If you don’t already know Nebula from its performances at the Battle of the Bands or Dance Marathon, now’s a good time to get acquainted. The band will play alongside headliner AyOH and Shiloh on April at Indie-pendence, a concert celebrating Israel Independence Day. Nebula is made up of Weinberg senior Evan Bakker, McCormick sophomore Jake Besen and Weinberg and Bienen junior Stuart Babcock. The threesome met at the Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia house, where they currently hold rehearsals. In fact, it was in the base- ment that lead singer Bakker and drummer Besen first decided to form a band. Its conception was casual. “Initially, it was just Jake and I jamming every Friday after class. It wasn’t anything necessar- ily serious, but we came up with a lot of songs right away, so we wanted to pursue a full band, which was when Stuart came on as bass player,” Bakker said. Since the band’s creation in October , its style has developed quite a bit; however, the name “Nebula” embodies the group’s musical roots. “We were originally a space-rock thing, so we picked something that reflected that,” Babcock said. Their first single, “We Are Not Complete,” released on SoundCloud two months ago, also reveals elements of the genre. The bandmates describe their style as “pop-oriented” with “lingering elements of angst.” Although Bakker, Besen and Babcock are devoted to developing their band’s sound, they each have diverse musical backgrounds. Babcock and Bakker had both been classically trained before they experimented with rock bands, and all three members had previously performed with bands in high school. Besen, who is a big fan of punk groups Blink- and Green Day, played local gigs throughout high school with his band. Nebula is a young band, and its recent success may be attributed to the members’ familiarity with musical performance, but Besen and Babcock also credit their accom- plishments to their lead singer’s ability to churn out tuneful melodies. “Personally, I think that Evan writes choruses that are catchy as f---,” Besen said. “They just linger in people’s heads.” Bakker prioritizes good songwriting as an essential part of the band’s growth. He said he believes that ultimately, what the audience wants is good lyrics. “Some musicians value technical skills, and I will never consider myself the greatest guitarist. But I made a very conscious decision when I was very young to commit myself to become the best songwriter I can be,” he said. “They don’t care if you can solo faster than someone else, or even if you can sing higher.” It’s easy to find yourself singing along to “We Are Not Complete.” The lyrics of the song reflect humans’ inability to reach a sense of fulfillment through one thing, especially in the clutter of today’s society. Most of the band’s songs are written by Bakker, who is a philosophy major. The content of their songs range from the struggle of transitioning to the real world, past relationships and more superficial topics, such as parties. “There is not a central theme to our songs at all,” Bakker said. “We sing about serious things and everyday things.” Nebula will open for Indie-pendence on April . The band said it’s excited to play in a Hard Rock Cafe-style space like Live and to perform alongside established bands that have gained a presence in the Chicago area. They also view the concert as a kick-starter for a chain of gigs planned for the quarter. “Ever since Dance Marathon, it’s been a cascade effect,” Bakker said. “We plan on playing at a lot of philanthropy events that people do in the spring.” This spring, Nebula is also set to compete at Dillo Day Battle of the Bands. Despite each member’s previous experiences with performance, Dance Marathon had been the biggest audi- ence they had performed for, and Dillo Day would provide an even larger venue. “Dillo Day is a dream for all of us,” Babcock said. “I think we’re all nervous about that already. That is the big event on the horizon.” However, with at least five shows planned for the quarter, the band is preparing for each performance as it comes. “Dillo Day is on all of our minds, but we would definitely put equal energy into all of the shows we will have,” Bakker said. In the near future, the band has plans to publicize its brand. Nebula’s catchy melo- dies have caught the attention of many in the NU community, and in the spring its members anticipate gaining a larger fanbase through their shows. “We are excited to play at shows beyond Dance Marathon,” Bakker said. “We are also looking into recording a few songs beyond our single right now.” [email protected] @jamesbien THE CURRENT INSIDE: Odds & Ends 2 | Columns 3 | Reviews 4 To Indie-pendence, Dillo Day, innity and beyond ARE OUT TONIGHT Source: Javier Lom Source: Javier Lom Hillary Back/The Daily Northwestern BY JAMES BIEN

Transcript of The Current - April 11, 2013
If you don’t already know Nebula from its performances at the Battle of the Bands or Dance Marathon, now’s a good time to
get acquainted. The band will play alongside headliner AyOH and Shiloh on April !" at Indie-pendence, a concert celebrating Israel Independence Day.
Nebula is made up of Weinberg senior Evan Bakker, McCormick sophomore Jake Besen and Weinberg and Bienen junior Stuart Babcock. The threesome met at the Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia house, where they currently hold rehearsals. In fact, it was in the base-ment that lead singer Bakker and drummer Besen first decided to form a band. Its conception was casual.
“Initially, it was just Jake and I jamming every Friday after class. It wasn’t anything necessar-ily serious, but we came up with a lot of songs right away, so we wanted to pursue a full band, which was when Stuart came on as bass player,” Bakker said.
Since the band’s creation in October #$!#, its style has developed quite a bit; however, the name “Nebula” embodies the group’s musical roots.
