Diverse sounds coming together

Three SDSU students join together to form a fairly new band known simply as Rev. Carl Deardoff, a senior broadcast journalism major, leads this Christian rock band, playing guitar and providing vocals.
"This area has a large Christian population; you can really feel that presence. We would like to give them a band that they can get behind if they don't want to play country or any other form of rock," says Deardoff.
The other two members include Brady Bothwell, a senior accounting major (drums), and Bryan Bader, a senior nursing major (bass).
Carly Zebell, University Program Council's concert coordinator, tried to bring in a variety of bands.
"Welcome to the Cinema I've heard around before. Rev was recommended through a friend. Sinner's Swing and Alex & the Moonshiners came to me, and Lunar Funk Theory was recommended by my mom. I wanted to bring bands with different sounds," she says.
Although Rubber Gloves and Dopplegarten had planned on playing, the drummer from Rubber Gloves broke his foot, making him unable to play.
Similarly, Zebell said, "Dopplegarten booked another show on the same Friday due to a misunderstanding."
The audience will once again be choosing who wins. There will be a vote during or towards the end of the last performance when students will be allowed to pick which band they want to win. SDSU students with an ID get in for free; others attending only have to pay $2 to see these bands.
The bands will begin at 7 p.m. on Nov. 21 in the Volstorff Ballroom.
