Club Sumo I, 2, and 3

I have to admit that I do not know much about Sumo wrestling. I was so happy to find that Club Sumo would be holding events at White Eagle Hall. World Championship Sumo (WCS) oversaw the three events. All three tournaments were sold out and had a loud, enthusiastic crowd. While I’m not sure if the crowd understood the solemn nature of Japanese Sumo - but they truly supported their favorites.

Jeff Rosenstock - Frenetic, passionate, and a really fun time

It is my sincere belief that Rosenstock has fully tapped into the minds and souls of the late 20’s crowd. They grew up with Rosenstock’s music and he seems like he has captured the essence of growing up post 9/11 and trying to find their own voices and paths in the world. Beyond that - Rosenstock is just plain fun to watch.

The Feelies - a slow burn to chaos

Anyone who has seen The Feelies knows that you have to invest your time. They generally start slow, sometimes even as a different band called, The Willies. But don’t let the slow cooking fool you.

Dave Stewart - Half of the Eurythmics but 100% soul

The 1980’s were certainly made more interesting with the rise of MTV. The Eurythmics were part of that movement. Creating haunting melodies with catchy songs made for music that has lasted the test of time. Dave Stewart assembled a stellar band (of all women btw) and offered up a truly engaging evening of music.
