The Aftershakes Return with Show at Epicure Café

By Linc Bradham

We’ve all been wanting for more live music since the pandemic began, and NoVA-based The Aftershakes are answering that call by coming back on the live circuit with an in-person show this Saturday, August 14, at 7 p.m. at Epicure Café in Fairfax, VA. Learn more here

Drawing on inspiration from many of the late 90’s and early 00’s alternative and nu-metal groups such as System of a Down, Incubus, and Disturbed, The Aftershakes are a fun, exciting, and energetic group that will get your blood flowing no matter what.

Says The Aftershakes’ Charlie Maybee,”While we [The Aftershakes] are most conveniently categorized as an alternative rock band, our music brings together a mix of punk, grunge, blues, and metal influences to create versatile and high-octane sound. With lyrics often inspired by speculative storytelling, socio-political commentary, and critical theory, it’s a sound that promises to shake listeners to their core.

He adds, “This show will be our first full gig since the onset of the pandemic, and the thing we’re most excited about is the friends we’ll be sharing the stage with. There will be some poignant, folky satire from Daughter Theresa and Lava Flw will be bringing electronic, indie beats. It’s going to be an awesome night with an eclectic range of high-energy music!”

There you have it. This is not a show to be missed. If you’re anywhere around the DMV tomorrow, head over to Epicure Café for a tight-knit and well-arranged assortment of exciting genre-bending music with The Aftershakes and special guests Daughter Theresa and Lava Flw.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
