Eight Gigs: Bellygunner
Mon., Dec. 21, 8 p.m., Press Club, $5
'Tis the season for bands, booze and a kickass welcome to the winter solstice. This four-tiered event features the pop-rock stylings of Bellygunner; the multilayered, indie-rock magic conjured by the Royal Jelly (pictured) and Be Brave Bold Robot; and finally the psych/folk tones of Honyock. Together, this group of musicians invites one and all out of the cold and into a warm evening of music, those notorious Press Club tall cans and promises that Santa just might be in attendance. Yet, it's up to you to decide if his lap is worth sitting on. Be brave, bold showgoers. 2030 P Street, www.facebook.com/bellygunnermusic.
