On Oct. 23, Indigo de Souza brought her Precipice Tour to the 9:30 Club, joined by Landon George on bass, Lila Richardson on drums, and Mike Johnson on guitar and keys. The night began with opener Mothé, who later joined de Souza on stage for their joint song “Serious” (2025). Their friendship was palpable, setting a relaxed tone that carried throughout the evening. The audience, a lively mix of ages, buzzed with excitement, ready to sing, dance, and connect with de Souza. T

While the setlist covered both new and old material, it was clear that many audience members were less familiar with the band’s newer songs. Still, when the opening notes of “Little Talks” and “Dirty Paws” began, the entire venue came alive. The voices of the crowd joined as one, echoing back lyrics that defined a generation of indie music lovers.

Review: Thundercat (and his cats) at The Anthem
Thundercat’s show last Tuesday at the Anthem was perhaps exactly what I needed in a mid-week break from the intensity of on-campus life. On stage, he was just as funny, weird, and eclectic as you would imagine him to be.

My Found Family on the Hilltop
As I walked through the front gates of campus, the cheers of Georgetown Admissions Ambassador Program (GAAP) weekend staffers echoed around me, their voices bouncing off the stone walls of campus and filling the fresh spring air. Among the hum of conversation, the sway of the blue and white balloon arches, and the sea of smiling faces, I spotted someone I recognized. I hadn’t learned about Georgetown from an admissions officer or a glossy brochure. I learned about it from a
