a rare photograph of Here We Go Magic taken during an earthquake

The rad dudes and dudettes at SEC bring you goodtime psychedelic folkies Here We Go Magic this Friday with support from Saratoga’s own Railbird.

Here We Go Magic is one of those bands that makes you feel good on the inside—talented, poetic, wonderful instrumentation, the whole deal. Railbird is a local band with some of the dudes from One Caroline and they’re fucking rad. If you’re 21 (or have a decent fake) you’ve probably seen them at Putanm Den already and liked them. In conclusion Friday night is going to be great.

Friday Night, Doors at 8pm. Falstaff’s

that one guy kind of looks like a puny andy samberg right?

The Felice Brothers will play Falstaff’s on Saturday September 12th. Freshmen take notice: enjoying a concert at Falstaff’s is good respite from the nightly congregating you will be doing at the Scribner staircase. The former subway buskers play raggedy–ass electric folk ala The Band and will not disappoint. The extraordinary Garrett Cook ’09 will open for the F-bros with an all-acoustic set.

Those of you looking to gather some information on the 5-piece so you can impress your amigos would be interested in this interview with LAist or opening your ear drums to their myspace.

Saturday 9/12 8pm @ Falstaff’s

Frank Cabrara ‘11 writes to us on behalf of Raices, and a Kweli after party:

The time has finally come! Raices presents: Exit 15 – A White Affair. It’s Raices’ end of the year bash that has proven to be a lot of fun year after year. This year’s theme is an all white, semi-formal party, so make sure to look at your best. If you do not have white, no worries! Come stop by Falstaffs on Friday April 24th from 11 PM to 3AM and enjoy the last party of the semester! The party is conveniently after Talib Kweli, so brace yourself for the best night ever!

Friday April 24th from 11pm @ Falstaff’s

Still reeling from the success of last weeks Spillway and Mutual Friends concert this Thursday Lively Lucy’s is happily hosting an Open Mic Night (2/5) at Falstaff’s. Signups from 8-9. Show starts at 9.

Remember Stomp, that percussion troupe that probably got its start begging for food while banging on pots and pans? Well after a series of economic-crisis-caused lootings at Williams-Sonoma, Skidmore’s own Pulse is ready to play their last show of the semester. Two other groups, Stompin’ Soles and Skidaiko, will be joining the “fiesta.”

Instead of making that 4th trip to Burgess for coffee, run on up to Falstaff’s from 8-9pm tonight for some rhythm and blues.

Thursday night we recommend making your way over to Falstaff’s after the TASKparty for some good ol’ fashion battle of the bands fun.  Hosted by Lively Lucy’s and judged by Skidmore’s finest, this semester’s battle of the bands features professional sound and 8 student noise makers.

Performing on that fateful night will be BearRat, Gung Ho, The Burdizzos, Pia, Silent Kids, The Blatant Sellouts, One Night Band, and Safety Alert! Arson. If you’re a groupie for any of these bands (or are in the band) and know about a myspace/bandy webpage thing, post it in the comments so we can all show up and pretend we were into them before they got big.

In an effort to continue the restoration of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast after a slew of hurricanes, Skidmore students have been planning a trip to help out beyond the local ‘Toga community, and are in dire need of funding. This Friday, from 7-12pm in Falstaffs, FYE CAREs will be hosting “Jazz Night,” featuring a showcase of Skidmore jazz musicians, and some Hattie’s chicken for a taste of that real (pre-2004) French Quarter livin’. And since big W has all our country’s money stuffed up Iraq’s bumhole, you’re going to want to buy some cheap tickets, before prices skyrocket at the door, Monday-Thursday in Case.

This Thursday, Falstaff’s will host K Records recording artists Phil Elverum, of Microphones fame, as well as Julie Doiron and Calm Down, It’s Monday. The concert is co-sponsored by Lively Lucy’s and WSPN and is free for students. Falstaff’s will open its doors at 8:30 but the show begins at 9pm, however we recommend you get there early and find yourself a seat.
