It's something that I wish everyone could experience- playing in a band. My band, The Phonographs, formed in high school and although we still play sometimes, we're really not a actively functional group. Playing a gig gave me a very unique feeling; unlike performing in speech or theatre in high school, I was never nervous for a gig with my band. It's pure enjoyment. At least this was my experience.
Snake Bite Tuesday, founded over the summer of 2006, is a student band currently playing on the U of I campus. The band consists of lead singer Nich Palcovic, guitarist Carl Radosevich, guitarist Brandon Shaver, drummer Scott Greuel, and bassist Brian McCormick. "Basically we just like to rock out and have fun," said Radosevich.
I took these photos at one of the bands rehersals on Monday, January 15, 2007 while doing a feech for the Daily Illini. Sitting in on their practice reminded me what it was like being in a band. It's a lot of fun and sometimes you even get paid for it.
Snake Bite Tuesday will be performing next:
Tuesday, Jan. 30th @ White Horse, 9pm | Friday, Feb. 2nd @ Bar Louie, 9pm
