Who had fun at the last Downbeat?! Shout out to Tom Freund and Adam Topol for comin' through. (www.myspace.com/tomfreund) And a special shout out to the SaMoHi dancers for jumping up and doing a last minute dance to Tom's song, "Collapsible Plans"! That's what Downbeat is all about!

This TUESDAY NIGHT marks the last Downbeat of the year! And we're inviting all ALUMNI to come back and perform. I'm dying to hear what you've been up to since leaving the program!
If you're a Downbeat alum and you're interested in performing, please let me know.

Also Performing will be Special Guest: HERO CYCLE

Hero Cycle was formed in August of 2008 by five local music students with a wide variety of interests and backgrounds. Featuring heavily rhythmic guitar and bass lines accompanied by classical and bluegrass fiddle, the group provides a refreshing retort to the modern music scene. Hero Cycle draws influence from hip hop and latin sources, utilizing the musics of inner city Los Angeles to divine a rap rock sound that grooves and flows. Since their creation, they have made waves on a local level, winning a Fourth Street Recording scholarship and performing in a plethra of clubs across the city.

And, of course, all of our regulars better be there! So...

SPREAD THE WORD!
Bring your words, your music,
your lyrics, or just yourself to...
