Approximately 100 Boston University students did what the flyers told them to do Sunday evening and took off their headphones to listen to live music during WTBU Day at BU Central.

The show, organized by WTBU staff Ryan Harbin and John Cofer, featured several bands, including Saturday Looks Good To Me, Japanther and Badman.

The musical taste presented by the WTBU staff Sunday was well-received by the audience. Badman, the first of the bands to perform, consisted of two guitarists and a drummer who offered their rock and roll to an eager, if not timid, audience.

Recently elected WTBU official Raphael Arar said he was impressed with the band’s sound.

“I heard them coming down the hall,” the School of Management freshman said. “They sounded really full. I was surprised there were only three members.”

University Professors’ Program freshman Katie Gillett’s only criticism of Badman was fashion critique.

“I think he should be wearing suspenders,” she said of lead singer Andrew States. “That would make it better.”

If there were pent up dance moves during Badman’s performance, however, Japanther set them free. The mood continued throughout the short set, and no one seemed to mind when the third crowd-surfer upset a ceiling tile.

“It’s like they compressed all the energy of a full-length show into 10 minutes,” CAS senior Joshua Boren said.

As part of their “energy,” Japanther included a brief lecture on environmental irresponsibility that preceded a song called “Save the Whales.”

After a sweaty time was had by all, the crowd mellowed to make way for Saturday Sounds Good To Me, who started their set with a request for respect and silence.

“We’re going to tell you guys how we feel,” front man Fred Thomas said before breaking into an electronically distorted chant, followed by lyrics about “drawing daydreams.”

With an air of nonchalance, the band continued to drop tambourines, start songs over when they felt like it and ask questions of the audience.
