Itchy Fish plays to full crowd in Alden


by Nate Howells - Pub Committee Chair

On Thursday, January 11, the WPI Social Committee hosted Itchy Fish, a group known throughout New England as the area's premiere Pearl Jam cover band. Over 270 students attended the show held in Alden Memorial Hall. Opening was cardBoArDbob, a well-known local band consisting of WPI students who finally got a chance to fulfill their dream of performing in one of the greatest auditoriums in Worcester. The audience thoroughly enjoyed the performance which also included songs not by Pearl Jam.

The next PUB show will be held in Riley Commons on Friday, Jan. 26. The featured performers are "The Friggs," a band out of the New York area consisting of four women performing a style of rock and roll similar to a hybrid punk/Stray Cats combination. Saturday, February 17, there will be a hardcore show again in Riley Commons featuring some of the best talent in the local hardcore scene, including one group that is rumoured to be opening for internationally renowned artists Napalm Death, one of the bands on the Mortal Kombat soundtrack. March 22 will see the fourth annual performance by Big Catholic Guilt and WPI's colorblind. BCG are often heard on WAAF's local rock show Sunday nights and are one of the best techno-industrial acts in the Boston area. The traditional Indiefest will also happen at the end of D-term; this is the exclusive showcase of WPI musical talent, both electric and acoustic.
