INDIE CONCERT: The Front Bottoms
WITH LARCENIST AND CONNOR THUOTTE
Hewitt Union Lounge
DOORS @ 6 PM
Brian Sella and drummer-bullhornist Mathew Uychich have known each other since they were 10 and 8 years old respectively and have been making music for a lot of that time. It shows in the rich hooks and clever rhythms and the effortless way they string riffs together into surprising song structures. Take a song like “Maps” - it opens with half a Sex Pistols riff before going into an orchestral flourish on keyboards. Then there’s a verse complete with a hillbilly hiccup in the vocal followed by an arpeggio guitar part and full-on raging synthetic strings that lurch into handclaps and an enigmatic chorus “one day you’ll be washing yourself with hand soap in a public bathroom,” And that’s in the first minute and a half of the song. Come see what the buzz is about.

THEATRE: Once Upon A Mattress
Music by Mary Rodgers
Book by Jay Thompson, Marshall Barer and Dean Fuller
Lyrics by Marshall Barer
Waterman Theatre, Tyler Hall
“In an era of bigger-is-better theatrical pyrotechnics, Once Upon A Mattress harkens back to an era of simplicity-from-necessity, and its enduring popularity, from the Broadhurst Theatre to high school auditoriums, confirms that there is still appeal in that magic formula.” “Once Upon a Mattress,” wrote the Daily News' Kissel, “shows you can retell fairy tales with wit and sophistication, and, more important, human feeling.”
Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin-off on "Princess and the Pea" tells of royal courtship and comeuppance that provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you'll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.
Presented through special arrangement with Rodgers & Hammerstein Theatricals
