Because Music Matters.
This past Thursday, Loyola bands Beauty and the Greek and The Palace at 4AM played at our Late Night Concert. The concert drew one of our biggest crowds to date, so if you weren’t there, you missed out on a great show. Luckily for you, I managed to capture some videos of select songs and the talented Katherine Marshall took some great photographs, all of which you can see after the jump!
As Loyola students, you may be familiar with the Fells Point and Federal Hill sections of Baltimore. Both are fantastic spots chock full of fun and antiquitous housing. Typically overlooked by the Loyola bandwagon however, is Canton.
Canton is another top notch Baltimore area to explore. Quaint or bombastic depending on what time you visit, Canton is full of distinct shops, restaurants and bars. It’s not far from Fells and slightly more set back from the water.
Are you aware that the first drops of Civil War blood were shed in Baltimore? In 1861, the war arrived in Baltimore and the Baltimore Civil War Museum was actually involved.
Originally built as a railroad terminal called President’s Street Station, the Baltimore Civil War Museum was hit during the 1861 riots. After loosing relevance in the early 1900’s the building it spent time as a warehouse and eventually fell idle.
There’s been a definite disconnect lately between me and punk music– well, to be fair, music in general. Still, it’s bands like the newly-formed Beau Navire that are making it nigh impossible to remain apathetic towards the sudden influx of new punk/hardcore/emo related music.
Sun soaked, acid washed, bubble gum surf rockers who smoke weed are all the rage right now, and the release of DOM’s Sun Bronzed Greek Gods is just another example of that. So the ultimate question is whether all these bands are adding something to a fairly shallow industry, or if they’re just a dime a dozen hack jobs?
We all know that this city loves its lacrosse, and lucky for us the season is almost underway. Come down to M&T Bank Stadium on March 12th for the 5th annual edition of the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic for a lacrosse triple-header in order to kick off the season. Lacrosse powerhouses Syracuse, Virginia, and Johns Hopkins will all be returning to the field, yet with new opponents to ensure an exciting event.
