930 F Street

930 F Street

On May 30, 1980, music history was made with the opening of the 9:30 Club in the Atlantis building in Washington, DC. Post-punk jazz Lounge Lizards and local new wave band Tiny Desk Unit headlined the opening show, then located at the downtown address that gave it its name, 930 F Street, NW. Since then, the club has moved locations and has become one of the top ticket-selling venues in the country. Local documentary filmmakers Tarik Dahir and Jeff Gaul pay tribute to the club’s roots, telling the story of the 9:30 Club through interviews with the artists, promoters, and staff who made up its vibrant subculture.
