The Owners
The Owners are Dante Ferrando (Gray Matter, Ignition), Catherine Ferrando, Al Budd (The Shirks), and Laura Harris (Ex Hex, The Aquarium). The Ferrandos have owned and operated the Black Cat since it opened in 1993, Al Budd and Laura have both been behind the bar for more than 20 years. Although they have worked together and seen each other perform for many years, it wasn't until the pandemic hit and the club had to put a hold on shows that they thought to get together and play. The result is one of the most fun new bands in DC.
Shop Talk
FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM | SPOTIFY | BANDCAMP
Shop Talk is a three-piece punk band formed in Brooklyn, NY. Their spirit harkens back to the pioneers of punk's first wave, but Shop Talk is no tribute act. Their razor-sharp songwriting delivers something rare in 2023: a fresh take on the genre.
Their debut EP "The Offering" is a menacing exploration of romance, sacrificial rites, and mind-altering military experiments — captured to two-inch tape by long-time Guided By Voices producer Travis Harrison. The album features artwork by Alexander Heir (Death/Traitors, L.O.T.I.O.N. Multinational Corporation), and was released April 21st on Mon Amie Records (Q Lazzarus) available on all platforms.
