This audiovisual collection is inspired by the creativity of Bard College's bands and musicians past and present. Do you remember bands like Boba Fett or Big Noise? Maybe Velcro Dildo rings a bell? Or 1973? Did you get the funk out with Saint Booty? Well you've found the right place!
From rock to punk, jazz to metal, folk to funk, and new wave and post-punk to techno, Bard's diverse extracurricular music scene is represented here.
If your band or your favorite Bard band is not featured -- CONTACT US at [email protected] -- let us know! Give us some audio, a description and a visual or two if you have them, and we'll include those bands or musicians.
