Homecoming show announcement!

Finally! After months of anticipation, UCAB has booked a Homecoming show! We over here in UCAB HQ are ecstatic. On October 25th, Lake Matoaka Amphitheater will host not one, but two great bands!

Rogue Wave, the headliners, are an awesome live act and a great pop band. Gorgeous harmonies meet soulful vocals meet laid-back grooves -- this is exciting stuff. They've toured recently with The Decemberists, Jack Johnson, Death Cab for Cutie, and Guster, among many others. Rogue Wave songs have recently been featured in Scrubs, the O.C., Heroes, and the Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack. Check them out, you'll love them!

Equally exciting are The Tings Tings, our opening act. "Shut up and let me go" has been getting a ton of radio play and just won "Best UK Video" at the MTV Video Music Awards. Their debut album "We Started Nothing" was #1 on the UK charts this past summer, as was their other awesome single "Great DJ". The Ting Tings have exploded over in Europe and are on the cusp of doing so in America; we're unbelievably lucky to have them.

Two outstanding up-and-coming bands FREE with a William and Mary student ID. Homecoming in Williamsburg: what an incredible tradition!
