Yes, it’s tacky to put a video of this band at the top of a Weekend Playlist, but hell: It’s not every day you get to release your second album. And indeed that’s what DoubleMotorcycle is doing on Saturday at The Blue Side — along with a whole bunch of friends. Such is why it seemed to make sense to showcase this video: A lot of friends are in it. So come on by. Buy some Tandem Biker beer. And maybe say hello? Maybe? OK. Elsewhere this weekend, daMood is heading back to the Blue Sky, and they always crush it whenever they are given the opportunity to crush it. The Dirty Middle will be blues-rocking Beans In The Belfry, and they are just the best. Mr. One M himself will be hosting an open mic at said Belfry. Flo Petite, she of greatest song of 2018, will be taking the Designated Music Space at Cafe Nola. And then there’s the Escape Goat Band. They sound fun. The snow is on its way, friends, and Frederick Music Showcase season is in full effect. Be good. Smile at someone.
