LYERLY Columbia has experienced a dry spell for _ the past couple of months, not only in the f weather, but in the music scene. ' Columbians always have the option to drive to Charlotte or Atlanta for a good show, but sometimes it's just nice to get in your car and drive 5 or 10 minutes to Five Points for a quality live performance. uonvementiy enougn, two great regional acts played at the Elbow Room this past Friday. Dayroom, a quirky pop quartet from Athens, Ga, opened up for Columbia's own Danielle Howie and the Tantrums. Neither of these bands, especially Danielle Howie and the Decisions...

During the regular school year, they each perform almost every two months. Dayroom, who usually headlines when they visit the Elbow Room, gave a lively opening set. Their performance was perhaps even more energetic than usual, since the audience consisted of not only Dayroom fans, but of Danielle Howie fans as well. And since Jump, Little Children (who often perform with Dayroom) went to New York Friday to give their only concert this summer, many of their fans decided to stick around and attend this show instead. Dayroom played a couple of new songs, but the reliable oldies such as "Cheap Wine," "Do BUY4SELL4TRADE RgfejM mmm Thousands of New and Used Compact Discs, Cassette Tapes and Vinyl LP's & 45's POP + ROCK + URBAN + R&B JAZZ + BLUES + CLASSICAL 2014 greene street Columbia,sc 29205 phone: 803 256-0095 hours: mon-sat 10-7 sun 1-6:: www.papajazz.com/ cisions...

They also played a couple new songs and announced that they were preparing to take a vacation and record some new material. They opened with a slow one, "Hey You," but picked up the pace with their radio friendly "She Has a Past," followed by "Host for the Notes," "Red Candles,"and "Where Were You."

Danielle and the others passed out sparklers to eveiyone in the audience before the last song of the night. Dayroom's drummer, Brad Zimmerman, sang Neil Diamond's "Coming to America," with great patriotic spirit and enthusiasm. Jimmy Riddle, Dayroom's keyboard player, also switched roles and played the melodica, a keyboard/whistle hybrid. The rest of the members of each band gave an all-out performance, which not only put me in the mood for Fourth of July fireworks and barbeque, but it also got me looking forward to n i-i l l_ * _ tne lorthcommg year 01 music in uoiumuia. mm <29> Classes begin JikiJUiaM July July 14 for BLMiiJBBiaJJjHH the September exam.
