With the infamous Club Downunder being torn down soon as construction of the new student union begins, it’s a good idea to celebrate one last event going on before the building gets torn down. Club Downunder hosts a variety of events ranging from concerts to comedians to fun, themed events during the day. Here are some notable events going on in the music scene that you don’t wanna miss!
Larkin Poe, April 8
Comprised of a sister duo, these ladies are actually descendants of Edgar Allen Poe himself! Their music is a mix of a few styles and can be described as roots rock n’ roll with some southern influence. They are described as gritty and soulful, hailing from Nashville, TN.

Listen to their song “Preachin’ Blues” here.
Curtis Harding, April 9
Yes, some more soul! Known as the “soul man” himself, Curtis Harding’s music consists of many genres blended together. His music is a mash of blues, rock, psychedelia and gospel. This will be a good show!

Lapalux, April 22
If you like electronic music and synthesizers, Lapalux is someone you should go see! Similar to artists such as Flying Lotus, his music is experimental and not something you can experience often. Step out of your comfort zone and experience a night of wonky beats!

Chastity Belt, April 23
This indie rock-pop band consists of all women! With three studio albums already out, there is so much to listen to before to get ready for the show. With some humorous songs discussing feminism and gender norms to some more serious tunes, this should be an exhilarating show.
