"We want to know: Why? What happened?" So many questions, so much we still don't know about the case of the woman shot to death by the Secret Service and the U.S. Capitol Police on Oct. 3, 2013, after a car chase from the White House to Capitol Hill. Her 13-month-old daughter survived in a car seat. Read full article >>
U.S. military will use psych evals, stress tests to screen Syrian rebels for trainingMissy Ryan
The U.S. military will subject Syrian rebels taking part in a new training program to psychological evaluations, biometrics checks and stress tests under a screening plan that goes well beyond the steps the United States normally takes to vet foreign soldiers, a sign of the risks the Obama administration faces as it expands support for armed groups in Syria.

Retailers adjust as lines between in-store and digital shopping blurSarah Halzack
The scenes at major retailers have become a Thanksgiving Day ritual: Long lines, packed parking lots and shopping carts filled to the brim with bargain TVs and gaming consoles. But while the clamor may look the same, retailers are facing a new reality this year as they kick off the holiday shopping season: The customers visiting their stores often started browsing long before they showed up, and for many, their actual purchase will happen long after.

A homeless man asks for someone to share Thanksgiving with — and thousands step upSusan Svrluga
It started with the loneliest of pleas: "Large, 54 y.o. Christian, homeless male is looking for a person, family or couple to share Thanksgiving day with," Neal Shytles wrote in an online ad. Last year he spent the holiday at a shelter, and although probably 200 other men were there eating turkey, "you sit down, you eat, you get up and leave," he said. "Every day of the year is pretty much lonely for me, but Thanksgiving, Christmas is the worst time to be alone." Read full article >>

Editorial: Thankful for what mattersEditorial Board
THANKSGIVING IS a good time for putting things in perspective. Bill Mauldin did that in a wartime drawing from Europe 70 years ago that carried a message which still touches us. Mr. Mauldin was a soldier and combat cartoonist (recipient of the Purple Heart) serving with the 45th Infantry Division in its long, bloody progress through Italy. Along the way, he created the characters who were to personify the reality of the war for millions of Americans. They were Willie and Joe — two unshaven, disheveled, perpetually exhausted enlisted men, pushed to the brink by combat and by the suffering of soldiers and civilians, but determined to see the thing through and keep their sanity and humanity.

Gun sales shoot up on Black FridayKai Jackson Il y a 2 heures
CHANTILLY, Va. (WJLA) – Black Friday isn't only about buying the usual items, like clothing and electronics; across the country, gun sales have become big business after Thanksgiving. For Blue Ridge Arsenal gun store and range in Chantilly, the sale of firearms is an up-and-down business. "Black Friday sales do have a tendency to pick up a little bit," said employee Mark Warner. "A lot of people are out there shopping with family and friends, and they want to find a good deal." Just like retail sales, there are apparently good deals on firearms. It's estimated that 145,000 guns and rifles were sold legitimately on Black Friday last year. With a growing number of gun crimes, including mass shootings, the FBI is concerned about the high volume of sales and its ability to process requests. States and the federal government are trying to keep up and keep weapons out of the hands of criminals and those with mental illnesses. The FBI says 186,000 weapons are sold each year that don't get a thorough background check of the sale. Law enforcement believes that puts the public in danger. "I think they're warranted. I think it's important to make sure that everyone's protected against people who shouldn't have weapons," said Melissa Melzer. Headlines across the country where firearms are used are well documented, but the staff at Blue Ridge Arsenal points out that the vast majority of gun owners are law-abiding citizens. Blue Ridge Arsenal says many of its customers shoot simply for sport. "They're recreational; they're a great training tool," Warner said. "It's like playing golf. You get a hold in one, you're happy as can be. Come to the gun range, you get a bull's-eye, you're still happy." "It's great. It's a very nice place to come; everyone's friendly here and we have a great time," Melzer said.

