For everyone who may have found the Ex-Models a bit abrasive - and I hope that those people are in the minority, because that band put on an incredible show - these next few weeks might be for you. Last night, Jack Magee's played host to underground hip-hop act The Understudies. Featuring the New York emcee Sixth Sense, this group is signed to the Freshchest label, and put on a great show.

Information about their sound was hard to find. They were recommended by Bowdoin hip-hop king DJ Marquee, who be opened for them on turntables. As we all remember, Marquee puts on a great show, and last night was no exception.

Next week, the pub will feature the return of virtuoso guitarist Michael Kelsey. Having played here several times before, Kelsey's show is always a hit, amazes the audience, and is brought in conjunction with our good friends at Howell House. Come see an awesome display of acoustic guitar showmanship.

November 7 will feature another return of a Jack Magee's regular, indie-rocker Sam Bisbee. Brother of sculpture professor John Bisbee, Sam's show is always a good one, and the chance of him luring his brother up on stage should be enough to get everyone to come by - as if his music is not enough of a reason.

Later in November, instrumental techno band Concentric will play and last but not least, the semester of senior pub nights will end with several shows featuring Bowdoin talent. On November 23, local songwriter David Bullard will be hosting an evening of singer/songwriters from all over the northeast, as well as a slew of Bowdoin songwriters. If anyone in the Bowdoin community is interested in playing 3-4 original songs that night, send me an email at cthibade@bowdoin.edu.

Around the same time, the pub should be featuring a night of Bowdoin's beloved a capella groups, and then the final senior pub night of the semester will feature campus bands. If anyone out there has a band that would like to play at senior pub night, email me at cthibade@bowdoin.edu. This is not battle of the bands, just a chance to showcase the wonderful talent of all the people in the Bowdoin community.
