Concert Review- Reel Big Fish

The majority of students missed the epic opener of Earthman Embassy on the big theta chi stage.  Led by the vocal stylings of Mr. Ben Taylor, those present in the crowd were wooed by his British accent and nasty guitar skills.  Will Plaehn supplied the beats on drums, keeping the crowd dancing and captivated throughout the set.  George Zeitler provided some magic on the keys, while Jeremy Padow grooved on the base.  The boys certainly utilized the big-stage set-up, playing a few covers and a few originals.  The most notable cover was an Outkast cover of Hey Ya, putting a large smile on the faces of many students..

Reel Big Fish came out in full ska-glory.  Rocking their hipster gear and party-starting mentality, the band got right into it, starting an hour and a half set that would make about seven hundred Colgate students extremely amped.  Whether it was the fun music, enthusiastic performance or the sheer drunkenness of the Saturday night Colgate crowd, nobody seemed to notice the continuous downpour that lasted throughout the set.  Hundreds left the show satisfied and thoroughly drenched, to go to the official after-party over at DU.  A long day of tailgating (The Raiders moved to 4-0) and quality music provided the atmosphere for an excellent Saturday for all here in Hamilton, NY.
