On Sunday night, a crowd of over a thousand dedicated Janelle Monae fans were treated to what was hands down one of the greatest concerts at Cornell this fall. After the heart wrenching soulful serenades delivered by first special guest Timothy Bloom, second opening act F.U.N. shredded the stage with a lively mix of both [...]

This homecoming weekend was crowned by Cornell’s main attraction- B.o.B. I did not realize how popular he was until I stood right in the middle of the crowd of overexcited college students all pushing and screaming to get to B.o.B. Every single one of B.o.B’s songs had an electric effect on the audience (seniors and [...]

Lupe Fiasco ft. K’NAAN @ Barton Hall April 17th, 2011

Broadway Stars Shine On African School-building By Jennifer Pierre There are certainly a lot of things to appreciate about the town of Ithaca, from its quirky residents to its local shops to the beautiful spring and summer weather starting to settle in for the season. As Cornell students we are lucky enough to live in [...]

After a lengthy intermission following the opener, which proved to be an agitating wait for fans, a sold-out crowd in Bailey hall was stunned to silence as Andrew Bird took the stage and the sound of his violin filled the building. His classically styled and stunningly beautiful opening song made it clear to the audience, [...]

by Elana Max Dahlager On November 5th, 2010, Ithaca College’s Bureau of Concerts (their answer to Fanclub, or maybe CCC) hosted their inaugural on-campus show. Who’d they bring? Why, last year’s blog darling and chillwave pioneer Neon Indian, of course. You remember Psychic Chasms, right? That album that came out last year, with the song [...]

Saturday, November 6 was a long-awaited night for the hundreds of people who scrambled to get a hold of KiD CuDi tickets just weeks earlier. Tickets for the concert sold out within minutes both to Cornellians and to the general public. Whether people paid the selling price of $20 or up to $100 or more [...]

September 29 was not just another Wednesday for fans of the indie band Bear In Heaven.  The Brooklyn-based trio played at Ithaca’s local bar, Castaways, preceded by two opening acts.         Oberhofer was the first opening act, starting fashionably late at precisely 9:15 p.m.  These four young men were a combination of hipsters and couch [...]

A warm spring evening is one of the best times to go to a concert. The Ithaca weather gods were kind enough to grant us one of those evenings last Monday, April 19th, and it coincided, almost uncannily, with a great line-up at the quaint and intimate coffee house/musical venue of The Shop. Family Portraits, [...]

The shouts of, “LUDA, LUDA, LUDA!” resounded around the halls of Barton Hall on February 28, 2009. Too bad for the “I’m-too-cool-to-pay-for-a-ticket-this-early” fans, who attempted to pay over $50.00 for a ticket over Facebook, hours before the show (cue the Fbook status of: “If anyone has extra Luda tix, message me plz!!!”). Hoping this concert [...]
