Started in May 1999, Mousetrap is Washington DC's longest running and largest monthly indiepop dance party at the BLACK CAT. Mousetrap is dedicated to an aesthetic based on the classic britpop scene. Over the past 6 months Mousetrap has partnered up with other DJ nights around town to give you the absolute best indie this town has to offer. In May it's back to business, classic mousetrap stuff.
