Show MONDAY, MARCH 10, 2008 • THE COLLEGE TIMES Life B2 Another successful performance by the UVSC orchestra Joyce Jacox Cuji.'St writer Every year the UVSC orchestra puts on a show called "Concerto Aria." This year, three soprano singers, a violinist, bassist and harpist, were chosen to accompany the orchestra. In addition, two aspiring music majors dedicated their time to writing their own short orchestral pieces. Like most people, you may not have a long history with classical music, but after a variety show such as this one, many are intrigued to learn more about the incredible music program our school offers.

Fans were forced to wail outside the club an extra two hours while the club attended to "technical difficulties." The excessive cold and fans' impatience led to several small fires being started from debris and free copies of weekly newspapers, creating temporary warmth for the huddled masses as temperatures dipped into the freezing range. Once the difficulties were fixed and fans were ushered into the venue, former Early November front man Ace Enders played to a crowd of filtering fans, most of whom only caught the end of his very short set. Enders' project, Ace Enders and a Million Different People, was only the first of three in the evening that counted an exmember of a more popular band among its numbers. After Enders, Fred Maschcrino, formerly of Taking Back Sunday, took the stage with his new crew. The Color Fred. The Color Fred were also forced to cut their set short because of technical troubles, but commanded the stage playing from their debut album. Bend To Break. Unfortunately, The College Times was unable to catch the whole set by The Color Fred due to some misunderstandings concerning photo authorization, which resulted in The Times being forced to remove their camera from the club. Following the brief disturbance, the show continued with Meg and Dia, who opened their set with their breakout single "Monster." Though the song provided a somewhat lackluster opening for their set, the group quickly picked up energy and crowd intrigue with Need More Cash?

Corner of University and State, just behind Sizzler and Big 5 their cover of Sublime's classic "Santeria." Meg and Dia also announced they would be heading into the studio to record a new album following the current tour. Along with the announcement, they gave the crowd a preview of some of the rather catchy new material -- music that will hopefully transfer into an interesting future release for the band. Rounding out the night, Tom Delonge (former guitarist/vocalist for Blink-182) brought his Angels & Airwaves to the stage, eliciting an ecstatic response from the sold-out crowd. Delonge and crew commanded the crowd from the beginning, playing hit songs like "Everything's Magic" and "Distraction" in front of an immense lightdisplay. Midway through the set, however, after performing a great solo cover of Blink182's "Reckless Abandon," Angels & Airwaves took a nosedive. Delonee performed the next sons with small lights strapped to his palms, twirling and acting very theatrical. From this point on, the band's neartwo-hour sel became less than impressive, metamorphosing into an overdone production in tribute to Tom Delonge's massive ego. Even so, fans likely found the show worth the wait and cost, considering the alright lineup of bands featuring guys who used to be in other bands. |
