Marco Bailey, Spartaque, Jairo Uría, and Miss Manu

Though it was a fun time, it was not the Marco Bailey I have come to love and was hoping to see, nor the U Street Music Hall that has been my beloved weekend home. The attendance was shockingly low for an event at an iconic DC venue, headlining a pioneer of the dark techno craft. And while I love room to dance, I feel that the small, (mostly) unfamiliar, less-than-enthused crowd made the atmosphere and the DJ appear this way as well. It was a rare occurrence for both the venue and a performer of this caliber. I hope Marco comes back to DC soon, and pulls in the right crowd, so I can see and hear the real Mr. Bailey.
