These days I’ve been finding myself ever more drawn to back to indie rock bands. I don’t need any gimmicks from these kinds of bands; I just need them to nervously rock out, spit some sad lyrics, and rip a guitar solo. If it seems like they’re doing it really earnestly, then I’m happy. I get that vibe from these guys. They’re satisfying.

NAP ALL DAY.
May is for mayhem: Senior Dance, Senior Visual Arts, Senior Music, Drama Faculty Productions, Student Productions and Staged Readings…. so much goes on.
This post is about the Senior Shows in Music. Kim Nucci and Julia Rocha’s night of spatial improvisation used Greenwall Auditorium’s cavernous acoustics in a concert of nightscape music—dark, moody, slow and sometimes strange. Pictured above is faculty member and instrumental wizard Bruce Williamson and Kim’s bassist friend.
In blood-red darkness is Tito’s Senior Show which was a metal concert of epic proportions complete with fog machine and ghostly orator sitting 20 feet above the audience, and Tito on vocals and Keytar.
Peter and Greg shared Saturday night, Peter starting the night off with drum rhythms and ending with a Guinean/Rock hybrid song that got me moving on the dance floor. Greg opened with a tear-jerker solo song about leaving school, and continued to make a lot of people cry—with happiness and realizing we’re almost out of here. A highlight from his show was his piece Angles and Curves, a quintet for 3 guitars, bass, and drums that takes chamber music and turns it into indie rock.
The last photo is of Sarah and Katie’s evening of songs from Rodgers and Hammerstein to Mozart. Lots of us cried at this one too, these two have got amazing pipes.
My Senior show is on Sunday at 7:00pm in the carriage barn. It’ll be an evening of chamber music written mostly by me and played by some of the best musicians on campus. I’m terrified and excited.
Cheers!
