The Philadelphia-based Kalob Griffin Band (@TheKGBand) will be making their return to Penn State--their hometown of a sort--this Saturday, April 14th at Café 210 West.
A few weeks ago, the State Theatre held an advanced screening of American Reunion, the fourth installment in the original American Pie series. Several Onward State writers attended the free screening, which was filled to capacity nearly 30 minutes before the movie started. Below are some of our thoughts.
The Penn State Thespians were founded in 1897 by Dr. Fred Lewis Pattee and Dr. John H. Leete, making them the university's oldest student organization as they have reached their 115th year. But that's not the only landmark that they reached in 2012, as their premiere of "Aida" next Thursday will mark their their 200th show.
Starting off the tour for their third album Ghostory, School of Seven Bells' first stop was Chronic Town, bringing along their indie rock/ dream pop tunes to Penn State Tuesday night. Opening for them was Think Twice, Dublin, State College's own local melancholic dream pop band.
Mac Miller returned to Penn State with a bang on Tuesday in his concert at the Bryce Jordan Center, performing with The Cool Kids and The Come Up on their Macadelic Tour.
If you were present or paying attention to social media this weekend, you know by now that ska band Wondershop Showdown and DJ Keegan Tawa won Battle of the Bands and will be opening for the Avett Brothers and Ludacris at Movin' On. These two acts are each talented in their own right, but were clearly not the right decision when measured up with all the other performers Saturday night. If you missed it, allow me to recap the evening and explain.
