Now that it’s getting a bit colder, many will be heading indoors, checking out movies, sporting events, and of course, fluid related ping-pong competitions. Instead, or perhaps in the meantime, October is jam packed with bands that are sure to.well. jam. Paolo Nutini will be disguising pop music as “thoughtful singer/songwriter tunes” Thursday at 9:30 […]
Trick question – which is harder: executing a synchronized dance on treadmills for three minutes straight without getting some nasty rug burns or finishing one of the most exhausting world tours in music history? The only four guys in all of mankind that can actually answer that will be happy to let you know at […]
September means a lot of different things at GW: getting professors to sign you into a class, (maybe) buying books for said class and perhaps lining up that internship your parents keep hounding you about. But above all, it means figuring out a way to work all that “important” stuff around all the concerts that […]
So you’ve gone to school for four years now in a city known the world over for its jazz scene. For all you seniors, this might be your last chance. Besides, now that your parents are in town, you can show them how cultured you’ve become over this very expensive stay in Foggy Bottom. Mike […]
The rain certainly dampened the 2007 Program Board Spring Fling held Saturday in the Smith Center. Inclement weather forced the annual festival indoors for the second year in a row, providing a less than festive aura. The day dragged from the very beginning.

If you’ve ever wondered what it sounded like when two worlds collided, this weekend at the State Theater should be quite interesting. Los Lobos are coming to town to howl at the moon with some help from an old friend, Taj Mahal. In their over thirty years of music, Los Lobos’ sound has matured, becoming […]
Have you ever heard that one guy . oh . what’s his name? Well, with Mike Silverman, That1Guy is hard to forget. Now, the classical musician turned inventor has turned the world of bass on its ear with his quirky instrument, as he storms into town in support of his new live DVD, “Live in […]
There aren’t many bands that get to THAT level; the point where every time they take the stage, it’s not just a concert. it’s an event. For the past couple of weeks, there was a buzz (err. a low murmur) around campus about last Thursday’s Red Hot Chili Peppers show. GW doesn’t even get that […]
The 24-year-old Marc Broussard is poised to bring his impossibly soulful music to the 9:30 Club this Thursday and Friday, opening up for G. Love and Special Sauce. The blend of his Bayou music and G. Love’s Philly-style grooves should provide a great atmosphere. “He’s a great guy,” Broussard said about G. Love. “We’re having […]
The Tennessee whiskey couldn’t warm the visible breath of the freezing concertgoers waiting to see Shooter Jennings at the 9:30 Club Friday night. The “late” show became an early show, as the doors didn’t open until around 11:30 p.m., and the acts didn’t begin until the wee hours of the morning. Outside, fans traded concert […]
