So, everyone on campus—or at least everyone who works for the Voice—is waiting with bated breath to see whether or not Jack DeGioia will deign to speak at GU Pride’s Coming Out Week forum tomorrow night. The prez addressed the hate crime today in a campus-wide email, saying…well, not much. Aside from declaring that hate crimes and homophobia will not be tolerated (a no-brainer) DeGioia declined to discuss any concrete actions for preventing these incidents in the future or actually changing the campus culture. A couple of Hoyas decided to take matters into their own hands by starting a Facebook group taking Jack to task for his most recent spin-doctored missive. Sure, the group only has two members for now, but you know how fast these things grow.

Fresh off a tour with the Arctic Monkeys, indie darling Voxtrot rocked out at the Black Cat Saturday night, along with the L.A.-based quintet the Little Ones. Even though frontman Ramesh Srivastava was feeling a bit under the weather, Voxtrot still managed to put on a solid show, which opened, appropriately I thought, with “Introduction” from their self-titled LP. They also hit upon the highlights of their EPs, including “Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives,” “Your Biggest Fan” and my personal favorite “The Start of Something.”

I had heard about the Little Ones’ “Uncle Lee’s Rule of Feet,” which dictates that they only play songs that make their feet shuffle, but didn’t fully get what it meant until Saturday night. The Little Ones’ show supported their reputation as an infectious pop band with no shortage of danceable beats or catchy hooks.

Check out photos of both bands below.
