A two CD Set featuring live performances by six of the DC area's top alternative bands, recorded during the last days of the world-famous 9:30 Club at its crowded, decadent, smelly and totally lovable original location in Washington, DC. Featuring: Urban Verbs • Tiny Desk Unit • Mother May I • Insect Surfers • Tru Fax & the Insaniacs • Black Market Baby

Urban Verbs: Washington, D.C. art-poppers the Urban Verbs took most of their musical cues from early Talking Heads, which made sense, since lead singer Roddy Frantz was the brother of Heads drummer Chris Frantz. Additional members included Robert Goldstein (guitar), Danny Frankel (drums, ) Linda France, and Robin Rose. The quintet recorded two albums, 1980's Urban Verbs and 1981's Early Damage. -- Steve Huey, All Music Guide
