Friday Night: The Hopefuls

Mike Paulus |

Get your butt on campus tonight for a big, big show by The Hopefuls. The Hopefuls' mission statement is succinct: "Fun music for happy times." The group's sunny, feel-good rock can be heard on its full-length debut CD "The Fuses Refuse to Burn," and has been featured on the Fox-TV teen drama "The O.C." and on VH1's "Best Week Ever." Acoustic music from local band, Chester Bay will open the show, which is at Council Fire Room, Davies Center, tonight at 7pm.

Saturday: Sleep Serapis Sleep, Hmong New Year, Recycled Art for Kids, Brighton Beach Memoirs, Tuesdays with Morrie, Lunacy, Normal, Rush River Ramblers.
