Overcoats opened for Mitski at the 9:30 Club on November 17th. The crowd was excited to see Mitski perform and there was a line formed around the block waiting to get inside to see Mitski. She was very happy to see that all of the people were here.
The beat to "Dead to Me" began in the 9:30 Club and the shadow of Kali Uchis appeared behind a white closed curtain. She graced the stage in a black lingerie top and black striped track pants and joined her band on stage. She had two extremely long ponytails, making something usually seen on school girls somehow elegant.
Since 2012, Kali Uchis has risen from an unknown artist on SoundCloud to the face of the indie-pop movement. The 24-year-old Colombian-American star emerged on the scene with her mixtape "Drunken Babble" in 2012. She has also released two full-length albums: "Por Vida" in 2015 and "Isolation" in 2018. Uchis will be performing music off of “Isolation” at the 9:30 Club on Oct. 10th.
Lala Lala and Mothers, two indie rock bands who each have a interesting and fresh take on the genre, played at Songbyrd Music House on Friday, Sept. 21. Lala Lala was the opening act for Mothers.
The DC9 Club had a somber show on Sept. 20, featuring Mannequin Pussy and Yowler as openers, and LVL UP as the headliner. This was LVL UP’s last performance in D.C. after deciding to break up in June, following a moderately successful career as an indie rock band with a consistent fan base. LVL UP had a seven-year stint as a band, releasing "Space Brothers" in 2011, "Hoodwink'd" in 2014, "Return to Love" in 2016 and the single "Orchard" in 2018. The four-piece band includes Mike Caridi, Dave Benton, Nick Corbo, and Greg Rutkin.
Will Toledo, lead singer of Car Seat Headrest, graced the stage of the 9:30 Club on Sept. 19 sporting an all-black ensemble, including loose-fitting pants. The stage was filled with not four guys, but seven; Naked Giants, the opener, had joined Car Seat Headrest for an extremely energetic performance. Car Seat Headrest is generally a loud band with elements of punk, lo-fi and electronic rock, but the sound was fuller, enhanced by the amount of people performing.
LVL UP embarks on their last tour after seven years of pure teenage angst that all started in a college dorm room at SUNY Purchase. The group will be playing the DMV’s epicenter for emo rock bands, the DC9 Club, on Sept. 20. The four-piece band includes Mike Caridi, Greg Rutkin, Dave Benton and Nick Corbo. This band of classmates is somber, but grateful for their fans and the experience they got to have.
