Hola, Apocalypse!

Don't you love it when an event's title is in Spanish for no reason? I know I do ;)

Tonight's lineup might be almost as good as a trip to Madrid...almost.

yep, took this one in Madrid

In the Morse/Stiles Theater from two Yale and one alum band are taking the stage. At 8:30 it's A Streetcar Named Funk, at 9:30 alum band Brother K (my limited research into this group says nobody knows who they are but they sound "chill."), and Salivating Eyes at 10:30.

Streetcar, or rather bassist Nathan Prillamen '13, has been working on some funky originals, so be sure to look out for those.

Salivating Eyes is kind of goofy, as the following "cover" video shows. These guys know how to have fun. But when it comes to their originals, they really bring it. The guitar solos alone are enough to make my eyes salivate (whatever that means?!?!?)

I really love this song...and that drawing is pretty sexy...

So get ready for FUNKY, CHILL, SHREDDING SALIVATION. In that order. Alright, I support this.

See you front and centre,

Relay for Life: Band Lineup

Hey melody makers,

Relay for Life is tonight. The thing that gives money to help prevent cancer and has all the carnival blow-up thingys you don't want to admit how much fun your having on. This year's Relay is CIRCUS THEMED. You have no idea how excited I am about this.

About a month ago, I was talking with my friend Alyssa about how cool it would be if some student bands played at Relay because it was something I had noticed was done in past years.

And now we have some! Yay, Alyssa!

Here’s the lineup, starting at 10:45pm and going through 1am.

Even Artichokes Have Hearts

A Streetcar Named Funk

Salivating Eyes

mmmm mine are salivating

So three groups we didn’t get a chance to hear at Battle of the Bands. Alyssa, tenor saxophonist extraordinaire is in Streetcar, a new group with a funky, jazzy sound. Last I heard they were mostly doing covers, but we’ll see if they’re releasing any originals tonight.

So go. You know you want to. Even if you end up there after a drunken night, they’ll have food for you and music and games and bouncy things, oh joy. And bring $10 for cancer.

...also yours truly may or may not be taking a lap on a certain yellow one-wheeled vehicle…it’s for cancer.
