Fraufest marks FHN talent

Published: January 30, 2010

Students rocking. Spotlights shining. Teens dancing and having a good time. All three will take place as nine bands perform in the auditorium on Feb. 4 for the 5th annual Fraufest hosted by German Club.

The tickets are being sold at lunches and at the door for $5. A limited supply of T-shirts will also be sold at the show for $10.

“It’s a way for bands to showcase their talents at school,” German Club sponsor Frau McPartland said. “Being able to see what students and friends can do is cool. It’s also cheap. Three hours of music for five dollars. You can’t find a deal better than that.”

There will be some bands that have played at Fraufest before such as Screaming Glory; however, there will be several new bands such as Kalamiti!, Bridges Burned, and Prestige Worldwide. McPartland will also be performing “The Zoo Song”, an annual tradition.

“This crop of bands are very musically talented,” McPartland said. “It’ll be a great show and everybody better be there.”

Senior Thom Loeffler and his band Fighting For Friday are among the two returning bands from last year’s show.

Loeffler has also recently joined The Perfect Wonderful who will be playing at the show as well.

“[Expect] to hear some awesome stuff,” Loeffler said. “It’s gonna be a good line up with the other bands and awesome music. If your coming, expect to dance.”

Parables of the Fading Eye, one of the new bands performing, will make their debut appearance at Fraufest this year.

However, member Zach Clark has previous experience performing at Fraufest, playing with the band New

Breed in the past.

“It’s a really fun thing to do,” Montgomery said. “It’s a nice, easy way to support local bands and see all the talent at North.”
