It's Laxapalooza this weekend, but you already knew that. SU's biggest and brightest names are reuniting...Gait!...Powell!...um...Gait!...er...Powell!...and, uh...Powell!!!
IF you're a lacrossnik, you can certainly do a lot worse than a free event that features:
Number one, convert. But that's a story for a different time. Number two, come on down to Laxapalooza anyway cause there's a Fan Fun Zone(!!!) for everyone to enjoy. And, music lover, there will be a live performance by the band Villains Trust, who just so happens to be fronted by SU lacrosse legend Mike(y) Powell.
"But TNIAAM, what kind of music does Villains Trust play? I have a very discerning ear."
Well why don't you turn down the Radiohead for a few minutes, Fauntleroy, and give their website a little spin. Or if you want to jump right into it, peep this aural sensation...
"But TNIAAM, that's all well and good but I don't just listen to music, I need to feel the artist flowing through me..."
Stop talking to me. But if you insist, let's get to know Villains Trust a little better via their website bio:
"Having discovered and enlisted the talents of three Syracuse-native musicians...the time has come for [Mike] Powell's creative impulses to find a powerful outlet. Together this promising outfit has taken their individual talents and a broad spectrum of influences, and woven a tapestry of sonic power around Powell's soulful voice and story-telling lyrical style."
I don't know exactly what it all means except that if you're going this weekend, try to grab a little bit of that tapestry on your way out. Can you say eBay???

IF you're a lacrossnik, you can certainly do a lot worse than a free event that features:
- A scrimmage by the men's lacrosse team
- A youth clinic for your kids whom you're forcing into the sport since your banking on them getting a full ride to Hobart cause God knows you ain't gonna be able to afford college by then.
- A shooting demonstration by Gary Gait, Paul Gait and Mike Powell.