D.C. protestors join thousands in nationwide Walmart strikes for higher pay, full-time workJohn Gonzalez
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – Walmart workers and some union groups backing them protested across the country in their largest Black Friday demonstration ever. They're calling on Walmart—and its owners, the Waltons—to commit to paying $15 an hour, and providing full-time work and fair schedules. The timing is no coincidence; on what is the busiest shopping day of the year, many Walmart employees were on strike. Tensions escalated quickly as protestors tried to enter the Walmart on H Street NW; they clashed with D.C. police and the doors were temporarily shut down. Some shoppers complained the protestors got in the way of their Black Friday shopping. "We really don't appreciate that. I don't think that was nice at all," one woman said. "We couldn't even get out of the store," another shopper added. "We don't even know what [the protest] is about." Touted as the largest Black Friday mobilization ever, calls are intensifying for the Waltons to commit to a pay raise and provide full-time work. "You can't even get an apartment for part time with $8. It's just hard to even survive," said Walmart employee Laura Battles. Nationwide, workers and their supporters planned more than 1,600 such strikes at Walmart stores on Black Friday. The mega-retailer currently brings in $16 billion in annual profits. Most Walmart workers say they make less than $25,000 a year. Are these workers unfairly putting a stronghold on their employer? Ernest Reed is a worker who isn't protesting. "I make a great living wage at Walmart," he said. The Walmart CEO has said only 6,000 of the 1.4 million employees are paid minimum wage. "Walmart has afforded me the opportunity that many other companies have not," Reed said. "I'm 62 years old; I'll be 63 in April."
Rotary Club of West Springfield ensures needy military families enjoy a Thanksgiving mealJay Korff
SPRINGFIELD, Va. (WJLA) – Go to any food bank in the area, and you'll see the need; people are struggling to put food on the table this holiday season, including those who fight for our freedom. Thanksgiving is when we cherish the bounty and reflect upon all we have. With more than 40 years of military service between them, friends Rick Cernohorsky and Pam Campbell know full well the measure of sacrifice. That's why as members of the Rotary Club of West Springfield, they donate and pack up a holiday spread for the needy every year. "We are so blessed we want to give back," Cernohorsky said. "This is one of our popular events is packing food to give to people who are less fortunate than us." "Last year we did 24 boxes. This year we did 43, because there's an even greater need in this area to support the military," Campbell added. The boxes Cernohorsky and Campbell helped pack are bound for military families at nearby Fort Belvoir. "It is amazing what little they make for giving up their lives for their nation," Cernohorsky said. In fact, base pay for the lowest-ranking active duty soldier in America is around $18,000. Add a couple of children to the mix, and that family falls below the poverty line. Many Rotary Club members believe the people who risk their lives to defend the nation deserve more. "We just gotta do better for our military," Cernohorsky said. Mary Smallenburg picked up her box a few days before Thanksgiving at the Lorton Community Action Center. Now she has what she needs to make a memorable Thanksgiving meal for her military family. "My family and I have been coming to the Lorton Community Action Center now for four years," she said. "It means quite a bit. We don't need to let the kids know that we're hurting financially; things just go on as usual." "Living in a community like ours that's very expensive, they have needs. So, we're hoping that this makes their life a little bit better, at least for a couple of days," Cernohorsky concluded.

Only on 7: Prince George's County teacher reunites with her Thanksgiving heroes who saved her lifeJoce Sterman
UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WJLA) – Brittney Carlson has waited years to give thanks to man who saved her life three years on Thanksgiving. To Carlson, Andre Matlock is an angel on earth. "See I can run now, stand—all thanks to you," said Carlson to Matlock when the two were finally reunited. On a Thanksgiving morning three years ago along a stretch of Watkins Park Drive in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Matlock helped save Carlson life after she was involved in a car accident. Her car had been hit and it was badly damaged— so was she. Broken bones all over her body left Carlson trapped in the car. "That's when I saw the flames under my car and I was like I gotta get out of here, but Irealized my leg wasn't working," said Carlson. But as her car burned, Matloc .and another man pulled Carlson to safety. "Everything happened so fast. It was just a reaction. I'd do it again for someone else," said Matlock. What Matlock did was save her life. And on Thursday, Carlson gave thanks to Matlock for his actions. – "When someone saves your life, saying thank you doesn't explain it. I can't explain the thanks i have for you in my heart," said Carlson. and with hearts full and wounds healed...this pair is meeting again. closure - a holiday gift....for both of them. "To see her, how she is today, that's another blessing," said Matlock.

