It's a quadruple showcase of locals this Saturday at the 9:30 Club, with NoVa's pop rockers Crash Boom Bang headlining and unveiling their new music video for the track "Save Me." Also joining them are DC electro hip-hop act ELIM, the unique soul infused dance project from DC's Adam E., and DC's Best of 2012 Emerging Artists submission winner Dance For the Dying.

And 9:30 Club wants to make sure you are there to dance your ass off to some killer local music. All you have to do is email us by 12 noon on Friday 2/8 and let us know what your favorite song is from any of the artists hitting that stage. Please include your first and last name for guest list requirements. The winner will be emailed back to confirm. Don't wanna risk missing out? There's still time to buy tickets before they sell out here! (photo by Jessica Edwards.)

Dance for the Dying describe their sound as "songs you could roller skate to on laser night." The DC based quartet combine the pop sensibility of 80's and 90's into heavy synths ending with a dance-rock outcome, as heard on their 2 EP's (S/T and Puzzles for the Traveler,) and their track "Echo" that was one of the Top 10 Songs of 2011 via DC 101's "Local Lix" program.

If local indie pop/rock and post-punk is what you crave on 4/20, then get ready to get your ears' munchies on at the Rock & Roll Hotel this Friday. The quadruple line-up features Dance for the Dying, who are about to set out on tour in May (this is their last hometown headliner before taking off.) The Silver Liners will be there too, who are currently in the studio working on new material. Also check out We Were Pirates who've recently released their second album Change. And Tomio will be kicking it all off, who are expecting their debut EP to be out this Fall.

It's all going down 4/20 @ Rock & Roll Hotel, Doors at 8 PM, $10.
