Bands in Town

Bands in Town Hey all, Okay, so I’m from Evanston, Illinois, which is fairly close to Chicago. I’m used to having access to the city, which means an abundance of eventsâ€"especially art and small band shows. Now, this may sound very hipster cliche, but Ive experienced a withdrawal coming to the universityâ€"but only because I wasn’t looking for art and band shows in the right places. If you are like me and love going to shows on the weekend, magical apps exist to help you find the events that interest you but arent exactly advertised. 1. Bandsintown Bandsintown is a free app that lets you know who’s going to be in your area, and they base their list  off the artists you follow or have  manually searched. The app also helps you find new artists similar to the artists you like. For an addict like me, this means even more band shows! 2. Facebook This probably isn’t news to anyone else, but I’ve recently started using Facebook as a way to find new events like crazy. I basically only  log on to change my profile photo and find new events. Other than using  these two apps in my life, I also check the pole right in front of the Union. Its covered in flyers for upcoming music and events.  Also, if you’re ever in the Art and Design Building, the bulletin boards include  flyers of band and art shows coming up. Indyia Class of 2019 I’m an Art Foundation student in the College of Fine and Applied Arts, and after Art Foundation I plan on majoring in Art Education. With my degree and teaching certificate, I want to teach children how to use their emotions, thoughts, and surroundings to create art.
