“THE SCENE: Fatback Most people aren’t as uptight as we are, and probably don’t need such lame excuses as “It’s summer!” to find a dance party and dance. Now that we’re ready to stop being lame, we hear Fatback at Dahlak — with its funk-and-soul vibe, it’s the very opposite of the Black Cat’s Mousetrap parties — is a great one to hit. Because it’s summer. Best part: It’s on the outskirts of the 18th Street Adams Morgan mayhem. And it’s free. 10 p.m. 1771 U St. NW. http://www.fatbackdc.com.”

This is how I prepare for fatback:

Hold On, We’re Coming…

May 30th, 2008

So, Washington Post’s Going Out Guru’s gave same love to Fatback:

Washington, D.C.: Me and my friends (25-30 y.o.) want to go out dancing on Friday night. We like R&B/hip hop (mostly old school), however we would like to avoid the frat-party and snotty club vibe. And a decent size dance floor would be nice and a crowd that actually dances, too (unlike the stand-around crowd at Marvin). Suggestions???

Rhome: Options are slim. Most dive-y and/or pageantry-free spots don’t have the music you’re looking for. If you’re willing to give up some hip-hop for funk you can try Wonderland or hold out a couple of weeks for the next Fatback. Would the chatocracy like to weigh in?

We’re starting something new in June and holding Fatback on Saturday–not Friday! Best recognize, because we want to see y’all come out and get down. Also, joing us this month is the one and only DJ KC. He will no doubt bring the jam goodness.

Ok. Saturday. June 14. 10pm. FATBACK. For real:

June Fatback
