MaDCap

On July 4th, we present a history lesson/jam session with A Tribe Called Red. Bear Witness, DJ NDN & DJ Shub are Indigenous producers who flipped traditional PowWow music with electronic sounds, creating a powerful style all their own. Dan & David caught up with ATCR on 14th & U Street in Washington DC before their show at Tropicalia. As is our style, this show is packed with music, but it's much more than a jukebox piece. Topics of discussion include the 1968 riots, Canada's Indigenous civil rights struggle and native lessons for achieving harmony with the earth.

maDCap is back in action at this year's AFI DOCS festival, and we'll kick off our coverage with our annual visit with American Film Institute President & CEO Bob Gazzale. We spoke with Bob at the gala opening where the film "Holbrook/Twain: An American Odyssey" was screened. We asked our friend Molly Martinez to speak with the film's subject Hal Holbrook and he got a little turnt.

At this year's @Moogfest, maDCap was privileged to spend time with Baltimore-based musician @Dan-Deacon, a man who personifies the festival's vision of colliding artistry, technology and innovation. We spoke with Deacon about his upbringing, musical training, memorable stage shows and the future of art, technology and political activism.

Then, 'Welcome to Deathfest' is a fantastic new documentary directed, edited and produced by our guest Tom Grahsler. It's about the largest independent Heavy Metal and extreme music festival in the United States, 'Maryland Death Fest,' which takes place just up the road in Baltimore. The film is a real-life drama, a study in do-it-yourself entrepreneurship, and a stereotype-busting view into an often misunderstood culture.

Chromeo is a phenomenal electro-funk duo comprised of Dave 1 and P-Thugg. maDCap caught up with David Macklovitch backstage at Sweetlife Festival and discussed his upbringing in Montreal, Chromeo's inspirations and their new album 'White Women.'

In the second half of this week's episode, we chat with Bill Kennedy, a staff writer on the Emmy-award winning Netflix original series, House of Cards. Created by Beau Willimon and starring Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright, the show is a powerful dramatic series that "reveals the dirty" of Washington politics. As the show heads into its third season, Kennedy gives us a healthy aperture into their writer's room and walks us through his own writing process.

On Saturday, May 3, history will be made yet again in the U Street neighborhood of Washington DC. A one-of-a kind participatory parade and music festival is descending on the funkiest part of our Nation's Capital, and we have local-boy-made-good Justin Rood to thank for it. Three dozen musical acts will fill eleven free performance areas during the day, leading up to a parade down V Street from 5-7 PM, and from 7 until late into the night, local music venues like U Street Music Hall, Tropicalia, DC9, Twins Jazz Club and Patty Boom Boom will offer free performances. maDCap took a drive with Justin Rood and heard all about the Funk Parade while driving along Saturday's route. Then, maDCap took Asheville, North Carolina by storm for the 2014 edition of Moogfest. We recorded interviews with @YACHT, The Egyptian Lover, @ZedsDead, Adeline Michèle of @Escort-Records and @Dan-Deacon. In this review show you'll hear about our exploits in Asheville and clips from the interviews we recorded.