“We were originally a space-rock thing, so we picked something that reflected that,” Babcock said.
Their first single, “We Are Not Complete,” released on SoundCloud two months ago, also reveals elements of the genre. The bandmates describe their style as “pop-oriented” with “lingering elements of angst.”
Although Bakker, Besen and Babcock are devoted to developing their band’s sound, they each have diverse musical backgrounds. Babcock and Bakker had both been classically trained before they experimented with rock bands, and all three members had previously performed with bands in high school. Besen, who is a big fan of punk groups Blink-!%# and Green Day, played local gigs throughout high school with his band.
Nebula is a young band, and its recent success may be attributed to the members’ familiarity with musical performance, but Besen and Babcock also credit their accom-plishments to their lead singer’s ability to churn out tuneful melodies.
“Personally, I think that Evan writes choruses that are catchy as f---,” Besen said. “They just linger in people’s heads.”
Bakker prioritizes good songwriting as an essential part of the band’s growth. He said he believes that ultimately, what the audience wants is good lyrics.
“Some musicians value technical skills, and I will never consider myself the
greatest guitarist. But I made a very conscious decision when I was very young to commit myself to become the best songwriter I can be,” he said. “They don’t care if you can solo faster than someone else, or even if you can sing higher.”
It’s easy to find yourself singing along to “We Are Not Complete.” The lyrics of the song reflect humans’ inability to reach a sense of fulfillment through one thing, especially in the clutter of today’s society. Most of the band’s songs are written by Bakker, who is a philosophy
major. The content of their songs range from the struggle of transitioning to the real world, past relationships and more superficial topics, such as parties.
“There is not a central theme to our songs at all,” Bakker said. “We sing about serious things and everyday things.”
Nebula will open for Indie-pendence on April !". The band said it’s excited to play in a Hard Rock Cafe-style space like #& Live and to perform alongside established bands that have gained a presence in the Chicago area. They also view the concert as a kick-starter for a chain of gigs planned for the quarter.
“Ever since Dance Marathon, it’s been a cascade effect,” Bakker said. “We plan on playing at a lot of philanthropy events that people do in the spring.”
This spring, Nebula is also set to compete at Dillo Day Battle of the Bands. Despite each member’s previous experiences with performance, Dance Marathon had been the biggest audi-ence they had performed for, and Dillo Day would provide an even larger venue.

BY JAMES BIEN
Since its arrival in Chicago in December, Tony Award-winning musical “! e Book of Mormon” has garnered
feedback from enamored theater lov-ers and appalled conservatives alike. ! e show, written by the creators of “South Park,” tells the story of a pair of amateur Mormon missionaries, Elder Cunningham (Ben Platt) and Elder Price (Nic Rouleau), who are sent on a two-year mission to convert a diseased and impoverished Ugan-dan village to the Book of Mormon. On their way, they get into hilari-ously inappropriate situations that ultimately teach them about friend-ship and acceptance. ! e Current talked with the show’s stars to discuss “South Park,” Disney World and the power of Mormonism.
THE CURRENT: What did you know about Mormonism before you were cast, and how has being in the show impacted that knowledge?
BEN PLATT: I grew up really close to a really beautiful Mormon church. But that was all I knew about it, that they had a big beautiful church. I didn’t really know anyone that was Mormon. ! e " rst time I learned about Mor-monism was in the “South Park” epi-sode about Mormons. I knew they’re the guys who ring doorbells, the very basic.
NIC ROULEAU: I did grow up down the street from a big Mormon church. And the show I did before Mormon was “Legally Blonde,” and the girl I played opposite was a prac-ticing full-time Mormon. She actually
read me passages from the Book of Mormon on the way to my auditions for the show — maybe trying to save me, I’m not sure. Obviously, my knowl-edge has grown since starting the show, especially about the missions and what the missionaries have to do when they go abroad.
THE CURRENT: Some people have been o# ended by “! e Book of Mormon.” Where do you see the line between comedy and insult?
BP:All of the fun they poke at Mormons comes from a narrative place and a character place. I " nd things o# en-sive when the jokes are for the sake of the jokes. It’s all from a place of just want-ing to make a funny narrative and charac-ters that you can get on board with … At the end of the day they’re portrayed as really nice, good-hearted guys.
NR: ! ey didn’t set out writing the show to be like “we want to make fun of Mormonism.” ! e thing about Matt and Trey is they’re equal-opportunity o# enders. Everybody is fair game. And you see that in the show. We don’t just make fun of Mormons. I don’t think we actually ever do make fun of Mormons.
THE CURRENT: If you guys were actually Mormon missionaries, where would you want to go for your two years?
BP: Italy.NR:Actually, a lot like (Elder) Kevin
Price, I really wouldn’t mind going to Orlando. I’m not really acting when I sing about how much I love Orlando on stage because I really do like Orlando. It’s wonderful.
THE CURRENT: Nic, is it di$ cult to play Kevin Price? He’s kind of self-obsessed.
