Loose Lips Farewell show at Black Cat (1/27)

Loose Lips Farewell show at Black Cat (1/27)

Sad news. Newdust bros and local DC rockers Loose Lips are throwing in the towel. They will be playing a farewell show (RSVP here) at the Black Cat DC on January 27 with Lightfoot, Paperhaus, and Ugly Purple Sweater. Be there to wish these dudes luck on their various new projects. In the mean time, listen to some of my favorites from the band, including a Brothertiger remix of “Happily Doomed”. I will miss this band and their Interpol-esque indie chops. Godspeed dudes.

Show Review: Active Child

Show Review: Active Child

Active Child is serious mellow drama, almost so much that it transcends my generation’s need to exaggerate everything. The only difference is, they mean it. Wednesday night’s show at the Black Cat in DC was heavy on the beats, baroque statues, and harp. Active Child takes you to an almost airy and surreal place of sadness, regret and insecurity. An important trait in any band that channels so much nostalgia and contemporary influences. My favorite song “Playing House” took the sleepy, rained on, yet packed house outta the dark zone. No one quite knew the words, but it didn’t matter because the emotions were familiar. The crowd was engaged yet despondent. Not quite sure whether to dance, or take a moment to themselves. Another highlight was “When Your Love Is Safe”. The song took everyone on a analog ride to regret and reflection. The highs were high and the lows were all the way at the bottom. Pat Grossi’s voice was the driver behind every song. It carried the crowd past the 80s cliche, past the huge beats, past the emotive stanzas. Simply, it lifted you up.