3 men caught on camera robbing NW D.C. apartmentMike Conneen
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – Thousands of dollars worth of valuables were stolen from a D.C. apartment this week and it was all caught on video. The burglary happened around noon on Wednesday in the 1100 block of Euclid Ave. in northwest D.C. In a video released by the victim, Tommy Rossman, three men can be seen breaking into the apartment and searching for items. The suspects stole watches, laptops and other electronics, including the camera that recorded them breaking into the apartment. "So even though they took the camera with them, I still have the video in the cloud and I was able to give it to the police," said Rossman. Thanks to the clear and quality footage from the camera, D.C. police seemed confident that they would find the suspects. This was the second time Rossman's apartment was burglarized in the two years he's lived in the Euclid Street apartment building. Rossman said he installed reinforced locks on his door for extra security to avoid being robbed again and purchased a motion-detecting drop camera. "It's scary because it could happen to anybody," said Amari Yarbrough, one of Rossman's neighbors. Among the items stolen was an iPad that Rossman said had a tracking app. Police were able to find three locations the suspects visited after they left thanks to the app. Rossman said he was out running errands when the burglary happened and that may have saved his life. "So if I would have walked in that door, what would he have done with that?" Rossman said of a crowbar one of the suspects is seen holding in the video. "Overall, I'm definitely feeling thankful. I mean I'm here. Stuff is gone. It can be replaced. Safety is first and foremost," said Rossman.

Fairfax County Police?s Christmas Anti-Theft Team targets retail thievesRachel Schaerr
FAIRFAX, Va. (NewsChannel 8) – If you're planning on hitting the shopping malls this Black Friday, some undercover police officers may be watching. Every year, the Fairfax County Police Department launches a special operation during the holidays called the Christmas Anti-Theft Team, or CATT Team. The 25 officers receive specialized training to combat seasonal crimes like larceny, fraud and retail theft. An uptick in shopping-related crimes attributed to Metro's new Silver Line could make this the team's busiest year yet. "We've seen an increase in larcenies, shopliftings, credit card theft and fraud cases," said Lt. Charles Riddle. During last year's 26-day holiday shopping period, the Christmas Anti-Theft Team arrested 72 people, charged more than 107 felonies, 108 misdemeanors and recovered $46,817 worth of stolen property. "They have specialized training in how to find shoplifters, how to discretely observe people in the mall," explained Public Information Officer Lacy Caldwell. Caldwell says they'll also be looking for organized crime rings that target shopping malls during this time of year. The biggest sign: large groups of people traveling together and stealing merchandise. "If they don't see a uniform, it doesn't mean we're not there," Caldwell added.

Hopkins House provides elite preschool education for low-income familiesLeon Harris
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WJLA) – A local nonprofit that started out as a small nursery school 75 years ago has grown into a nationally recognized early care and education center. Through its three preschool academies, Hopkins House now serves more than 400 children and their families in Northern Virginia. It's a typical day at McNeil Preschool Academy in Alexandria, where children are having fun playing outside. In the classroom, they're learning Spanish. McNeil is one of three early learning centers that make up Hopkins House. Spanish, music and computers are just some of the things that set the Hopkins House academies apart from other preschools. "We've got all those things that wealthy families can afford, but yet it's at a price that's affordable to the low-resource families," said Hopkins House President Glenn Hopkins. Hopkins, who is not related to the namesake schools, likes to call Hopkins House the "Harvard of preschools." "We want to set a standard," he said. "I believe every child should have only one option—that option should be quality." But Hopkins House isn't just educating children; parents play an active role and gain valuable skills by participating in the classroom. Teachers are challenged to grow and required to continue their learning. William Vanover, who co-teaches in the pre-kindergarten class, says it's rewarding to watch the children grow. "To know that I've had just a small part in the journey that they're going to continue on throughout the rest of their life, that's always been what it's been about for me," he said. "We want our kids here who graduate to do spectacular things in life, and those are the expectations we have," Hopkins said. Hopkins House hopes to serve as an example and inspire other early childhood learning centers to make an impact in their communities.
Let?s talk turkey: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline answers your Thanksgiving cooking questionsKevin Lewis
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – The USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline fields 80,000 calls a year from citizens worried about the safety of their meat, poultry and eggs. Not surprisingly, November is the hotline's busiest month. ABC 7 News spoke with the information specialists who answer the calls. Many people run into problems, they say, when trying to find shortcuts to traditional cooking methods – trying to thaw the turkey too quickly or cook it too quickly. "They want to cook the turkey and then drive five hours and serve it there, hot, " says technical information specialist Marianne Gravely. "Or, they want to save time, so they want to cook it a little bit every day and then finish it off on Thanksgiving. Sometimes they take something easy and make it complicated." Tina Hanes, the team lead, described one woman who scrubbed her turkey clean, inside and out, with a scouring pad. She wondered if the turkey, with scouring pad wires still in it, was safe to eat. "I would say no," Hanes said. "We had to condemn that turkey." The job can be tough when talking to less fortunate callers, says technical information specialist Clara Yuvienco. "It's very difficult to have to tell them to throw the food way, when I know that they don't have enough resources to buy additional quantities of new food," she said. The staff says they recognize the importance of this holiday meal to many families. Says Gravely, "Maybe somebody else has been hosting this meal for years, and it's finally their turn." For those with last-minute problems, the hotline is open Thanksgiving Day, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. EST. Click here for a link to the USDA's Top Turkey resources.

