...self-described “dance-rock” band that features Lowe on lead vocals and keyboard, along with lead guitarist T. Josiah Pertz ’05, guitarist Drew R. Bordeaux ’05, and drummer Drake.

...self-professed Starbucks addict. But a tall half-caf with hazelnut syrup isn't the only thing she's fixating on at her local coffee spot.

But after she had moved to New York City and brought out a CD, Dreamland (Atlantic), in 1996, she lost the joy. The mixed blessings of success, the pressure to come up with a second album, the strain that required surgery on her vocal cords were all too much. She dropped out. For five years, she spent time with her family, traveled, explored Christianity and tried...
