We’ve all heard about them, those moments when the world softens, sounds become smoother and souls become stimulated. They’re hard to come by, but anyone in the audience of Rosie Darling’s Feb. 4 show at the DC9 Nightclub experienced that moment. Let’s set the stage.

It’s 7 p.m. on a Saturday and the crowd gathers in what may seem to be another low-lit venue, but when the lights come on mixtures of periwinkle purple and royal blue paint the walls. Moments later, dressed accordingly in a blue satin suit, Rosie takes the stage. Within seconds of Rosie singing "Reruns," the fourth song on her EP- Coping, the crowd chimes in.

Looking for a fun activity to help kick off the Spring semester? The Crystal Casino Band will debut their newest album, Maryland House, on Feb. 9 at the 9:30 Club, accompanied by opener Jeff Draco. The combination of Draco’s dreamy pop songs, reminiscent of summertime drives to the beach, with The Crystal Casino Band’s lively, indie-rock sound is sure to have audiences smiling as they dance along.

It might be January, but it’s always summer vibes and good times with Magic City Hippies. Hailing from Miami, the trio first started playing music together as part of the Robby Hunter Band in 2013. With groovy vibes and a poolside feel, they went on to form Magic City Hippies in 2015 with their debut EP, Hippie Castle. This marked the breakout of their career, with hits like “Limestone” and “Fanfare” receiving millions of streams. The band went on to tour, performing at festivals like Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits, bringing their house party vibe to thousands of fans.

In search of an upbeat Friday night jam sesh to catch a break from finals? Join Turnover when they come to the 9:30 club to debut their newest album on December 16. Rock bands Riki and Video Age are the opening acts, setting the stage for a great night to share their discography.

Turnover is a rock band from Virginia Beach that formed in 2009. The band released their first self-titled album, aptly named Turnover, two years later in 2011. Turnover then signed to Run for Cover Records in 2012 and have toured several times throughout the last several years, alongside with bands such as Light Years, Diamond Youth, and Ivy League.

My first experience at Rams Head Live was an unforgettable one. As I entered the dimly lit venue, I could feel the infectious energy radiating off of fans as they anxiously waited for the show to start.

The first of three openers almost immediately generated audience interaction with attendees forming mosh pits and crowd surfing. My expectations for the rest of the night remained high after seeing this instantly untamed audience reaction, however as the night’s performances continued, the audience’s energy plummeted.

“D.C. I freaking love you,” shouted Sloan Struble, frontman of the indie-pop group Dayglow, while gazing in pure amazement at the roaring crowd surrounding him. Struble gave one of the most fun and heartfelt performances I have ever experienced. He left audience members filled with so much euphoria and energy that it was hard to say goodbye.

Dayglow performed for a packed 9:30 Club in Washington D.C. on Nov. 14 and 15 after selling out both shows. A second performance at the venue had to be added to the tour just to accommodate the influx of fans trying to get tickets - and it’s clear why. The band’s infectious, high-spirited energy created a carefree environment which made it impossible not to dance along to their set.

The indie pop/rock group Harbour will be “swimming in your head” when they arrive at DC9 Nightclub on Dec. 4, following the release of their new single.

Harbour is currently touring in the U.S. with indie pop artist Wingtip and opener Lisa Heller, their third stop being Washington D.C. With an already sold out show and the simple yet effective statement, “Let’s have some fun,” on the band’s tour page, Harbour sets expectations high for an unforgettable night.
