The Spring Concert Festival is finally here. Tomorrow night, April 27, Hinder, rock's recent addition to the music scene, will be rocking out the Pitt Center.
"I can't wait to hear 'Lips of an Angel' one of Hinder's well-known hits," said Kim Redman, junior, East Bridgewater, Mass. "It's such a meaningful song to me."
Hinder is straight out of Oklahoma City. The band was formed about five years ago when guitarist, Joe Garvey and drummer, Cody Hanson heard vocalist Austin Winkler at a college party performance. Other members of the band are Mark King on the guitar and Mike Rodden on bass.
Hinder's concert tour is promoting their debut album, Extreme Behavior released in 2005. This album includes songs, 'How Long,' 'Lips of an Angel' and 'Better Than Me.'
Friday night's concert will kick off with two opening bands, Operator and Days in the New.
"It's exciting that SHU has been having all types of artists to appeal to other groups of people. I enjoy different types of rock groups," said Melissa Allen, junior, Bernardson. "'Get Stoned' is one of my favorite songs by Hinder."
Events such as the spring concert give students the opportunity to help the student event team play a role in the concert production. Students have the choice to be apart of the advertising, concession stand, security and hospitality crew for each spring concert.
"I'm excited to work with the hospitality crew again for the Hinder concert because when I worked it for the Goo Goo Dolls' concert I got to meet them," said Shaun Mitchell, junior, Cresskill. "It would be great to meet the members of Hinder."
"I am working on the hospitality crew for the Hinder concert. It's a great way to see what goes on behind the scenes," said Matt Jarvis, sophomore, Cape Cod, Mass. "I bet it will be so exciting with all the commotion going on."
Tickets went on sale in the beginning of February. According to Denise Tibero, about 2,000 tickets where sold to the SHU community and public for the Hinder concert.
Concert coordinators originally thought that Hinder would have opened for the Goo Goo Doll concert, but Hinder offered to perform their own concert for adoring fans. As hype builds on campus, be sure to catch Hinder tomorrow night.
