YOU MAKE MY HEART EXPLODE (Recaps of Terror Pigeon, Netherfriends, Mokaad + more!)

Listen, this week was super stressful. Like really stressful. Our little hearts aren't exactly PROGRAMMED (harharhar) to handle the kind of stress that this week brought. So this weekend was definitely something we needed and hope that you felt the same.

First up was Thursday night's show with Netherfriends and Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt. Things that day were definitely stressy and steamy, and like two things fell through:

1. Burritos. We were supposed to get burritos, hundreds of them, and we couldn't. I won't say why, but just know that it was beyond our power. If we could, we would have burritos available everyday to give to you. We'd have some in our pockets so you could just walk up to us and ask for one whenever you want.
2. The opening band dropped off last minute!

So some plans didn't end up going our way, but anyway it wound up being SO GOOD!

Here is Netherfriends' last song of the night in shitty video quality:



and an absolutely gorgeous montage of Terror Pigeon's set thanks to David Grimaldi!





And the next day was Friday, of course, which ended in an incredible show on mainstage with Mokaad, Ms. Lady, EMEFE and Rainbow Children! Here's a clip from their encore:




All in all we had a great weekend and are even more psyched for this upcoming week! Keep an eye out for events as they're posted on the blog. Also make sure you don't miss the newly posted calendar on the right over there of all the events for the fall semester!

Know that this is just a basic calendar so we will all have stuff to do all the time, but we are definitely always looking for suggestions and ideas from y'all! Please make sure you've joined the Facebook group and know our e-mail is purchaseeventsbrigade[at]gmail[dot]com.

Alright, gonna go make dinner. Enjoy!

Saturday Happenings! QUEER MUSIC FEST + BARS OF GOLD

Hey folkz, two things happening today, right now, this afternoon. Well, there are more things happening than just these two but here are the two to focus on:

Queer Music Fest and Bars of Gold.

So Queer Music Fest is basically an all day fiesta inside and outside of the Student Center with a ton of queer-posi artists, speakers and musicians. Lotsa workshops and lectures and sets being played. That's going to be going on from about 2PM-dawn (or around 11PM, what have you).

Check out more information about that including lineup and more factz about that lineup here.
Definitely worth a stop-in, walk by and a hang out.

And then there's this other show that I'm about to go load-in for with Bars of Gold, who have members that used to be in none other than Bear Vs. Shark! Crazy, right? It's like the Co-op is some unofficial red carpet for iconic bands who broke up. What am I saying. In any case, this is a matinee show starting at 4PM in the Co-Op and will feature Purchase darlings Sirs and Connecticut little brothers Martin Luther King. It's going to be wet and/or wild. What am I saying.

Check out more info about this jawnt here. The flyer below isn't offish, but it rules. Thanks Kyle Seely!

SUNY Purchase Events for the Week of 10/25-10/31

Hey everyone! Here are this week's events at your humble campus of SUNY Purchase. We are sad to see rocktober go, but all good things must come to an end or something. Before you indulge in this calendar, here are some updates to keep in your noggin:

•  This weekend isn't just any weekend, it's Halloweekend! Contrary to last year, there are a lot of neat things going on! Crossroads is being turned into a haunted house I hear. There's also the Terror Trail, a pumpkin pinata in the Stood...get spooky.
• We want your pictures and video! If you have any pictures or recordings from our events, please send it over to us! We would love to showcase recaps of our events on the blog so everyone can regret not coming to them.
• Want to volunteer with us? Get in touch! We always are in need of help of getting the word out, flyering the campus, and getting feedback!
• You probably didn't come to our events planning meeting last week. Lame! We're working for you! If for whatever reason the meeting was at a bad time, you were intimidated or just lazy, don't forget you can get in touch with Cameron and I at cameronwisch[at]gmail[dot]com and elisegranata[at]yahoo[dot]com.
