Fresh faces burst to stage in Roundtable
With an energy and exuberance that could hardly be contained in the tiny Phi Beta Kappa Hall Lab Theatre, a cast and crew of 24 freshmen brought to life six one act plays last week. The night featured two hours of thoroughly enjoyable theater, directed, performed and in a few cases even written by members of the class of 06. When you think about it kids, two hours is a long time to hold an audience's attention.
Longwave set for success
Ever since the release of the Strokes's heralded 2001 debut "Is This It," a dozen or so bands have been accused of emulating the namesake quintet's trademark sound. Acts from Interpol to the Libertines have all been readily likened to the group, blending disillusioned, distant vocals and mellowed, bouncy harmonies in the vein of long lost outfits like Joy Division and the Velvet Underground. While the claims have never hurt the supposed imitation bands, they also haven't really given them the credit they deserve.
