The second most popular Columbia band to graduate between 2006 and 2010, The Kitchen Cabinet, has made a music video.

The video was based on the excellent “Take-Away Concerts” from Blogotheque, each worth […]

Jon Edelman reports from GS Class Day this morning. In true GS style, guests were greeted by Howard Fishman and the Biting Fish Brass Band, who marched the graduates in to “Down By the Riverside,” rather than your typical 10-minute rendition of “Pomp and Circumstance.” The ceremony continued with a rendition of the national anthem […]
