If you enjoy live music outdoors and want to get another show in before summer ends, CAB has just the event for you.

Life In Jersey, an alternative rock band from Kansas City, Mont. is taking the ArtStreet Amphitheater stage this weekend. CAB is sponsoring the free concert as part of the first Weekend Scene this semester.

Steven Parker, CAB?s concert and comedy co-chair, said the band was chosen to play at UD because the band?s style appeals to the student body.

?CAB has had alternative rock bands perform on campus in the past and had great success,? Parker said. ?The band plays with great energy and is perfect for students looking to enjoy themselves this Friday night.?

The four-piece band formed in 2005, and since then has toured all around the country and performed with bands such as The Hush Sound, The Used, The Plain White T?s, Anberlin, and Story of the Year.

The buzz surrounding Life In Jersey has been growing ever since. Recently the band competed against five others in a contest held by Kansas City radio station 96.5 The Buzz to share a stage with The Used and Shiny Toy Guns at the station?s annual Buzz Beach Ball, according to www.bostoneventworks.com. The winner was chosen by listener votes and Life In Jersey won by 18,000. The site also lists Life In Jersey as one of 20 finalists out of 2,000 bands in Fuse TV?s ?getmeloaded? contest.

?CAB attended NACA (National Association of Campus Activities) in February of 2008 and met with several agents representing a very diverse group of bands,? Parker said. ?Life In Jersey was recommended to us by many of the agents as a band that would appeal to our college campus.?

The band, made up of Beau Gabriel on drums, Carson E. Land on guitar and vocals, David Willey on bass, and Chris Mullins on guitar, released their debut five-song EP ?Skeletons? in May 2007, and according to www.bostoneventworks.com, have sold 1,500 copies without distribution. They are releasing a full-length album in spring 2009.

?They work harder than 95 percent of bands out there and it shows in their studio work and their live show,? producer/engineer J. Hall said on the band?s MySpace page. ?Between Carson?s poetic, yet aggressive vocals, countering guitar work, meticulous bass lines, and crushing drum beats, you?ll soon find yourself enveloped into something you haven?t quite heard before. A breath of fresh air amongst the stale gloom of the current rock ?n? roll scene.?
