Voodoo Pharmacology Coffeehouse 11/2
Wednesday, November 1st, 2017 by WLOY Staff
Voodoo Pharmacology will be performing at our Coffeehouse this Thursday from 8-10pm! As the weather gets colder, the tunes just keep on getting cooler. Stop on by and sip a coffee from Starbucks, while you listen to a free performance from this amazing band. Their music gives off a combination of rock, psychedelic, and americana creating this completely unique sound. They have a lot to say, and don’t hold back from some atypical subject matter, but their theatrical live performance will blow you away. They performed at Artscape and were able to enrapture the audience there, so there is no doubt they’ll move you too! Come by this Thursday from 8-10pm to see what the hype surrounding Voodoo Pharmacology is all about!

Rocky Horror Picture Show On The Quad! 10/26 8pm
Wednesday, October 25th, 2017 by WLOY Staff
WLOY will be presenting Rocky Horror Picture Show once again! Come to the Quad (or McGuire Hall if the weather is bad) and be transported into this strange, but energizing movie. The movie is so crazy that imdb.com could not provide more of an summary than “a couple has a breakdown in an isolated area.” And if you ever been alone with someone for an extended amount of time, you know exactly how wild things can get. The production is meant to be a satire on both science fiction and horror movies, which yields an unexplainable combination as gender play and madness take their toll. There are no words that can do this production justice and for that reason I suggest you come check it out for yourself. We’ll be giving the event the WLOY touch and be offering giveaways to the best costumes! So stop by the Quad on Thursday from 8-10pm. If you know the movie, or want to pretend you did all along, feel free to come in costume and act along, or read up on the audience responses. Participation is highly encouraged!
