Indie Kicks: Local Hip Hop Artist Debuts Record

Forget Natitude, it's time for some Raditude. There are few things better than hanging out with some friends and seeing live music, but with so many shows all over the city it's tough to know what'll be good. Don't worry, we have you covered.

Check out Indie Kicks every Thursday for our rundown of who's coming to the DC area in the coming months.

This weekend:

• Saturday - Cheyne, an up-and-coming DC hip-hop artist, will be celebrating the release of Firebreather, his new EP, at DC9. The show is only $8 and doors are at 9 p.m.
• Saturday - If you don't mind riding up to Baltimore, Teenage Bottlerocket is playing at The Ottobar. TBR is one of my favorite true skate punk bands around. They make me feel 15 again. The show is $12 and doors are at 7 p.m.
