THE BLIND SIDE

"The Blind Side" depicts the story of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher's presence in the Touhys' lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle.

Maus Haus w/ AB & The Sea

When: April 20, 2010 @ 7:00 pm

Location: TCS Building/Art Annex (UC Davis)

ASUCD Entertainment Council presents:

Maus Haus w/ AB & The Sea @ the Technocultural Studies (TCS) building on Tuesday, April 20, 2010!

Like any good band making original music, San Francisco's Maus Haus doesn't fit squarely into any particular genre. Their unique blend of 60s psychadelia, analog electronics, boisterous horns, and echoey vocals channels groups like Kraftwerk and Death Cab for Cutie—without really sounding like any one of those bands. Utilizing a clusterfuck of instruments, from Korgs and theremin-emulators to trombones and Omnichords, Maus Haus creates a hypnotizing wave of sound that, when experienced live, permeates every bone in your body.

When friends Koley O'Brien and Joseph Spargur left the frigid plains of Wisconsin for San Francisco, their beach blanket surf rock fantasies must have kicked into high gear. Now as A B & the Sea, the current five-piece is cranking out a fun and carefree indie pop that would make Paul Simon do a double take. With an energetic lo-fi sheen and impossible to resist hooks, their incredibly catchy music is already catching on.