Consumer Alert: Real estate investment scam unraveledAutria Godfrey
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – It sounded like the perfect investment opportunity: Buy distressed properties, renovate them and flip them for a profit. But the plan unraveled, and investors lost millions. Investors thought they were buying into newly renovated apartments with pools and sculpted gardens and the promise of a handsome return once they were sold. Postal inspectors say Thomas Evans solicited very wealthy investors to help bankroll various real estate project. "He was buying distressed properties, he was going to renovate the units, hopefully have them leased and sell the property at a profit for the investors," said U.S. Postal Inspector Jojan Henderson. While recruiting investors, Evans was also taking out construction loans to begin the renovations. But the project soon hit a snag. "At some point, he started realizing he wasn't going to be able to sell the apartments at enough of an income to support his debt," Henderson said. Instead of telling investors, authorities say Evans chose to falsify documents. If investors asked questions, he simply lied. "At some point, the investors weren't sure what was going on," Henderson said. "They went to visit the properties, and they were in a horrible state of disrepair. The renovations he promised them were not getting done, and there was no way he was getting the occupancy rate." More than 50 victims lost millions of dollars. "They lost all of their investment because the property went into foreclosure," Henderson said. Evans pleaded guilty to charges in the case. He was sentenced to 14 years in prison and ordered to pay $12 million in restitution to investors.

Charlie Methven says the first priority of his consortium, should they take over Oxford United, would be to clear the debt and invest in the playing squad.
Although it would appear Methven's group of Oxfordshire businessmen may not be front-runners to take over the U's, they yesterday made their intentions clear after submitting a formal offer for the club.
A rival consortium headed by Mark Ashton and Darryl Eales is understood to be in advanced talks with United owner Ian Lenagan.
Methven was philosophical about what may happen, but said his group – which was given a huge boost with the backing of wealthy businessman and United fan Stewart Donald – had a clear strategy.
"Ultimately, what will be will be," he said.
"But our bid comes from people whose commitment to the club is unquestionable.
"The final decision is entirely up to Ian Lenagan, but he has always said that he will do what's best for Oxford United and its supporters.
"We believe that if we were successful, our plan would ensure that happens."
Central to any takeover would be the U's owning their ground, but investment into the playing side is also crucial.
Methven added: "We do not believe Oxford United should be saddled with any debt.
"It is a business turning over £3.5m a year, so the first thing would be to make sure it is debt free.
"We would inject a significant amount into the playing side of the club in order to deliver a squad that we believe could justify expectations of achieving.
"It could be that we invest £3m of equity into the playing side over the next two years.
"We would obviously discuss with the manager what needs to be done, but with the club losing £1m a year, those figures would mean that around £500,000 could be added to the playing budget for each season."
As revealed in yesterday's Oxford Mail, there is potential to move the club to a new site at Water Eaton.
This is the preferred outcome for Methven, but he would not rule out staying at the Kassam Stadium.
"What is clear is that Oxford United must own their own stadium," he said.
"There are two options for this.
"One is to acquire the Kassam Stadium, and it would be no disaster if this happened.
"However, we believe that Water Eaton presents a huge opportunity."
The support of Donald, whose Bridle Insurance company were United's shirt sponsors from 2010-13, provided Methven's consortium with a huge lift.
"The backing of the Donald family is immense," Methven commented.
"They are massive Oxford United fans who have given us their commitment.
"They have the finances and have agreed to help us."
Since first going public with their interest last week, Methven confirmed that no further discussions had taken place with Lenagan, who is still refusing to break his silence.
"I don't take this as a negative because any discussions would need a firm, factual basis.
"But we now have this."

