Preview: Battle of the Bands: A Roman Blood Bath

Mark your calendars for this epic battle of Spartan proportions, which will take place on November 16th: Pendleton Hall in the Union
Although this event will not take place until November is bears mentioning now for those of you who have a band and are interested in joining the fray!
New Beat Happening (NBH), a student group on campus, holds this event every fall to showcase local talent from around Michigan and the University. NBH brings a bigger performer to campus in the Winter semester for general student enjoyment and moral boosting, not to mention potentially introducing you all to something you wouldn’t have otherwise been exposed to. (In the past NBH has brought: Atlas Cloud, Girl talk…..) Although this cannot be guaranteed by NBH, due to the finicky tendencies of musicians, the winner of November’s Battle of the bands may be able to open for Winter’s headlining band. If not NBH may be able to offer the Battle winner their own headlining show on campus, to be adored by all who are fortunate enough to bask in their glory.
If you would like to throw your band’s, or your own solo-performing, name in the ring for this Battle please send a sample of your music to:

nbh.battle.2012@gmail.com

and wait with bated breath to see if you will be chosen to battle against fellow musicians for the title of:
New Beat Happening’s 2012 Battle of the Bands Victor!

With Halloween right around the corner you can feel the pulse of campus increase with vigor.  Halloween is often the most anticipated celebration throughout the school year, and for good reason.  It’s the one time throughout the year that people can dress up, take on different identities and enter a world that resembles something out of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.  Although Gimble A Cappella may not be ready to take on the likes of Rocky Horror, they will put on a fabulous show at their 2nd annual Halloween a cappella show, Spookapella!

This  year, Gimble will host Maize Mirchi, Michigan’s premier South Asian a cappella group, and The Harmonettes, one of three all female groups on campus.  Gimble will also welcome special guest Scotch Tape, who are coming all the way from Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota to open the show and will begin singing at around 6:45pm.  It should be a great night of a cappella!

Here’s the rundown…

Who: Gimble, The Harmonettes, Maize Mirchi & Scotch Tape

Where: Angell Hall Auditorium D

When: Friday, 10/29 @ 7:00pm

Price: $5 Adults/Students, $3 Children

Enjoy the show!
