Get ready to rock, Fanshawe!
You're all expecting to deal with
Orientation activities, classroom
introductions and those first few
assignments of the school year
during Frosh Week. But you've
also got to make some time for fun,
so let loose and enjoy some great
music while you get into the swing
of college life.
Monsters of Schlock — September 5, 8:30 p.m. in Forwell Hall
Kick off Frosh Week the right way by stepping into the wacky, schlocky world of this “two-man circus sideshow extravaganza.” This free show will have you screaming with laughter — and probably just plain screaming — as you watch the Masters combine physical stunts with slapstick comedy.
Craig Cardiff — September 6, 12 p.m. in Forwell Hall
The FSU presents Music Nooners — free concerts in Forwell Hall — almost every Thursday, and Waterloo's folk musician Craig Cardiff will be playing the first Music Nooner of the school year. The Juno Award-winner has released 11 studio albums since 1996. His soft vocals and guitar work will have you relaxed and ready for more.
Cadence Weapon — September 7, 9:30 p.m. in the Out Back Shack
This Edmonton-based rapper just released his third studio album in late May. Cadence Weapon's sound is inspired by his father's DJ career and acts such as Daft Punk and Basement Jaxx. You can buy tickets for $5 in advance at the Biz Booth or pay $7 at the door. Opening acts are to be announced.
Hey Rosetta!, Zeus, Olenka and The Autumn Lovers — September 11, 8 p.m. in SUB Courtyard
This year's orientation concert features three Canadian bands. Hailing from St. John's, Newfoundland, Hey Rosetta! delivers an energetic show. Layering piano, cello and violin gives this band a unique sound. Zeus, a Toronto-based indie band, promises an upbeat and fun performance. And finally, London's own Olenka and the Autumn Lovers mix lively folk pop with classic country and folk music. Get your tickets in advance at the Biz Booth for $10 or at the door for $15. The show will be moved to J Gym 1 and 2 if there's rain.
Monster Truck, The Gentlemen Husbands, The Baxters — September 13, 9:30 p.m. in Forwell Hall
You can expect a mix of animated rock and laid-back country from Gentlemen Husbands, who Fanshawe is welcoming for the first time. “We're focused on a very simple, sleek sort of rock and roll sound,” said Ryan Hutcheson, the band's guitarist. “Our style has definitely changed — it's become a bit more pop-y again and a bit more folk-y as well.” Catchy tunes delivered by The Baxters will have you singing along, while the headlining act, Monster Truck (who just opened for Slash at Rock the Park 9), promises a groovy rock and roll sound. Tickets are $6 in advance at the Biz Booth and $8 at the door.
The Balconies — September 21, 9:30 p.m. in the Out Back Shack
The Balconies are looking forward to playing a free show at Fanshawe College. This Ottawabased indie band finds inspiration from “anything under the sun,” said guitarist Stephen Neville. “Our inspirations are pretty vast. We love anything from The Beatles and the Rolling Stones and classic stuff like that up to more modern things like Yeah Yeah Yeahs.”
