Concert in Music 180
After getting out of class on Thursday, I began walking to Klotche as I always do to go to work. It was a little after 11am, and as I passed the Music building I heard some unusually loud music coming from the recital room where we have class for 201 on Mondays. I decided to postpone going to work for a bit to check out what was going on. I poked my head in through the door and was surprised to see that the place was pretty packed. On stage was a three-piece band cranking out some loud progressive rock sounding music. The band consisted of a drummer, a guitarist on electric, and a keyboardist who was also taking care of the vocals. I looked closer at the keyboardist and realized I knew him. I had hung out with him at a Dave Matthews Band concert a couple summers ago (he was friend's brother's friend I believe). I remembered him playing through a bunch of Dave Matthews songs and singing while we tailgated and it was impressive enough to warrant a few beers from delighted people wandering by so I stayed, somewhat intrigued. The band turned out to be pretty good and I ended up being quite a bit late to work! While the sound was a little too loud for the venue (the vocals probably suffered the worst), the band played pretty tight and the songs were interesting. Plus it was fun to see someone I knew doing his thing. I didn't catch the name of the band, which was too bad because I'd like to check them out again in a different setting more suited to a rock band.
