The annual spring concert, one of the major annual

events coordinated by the Middlebury College Activities Board

(MCAB), is open to the public.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones,

a punk/ska band from Boston, Mass., has recorded five albums including

its very popular recent release “Let’s Face It.” The

racially-mixed, musically diverse Mighty Mighty Bosstones first

formed in 1985 as merely the Bosstones—the “Mighty Mighty”

appeared several gig fliers later—around a nucleus of friends

with two things in common: roots in the Boston hardcore scene

and an appreciation for a much wider range of music, ska in particular.

Its high-octane live performances have brought the band widespread

popularity.

H2O

is a New York City-based hardcore rock band born out of frontman

Toby Morse’s desire to make a lasting contribution to the genre.

Morse began by enlisting the help of musicians Rusty Pistachio,

Eric Rice and Max Capshaw, and, after their first show in December

1994, toured up and down the East coast leaving an inimitable

trail of influence. Lyrically, the band emphasizes positivity,

loyalty and personal responsibility in such blistering songs as

“Wake Up,” “Everready,” and the title song,

“Thicker Than Water,” of their first full-length effort

now due for release on the Epitaph label.

The Shods is a punk band

from Boston, Mass. A living, breathing embodiment of everything

that many consider great, the band blends straight-out punk, Elvis

Costello-influenced pop, rocker a la Clash, and good ol’ fashioned

bluesy rock and roll for performances that seem to pour—with

every ounce of sweat—excitement and energy into every song. Their

newest release is titled “Bamboozled, Jilted, Hornswaggled

+ Hoodwinked.”
