The Noms won the UNM Battle of the Bands along with Zagadka. The five-person band plays acoustic pop. There were so mirthy, Victor Murthy would’ve approved. As a prize, they will play at Fiestas this April .
Zagadka tied for first place in UNM’s Battle of the Bands thanks to their powerful sense of identity, developed over the last seven years. While other bands seemed unsure of who they were or what they were playing, Zagadka played the show with a clear and confident sound, causing people to sing along. Watch for them at Fiestas this year in April.
After eight and half hours of pounding drums, wailing guitars, crooning vocals and the occasional f-bomb, The Noms and Zagadka emerged the victors of the UNM Battle of the Bands on Sunday in the SUB. The Noms, a five-membered pop acoustic group, sealed its victory with three sets of voices that got the audience on its feet clapping and dancing.
Recently, Google has been having issues controlling the rogue country China, and that makes me wonder what might lie in wait for the United States. Thus far, we have been obedient to our Google overlords. They allow us the illusion of privacy; even though they know all about your interests in cockfighting in New Mexico. It’s OK, they don’t care as long as you keep using Google and click on advertisements every now and then.
Camilo Brokaw, the head of the group and a self-described “Urban Tarzan,” said the group challenges the mainstream thought process concerning walls. “We put up all these walls, literally and figuratively in our culture, and what parkour does is it gives a chance to push upon those walls,” Brokaw said. “To see where those boundaries actually are — for yourself and for your environment. And that as a form of self expression and exploration is what holds people to it.”
The walls of UNM senior Ramona Teo’s home are covered in paintings from ceiling to floor. After high school, she lived in Malaysia, where she honed skills for drawing intricate geometric patterns. Now she designs graphics for T-shirts, bags and pins at her father’s business, Guerrilla Graphix, a local art and print store. She has a one-eyed cat.
So let me explain what’s happening here: Chris, the dope who usually writes columns for Friday is probably too busy checking his Facebook while spraying himself with Axe during a “Family Guy” marathon, so I am filling in for him.
Meredith Wilder, a junior in the music education program, is signed with local label Royalty Life. She plays guitar and sings at local coffee shops and open mics around town. Her music is calm and tranquil in the vein of Great Lake Swimmers and Iron and Wine. She has a twin sister.
Guys, Axe makes girls want to play with your balls.
Do you dress for yourself or for others?
UNM junior Billy Joe Miller is working toward a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts in painting and photography. His installation, “Tomorrow is Spring,” opens Friday at 7 p.m. at the Normal Gallery. The show is a multimedia conglomeration of photography, painting and found photos that have been altered digitally, as well as other visual projects set amid antique furniture. Local bands Hedia and North America are also playing looped-cellos and electronic instruments at the show. It’s an occasion to dress up — wear something old and something new, Miller said.
Daily Lobo: So what it is you study at UNM? Emily McMaster: I am studying printmaking. DL: How did you get into printmaking? EM: I’ve been studying printmaking in New York for two years. I am only here for this next semester. I was taking lithography last semester, which is really nice because we didn’t have that at the school I was going to, and the department here is fantastic. DL: So how did you find yourself here? EM: I grew up here. DL: Do you like New York or New Mexico better? EM: It depends. I think the print department here is of higher quality than the one I was working at. But … I really enjoyed all the resources in New York. DL: Can you give me an example? EM: I was going to school upstate actually, and it’s about two hours up north of New York City on the Hudson River. There’s a train out of New York City, so I can go to different print studios, different print shops, different museums and visit artists’ studios — kind of soak in the culture up there. DL: Is the culture radically different here? EM: It’s not that it’s radically different. It’s just there’s not the abundance of art there is in New York City, and everything (is) sequestered to one island. DL: The art scene isn’t as prominent in Albuquerque, but it’s still there. Do you ever do the First Friday Artscrawl? EM: I haven’t done that. I am kind of a square when it comes to Albuquerque, but I know there’s a bed of talent. Even here at UNM, I have seen some really awesome openings. DL: So what else is different about UNM? EM: The school here at UNM is much larger than the school I was going to, so you just have an array of artists making work as opposed to just a handful. There are like 15 art majors in my grade where I was going. DL: Where were you going? EM: Bard (College). DL: So what’s the community like here compared to New York? EM: Well, the community here is much more tight-knit — it depends if you’re talking about New York City. The college I was going to was in the middle of the forest, so everyone knew everyone. DL: So out of curiosity who has better food, here or there? EM: At the school I was going to, I ate mainly on campus, so it was bagels and pizza pretty much everyday. And here I am kind of sick of all the food in the area. I don’t have a car or bike so I am on foot, but in New York City you can get anything at any hour. So, I kind of miss that.
Now I know a lot of you watch, and maybe even enjoy, the show “Family Guy,” but let me tell you — you are wrong.
Classical music echoes throughout a small building filled with sleeping cats. When Barbara Handal comes in, a cat rams her head against the glass door and meows loud enough to be heard over the music. When she moves closer to the door, the cat falls to the floor, sticks her paw underneath the door, and again yelps when Handal finally enters and starts petting the cat.
A normal collegiate track athlete might compete in up to four events. When Lobo track and field athlete Richard York steps onto the curved slopes of an indoor track, he competes in seven.
Like every other sane person, I would like to burn my eyes out with hair spray every time someone updates their status with a vague combination of nouns and adjectives that might as well say, “Ugh! Look at me feeling emotions right now! Look at my emotion!” but with a thousand more exclamation marks because their feelings are just that intense.
“Dead Man’s Cell Phone” deals with the most important question regarding the afterlife: What happens to our cell phone after we pass on?
