Mandatory Recess

Mandatory Recess is a free-range, locally-sourced, hand-crafted cover band in Northern Virginia.  We love playing seriously good music for your enjoyment, and seriously hope to see you at our next show (where we have the best fans anywhere).

If we’re not riding unicorns through pastel colored rainbows while saluting rock trailblazers like JB and Nigel Tufnel, Mandatory Recess are busy playing awesome rock covers from the 70’s to today. From Tom Petty to Foo Fighters, and Doobie Brothers to Red Hot Chili Peppers, this four piece rock roller coaster will take you on a ride you won’t soon forget!