OMB competitive sourcing report
"White House: Agencies moving beyond management basics"
"Agencies march ahead with new A-76"
The Bush administration has scrapped governmentwide goals for opening hundreds of thousands of federal jobs to competition with commercial firms, attempting to end an impasse with Congress that threatened to stall work on the fiscal 2004 budget.
As part of the President's Management Agenda, the Bush administration pushed agencies to give the private sector an opportunity to compete for at least 15 percent of the jobs that they had identified as being commercial in nature, as required by the Federal Activities Inventory Reform (FAIR) Act.
In recent weeks, though, several members had proposed amendments to appropriations and authorization bills that would block agencies from competing jobs. They cited, among other issues, the administration's use of "arbitrary quotas."
Although the Bush administration has responded with veto threats, officials are also attempting to alleviate at least that particular concern.
Testifying July 24 before a congressional panel, Angela Styles, administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, said the administration has eliminated the governmentwide goals from the management agenda criteria.
The Office of Management and Budget had already been working with agencies to set their goals, some falling well below 15 percent and some far above, Styles told the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee's Oversight of Government Management, the Federal Workforce and the District of Columbia Subcommittee.
It was clear that with so many exceptions, the rule was not necessary, she said. "We don't want a number, something distracting from what we want to do," Styles said. "We don't want a number to make this controversial."
Subcommittee Chairman Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio), who held the hearing because of the concerns about the administration's initiative, praised the decision to officially drop the goals as "a significant change."
"At this point, the percentages really become irrelevant," said Stan Soloway, president of the Professional Services Council and a member of the Commercial Activities Panel, the group that developed the recommendations for revising the competition process outlined in OMB Circular A-76. "Regardless of where one stood on the percentage issue, it was clearly seen in many quarters as problematic," Soloway said.
But members of the subcommittee say they still have problems with the competitive sourcing initiative, such as federal agencies' ability to conduct effective public/private competitions. Many members of Congress are also concerned about the anxiety of federal employees who could lose their jobs.
"No one disputes the importance of a government that is both cost-effective and accountable, [but] as agencies make their contracting decisions, we should ask what impact will outsourcing have on the federal workforce," said Sen. Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii).
The two major federal employee unions, which submitted testimony but did not appear before the subcommittee, were also concerned that, under the A-76 revision, work kept in-house could be subject to future competition, creating a permanent state of unease.
But David Walker, comptroller general of the General Accounting Office and head of the Commercial Activities Panel, said that a stipulation was necessary. An agency that wins a competition would have to recompete the work only if the organization was not performing. That is a performance standard to which all federal employees should be held, Walker said.
Not all anxiety is warranted, Styles said at the hearing. Every position listed by agencies as commercial in nature under the FAIR Act will not be automatically competed, she said. In fact, more than half of those positions have been designated as closed to competition because, even though they could be performed by the private sector, the agencies feel they need to stay in-house.
The showdown between the White House and Congress is not over. If Congress does not remove amendments attached to several appropriations bills — including the Interior Department bill in the House and the Defense Department bill in the Senate — that would permanently prohibit agencies from competing work, then the veto remains an option, Styles said.

