I don't know about all that... Obviously neither cities are safe places to go. But I go to DC all over the place quite regularly and Baltimore on occasion and haven't had much trouble. For all the bands going there, it is well worth dealing with (though I imagine my tone would change if I was caught in a shootout walking to a concert). I haven't seen more than maybe a fight or two in all the times I've been there to see bands. Definitely never seen anyone pull a knife or a gun except for times I've been there looking for trouble and knowing full well what I was getting into.
Back on topic, Teen Dream continues in a great direction, I'm really digging it lately. Beach House are one of the best doing dream pop stuff these days in my opinion. Never fails to hold my attention and suck me in the whole way through.
