Fresh off a successful fall which included a myriad of appearances around campus, Jango Radley is set to take to the stratosphere this semester, both on stage and in the studio. The group formed in early September, with the goal of bringing something to Colgate that has been missing for eons: some much-needed, rump-shaking, body-rocking, pure, unadulterated, fist-pumping funk (also rock, pop, jazz, hip-hop...funk fit best with the sentence).
Comprised of Liz Barnett (The Entrepeneurs, Cabaret) on the vox, Paul Bremer (The Entrepeneurs, Concert Jazz Ensemble) on the trumpet, Dan Lasker (Concert Choir, formerly "Dan Lasker") on the axe, Jake Musiker (Student Government Association, Philosophy Club, 2009 CJU Hanukkah Ball) on da bass, and Eli Raffeld (The Sonic Symposium, and pretty much everything else), the members of Jango Radley have been hard at work honing their craft, seemingly coming up with new songs by the minute as they play. So far, the roof has merely been nudged. Soon, it will be completely obliterated.
Stay tuned to this blog, and check out the band's Facebook page*, for updates on when and where JR will be rocking out in the coming months. And be sure to check out the first performance of the semester, at HOPE FOR HAITI, THIS SATURDAY (1/30) AT THE CHAPEL. Jango will be but one of many student bands performing from 6 to 11pm. Tickets are only $5, and all proceeds will be donated to various Haiti relief funds. Come for the cause, and for the music too!
