Black 47 at Pub show Friday night

Submitted by the pub committee division of SocComm
Last friday night, WPI's Pinnochio's Exit opened up for Black 47, an Irish band from NewYork that blended political lyrics into a combination of rock, reggae, funk, hip-hop, and traditional Irish music. The event, held in Alden Hall, was sponsored by the Pub Committee division of the Social Committee. The band consisted of a lead singer/guitarist, kileann piper, saxophone/baritone clarinet player, brass musician, bassist, and percussionist. Besides getting the 120+ crowd to dance, jig, and sing along, the band invited one lucky Irish "daughter" onstage to dance with the lead singer. All in all, a great time was had by both the audience and the energetic musicians.
