Extravagonza!

So UCSB's AS Program Board finally released the Extravaganza line up and I'm not disappointed.  Though they never really have let me down in the past, this year is going to be particularly enjoyable simply because 1. I have heard of all of the bands playing 2. I enjoy all of the bands playing.  For some of you, a few of the artists may raise some questionable flags (Wolfgang Gartner, Surfer Blood) but let me reassure you that this line up is going to be a great way to end the quarter and kick off summer.  Let's take a look at Gartner first.

I was first introduced to WG's dancy/house stuff with the song Undertaker below:

That was from 2010 and in his latest track, Redline, we get a taste of the direction that EDM has gone over the last two years.  Very danceable and very fun.

The next group is one that I have recently discovered and am glad that they are part of this years line up because c'maan!  We gotta satisfy our indie music bloodlust.  Surfer Blood, as this group is known, will fit perfect right after the Fire Department and right before Iration, building the excitement for the grand finale with S N double-O P D O double-G Y, D O double-G!  To get you better acquainted with Surfer Blood, here are a few songs they might play.

Well I hope you will enjoy these two artists at Extravaganza.  If you don't like the lineup, don't complain because it makes you look like a spoiled bitch. Cheers!