JUDAS PRIEST, MAVERIK CENTER, Tuesday, Nov. 18, 7:30 p.m., $39.50-$59.50
I can recommend this show using a couple of different lines of thinking. The first one is the most obvious — Judas Priest are true rock 'n' roll legends, old-school heavy metal guys who have been plying their sound since the '70s. And it's a sound that's instantly recognizable, thanks to the band's twin guitars and lead singer Rob Halford's distinct howl — they don't call him the Metal God for nothing. Another reason to go is that the band actually has a new album this year, Redeemer of Souls, so this isn't just another oldies metal band on the road; the Priest is out there with new songs. Of course, you'll still hear all the classics like "Breaking the Law" and "Living After Midnight." Some might quibble that it's not the "classic" Priest lineup since guitarist K.K. Downing in 2011, but it's sure to still be a raucous good time. Steel Panther opens the show.
RUN THE JEWELS, THE URBAN LOUNGE, Monday, Nov. 17, 9 p.m., $20
The hip-hop duo made up of El-P and Killer Mike is doing things altogether differently when it comes to their career, and it's working perfectly. Both men are insanely creative entities in their own right, capable of busting out solo albums, but together their powers are magnified, as evidenced by the two excellent albums they've released so far. The tunes are sparse, with El-P providing production that is in turns harrowing, buoyant or mind-boggling. The same goes for Killer Mike's lyrical flow, a rapid-fire stream of thoughts and verbal salvos that is a blast to listen to — on repeat. Ratking and Despot open the show. They also approach the business side of music in a different way — both Run the Jewels' albums arrived via a free download, giving both hardcore fans and casual observers the chance to hear some of the best hip-hop of the year.
DAVID BAZAN AND THE PASSENGER STRING QUARTET, THE STATE ROOM, Monday, Nov. 17, 8 p.m., $21
David Bazan has one of the most distinct songwriting voices around, one that's remained unwavering in its ability to convey emotion even as the man himself suffered through personal and spiritual crises. Perhaps best known for his decade of leading Pedro the Lion, Bazan ditched that name years ago, releasing subsequent new music in his own name and under the Headphones moniker. His latest album teams Bazan with the classical experimentalists Passenger String Quartet, inspired by a one-night live collaboration a couple of years back. Duly impressed with the results, they hit the studio and recorded a set of songs spanning Bazan's career, creating a perfect melding of old and new. David Dondero opens the show, and should provide a perfect appetizer for Bazan's show.
THE WYTCHES, KILBY COURT, Thursday, Nov. 13, 7:30 p.m., $8
If you can find a tastier batch of psych-tinged garage-rock from a younger group of cats than The Wytches, I'd sure like to hear it. The English band's Annabel Dream Reader album, released in August, is a blast from a rock-y past, full of hooks and aggression. It's hard to imagine how these youngsters came to sound like some '60s crew straight off the Nuggets compilation, but so it goes. They met as students in college, and eventually formed a surf-rock sound that got the notice of Fat Possum records in the states, who released a single about a year ago. They signed with Partisan Records in the U.S. last winter to put out a full-length, and the glorious result was recorded in two days with former Coral guitarist Bill Ryder-Jones. If you're a fan of old Jesus and Mary Chain, this group could be for you. Max Pain and the Groovies open.
THE BLACK KEYS, MAVERIK CENTER, Wednesday, Nov. 12, 8 p.m., $30-$60
In an era when finding actual rock 'n' roll bands anywhere near the top of the charts is pretty much impossible, The Black Keys stand out. Thank God. the duo's evolution from a bluesy twosome into a more expansive, soulful rock and pop machine might be a turn-off to some long-time fans who still wish they were touring in a van and delivering reheating traditional blues riffs, but Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney have bigger ideas, and their albums have gotten better as they've explored those ideas. Collaborating with producer Danger Mouse on their most-recent release, Turn Blue, the Keys dig into some funk and psychedelia this time around, as wall as straightforward rock. It's the band's eighth full-length, and arguably their best, and should translate the large stage of the Maverik Center just fine. Jake Bugg opens the show.
DELTRON 3030, THE DEPOT, Monday, Nov. 10, 9 p.m., $20
Even though Deltron 3030 took more than a decade between album releases — 14 years to be exact — you've heard the members of the band in other projects, most notably as members and collaborators with animated supergroup Gorillaz. Producer Dan the Automator, rapper Del the Funky Homosapien and DJ Kid Koala all have healthy solo careers as well. But when they join up for the spaced-out tunes filling their self-titled 2000 album and last year's Event II, they deliver some music few would even think of as "hip-hop." It's funky, jazzy, and stretches out in all kinds of directions lyrically as Del raps about taking on intergalactic corporate overlords. Live, they trio adds live guitar, bass and drums to flesh out the tunes in most excellent ways. I just saw the band last week, and it was well worth checking out. Add in Kid Koala doing a masterful turntable set to open the show, and it's one excellent way to spend a Monday night.
WAMPIRE, THE GARAGE, Friday, Nov. 7, 9 p.m., $tba
Wampire songwriting duo Rocky Tinder and Eric Phipps didn't take much time to rest after touring for about a solid year after the release of their debut album, Curiosity, last year. Rather than relaxing and basking in the attention that album brought to their surreal brand of pop-rock, they jumped right back into the studio and started working on a new set of songs with producer Jacob Portait (of Unknown Mortal Orchestra) in Brooklyn. The songs on their new album, Bazaar, are a natural extension of their first, blending some insistent hooks with some off-kilter riffs and nods toward old pop tropes. The duo added some new blood to the recording process in touring drummer Thomas Hoganson, who also has skills on piano and sax. The expanded studio lineup certainly served Wampire well on Bazaar, and a touring version of the band will no doubt bring even more to the table when the band plays The Garage. Locals Color Animal and 90s Television are also on the bill.
