Talib Kweli ft. Miguel – Come Here

An oldie, but I never met a Miguel jam I didn’t love.

Free UW HUB concert on the Lawn

I could’ve sworn I did this post this morning.

Built to Spill and Ra Ra Riot will be performing. The concert will run from 3-7 PM and it is absolutely free.

Built to Spill sounds like Death Cab and Ra Ra Riot reminds me of The Kooks.

If you’re not from UW and you don’t care for those bands you may not want to make the trip but if you’re already at UW you might as well!

The lineup isn’t as good as last years, (Blue Scholars, Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground, Minus The Bear) but I am awfully fond of my Seattle bands!

In comparison, I think Seattle University’s Quadstock with headliner Talib Kweli totally owns UW this year.

Quadstock Photos

I finally edited my five pictures that I liked. Camera Rini is presh but she is quite a handful because I have to use two hands for her, can’t really take her out for fear of…the worst (spilt fluids, bumpage, you knowwww…) but I’m not gonna lie, it felt damn good to bring her out into the crowd with me for Quadstock. I haven’t taken pictures at concerts for two maybe even three years. It used to be my dream to get that press pass and be in the security pit… how things have changed. To view the pictures bigger just click on them. Thanks!

The Love Lights. This was also the first picture in the set, and it always happens to be the one I like the least.

Vedera – Song For A Friend

I really really enjoy listening to this band. I actually saw them two months ago when they opened for Danger and Plain White T’s and I still have their EP sitting on my desk waiting to be put on my ipod.. they’re great.

Also! I took pictures from Talib’s set last night at Quadstock so I’ll be editing them sometime tomorrow or so.

QUADSTOCK

QUADSTOCK TOMORROW! It’s going to be a gorgeous day and everyone is going to be out for this. Tickets are still $10 at the CAC and $12 at the door tomorrow. Starting at noon on Saturday, the Union Green will be open for the student performer stage, food, henna tattoos, a dunk tank, and various booths will be out also. Then at 4:00 PM the Quad will open with performances from listed above. Talib Kweli is playing at 9:00 PM. Also with your ticket you will get two entrees from your pick of Dick’s, Ezell’s, Pita Pit and Dominos.

Also my good friend Marcus and his friend Jimmy will be performing with their group Quarter After at 2:30 PM in the Green!

I cannot wait to participate in my first Quadstock. I haven’t figured out what my agenda will look like just yet, but I will be on and off campus and will have my camera with me. See you out there tomorrow!

Seattle U’s Quadstock Lineup is a Hit Among Students

Today, the lineup of Seattle University’s 20th annual music festival, Quadstock was released. Rumors and speculation have been flying around campus about the possibilities of 50 cent and Girl Talk, but today the lineup finally revealed headliner, Talib Kweli and supporting acts, Eclectic Approach, Velella Velella and The Love Lights.

Quadstock will be an all day festival w/ inflatable games, a stage for Seattle University musicians and performers, a dunk tank, food and arts and crafts.

However, there will also be another alternative activity during the day portion…
