I’d imagine that the musical tastes of Tech students vary a bit from what is considered the “norm.” Even when you compensate for factors such as age, I would imagine a few unusual band names would pop through.

Umphrey’s McGee, a progressive jam-band based out of Chicago, performed at the Tabernacle on Feb. 6. The venue seemed to be lacking in attendance at first while opening act Dubconcious was performing. Slowly, the Tabernacle was becoming a sardine can of a venue as Umphrey’s McGee was inching to performance. The crowd would burst into screams when slight movements on stage were seen, and Umphrey’s McGee did not tease for a long time.

Infinite Harmony is the “Mixed Contemporary” branch of the A Capella Club at Tech. Founded in 2004, Infinite Harmony has 18 members. This makes for a perfect ratio. Like the other groups under the club, it is by audition each semester.

Badfish, a Sublime tribute band, opened up their musical doors to the Atlanta public on Nov. 7 at Variety Playhouse. The night started out with band Scotty Don’t playing music reminiscent of Bob Marley’s feel-good tunes featuring their rendition of “One Love.” Although the mediocre performance gathered a lullaby of listeners, the band finished up with a more modern version of The Beatles’ “Hey Jude.” The easy going melodies soon sublimated to the blend of punk, rock and reggae.

This past Sunday popular Atlanta music venue The Tabernacle was once again transformed into a pop punk jam fest with the OP Presents Boys Like Girls Tour, along with fellow acts Cobra Starship, The Maine, A Rocket to the Moon and VersaEmerge Tour. While Boys Like Girls were the headlining group, many left feeling that Cobra Starship deserved that spot.

The Tabernacle is a popular music venue right in the heart of Atlanta that hosts some of the biggest concerts not quite big enough to be in Phillips Arena. Last Friday it was transformed into pop-punk heaven as the Glamour Kills Tour descended, featuring headlining act All Time Low.

The Used visited the Tabernacle last Sunday along with lesser-known and younger bands The Almost and Ride A. The show started weakly but moved up from there after a chaotic and frenetic start.
