"They were trying to get more local, up-and-coming acts to the venue, and the timing worked out to be at the same as when we were finishing our album," Aranda said. "So we decided to make it our CD release party."
It doesn't come as a shock to A Cool Stick fans that they are now reaching new levels of fame.
"I'm really not surprised that they're getting bigger now," Whitney Lunt, '10, said. "They have a unique style and sound that I think really has a place right now."
Mallory DiLemmo, '10, has followed the band since they started, attending shows at Loyola and around Baltimore. "They have such an amazing stage presence, and each one of them brings something different to the stage," she said. "John has so much energy, he's constantly jumping around. Luke connects so well with the crowd, everyone feels like they're his best friend, and "Fuzz" is probably one of the most talented people I've ever seen perform. He can do it all!"
Michael Montrose, '10, agrees. "They have such a stage presence and bring their lyrics to life with their passion and interaction with the crowd," he said.
Their connection with the crowd at Rams Head was strong, to say the least. The boys thoroughly enjoyed themselves, evident by their jumping, dancing and even moon-walking around the stage throughout the entire performance. Everyone in the crowd danced and sang along to most of the songs, especially the last song of the set, "All Day Long."
Next up for A Cool Stick is the Recher Theatre in Towson on November 22, and they are working towards more performances outside of Maryland.
"The most important thing about going out of state is a quality product," Hughes said. "Now that our EP is done, we have a great work of music to send to other schools and venues on the East Coast and potentially the rest of the country, and we can start playing as many shows as possible."
In addition the show at Recher Theatre, A Cool Stick looks forward to more performances on campus.
"We love coming back and playing a show on our home turf," Fitch said, "because that's where we formed."
