Penn State's Student Programming Association announced this morning that the Punk/Emo band Taking Back Sunday will play at Penn State's Homecoming week on Sunday, September 30th at 7 p.m. in Rec Hall. Tickets are $4.99 for students and $15 for non-students and will go on sale in the HUB on Monday, September 17.
102 Paterno Library will be hosting two free events this Thursday and Friday to celebrate the music of Folk legend Woody Guthrie, who would've turned 100 years old this July.
The Penn State Student Programming Association will kick off the new school year with their second annual Nittany Block Party next week with special guest, The Ready Set. The show will take place next Friday, September 7, at 5:30 p.m. on Pollock Road in front of the HUB. There will also be performances from various student groups and organizations, as well as food and other activities.
EOTO, a side project of two members of the String Cheese Incident, played a razor-sharp bass blasting performance at the State Theatre on part of their Bass Invaders tour. Although only roughly 150 tickets were sold for Thursday Night's show, Michael Travis and Jason Hann acted more like DJs than musicians with the sound they produced.
Despite two decades of musical expertise and a stage loaded with pianos, string instruments, and drums; the spotlight was on the crowd last night at The State Theatre. Guster, a cult hit in the alternative scene, performed a stripped down, intimate acoustic performance where the the audience wasn't just passive consumers of the band's breed of bluesy jams, but a co-conspirator, guiding the night with requests from tweets, shouts and a "fish bowl."
If you have a ticket to tonight's DayGlow show, you're in for a real treat. At least if last night's first stop in State College was any indication. Read more after the jump.
