Mekons @ The Black Cat, Washington DC

:: September 22, 2002 ::

[scroll down for photos]

The Black Cat gig was the penultimate show of their 25th Anniversary Tour and most of the band looked tired after 5 New York-area performances in the previous 3 days. Sally looked especially weary and I was told that Jon hadn't slept for 2 days. But the group gave a solid show spanning their entire career -- and it was filmed by a crew from NYC-based Janus Films (for possible limited theatrical release, according to the Janus guy I chatted with).
