Where's the music scene?
It's official. No good bands come to Purdue. Okay so I don't know about the past years but Purdue really sucks at getting any sort of mainstream bands to come here. We had the chance to book some big band for homecoming weekend but did we?! Of course not. The people on the committee who books concerts needs to get it straight in their heads that not many people who attend this university hail from Lafayette. I am fortunate to know that thankfully someone booked two Chicago bands to play in Lafayette in November which I am going to but besides that, I feel like everyone seems just as puzzled as I am as to why no one gets their butt over here! There's no reason students should have to drive to Indianapolis or Chicago to see a good show. What CAN be done is to have everyone go online and vote for Dave to come here! The show would be free which is pretty much amazing. I heard there was a problem that tickets at Elliott would be really expensive, but clearly we have sufficient space to have them outside. Spring would be a good time to have a big name here because everyone is pumped for the warm weather and for school to be over soon. I say everyone should non-stop email their favorite bands to get them to play for us boilermakers.

Hey, I have never really thought about that but you are right no good bands do come to Purdue. It would be nice to go out to see a good concert, but instead the best thing we can get is a Jim Gaffigan comedy concert. What is up with that?
Who are the 2 chicago area bands? I hail from that region...
Spitalfield and The Graduate. The Graduate is really from Springfield but they still count as a Chicago band because they're always in the city. Ever heard of either?
