Off Yer Rockers

November 09, 2008 // 0 Comments // Add yours »

On Monday, I went to the Co-Op to see the school's faculty rock band. I went because my Psychology professor from last semester plays rhythm guitar in the band and sang lead vocals for about half of the songs. According to their website, http://web2.uconn.edu/rockers/rockers.html, the band consists of

Davita Silfen Glasberg (Sociology): Vocals

Harry Frank (Chemistry): Vocals and Bass Guitar

Eric Jordan (Mechanical Engineering): Drums

David Miller ((Psychology): Vocals and Rhythm Guitar

Ernie Zirakzadeh (Political Science): Lead Guitar

They mostly cover Oldies songs but occasionally they do some newer songs. They played many songs, among them, "Gimme Some Lovin'" by The Spencer Davis Group, "Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones, and "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay. To see a list of songs that they cover, check out their page at http://web2.uconn.edu/rockers/oyrsongs.html. I thoroughly enjoyed myself despite the fact that there were not chairs anywhere around. I would recommend seeing them to anyone who might be in the area when they play, although it only lasted for an hour. I believe they also do private events, but not often. Most importantly, they were performing as a fundraiser for the Covenant Soup Kitchen which is always in need of money. It's for a good cause, please stop by next year and leave a donation.
