PHOTO ESSAY: BEESON W/ MANNEQUIN FIGHT @ Pie Shop 2/20
Coming from Utah for their first east coast tour, Beeson rocked pie shop with their indie-west born sound. The opener of the concert was mannequin fight which began the night on high vibes. Beeson maintained the energy with their optimistic guitar pics and light lyrics. The band— with Jane Beeson as the lead singer and Carson Ripley and Avery Davis on guitar—seems to have a bright future; at least the concert goers at Pie Shop seemed very pleased with their night.

CONCERT REVIEW: Molchat Doma @ The Anthem, 2/11
Starting out in 2017, Belarusian post-punk band, Молчат Дома (Molchat Doma), immediately brought something new to the table. Although heavily inspired by acts like The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, and Soviet-era band Kino, they marked a new era in modern post-punk as a whole. The lead singer’s deep monotone voice, the heavy bass, 80s sounding synths, and already signature drum machine have created an easily-recognizable “Molchat Doma” sound. This is all evident in their massive hit, “Судно (Борис Рыжий)” from their 2018 sophomore album, Etazhi, that exploded their sound into international acclaim. Currently on the North American leg of their ongoing world tour, the trio made a stop in D.C. on a snowy Tuesday, February 11th for a highly anticipated show at The Anthem.

An ode to strawberry tea, snakes, and running

We made blackout poetry with your college essays
Since high schoolers nation wide are making their customary announcement Instagram posts, we thought it'd be a good time to revisit application essays from GW students. We wanted to turn our pain into art, to honor the parts of ourselves we cut out just to get in. WARNING: Shit gets deep.
Local bands have a ball at Mosh Madness
I spent the Saturday before starting my last semester of college watching a bunch of out of shape local musicians play basketball in a church gym in Takoma, MD. It was the first ever Mosh Madness, a half-court single elimination tournament organized by Ian Donaldson and Reid Williams of Dorinda. Fourteen bands competed while five bands (three of who also balled) – Flowerbomb, Pretty Bitter, Massie, Pinky Lemon and Spring Silver – played sets during the matches. The event raised over $2,600 for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. Flooded in stale lighting, the smell of sweat growing exponentially worse each hour, you could barely hear conversation because the acoustics of the room weren’t prepared to host some of the DMV’s best and loudest. After whining through a semester abroad with no real live music, this was the perfect scene homecoming.
