On Saturday at 8 p.m., the two Cal Poly wind bands will be joined by the Pride of the Pacific Marching Band to perform their annual Bandfest.
Wilco’s 2002 album may be album of the year
“Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” pulled in a lion’s share of the notable album of the year stampings from press outlets, ranging the spectrum from independent-minded Webzines to, well, “Entertainment Weekly.”
Drum solos taken extreme
This album is so sincere that by the end of the article I will have exhausted my thesaurus’ synonyms and antonyms of the word “earnest.”
Atlas Sound’s second album more upbeat than expected

WOW: musical events
The WOW Block Party has become synonymous with club booths and free gifts. This year’s lineup also includes several musical performances live on Dexter Lawn.
