Some operators of these small venues don’t realize they’re subject to the guidelines established by the Americans With Disabilities Act. (For more on this, check out Kerr’s piece.) On top of that, many of them don’t publicize whether or not they’re accessible.

Showgoer and record label owner Sean Gray has a partial solution to that problem: Make a list of D.C.’s accessible venues. He’s started a new Tumblr called “Is This Venue Accessible?”

“I have a disability and going to shows (DIY or otherwise) has been something I’ve been doing for half of my life now,” Gray writes on the blog. “But because of the lack of accessibility in some of these venues and/or the lack of information, I have been unable to experience many shows as well.” In an email, he points to two recent shows—last night’s Select DC-booked gig at Back Alley Theater and tonight’s Coke Bust show at The Pinch—as prime examples.

“Maybe if there’s actual data, people will care,” Gray writes.

Gray is asking the public to send information about venue accessibility to Contact.ITVA@gmail.com. Got a favorite venue you know is accessible? One that isn’t? Let him know.

Here’s the beginning of Gray’s D.C. venue list, including detailed information on accessibility for ground floors, upper floors and bathrooms. The nascent list includes big clubs like Rock & Roll Hotel and 9:30 Club. Gray hopes to eventually add information about underground music spaces, too, particularly because those are the ones most likely to be inaccessible.

On Facebook, a Belgian record label called Pure Impact posted an invitation to the now-moved show. That record label doesn’t make a secret of its white-supremacist bent: It’s described in Google search results as a “record label specializing in music and bands with a white race pride theme,” and it sells recordings by bands affiliated with the white-power Rock Against Communism movement. Offensive Weapon, which is from New York, released its self-titled record on Pure Impact and Crowbar Records. It also released a split 7-inch record with a group whose fans have been photographed giving Nazi salutes at their shows.

It’s not clear whether or not Offensive Weapon identifies as a neo-fascist band. When asked via email to clarify its views, the group did not respond. Previously, Offensive Weapon’s vocalist has been pictured wearing a T-shirt that says “ANTI ANTIFA,” a statement against the international anti-fascist network.

On its Facebook page Wednesday, the band posted, “THIS SATURDAY IN WASHINGTON DC. DESPITE THE LEFTIES BEST EFFORTS THE SHOW IS GOING ON AS PLANNED. MESSAGE FOR DETAILS.” Pinch co-owner Carlos Eyster did not return a request for comment. But another individual with knowledge of the show says the Pinch canceled the event because its operators became concerned that Offensive Weapon could present a problem for the venue. (Though the band has played D.C. before, at a bar on 9th Street NW.)

Some of the other acts on Saturday’s bill—including The Wolverines and Lonewolf—publicly describe themselves as “patriotic.”

According to Brooklyn Vegan, Offensive Weapon played a show at New York’s Acheron last year that prompted the venue to later apologize.
