Double Dagger Reunion Weekend, October 15th & 16th

Ten years after their final tour, storied Baltimore post-punk trio Double Dagger are reuniting for two back-to-back shows in Baltimore this fall. The shows coincide with the release of Sophisticated Urban Living (Contemporary Conveniences Edition), a collection of rare and unreleased Double Dagger recordings from 2008. The band’s music feels just as visceral and urgent today as it did when it was first written. Misguided development, social stratification, and the whole range of modern maladies highlighted in Double Dagger's songs have only become more acute since the trio disbanded in 2011. As always, though, the band aims to make these shows joyfully cathartic and a hopeful counterpoint to the anxieties of the moment. If we shout loud enough, they can't turn out the lights.
