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.
