Battle of the Bands

Well, if you haven't heard who won the battle of the bands for spring weekend or didn't know there was even a battle of the bands to pick an opener for spring weekend, I've got the scoop. The lucky bands chosen to open for the greatest band in the world, Yellowcard, are Webster, the judges choice, and Hiroko Saki, the audience choice. Now, I'm not sure if this is true since I am basing it on my memory (which is not good), but Webster played last year. Dammit, I really don't know. I really want to be all facts here. And by facts, I mean things I am choosing to completely believe with little to no evidence. Well I guess the evidence I need is the awesome power of Webster. How could they NOT have opened last year. Anyway, I have taken the time to thoroughly research both bands.

Webster: They are fronted by that kind of hippie kind of ghetto dude with the crazy beard and long hair who I've actually seen working construction on campus (odd). There are two other members that I know less about. The guitarist is some cute blond chick. And the drummer has really short hair. They play songs that I guess one would describe as 'funky'. I wouldn't, because I hate that word. And not what it implies, just the word in general. I believe this is a sufficient description.

Hiroko Saki: I've stumbled into Rodrigues before, obviously frightened, but managed to see Hiroko Saki. They put on...an interesting show. It's really loud but not in a bad way, and their songs often humorously muse on fordham...and their efforts to be studly, topics to which any soul in our small sub-subculture can easily relate. I look forward to the possibilities of fordham's administration shutting them down (hopefully with tear gas and unavoidable media coverage) and also for "Nelso" to be so loud that the Black Israelite dude on Fordham Rd gets pissed that he is being disturbed while he is trying to concentrate.

Yeah, this pretty much sums it up.
