On February 28th, Teen Suicide headlined a show at Eclectic, with openers, Sorority Noise and Special Explosion.
At their energetic Eclectic show in September, the Wes-alumni trio Big Tusk—comprised of Sam Long, Howe Pearson, and David Thompson—delivered a number of their new Flood EP’s then-unreleased songs. While the live energy and personality of these great guys is experienced from afar on record, Flood makes up for it with an engaging attention to sonic detail.
It started out stupid, like every other night. We pre-gamed in WestCo and listened to nostalgic 90s rap. Everyone got too drunk. Nobody wanted to smoke weed or have sex with my visiting friends. What seemed like any night I may have had at college – or at home in Minnesota, for that matter – soon devolved into a sanguine shit show which the student body of Wesleyan may very well remember for years to come.
Each week, several Aural Wes contributors write up tracks that they have on repeat. In this edition, the word "friggin'" is reintroduced into our lexicon. Listen to these tracks and friggin' enjoy yourself you friggin' frig.
Tonsil Hockey is a Wes power pop trio consisting of Jason Katzenstein, Zak Malik, and Adrien DeFontaine. They released their EP Good Luck on Tuesday, delivering three well-produced tracks full of crunchy power chords, catchy hooks, and mushy teenage angst.
Coming to Eclectic this Saturday at 10 p.m, is indie rock band Speedy Ortiz. Featuring bass player Darl Ferm (Wesleyan ’12), the band is a blend of thoughtful lyrics and 90s sensibilities, and are coming with great anticipation.
