By Miles Arntzen

On a stormy Friday night in early May, an assortment of FS musicians and bands played their hearts out to an engaged crowd in the Meetinghouse. This was the official Friends Seminary Battle of the Bands, and it was exciting. The night started with a bang, and that bang came in the form of CJ Fujimura. He performed a small assortment of his solo music on acoustic guitar and was joined on a couple songs by fellow guitarist Travis Bogosian. The listeners were engaged in his meaningful lyrics and sensual guitarwork, and were left wanting much, much more.

For this and much, much more of Mr. Arntzen’s article, be sure to check out the final issue of the newspaper, which will be coming out in early June. Mr. Arntzen will also be reviewing some albums for the final issue.

NOTE: Quaker Consensus of the Bands is just another name for the Battle of the Bands that Miles was referring to. Anyway…

Tomorrow Night
6:00 – 8:30
Meetinghouse
And…FREE.

That’s right, tomorrow night (May 9) is the Quaker Consensus of the Bands. This moy caliente (and yes, I will do my best to never use that phrase again) concert is going to feature Maia Pillot, CJ Fujimura, Lucky Red, the Vagabonds, Freundlich and Friends (hint: it involves Nick Freundlich), and the Family (featuring Burke Williams, Dylan Ettlinger, and hair-care expert Alex DaSilva).

Anyone can attend. Even those who are afraid of music (this group has included myself ever since I realized in 8th grade that I sang higher than half the girls in the Bank Street chorus) should take the time to attend. So, come, support, and enjoy.

Meetinghouse. 6:00. Free! What more do you need to know?
