If you were a music fan in the DMV in the 90s, you eagerly awaited the annual reveal of the lineup for the HFStival, a music event held at RFK Stadium each summer from 1993 to 2004. Sponsored by the late, lamented WHFS, which carried the banner for alternative rock in the Nation's Capital until it abruptly changed formats to Latino music, the HFStival rapidly became a must-play stop on the summer schedules of some of the biggest bands of the era. Everyone from Foo Fighters to Green Day to INXS to The Ramones to Run D.M.C. to Eminem to The Roots to Tony Freaking Bennett took the RFK stage.
And now, courtesy of 9:30 Club owner I.M.P., 90s kids are gonna get a chance to relive some of the great musical memories of their teens and twenties, right down to appearances by Violent Femmes, Bush, Jimmy Eat World, and Garbage. On September 21, HFStival 2024 rises like Gutter on a weed high and returns triumphantly at Nationals Park.

ReplyDeleteQuick pivot, non-PCU, pre-U.S. Open nuggets: Since the beginning of March, Scottie Scheffler has played eight tournaments; he's won five and finished no worse than T-8; he's an aggregate 106 under-par in his last 32 rounds; he's pocketed $21,584,000 in the past four months. Also, in 51 tournament rounds all year, he's shot over par just four times. Seems good.
ReplyDeleteusmnt had played 19 matches against brazil before tonight, winning one(!) and losing 18. and tonight, we tied! and we stood toe to toe with a strong brazil side. not gonna go as far as to say we were the better side, but we had more good chances to score, for sure. that's a solid bounceback after a brutal loss to colombia over the weekend. on to cincinnati.
