Donbravado is just one of Columbia’s new acts to emerge in the middle of a thriving scene. “Columbia’s scene is growing at a really strong rate,” said Matney, who graduated from USC’s media arts program in May. The Kerouacs, a band made up of only USC students, will also perform tomorrow night. It in cludes second-year journalism student Pat Wall on guitar and vo cals, third-year political science student Jeff Crews on guitar, third-year business student Rob Upfield on drums and third-year English student Jen Autrey on bass. Autrey will not be able to per form at the show, but Crews said the Kerouacs have planned an in teresting replacement: Victor from Vlad, a Columbia band that describes itself as “black metal from Austria.” Crews said this won’t affect the Kerouacs’ sound. For those who want to tap into Columbia’s diverse and growing music scene, this release party is the perfect opportunity. Also, WUSC is considering distributing the release at Manifest so that any one who misses the show won’t also miss out on WUSC’s first compila tion of local acts. The show will start at 9 p.m. and will cost $7. Free copies of the compilation will be given out at the door.
