Since
the group's inception in 1993, the Boston College Acoustics have
performed their way into the hearts of many a listener with their
uplifting, humorous, and theatrical brand of a cappella. The co-ed
group has been blessed by the contributions of more than 60 members...a
number which continues to grow each semester. They are bound by
a dedication to share a part of their lives through a musical
experience that both the members and their fans will tell you
is one of a kind.
The
"stix" pride themselves on the diversity of their repertoire.
Wailing away on 70s rock, 80s pop, and 90s miscellany, the group
has arranged the works of Reel Big Fish, Lauryn Hill, Madonna,
U2, and Janis Joplin, among others. The Acoustics have released
a total of five albums. The most recent one, titled "Vintage Denim ", was released in the Spring of 2003. The stix
are currently recording for the next album "Fake Instruments" to debut in the summer
of 2005.
Outside
the studio, the Acoustics have made appearances at a variety of
venues across the country. Their resume includes gigs at the National
Cathedral, Miami, benefit concerts in San Diego and throughout the east coast, televised broadcasts on CBS and NBC, the set of Jeopardy!... just to name a few. In addition to appearing on BOCA, they have also sung the National Anthem for
the Utah Jazz, the Boston Red Sox (opening day), and the
Boston College basketball program.
On
campus, the Acoustics continue to croon at many venues, including
numerous benefits and charity concerts. Starting from their legendary
performances in "Cafe Starbucks", the upstarts have
confronted controversial themes such as infectious Disney medleys,
game show violence, alien abduction, talk show trash, yellow journalism,
underwear parties, and PBS telethons.
While
thanking their fans, the Acoustics would also like
to encourage them to "fire it up!" at all times
