Charm City's own branch will present a night of drawing and debauchery featuring D.C. burlesque beauties Sugar Ann Spice and L'il Dutch as our muses for the evening! Join in some seriously silly drawing contests to win prizes! At Dr. Sketchy's, we don't care if you picked up a pad yesterday or 50 years ago--come to drink or to draw. We recommend bringing your own sketch materials, but limited drawing supplies will be on hand for the curious.

Dj Set by 16 Large
Event hours: 7-10 p.m.

Utilizing thick beats and heavy synth lines, this DC area based duo bring a unique noise to dance floors and earbuds alike. There may be a bit of a retro feel to their music, but have no doubt: This is a modern sound. While being influenced by pop dance hits, 16 Large is not obligated to follow that formulaic structure. Much of their music has a rock and roll sensibilty. Flashy … fun … and in your face. The aim is to make grand and dramatic music that is still highly relatable. 16 Large is getting ready to release their first EP in 2010. The self-produced 5 track EP shows what one could expect from their live act. The hooks are catchy. The grooves are deep. And the sound is big.

Musical Performance by Curtain Call

Curtain Call began in 2009 when guitarist Mike Recachinas and singer Benedict Wagstaff realized they had talked too much and played too little. The band developed greatly and took its current shape in early 2010. As a group of experienced local musicians the band hopes they can unite and find their place on the DMV music scene. They take inspiration from all sorts of artists including the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Kooks, the Arctic Monkeys, OAR, Muse, John Mayer and the Disco Biscuits. Someday they hope that they like all those they look up to can find their own niche in the constantly developing genre of rock music. Curtain Call has been a journey, construction phase is over and now it's time to for us to get out and play and learn in the process.

Musical Performance by Power Pirate
9pm-10pm

Power Pirate is a three-piece electronic rock band from Washington D.C. formed in the fall of 2007 by Emily Pakulski (guitar & vocals), Michael Garate (keyboards), and Annika Monari (drums). Annika and Emily hosted an informal session to meet new musicians. Among them was Mike, who stayed with the two with the goal of creating music with a fusion of innovation and traditional musical theory.

Since then, Power Pirate has found its place in the DC/MD/VA music scene through catchy melodies and complex instrumentation. Inspired by modern artists such as Muse, Infected Mushroom, and Daft Punk, this trio fuses 80s-styled techno synths with hard-rock drum beats and guitar riffs to create the new, uncategorized genre unique to Power Pirate.

Musical Performance by Ivy Rose
10pm-11pm
Free

Formed in July 2009, Ivy Rose is made up of Martina San Diego on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Sarah De Leon on lead guitar, Isabelle De Leon on drums, and Kristine De Leon on bass. What inspired their music? Perhaps it was their attendance of the 2009 Vans Warped Tour...or, just like the story that is continually told, a hummingbird flying by on a summer day invoked the muse in all of them. Nonetheless, contributing each of their talents and creative ingenuity, they establish a sweet rock sound that sometimes takes a darker edge. Their influences? There are many, such as The Cranberries, Meg & Dia, and Vedera, who inspire their sound, but others such as Muse, The Cure, and Hotspur who inspire them to make music. In addition, each member also has her own influences who inspire her as a musician. Coming together one memorable summer day, who would've thought they could finish their debut album "This Adventure" so fast? In their free time, they enjoy going to concerts, making skirts, eating, and being with friends and family.

DJ Lil'e on the Wheels of Steel
for the Closing reception Saturday
8pm-Midnight
Free

Black Cats Resident DJ Lil'e, aka Erin Myers, specializes in rare extended mixes and one-hit wonders whose names have been swallowed by time. Remember Flesh for Lulu, Kon Kan or Anything Box? But Lil'e does not sacrifice a solid dance floor just to showcase her extensive record collection.

Lil'e, 32, who started "Right Round" in 2002, focuses on skillful mixing, but she still finds a few moments of each song to step back from her mixer and do a little dancing herself. When she plays at other venues such as Felix or Saint-Ex, Lil'e strays far from the '80s, breaking out underground hip-hop, big beat and assorted electronica.
