SAC and X106 bring live music to University, to start new year with electric excitement - LVm and ckuids tillod the skv, lint inside, a colored assortmonl of Iii;hts shone down on the stage. The Student Activities Council and X 106.7 KZLX-LP Maryville, teamed up for the Sept. 9 concert. They had no idea that bad weather and sorority recruitment parties would affect their turnout. Initially the free concert was scheduled to be held at College Park from 4 p.m. to mid- night, but vas moved into Mary Linn Per- forming Arts Center. Accortling to the news it was supposed to 5et worse as the cJav went on so we felt it was better to put the event inside to ensure safety and that everv band would get a chance to play, said Logan Gallowav, concert commit- tee chair for Student Activities Council. ' I would sav throughout the whole dav we liad 100 people show up. This was less than expected but more than anticipated due to the circumstances. The genre of bands performing ranged from pure rock to bluegrass with soul. Hip Kitty, RPI, Playing with Matches, Carey Ott, rhe Mike Sulli an Band and headliner In- m Hill. Mike Sullixan elaborated on why he felt the University was special compared to t)ther universities he had performed at. Last year I played here solo at the Bell Tower, Sullivan said. It was outdoors and a big bug flew into my guitar, I couldn ' t get him out, he may be dead and still in there, Sulli- van said. The Bell Tower is a reallv cool idea and was a great place to perform at night, as an artist 1 liked it. SAC didn ' t go cheap on the sound they had a really good sound engineer. So that was nice. Students were coaxed down to the front row for Hip Kitt ' ' s performance by lead sing- er Jen Halverson. The one rock band with a female lead singer came all the way from Nashville, Tenn. I really enjoyed Hip Kitty ' s performance, Candace Eads said. I think they were the best. Thev got everyone out of their seats and down to the front. Mike Goncalves, guitarist and vocalist for Hip Kitty, said he was a little surprised by Marvo ' ille ' s small size. We asked where the mall was to someone at Wal-Mart and they said there is none, Goncalves said. It ' s a nice small town and we want everyone to leave saying thev had a good time with us and that was the best show I ' ve ever seen in this town of corn. Headliner Ingram Hill, who described their music as good old fashioned rock ' n ' roll with a little bit of pop and southerness, just wanted everyone to enjoy their show. I hope everyone has fun and leaves the concert thinking they got to listen to some good music and had a good time doing it, Justin Moore of Ingram Hill said. Ingram Hill conside red it an honor to be named the headliner of the concert. It ' s cool; it ' s a reallv good feeling, Moore said. It ' s always nice when vou have some- one that thinks highly enough of you that thev want vou to headline their show. Even after the change in plans, SAC and X106 put together what many thought to be a good show. The bands played extremely well, they really complimented each other, we were on schedule and most importantly those who attended really thoroughly enjoyed them- selves, Galloway said. ■ Writer j Kylie Guier Designer | Sheena Sweatman Audience participation means sing- ing on stage for Brittany Short and Tara Phipps as they join Jen Halverson of Hip Kitty for a song during the Back 2 School Bash.
