THE BATTALION
Fan Favorites
Performance cements Blue October’s B-CSfan base
By Justin Garrett
The Battalion
Bryan-College Station music
fans got there money’s worth
Wednesday night when Blue Octo
ber performed its newest material
after an eclectic outing by Pavlov’s
Dogs.
The night began with a perfor
mance by the San Marcos-based
band Pavlov’s Dogs. The music is
primarily rock, but hints of jazz, ska
and country permeate each track.
Branching out from more common
configurations, the band members
utilize a keyboard synthesizer and a
horn .which they swap in and out on
different tracks.
The synthesizer adds a sym
phonic depth and an aura of mys
tique to the music while the horn
adds a brassy punch to some of the
more upbeat, jazzy tunes. Overall,
they put on a good show. Although
they lack an exciting stage presence,
they made up for it with creativity.
When Pavlov’s Dogs left the
stage, a new group appeared from
the darkness. As they stepped for
ward, their faithful followers rushed
to the stage like children greeting a
father who has just returned from
war. With a strum of the guitar and
a gentle whine from a violin, all
knew it to be none other than Blue
October.
College Station has become one
of its regular stops over the past year
due to the city's accepting attitude.
“Out of all the places we've
played, this is the place that’s treat
ed us the best. It’s one of the few
places where we get regular air
play,” said lead guitar player Brant
Coulter.
This was Blue October’s first
performance in more than a week.
After regaining their tightness and
the feel of performing they went on
to show their appreciation through
an explosive and heartfelt musical
display.
The climax of the per
formance was reached
when Blue October lead
singer Justin Furstenfeld
and violinist Ryan Dela-
housaye each performed a solo.
When the band departed from the
stage and Delahousaye remained
with with his electric-blue violin,
one could teel the anticipation
charging through the room. As the
first note slid from the strings, the
crowd went ecstatic. In that state,
the crowd remained until the bow
was taken from the strings, signal
ing the end to a rare and passionate
performance.
On the other hand, Furstenfeld’s
vocal solo, though equally power
ful, took a more somber note. Aside
from a sporadic outcry from a
drunken, momentarily infatuated
groupie, the crowd remained silent
and gave only visual accompani
ment by holding cigarette lighters
overhead. Furstenfeld received
roaring approval from the audience
upon the solo’s completion.
"We always try to make it so
powerful that the audience gets in
volved. A lot ot times you see peo
ple out in the audience who are cry-

Other fans pressed themselves

Different people are touched in
different ways. For the remainder of
the show, the majority of the audi-
companiment. This came as a sur
prise to the band which, having re
cently released its first major album,
did not expect such recognition.
“1 never knew so many people
knew about us." said bassist Matt
Noveskey. "The last time we played
in Bryan, there were like sixorsev-
en people there.”
Demonstrating the momentum
of its popularity. Blue Octoberre
cently toured with a few of the in
dustry s biggest names in sever:,
major cities, including Boston
Philadelphia, New Jersey

“We’ve been touring off and®

said. "It was cool, but I don't know
