Everyone’s favorite band Grizzly Bear is slated to headline SEC’s fall semester Big Show scheduled for  September 25th.  Grizzly Bear is a fantastic snag for Skidmore; the band was recently rocketed to stardom after their most recent album—Veckatimest—made its way to the Billboard Top 100 albums chart after previous independent success.  The Brooklyn-based foursome is known for their beautifully creepy harmonies and intricate instrumental arrangements and stand in sharp contrast to previous Big Show headliners like Ghostface Killah and Girl Talk. Openers for the show are as-of-yet unnamed but apparently the recessionistas as SEC scored Grizzly Bear “mad cheap” and have some wiggle room when it comes to hiring.

Representatives from the New York Knicks and Skidmore College have now both confirmed that the team will be returning to our hallowed Sports and Recreation Center for pre-season practice this September. Previously the Knicks enjoyed pre-season training in Charleston S.C but moved to Saratoga last year after Mike “The Moustache” D’Antoni succeded Isiah Thomas as Head Coach.

Although last year’s practices were not open to the public Skidmore’s own Seth Rosenthal—who covers the Knicks at PostingandToasting.com—was granted some exclusive interviews.
