2005.05.06 and 07 - Naperville Central HS - Drumshow

[coffee]

Shameless plug:

Drumshow
Friday May 6th / Saturday May 7th
Naperville Central High School, 7:30 pm
$7 students, $9 adults

This is a unique concert featuring a collection of percussion arrangements performed by NCHS's finest lot of percussionists. Everything from a Mr. Bungle cover to beating up cars to latin jazz to Hawaiian war god worshipers to a Beatles medley, and more. Think of it as a mixture of Blue Man Group, Stomp, an extremely contemporary percussion ensemble recital, a latin jazz band, and a featured guest artist playing some sweet vibraphone jazz. Out of all the school-affiliated music programs I've been in, this is by far the most hip and entertaining production.

You'll like it, so you should really go. Ticket info: 630-355-7933
Also, if i'm friends with you, we'll set up some sweet reserved seats for the lbe crew.

We went last year, and this was a really impressive show.

[NsubUlysses]

Is this the last one before the school year is over?

I'd go if I was in town.

[jose]

Doud, I wish to know the name of the Bungle cover. Are you playing tabla?

Last year's outing was indeed spectacular. And, yeah, I'm talking about Riffbot.

[deathtopretzels]

hahahahah riffbot!!!!!!

see you there!

[andrea]

riffbot was the most spectacular musical genius i've ever had the pleasure of being witness to, even though it was just a video. if i were in town, i'd definitely make it out this year. good luck, doud!

[Patrick Cosmos]

When we realized Riffbot was CG, life got sadder

[Patrick Cosmos]

It had laser arms

Some updates:

This year there is a totallysupernew RIFFBOT video that i just saw for the first time last night. I saw it all in fast forward but it still looked rad as hell.

The show is only these two nights, sorry dean!

The cover is Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz, or something like that. It's the opener.

[Patrick Cosmos]

That song is baaad as fuuuuuuck

[deathtopretzels]

i am very excited for the new riffbot. possibly more excited than i am for drumshow!

[Kid Afrosleaziak]

Consider me there.

[xdaveyidx]

i'm down

boy, now i'll look stupid when it's the same video from last year. i think it's new...

also... I don't think I'll be able to get saved seats anymore, but if you just get there at a decent time you shouldn't have a problem.

[deathtopretzels]

even if it is the same riffbot as last year, it should be highly entertaining.

will there be any 107 shouting this year? hahaha
