AURAL WES is back in action after a long, slow summer, and we’re ready to start posting about bands other than boy crisis and bear hands.

– the fall calendar is starting to fill up, with bands like au, double dragons, and the mathematicians slated to come to campus in october and november.

– we’re getting gossipy this year, because we want to be more popular.

– we’re looking (always) for new writers and contributors. if you’re interested, shoot us an email at auralwes [at] gmail.

– if you’re organizing an on-campus show, house party, festival, or jam sesh, let us know. if you want to start a band and need a drummer, or if you just recorded an EP on garage band (use your better judgement on this one), or if you run a charmingly obscure tape label out of your backpack, you can let us know about those things, too, and we’ll do our best to cover them.
