Bones, the Degenerettes and Bitter Marisa.
When: Thursday, June 29 Where: Velvet Lounge (915 U St. NW)
