...unknowns, lead singer and guitarist Butch Walker, bassist Jayce Fincher, and drummer Slug, strolled on stage with their leather jackets and tight black pants to be met by the blank stares of the many attending that had never heard of Marvelous3. Nonetheless, they opened with a blast of pop energy with "You're So Yesterday." A few fans immediately bounced to the rollicking sound and cheery vocals, but most were skeptical at best. But this skepticism soon faded away, as the crowd became mesmerized and invigorated by Marvelous3's crazy stage antics and contagious energy...
Although drummer Slug flooded the club with adrenaline-filled beats and Fincher's bass remained integral to every song throughout the set, their role was minimal compared to the unavoidable, enthralling and unique stage personality of Walker. At first, Walker just appears to be a very strange and eccentric rock star, but it soon becomes apparent that his twisted, emotional facial expressions are part of his wonderfully energetic stage performance. The crowd went quiet when he started whimpering a sad story about walking in on his mother with a gun in his hand. He then hilariously broke the silence with...
With the infectious pop of "Every Monday," the crowd was bumping and jumping into one another, as sweat-drenched Walker, Fincher and Slug continued to thrash and prance around the stage.

The album has a surprisingly crisp sound, despite the apparent dichotomy between the band's power instrumentals and unabashedly poppy lyrics and up-beat vocals. For three guys with names like Butch and Slug who try very hard to look dark and disturbed, their music is often as light as a puffy cumulous cloud. The rhymes are often forced, thin and cheesy, but that does not prevent the vocals from bouncing along euphoniously. The album is catchy, interesting, and original, although far from revolutionary...
Campus Politics* U.C. candidates slug it out in two poorly attended debates. Is it apathy or does the campus know too much already? Number 28 * Harvard's ranking in magazine's list of best colleges for black students. Would we be as happy with 28 in U.S. News? Harvard Investments * HMC recoups most of $1.5 billion in summertime losses. Pheeww! That was a close one! Mass. Army-Navy Store * Closing sale means cheap winter boots. Plus, maybe the Pit children will migrate elsewhere to buy their clothes. Work * In the week before break, papers mount up, leaving little time...
