`Thursday night concert keeps the music rolling
Performing last Thursday night in Millersville’s Club de Ville were two young rock bands. Sponsored by the UAB, the first band to take the stage was a local group known as Kingsfoil. Named after a plant from the film series “Lord of the Rings,” the band was lead by Jordan Davis on vocals and guitar. Formerly in a duo with Davis, Tristan Martin was on the keyboard as well as the guitar and vocals. Since about 2007, supporting the bass line of Kingsfoil is Tim Warren and playing the drums is Joe Cipollini. Warren and Cipollini are MU alumni and were glad to be back at their old college doing what they love. Originally from the York/Lancaster area, the performers supplied a melody and sound that is best heard on an enjoyable summer night car ride. Influenced by bands such as Paramore, Kingsfoil is successful at producing new Era rock music similar to the popular rock band known as The Fray.
Double concert: The warm vibes of spring
Last Thursday, the Universities Activity Board UAB sponsored a free double-band feature at Club De ‘Ville. At 8 PM, the first band, known as The Sketties, took the stage. The six talented performers originated in Lancaster. The band’sname is synonymous with spaghetti, and is different to say the least. The name is to prove non-conformity by the band. They wanted to be called something differentand unique, but not so original, and thus The Sketties were born.
David Stein performs
On March 25 Millersville’s UAB sponsored a concert that was held 8-10 p.m. featuring David Stein. Originally from the D.C. area, the talented musician claims to have found his roots in Pa. He now performs all over using his smooth vocals complemented by an articulated strumming of his acoustic guitar. Although he performed by himself on Thursday, Stein typically is accompanied by two other band members or takes part as a feature among other musicians.
