The club's name is derived from its original street address, 930 F St, NW, even though it has since moved to a larger venue at 815 V St, NW. The name refers to the address of the building in which the club was originally located, also known as the Bond Building. Since the early 1980s, the 9:30 Club has been known as a progressive venue noted for its talent in discovering up-and-coming acts. Most famous for using the old 9:30 Club is the hardcore punk crowd based around Dischord Records and then-local bands such as Minor Threat, Fugazi and Government Issue.
The original venue was also noted for its distinctive odor. Hence, its popular nick-name: "The Dirty 30."
Tiny Desk Unit was the first and last band to play the original location 9:30 Club (although The Fleshtones from New York were the first band to be booked)[1].
After extensive remodeling, the former WUST Radio Music Hall at 815 V St. opened January 5, 1996, as the 9:30, with a show by Smashing Pumpkins[2].

The original 9:30 Club was in the Atlantic Building, not the Bond Building. | ||||
