Our Editor in Chief went to kindergarten with the guy on the bottom middle. Please note the resemblance to Richard Parker, Over The
Edge’s ombudstiger, (they use the same stylist). Those who attended this years Backyard Barbeque will recognise these memorable

artists.

their new album debuting soon.
The crowd went wild over the polit-
ical messages the band communi-
cated.

Bombs Over Providence were the
next to perform. “Bombs Over
Providence is my favourite band,”
gushed Roberta Ayers, a second
year student, “Most people are
here to see SUM 41, but not me.”
Bombs Over Providence brought
some dark pop to the stage, as
they describe themselves and
their sound as being “both aggres-
sive and melodic; both angry and
catchy.”

Finally, about two hours after the
concert began, SUM 41 came to
the stage. Unlike the previous

three bands, SUM 41 has many
songs on the hit charts that the
students at UNBC were familiar
with. The audience sung along
with hits such as “In too Deep.” It
was a wonderful end to. an excel-
lent concert.

People went home feeling that the
event was definitely worth the cost
of the ticket and the time spent by
the NUGSS Board of Directors. “I
would definitely go again,’ stated
Eric McCrea, “Il had such a good
time. The concert was awesome.”
Overall, the event “went off without
a hitch” according to Jeremy

‘ Belyea, the President of NUGSS.

“We're having fun” stated

Darryl Whitman, NUGSS
Communications Officer,
‘[the event] has an eerie
smoothness to it all.”
