About the event

Capital Rat$

When The Capital Rat$ first came together in the summer of 2024, none of them expected the whirlwind of fun that was about to unfold. What started as a jam session quickly turned into a high-energy ride that’s been non-stop ever since.

The Capital Rat$ have built a reputation for turning every performance into a full blown party. Fueled by high energy, infectious joy, and just the right amount of absurdity, this band doesn’t just play gigs — they create experiences.

So grab your tail, join the rat pack, and get ready to lose yourself in the noise — because with The Capital Rat$, the fun never rat-tires.

Shelley Star & The Galaxy

Shelley Star & the Galaxy have been making waves in the DMV music scene since 2022, combining vibrant pop-rock melodies with theatrical flair. Fronted by the enigmatic Shelley Star, the band takes its inspiration from cosmic influences, drag, and musical icons like Lady Gaga, ABBA, and The Killers. Known for their out-of-this-world live performances, Shelley Star & the Galaxy rocked Fairfax Pride 2023 and placed second in Band Battle #25 at Jammin Java. Their debut album released in February 2024 delivers an explosive fusion of pop, rock, and glam. They celebrated the release of their sophomore album “Crystal Beach” on 5/4/25 to high acclaim; reviewer Tommy Tick saying, “it is everything a follow-up album should be, a sign that our heroes are growing in their maturity as artists and inviting us to grow alongside them”. Check out the collab “Dark Matter feat. Bryce Bowyn” included on the album wherever you stream!

Professor Goldstein & The Adjuncts

Introducing Professor Goldstein & The Adjuncts: a 7-piece party rock group from Hyattsville, MD that’s influenced by ska punk, dad rock, indie folk, and Weezer. The band comes complete with rhythm section, horn section, and hype (no figures sold separately.) Professor Goldstein & The Adjuncts have just released their debut LP titled Songs About Dinosaurs, a record that takes extremely loose snapshots of the mighty megafauna of the Mesozoic era in under thirty minutes.

Bryce Bowyn

Based in Washington, D.C, Bryce Bowyn juxtaposes familiar, late 2000s pop soundscapes with self-aware, cutting lyricism. Bowyn’s anthemic electropop tracks have captivated audiences throughout the nation’s capital and beyond.
