Let’s Party Hats! Hats! Hats! just self-released their Pain Hurts EP, a 13-minute collection of distorted madness, exacted aggression, and almost-discernable samples. The band is made up of three musicians familiar to many of those on campus who make music and attend many concerts: Adam Johnson ’14 (vocals/guitar), Sean Winnik ’14 (vocals/ saxophone/guitar), and Nate Repasz ’14 (drums). The group has become a staple on campus this year, performing at The Mash, Art House, and soon Eclectic, where they’re performing this Thursday with Diarrhea Planet.

Wanna know what a Diarrhea Planet would smell like? Probably not. Hopefully not. But what would it sound like? Apparently, like 6 best friends, 4 riffing guitars, endless chanting, and as much cheap beer as you can imagine. In other words, a whole lot of fucking fun. Hit the jump to read more about the glorious Nashville band known as Diarrhea Planet, coming to The Eclectic Society this Thursday.

Drones (Keenan Burgess ’16), previously known as k∆leidoscope, recently dropped a remix of newly famous indie-pop singer Lorde’s “Tennis Courts”.  Burgess' cloudy remix takes the original song to a completely different dimension, allowing you to forget that it was ever sung by a 16-year-old New Zealander. The juxtaposition between the distorted, slowed-down vocals and the song's bumpin’ beat create a blurring dizziness, leaving you in a drunken state of mind as you find yourself swaying shamelessly to the beat. Be sure to check out more of Drones’ remixes and originals on his soundcloud.

REVIEW: THE WORLD IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE & I AM NO LONGER AFRAID TO DIE AT ECLECTIC

Eclectic on Saturday night was all about feelings. Feeling that an emo-revival show is right there with those wistful moods of autumn, feeling a bombardment of mosh pit appendages, and, although this may not apply to everyone, feeling a good deal more of Eclectic’s skylight than intended. The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die, the night’s headliners, described Saturday as “the gig with heavy make out sessions, fur vests, gold chains and someone falling through a sky roof.” In all its revelrous, sweaty glory, the scene at Eclectic embodied the 14-word worldview of TWIABP’s band name: beauty with a tinge of mortality. As Emo-rock catharsis and the ambulance service came together in an unfortunate but thrilling turn of events, Saturday night’s atmosphere truly coincided with its music.
