On Friday, April 18, 2008, two bands, New York’s Jupiter One and England natives People In Planes, will be performing in the Encore at 8:00 p.m.
“These are two very up-and-coming bands whose styles are pretty much opposite of each other,” said event organizer Jessica McKenna.
Jupiter One has been compared to such bands as the Talking Heads and the Cars, portraying a new wave and alternative style.
People in Planes has an alternative rock sound comparable to Keene. Their song, Instantly Gratified, was featured on the “John Tucker Must Die" soundtrack.
The April 18 performance marks a stop on the band’s Gordon’s First Kiss Tour that will take them to several locations throughout the U.S.
The sound of both bands is different from many concerts at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
“The sound is really fresh,” said McKenna. “On this campus, we are often stuck with blue grass or jam bands. These bands will be a sigh of relief.”
Admission to the concert is free with a student ID and $4.00 without. For more information on Jupiter One or People in Planes, you can visit their Web sites at http://www.myspace.com/jupiterone and http://www.peopleinplanes.com.
