No, We're Not and Great Caesar tonight!

Hey musenthusiasts!

It's shopping period, so you could...

A) Do homework for classes you don't yet know you're taking with textbooks you haven't yet bought.
B) Waste time pretending to do A but not really doing it.
C) Go to a concert! And learn about music appreciation!
D) None of the above. Watch movies in your room and be sad.



I don't know about you, but since I've spent most of my afternoon on B, I think it's time to try a different answer...C!

Luckily for the validity of this mutliple choice excersise, such a concert exists! No way!

At 9, 109 Howe Street is hosting a No, We're Not and Great Caesar.

Nathan Prillaman JE '13 (guitar, keys), Rich Gilliland PC '13 (guitar, vox), Peter Lewis JE '13 (keyboard, synth, space flute), and Zach Simao JE '13 (drums) of No, We're Not will take the stage first. This Yale rock band was formed last year and had one song on 17O1's album. Check it out on their soundcloud. This concert, the band says, will be inspired by spatial sounds, so it should be a nice mix of chill rock riffs, solid drumming and sound instrumentation. I'm psyched about the space flute.

Alum John Michael Parker JE '10 leads Great Caesar on guitar and vocals. It's an indie rock sextet with saxophone and horns to round out the sound. Rock guitar riffs mix with bluesly windstrumentals for a sophisticated yet catchy sound. The emotional chords and suspensions add a lot to their performance, and the instrumentals enlarge the sound without overwhelming it. They sound great, check out one of their songs here.



Come listen to some tunes and even enjoy a few beers if you are over 21 (CT law).
