Baba Chaka, made up entirely of Camosun College students, will be performing at Bandemonium on November 18 (photo provided).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cIt\u2019s basically alternative rock,\u201d says Kieferle. \u201cBut that\u2019s kind of a really broad term. We have one group who\u2019s describing themselves as \u2018blues grunge.\u2019 We have another one that\u2019s kind of psychedelic dream pop. We have one that\u2019s really traditional alt rock and another that\u2019s kind of a jazz infusion.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kieferle says Bandemonium is \u201cdefinitely for the younger crowd,\u201d with college-aged students being the intended audience. The event is taking place at the Victoria Conservatory of Music (VCM), where Camosun\u2019s music programs are held, but the connection doesn\u2019t end there.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne band, Baba Chaka, is entirely Camosun students,\u201d says Kieferle. \u201cSo, they\u2019ve all met through the post-secondary Music Performance certificate and diploma.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are also 11 current Camosun students and two more alumnus on the production side of the event. The tickets are $22.61 after fees, but Kieferle says that anyone under 19 can get tickets for just under $16, provided they buy the ticket in person from the box office at VCM and show photo ID.<\/p>\n
Kieferle is planning on more live music events in the spring and next fall, possibly at different venues, and is interested in getting Camosun-related music groups to play at them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cSo if there\u2019s any Camosun bands currently established who want to reach out to me and put their names on for the possibility of performing in front of a live audience and getting an EPK [electronic press kit] out of it, I would love to hear from them,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd I\u2019m really hoping to keep this a regular thing, specifically for students and newly established bands.\u201d (Kieferle can be reached via @sophiequinox on Instagram or found on Facebook as Sophie Sommer, as a member of the Victoria Musicians group.)<\/p>\n
Kieferle wants people to support the event so she can continue to have it in the future.<\/p>\n
