Pure Perfection at the Market Lounge
Market Lounge, 1309 5th Street NE, Washington, DC 20002

I went to the Market Lounge to see Unity Band, but they ended up not performing there yet.

Sounds of Pure Perfection
The line up (all male) was:
Frontline: talker/lead singer, backup singer, trumpet player (white dude), cowbell player
Backline: 2 keyboard players, drummer, percussionist
The lead talker keep chanting, "Let the beat work." I recognized from their set: Jill Scott's He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat), Opening to Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra (also known as the 2001 Theme), Men Without Hats' Safety Dance, and Lil Boosie & Webbie's Wipe Me Down
They were pretty raw, but entertaining - they cranked and played primarily congas.
They had a crowd of about 15 or so people.

I left for Mirrors at about 11:15
