[POSTPONED: May 2, 2022] Indigo De Souza / Horse Jumper Of Love / Friendship [rescheduled from January 30, moved to October 10, 2022]
Indigo De Souza had to postpone her previous show here because of general COVID anxiety. Now, just a few days before this show was supposed to happen, she had to postponed because of an actual COVID outbreak:
Thank you for purchasing tickets to see Indigo De Souza at Union Transfer on May 2. Unfortunately, due to a postive Covid test in the touring party, this show has been postponed to a date to be determined in the future.
From the band: “Unfortunately, our bass player and Horse Jumper of Love’s drummer have tested positive for covid so we have decided to postpone Monday’s show in Philadelphia ,PA
Please hold on to your tickets as we will be announcing new dates asap. We are sad to miss this show. It’s a sensitive time to be playing music. Thank you for bearing with us as we learn how to navigate it all. Sending love in all directions.“
Perhaps third time’s the charm

Indigo De Souza is a new (to me) musician who I heard about on NPR music. Her song “Kill Me” is outstanding. A great dynamic of sounds, very funny lyrics and memorable hooks. I loved it immediately. She announced a tour soon after I’d heard it and I grabbed a ticket to see her headline tour (!).
She’s ben making music since she was like 9 with a few EPs and a previous album. I imagine she’ll be a fun and wild performer.
On January 13, Union Transfer announced:
Indigo has decided it’s best for all involved to move their tour to a few weeks later in the year. The Philly show will now take place at Union Transfer on May 2nd
That’s not too far off.
I hadn’t heard of either of the opening acts (such is the case when the headliner is fairy new herself).
Horse Jumper of Love is from Boston
They play downbeat, rather depressing mope rock. With occasional flares of noise attached. I’d hope they’d be more lively in concert.
Friendship is from Philly,
According to their bandcamp page
Onstage, bassist Jon Samuels is the only Friendship member who stands up. He is usually swaying back and forth as the songs bear down, pulling together and apart. Friendship’s new record, Dreamin’ is an exorable wave of motion, endlessly rocking between intimacy and loneliness.
Sounds pretty mellow. Neither seems quite the right choice for what I know of De Souza’s music. Although De Souza is also opening for Lucy Dacus in April, so go figure.
It’s not clear to me if Friendship was going to make this date or not.
