Owen, Hot Water Music part
of November indie rock flood
BY WILLIAM MILLS
THE GAMECOCK
It seems that every year about
this time, there’s a huge surge in
the number of underground rock ,
shows that come to Columbia.
This month is dotted with con
certs most underground rockers
would travel hundreds of miles
to se^.
On Nov. 6 at New Brookland
Tavern, the emotional rock band
Owen is coming. Owen is Mike
Kinsella from American Football
and Owls. He’s playing the con
cert with Rainer Maria’s Kyle
Fischer and Caithlin De Marrais.
This concert will surely prove to
be a jump into the emotive pool
of indie rock.
On Nov. 9, be prepared for a
taste of something from indie
rock’s classic days. Stephen
Malkmus, former Pavement lead
singer, is coming to Uncle
Doctor’s with his band, the Jicks.
Malkmus has been in the under
ground rock scene since the be
ginning. His previous band,
Pavement, will remain one of the
most well-known indie bands of
all time.
On Nov. 13, get ready for a
night of passion and high-octane
rock with the return of Hot Water
Music. The last time Hot Water
Music came to Columbia, crowd
members were so enthusiastic,
they stormed the stage and began
singing with the band. Appearing
with Hot Water Music will be Hot
Rod Circuit. But that’s not all;
Rival Schools, a newly formed
band from the remnants of
Quicksand and CIV, will per
form. It’s changed styles and is
transforming its sound into one
that’s unique and powerful, plac
ing it among the indie rock greats
of this month.
On Nov. 18, Columbia will wel
come back Element 101 and
Fairweather. Emotional rock
greats Piebald will play a barrage
of the songs that made them one
of the most popular and well
known Emo bands of all time.
On Nov. 25, Columbia will be
graced with the presence of‘70s
style rockers The Strokes. The
band’s unique style of muffled vo
cals and NY rock’n’ roll has made
it one of today’s fastest growing
rock bands. These grungy kids,
all 23-years-old or younger, have
achieved stardom almost imme
diately. The group is playing to
packed crowds while staying true
to its underground sound. Its first
album, Is This It?, hias almost im
mediately brought it fame. So, 1
guess it is it.
