Music plays a big part of the atmosphere at Sweet Eugene’s. The stereo speakers sing with blues, jazz and alternative music as the crowd seems lost in their own little worlds. The music is varied in every sense of the word. On any given night, one can hear Nine Inch Nails, the Cranberries, Sting and Beethoven all in the same hour. “A lot of people like the music,” Aaron said. “There’s not a lot of places where you can study and hear alternative music.” Eugene’s showcases musicians every Friday and Saturday night. Blues and jazz are most frequent ly heard, but there’s room for all kinds on Eugene’s tiny stage. Mother’s Monkey is a frequent guest at Eugene’s, playing music that members of the band de scribe as “experimental.” Frank Skowronski, a member of the band, said he likes playing at Eugene’s better than any other place in town. “Some people come in to hear us play, and some just come for Eugene’s but like us so much that they stay longer,” Skowron ski said. “It’s more relaxed and you can | talk and still hear the music.” Eugene’s is the only coffee- house left in town, and it soon expand. The Brown brothers said they I hope to open another Eugenesonj Northgate some time in Febni ary. The new Eugene’s may occu py the space left by the late Con dom Station. “Maybe we could handout! free condoms at the opening’! Matthew joked.

Like Green Day, other bands that have played at Stafford have become popular over the years. Jackopierce, Robert Earl Keen, Tripping Daisy, Fishbone and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones are all bands that have played at Stafford. Although these bands have be come popular, the small, intimate setting sometimes draws them back to Stafford. For example, Robert Earl Keen is coming back to play Feb. 3 and 4. But Bryan-College Station is not exactly a musical mecca, and Todd Traylor, who handles the bookings for Stafford, said it is sometimes dif ficult to get bands to play in old downtown Bryan. “Half the time you call a band or manager, they don’t know where Bryan-College Station is,” he said. But once bands have played at Stafford, Traylor said the intimate atmosphere is enough to bring them back. “A majority of the bands think Stafford is one of the nicest places they’ve played,” he said. “It’s not so big that it’s impersonal.” Aaron Drayer, a junior interna tional studies major, said the atmos phere makes the bands relax more. “The fact that it is small makes the bands more personable,” he said. “They feel like they can talk to the audience and sometimes take requests.” “It’s very intimate,” Nguyen said. “The bands feel like they are part of the crowd.” Traylor said live music perfor mances have become more popular in College Station, but the crowds have become pickier. Traylor said Stafford has loyal crowds who miss the live music scene in their large hometowns but can find it at Stafford. Murray said she appreciates live music wherever she can find it in the area, but Stafford is her favorite place to hear good bands. “The Stafford experience is as close to a real concert as you will find here,” she said. Nguyen said Stafford is known for featuring up-and-coming bands. “A majority of bands we bring are about to break through,” he said. “We’re going to have a great semester.” Duddley's mellow atmosphere attracts varied crowd Continued from page 3 crowd,” Benning said. “Long hair, short hair, retirees, pierced bodies. Just all different kinds of people.” Such variety only adds to interesting and odd conversation at Duddley’s. Favorite discussion top ics range from replacing the pool tables to increas ing graduate student stipends with inflation. “Stipends are a popular one” Benning said. “There’s never a dull moment in conversation. You have to keep up with current events and what’s go ing on at A&M. You have to know what new dean is going in and who’s going out.” Graduate student Quinlan Bandy said she frequents Duddley’s not just because of the mix of personalities and conversation, but also because of the music. “They play more rock and classic rock, not strict ly country,” Bandy said. Visitors often compliment Duddley’s decor, a dark and hazy style reminiscent of a traditional roadside bar. That’s a necessity for Ray Torgerson, an A&M graduate who occasionally visits Duddley’s. “It’s a place where you can lean back, don’t have to worry about the furniture and have a cold beer,” Torgerson said. Most Duddley’s employees are students, and sev eral bartenders have been serving for almost nine years while receiving degrees. Benning is always willing to come to his employ ees’ aid, and he even makes small loans to help with tuition. “Nobody ever has enough money for school,” he joked, “but everybody always has enough for beer.” Northgate Cafe provides center stage for local music Continued from page 3 lunch and talk. But at night the crowd changes to mostly college students who come to listen to bands play. Northgate Cafe has a variety of music performances each week including alterna tive rock, classic rock and blues. Some nights might have one type of band playing upstairs while a different type of music is being played by another band downstairs. Most of these performers are local, such as Ty Sutherland, who has a “jam night” every Thursday. Other bands who regularly play at the cafe are Bobby Hall, Full Circle, Three Wise Men, Soma and The Maps. Chris Ewert, a junior wildlife and fish eries science major, said he frequents the cafe at night because it is not as crowded as many places around College Station. Ewert said he also likes the types of bands that play there. “If you are a person who doesn’t like to listen to country music, Northgate Cafe is the place to go,” Ewert said. Scott MacTavish, a guitar player for the alternative rock band Peeping Tom, occa sionally plays at Northgate Cafe. Mac Tavish said the exposure his band has re ceived from playing at Northgate Cafe has been beneficial. “I think that it’s a really good place for bands to start off playing at because they could get really good exposure there,” Msr Tavish said. Ginny Goodar, a sophomore nutritional science major, said her favorite night togo to the cafe was Wednesday when Sneaky Pete performed. In February, the popular Texas A&M professor who writes and sings parodies of popular songs will return to the cafe to perform. “I love to go see Sneaky Pete because everyone has so much fun and sings along,' Goodart said. Starting today, Aggielife will run a weekend guide every Friday containing local music and entertainment perfor mances.
