The Members are CSU student and Bassist/Vocalist, Andy Creech; CSU student and Guitarist, Jack Rohde; Vocalist/Guitarist, Joe Smith; and Drummer, Kyle Huckleberry. Originally, a few of the members were a part of a different band, but due to schedule conflicts, they were not were not very productive. The remaining members, Creech,Rohde, and Smith, decided to keep the band going and…

sung covers and towards the middle of the concert they began to show some of their original works. They were pretty enjoyable. I am not certain if they were a well know small local band or if they were just a student band that formed on campus but they were very talented and I hope that they do well I their career. This band had a more ‘soft’ alternative rock vibe and their interpretation of known song were fun, easily recognizable, and also easily understood. One of my favorite parts about…

Have you ever been late to go to school at night because you were working? Band practice was scheduled one night after school from 6-9. It slipped my mind when I was at my job. I accidentally showed up late for practice. I walked into first hour excited about practice that night. I wanted the percussion to win every competition we went to, since that’s how it was last year. The band teacher announced that there would be practice that night and for everyone to show up on time. I…

figures during this time. The British rock band, The Beatles were heavily impacted by Dylan’s sudden musical change. The Beatles’ mainly produced pop hits for teens and were inspired to experiment with their creative abilities. Bob’s Freewheelin’ album made a huge impression on them. “For three weeks in Paris, we didn't stop playing it," Lennon stated. “We all went potty about Dylan.” It was his distinctive lyrics that captivated the band. As result, the band released more experimental types of…

was in the marching band and the concert band. In college, I was in the orchestra and the pep band. Band for me wasn’t about playing the music. Music, to me, is just a hobby. What these group of musicians gave me was a sense of family. We would spend hours upon hours together with a common goal. In high school, that goal was to cheer on the football team or entertain a crowd. In college, it is all about basketball. The sense of school spirit that comes along with pep band is why I…

The phrase “band is life” is thrown around between each member of the band. To an outsider, the phrase might be a little strange and not knowing the context of it might be off putting. The phrase to each member roughly means this is what I really enjoy being apart of and I'm proud of what I'm building. Another phrase used by the band at Center Hill is “What does it take to make a marching band great?” and the response of the entire band yells back “Pride!” and they repeat what two times and…

On March 26th, I attended a concert at Sidewinder in Austin, Texas. The venue hosted three bands: The Sweethearts, Two Tens, and The Dollyrots. All three were female-fronted punk rock bands, but The Sweethearts were the only band that was local. The other two were on tour with each other. All three of the bands knew each other and have played together at other venues frequently. This event held indoors. Sidewinder’s interior is set up as an open bar. When you walk in the bar is to the right,…

John Heard was found dead Friday in a hotel room. The circumstances surrounding his death are unclear at the moment. Heard had minor back surgery just a few days ago and now, he has passed away. The coroner is looking into the cause of death, but as of now, nothing has been confirmed about how or why he died. His death comes as a shock to fans. Initially, it was believed to be a hoax, but that is not the case. According to TMZ, John Heard was staying at the hotel while recovering from a minor…

When you hear the word band when related to music, what do you think of? Is it a small group of friends playing in a garage, or a huge group of people putting on a concert at school? Merriam Webster defines a band as “a group of persons, animals, or things; especially: a group of musicians organized for ensemble playing.” To finish out the semester I went to one last concert, the SIUE Wind Symphony and Concert Band. The opening piece of the night Where Never Lark or Eagle Flew by James Curnow.…
