His aesthetic and music are very much an embodiment of who he is: mercurial, experimental, and an utter enigma. His look of choice is beneath layers and layers of linen and cotton, with kohl-rimmed eyes piercing beyond a hood. The bleak synths are what make the modern Numan. On his latest album, Savage, Numan takes the keys from another hit- вЂњM.E.вЂќ-and infuses each track with a bleak and alien pulsating, underneath vocal lovelorn and apprehensive notes. artistвЂ™s works have impressed the likes of Prince, Trent Reznor, Foo Fighters, and rhythmic rockers Queens of the Stone Age, making his music essential listening and his live sets essential viewing. Saturday: Gary NumanвЂ™s presence goes far beyond the new wave synth-pop genre he helped pioneer in the вЂ™70s and вЂ™80s with the massive hit вЂњCars.вЂќ The U.K. $25.ДЇriday: Local rapper Rico Nasty performs at U Street Music Hall.

Dudes may not give a fuck, but you should give a fuck about Dudes. More likely, it just seemed like a fun thing to do. But considering DudesвЂ™ songs, like Greatest HitsвЂ™ anthemic closer, вЂњDonвЂ™t GiveвЂќ (of which most of the lyrics are вЂњI donвЂ™t give a fuckвЂќ), itвЂ™s likely that there wasnвЂ™t much sentimentality put into the decision to reunite. Each of DudesвЂ™, er dudes, have gone on to bigger and brighter things musically, but this one-night-only reunion is an apt reminder of some of their humble beginnings.

But the band built its reputation through their unpredictable live shows. ItвЂ™s eight tracks of lo-fi freakouts that kick out the jams better than MC5 couldвЂ™ve ever hoped to. How does a band secure their own legacy, even if they were around for only a few months? Dudes, the short-lived garage punk band consisting of HotheadвЂ™s Laurie Spector, BlessвЂ™ Luke Reddick, and Chain and the GangвЂ™s Francy Graham, did it through their only release, the aptly-and snottily-titled Greatest Hits. Sometimes a bandвЂ™s lifespan is eight months. In the vast history of D.C.вЂ™s ever-fruitful music scene, bands come and go.
