Halloween Extravaganza

Anonymous and An Umpire Conscience rock Elon

Virginia Galvez / A&E Editor

This week holds a great deal for some of Elon's student bands. In particular, Anonymous and An Umpire Conscience, formerly known as Thick as Thieves will be playing two shows together as the school celebrates Halloween festivities. Anonymous and An Umpire Conscience are performing tonight at 10:30 p.m. at Hambone's in Burlington and Monday, October 31 at 10:30 p.m. at Lighthouse Tavern in Elon. Admission for each of these shows is under $5.

According to information given in a recent press release, those who dress up for these gigs will defiantly have a good time. "If you dress up in a costume, you drink for free; it's as simple as that. We want our fans to enjoy our music and have a little Halloween fun as well," said Nick MacDaniels, lead vocalist for Anonymous. Anonymous will be providing free kegs for those in costume and it is rumored that both bands will be sporting some festive clothing as well. "Plan to be surprised," said MacDaniels.

Anonymous has been playing together on and around Elon's campus for over four years. Through a mix a classical and modern musical influences, the band writes songs with a bit of rock and reggae mixture.

An Umpire Conscience recently started putting on shows in Elon. They describe their music style as "an array of jazz, lounge, rock and roll and electronic wizardry." For more information, check out their website at http://www.myspace.com/anumpireconscience.

Stay tuned for more updates on these two bands, and be sure to stop by for some great Halloween fun and good music.
