On Thursday September 9th 2010 WSPC hosted their first concert of the semester which ran from 7:30-10pm in Roy Irving Theater. Opening the night up was SPC’s own, Blaise Delfino. The freshman showed his guitar, and vocal talents by performing some covers as well as a few originals. During his set, the singer-songwriter informed the audience of his upcoming show with Ryan Cabrera on October 8th at Crocodile Rock in Allentown Pennsylvania. After his set, Blaise signed photos for his fans. In between sets, the audience enjoyed food from Prince of Pizza while the WSPC staff entertained them with music, dancing and some contests. Following Blaise was the Nico Blues, a folk/indie rock band from Wayne NJ. Three of their members could not be in attendance that evening, so an acoustic set was performed by their one vocalist/guitarist and their bassist. In honor of the band’s folk / Americana sound, the light engineers had Lady Liberty herself make a guest appearance every once and a while. Their set included many tracks off of their latest release ‘Blame the boredom, Blame the Basements’.
Once the Nico Blues wrapped their set up, Second Thoughts took to the stage. This three-piece alternative rock band played some tracks off of their demo CD ‘Stage Nine’, as well as covers of Brand New’s ‘The Quiet Things that No One Ever Knows’ and Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ which started a very small but full of energy mosh pit. And to close the night out was Eyeball Records and Brooklyn’s very own Food Stamps. Despite their laptop being stolen earlier in the week, the band came out and performed a short yet intimate set. This band has been receiving quite a bit of buzz over on thebrooklynvegan.com and even listed on the L’s magazines 8 Bands you Need to Hear. With their own lighting equipment and with a little help of a fog machine this band’s stage presence and stage show is one that no one should miss out on.
