- NAZZ hits campus this weekend (Amanda Greco & Laura Kelly Scene Editor and Assistant Scene Editor)
Thirteen bands and seven solo artists will take to the stages at Senior Bar as NAZZ kicks off its 13th campuswide battle of the bands. The show, open to all ages, will begin at 8 p.m. The evening's entertainment will be guided by comedic emcees including Ryan Cunningham, Joe Howarth and Ted Fox. Sponsored by the Student Union Board, NAZZ "showcases bands with different tastes and influences that touch all aspects of the musical spectrum," according to Emmett Malloy, head of SUB campus entertainment. Interested contestants submitted applications and demo tapes several weeks ago. "Bands were selected on professionalism and their ability to thrill the crowd," Malloy said. "Seniority and the general vibe their performance gave were also taken into consideration. " While there were no restrictions on the number of covers that a band had, selectors were more interested in original material.
