The Winner Of The Battle Of The Bands...

...Is named FunkSoulLove? Seriously, guys, are you joking? That might be the worst band name I've heard in recent memory. Bad name and Melodesiac comparisons aside, congratulations to everyone in FSL for defeating the probably not-so-stiff competition in this past Saturday's Battle of the Bands.

Unlike many Tufts' student bands, this one is actually pretty tight. Check out their MySpace if you'd like a taste of what's in store if you're ~~drunk~~ confused enough to actually arrive on time for Spring Fling.

Did they not announce the other acts at the battle of the bands as they usually do? Is it 3EB? DKM? Both? I'm sick of the speculation... Posted 04/07/2008 05:49 AMReply

Wow their Melodisiac Jr. because there are two black people and rap involved. Sorry they couldn't be whiter and more imo like everyone else at Tufts. Just cause melodisiac was the first group to introduce a pretty popular form of music to tufts, you know hip-hop, doesn't mean they have a monopoly on it. Go buy a ****in hip hop cd.

@ Anonymous: I think you should try reading the post again, but perhaps a bit slower. Also, what is this "hip hop" you speak of? Are they a new band? Posted 04/07/2008 07:09 AMReply

I dont understand what everyone is getting upset about...who cares, approximately 6 people watch the opening band anyway (including the people in the band, and nearby concert board people)

Also, I second the first post, any new word on the rock act? Posted 04/07/2008 07:17 AMReply

Hey guys,
it might not be your cup of tea, but they are a good band. you might not like hip hop (or think you know everything about it) and thats fine too. But don't be mad because your emo band (or your friends) didnt win battle of the bands. Sorry kid!--- And of course you would want to hear the rock act. its drop kick murphys woo hoo! sike Posted 04/07/2008 07:25 AMReply

****. Spring Fling needs to be decided by the student body, not the cloistered Concert let's get K-OS, Propagandhi, and the Dropkick Murphys in there. Posted 04/07/2008 09:17 AMReply

yeah...because I'm sure the student body really would have picked K-OS and Propanghi....
the concert board put on an amazing show last year, and it looks like they might do it again this year, so lets give them some credit for 2 in a row (at least busta rhymes isnt involved) Posted 04/07/2008 09:23 AMReply

Of course not, but you're mad if you think the process resembles anything close to a democratic one. Posted 04/07/2008 10:11 AMReply
