Music once again poured forth from Saint
Joseph’s Hall at The College of Saint Rose
on February 6, as three local bands per­formed
for an auditorium of students.
Patenaude, experimented with vocal harmo­ny,
a technique not often attempted by
younger bands. The duo, also the band’s gui­tarists,
adroitly wove their respective
melodies together to create a multilayer
sound. Backing them were sophomores
drummer Mike LaBarge and bassist Damien
Owczarski
The four have composed a song they title
“The Waltz,” a rock song with a waltz beat.
The song never fails to inspire the audience
to dance, another accomplishment for a
fledgling band.
Adding to the band’s distinctive sound
were LaBarge’s unusually long drum solos.
Last to perform was the headliners. A new , A percussion major at the college, he dis-z%

played a familiarity with the set that bespoke
long hours of practice and resulted in a better
quality sound.
Rome, the second band on the bill, played
a very different type of music. The six-member
band rocked the crowd with
fast songs and screaming vocals.
Singer Nick Warhol, the only member
of the band from Saint Rose, dominat­ed
the set with his anger and energy,
engaging the crowd and running
aroimd.
The band also boasts a keyboard
player, Jake Tompkins, who supplied a
beat box beginning for one song.
Joined by guitarists Jef Menig and
Chris Slater, bassist Adam Wiedman,
and drummer Jesse Barr, Rome
worked well together to create a harsh
but creative sound.

ABC is ready to roll out the red carpet and
get the 76th Aimual Academy Awards started.
The Oscars will take place Sunday, February
29, 2004 at the Kodak Theatre in
Hollywood. The presentation is scheduled
to begin at 8 p.m. Eastern time.
The first Academy Awards took place on
May 16, 1929. A banquet was held at the
Rooseveh Hotel in Hollywood. Back then,
there was no suspense. The winners were
notified prior to the banquet. Due to World
War II and increase in attendance, it began
to be impractical to hold banquets. To
accommodate more people, awards were
moved to theaters, where they have since
been held. The sealed-envelope system was
also adopted and remains used. On March
19,1953, the presentation was first televised
on NBC. ABC took over in 1976 and will
continue to do so until their contract runs out
in 2008. In 2001, the Oscars were moved to
the 3,300 seat Kodak Theatre.
The awards ceremony has only been inter­rupted
three times. These interruptions were
for the 1938 floods in California, out of
respect for Dr. Martin Luther King’s funeral
in 1968 and the attempted assassination of
President Ronald Reagan in 1981.
This years nominations were
announced January 27 at the Samuel
Goldwyn Theater. Oscar nominees then
joined at the Beverly Hills Hilton Monday,
February 9 for the 23 annual Nominees
Luncheon. Each year stars have a great time
as they wine and dine, receive a shirt and
take many pictures. Among this years stars
was 13-year-old Keisha Castle-Hughes from
New Zealand, for “Whale Rider.” Keisha is
the youngest-ever Best Actress nominee.
The nominees for Actor In A Leading Role
are: Johnny Depp in Pirates Of The
Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl,
Ben Kingsley in House Of Sand And Fog,
Jude Law in Cold Mountain, Bill Murray in
Lost In Translation and Sean Penn in Mystic
River.
Actor In A Supporting Role: Alec
Baldwin in The Cooler, Benicio Del Toro in
21 Grams, Djimon Hounsou in In America,
I

Directing: City Of God, The Lord Of The
Rings: The Return If The King, Lost In
Translation, Master And Commander: The
Far Side Of The World and Mystic River.
Best Picture: The Lord Of The Rings:
Return Of The Kings, Lost In TranslatioJC
Master And Commander: The Far Side ( 2
The World, Mystic River and Seabiscuit. —
“As for the Oscars themselves I don’t re^|^
watch them because I don’t know many
e movies that have been nominated. A let
of them don’t show in small towns li|JJj^
where I grew up,” said freshman Jessi£l
Phelps. “I like to watch sometimH"
just in the beginning to look attire
dresses, that’s always fun. UsuMIy
I sit through the first half-hour, but
then I just get bored.”
The 76th Annual Academy
Awards will have a five-second
delay for the first time in Academy
Award history. This delay is in
order to censor any unexpected
inappropriate behavior. Some sqr
this is due to the CBS broadcast of
Super Bowl XXVIII that took
place on February 1. •-

Everyone freaked out over the Super Bowl;
