Last night I met my Bulgarian tutor I. and her J. and a couple of their friends after work for a drink. Then we headed over to the club Blender (under NDK)  to listen to some music.

I hate to admit this but I've listened to very little live music while in Sofia (well, really almost none). In DC, going to clubs like the 9:30 club and the Black Cat was a pretty regular habit. Sure it helped that I lived in the neighborhood but I made time to do it. So when I. invited me to go along, I figured it was about time that I made time to enjoy some live music and frankly that I am glad I did.

Blender was hosting two groups the band Oratnitza featuring Kipri and the DJ-musician Kottarashky. In full disclosure  I'd never heard of either group before being invited to the event.
