WestCo Cafe
Poster by Mary Longley
Recollections:
WestCo Cafe has this special reverberatory quality that makes certain kinds of loud live music performed in it have these strange high-pitched noise fragments that sound like little battles occurring right in the little canyon of your ear. Whenever I did loud shows here, lots of people would watch from outside because they didn't like this effect.

Recollections:
Thursday nights in WestCo there were usually lots of party people wandering around, and a bunch of them wandered down into this concert. When they heard the Moody Wallen Band, I think they were scared and confused.

Recollections:
Memorable Middle of the Road lyric:
"We're not here to offend or shock you, we're just here to moderately rock you!"
Memorable Red Sweatpants Blue Sweatpants lyric:
"Oh shit, my elastic's too tight, it chafes on my tummy it doesn't feel right"

Having some noisy, strange bands perform in the Multi-Purpose Room made for an extremely awkward interaction. I remember Elisa from Magik Markers pouring jug wine down the throats of somewhat willing audience members. Also my Sociology professor came!!
Zombie Art Collective, 2004
Zombie Art Collective meetings
Fall 2004
Old Squash Courts
Top Poster by Mattio Montesano
Bottom Poster by Steph Carlisle
Recollections:
The only student group to hold meetings in the old squash courts. I'm not sure how to describe Zombie Art Collective, does someone else want to try?
Steph, founder/Zombie/etc. says:
"The ZOMBIE ART COLLECTIVE is about resurrection.
We’re brewing up a refined mixture of creativity, spontaneity, madness, wild abandon, and injecting it into the COMMUNITY we mistake for Wesleyan.
We are awakening the dead.
We too are ZOMBIES. We are conditioned by our environment, by society and culture and structure.
We are strange in behavior and appearance.
We control nothing at all. Yet, we act.
For most, art is a LUXURY. It is EXCLUSIVE, it is SHELTERED, it is EXPENSIVE and it is THEORETICAL. Here at ZAC, we believe in cheap art & collaborative laughter
We believe that everyone can and should make art, that we can be drenched in it.
1ST MEETING:
WEDNESDAY 10PM
OLD SQUASH COURTS
We’ll talk about projects for this semester: about puppets and happenings and blood and installations and films. "
