DCist Sockets Interview

Valerie from DCist just posted an interview with me about Sockets Records... Wow, I talk a lot. Here's a snippet:

Most of the bands on Sockets are based out of D.C.. Do you think that music in this area is headed toward that experimental pop framework?

I think so. I think what's great about D.C. right now is there's a lot more sites getting calendars of things to do every single night. Which there wasn't really four or five years ago. So, there's a lot more opportunities to go out, but there's not as many people still. It's just not that big of a city sometimes. There are a lot of people who live in Virginia and Maryland who probably like this stuff, but just won't come in necessarily for a show. But, I think given the sort of excitement around D.C. being more of an arts/music/culture center is manifesting in stuff coming out. Bands are getting better. There's a lot more of a community around some of these bands, too.
