Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson

Sunday

Songwriter Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson harnessed the talents Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor and TV on the Radio’s Kyp Malone for his self-titled debut.  According to NPR, Robinson’s “emotive, at times tormented rock rides on the clamor of discordant guitar jabs, tinny drums, and pained singing.”  See him for $10 with Castanets at DC9.  Doors open at 8:00.

Sondre Lerche

Monday 

Norwegian born Sondre Lerche blends pop and jazz in catchy but lengthy songs.  His 2002 album Faces Down was named one of Rolling Stone’s 50 best albums of the year, and his latest release, Phantom Punch, was produced with Tony Hoffer.  Lerche will be at the 9:30 Club on Monday at the usual time.

Gist

Wednesday

If you’re still around on Wednesday, DC’s own Gist will be at the Black Cat for $4.  According to their Myspace page, the band “[relies] on good hooks and songwriting, instead of gimmicks and gadgets.”  I tend to think you get what you pay for.