NR: Act one Kevin Price is very dif-ferent from me. He’s very con-
" dent, very sure of himself and kind of a dick. ! e
challenge of Elder Price is being con" dent but still being relatable, likable to the audi-ence. Because I think he can easily turn into the douchebag
that no one really roots for, and you still
need to root for him even in the moments when he’s
being mean to Elder Cunningham. It’s a really " ne balance.
THE CURRENT: Ben, both in this show and in “Pitch Perfect,” you play an awkward, socially outcast guy. What do you draw on for that?
BP: A lot of people ask if I’m really a nerd, especially since these two roles have come consecutively. To be honest, I don’t think I’m really that much like him. I’m nerdy about certain things, like musical theater. And I’m really unathletic. I focus on the aspect of how much he wants
to be accepted by everyone. Everyone can relate to just wanting to " t in and have friends and be accepted. So I started from there.
THE CURRENT: What advice do you have for Northwestern’s aspiring actors?
BP:I attribute the fact that I am able to do this show to the fact that ever since I was really young I’ve been on stage and performing and never second-guessed that I wanted to do it. ! ere’s such value in never looking back. Just making sure your heart is always set on it. ! at’s the most impor-tant thing.
NR: Be the actor you would want to work with, both on and o# the stage. When you come across some-one like Ben, who’s so easygoing and easy to work with, you just want to hire them again. And directors, and casting directors, and producers, they pay attention to that and notice that. When you get to New York, the plain and simple truth is everybody’s tal-ented, so what sets you apart is how you are as a person.
ONE FOR THE
One of the most beloved
and respected movie critics the
world has seen lost his ! ght against can-
cer " ursday. With his funeral services Tuesday, Roger Ebert’s passing marked the end of an era. " e Cur-rent and Daily sta# ers, along with some Northwestern students, commented on his life and legacy:
“He made arts journalism credible.”
“Thank you for everything, Roger.”
“He will be missed dearly.”
“What you loved, you elevated.”
“Humankind lost some quality sass.”
“Brilliant, vitriolic, inspiring old dude.”
“He was a marvelous critic.”

I have been obsessed with Kevin Bacon ever since I saw “Foot-loose.” Who wouldn’t fall in love with the doe-eyed new kid " ght-ing against the oppressive anti-dance measures of the town’s local preacher? I fell in love all over again with his long hair and goofy personality in “Tremors.” Not to mention the fact that he has one of the most successful marriages in Hollywood, adorable kids and a thriving philanthropy project based on the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
However, Bacon’s return to TV on Fox’s “! e Following” has only given me new-found reason to love him. Bacon plays ex-FBI agent Ryan Hardy, the only man to ever catch malicious serial killer Joe Carroll. When Carroll escapes and the FBI discovers he has a whole cult following of serial killers, Hardy is brought back by the FBI, even though he had a relationship with Carroll’s ex-wife.
Bacon made himself a name in Hollywood by taking roles pri-marily in comedic, lighthearted " lms such as”Footloose,” “Animal House,” “Tremors” and “Diner.” However, over the years he has taken on more serious roles. He played a pedophile on parole in “! e Woodsman” and the lead in HBO’s “Taking Chance,” about a Desert Storm veteran. His role in “! e Following” has allowed him to continue exercising his more serious side.
I enjoy “! e Following.” It’s fast-paced and action-packed. How-ever, the plot twists tend to range from ridiculous to more ridiculous,
and the FBI continues to become more stupid every week. ! at being said, I always enjoy watching Bacon. Hardy is, simply put, a screwed-up character. He feels as though he has a death curse and refuses to let anyone come close to him. As hard as he tries, he can’t escape from his past as Carroll continues to pull him deeper and deeper into his elaborate killing spree. Watching Hardy " ght back and engage in clever banter with Carroll makes for compelling television. It also doesn’t hurt that Bacon has a pretty face.
A few years ago, I was listening to NPR and Bacon came on. ! ey asked him if he liked being famous. While most celebrities would complain about the lack of privacy or bombardment by the paparazzi, he freely admitted he likes being a star. He tried going out in a disguise one day, but he hated waiting in line and people being rude to him. He said he would never give up his fame. I think that’s what I love most about Kevin. He’s just an honest, cool guy.

LAKEN HOWARD
Greetings, Current readers! My name is Laken Howard, and I’ll be your enthusiastic guide through the turbulent waters of online dating in college for the quarter. I’ll do my best to make you laugh and teach you how to avoid awkwardness and heartbreak, to which I am no stranger. Before I dive into a speci! c topic, though, I ! gure I should let you know a little about who I am and why anyone in their right mind thought me enough of an expert dater to give weekly rants on online dating.
First and foremost: I am single. " ough I undoubtedly will happily dis-cuss more relationship-oriented topics in this column, most of my personal dating experience has been very short-term and casual. Speci! cally, I’ve been very into online dating lately and have gone on more than #$ OkCupid dates. Needless to say, one thing I’m passion-ate about is eliminating the stigma attached to online dating while in col-lege. I know plenty of people who’ve had great experiences with Internet dating but may feel embarrassed to outwardly admit they use a dating site. One of my goals this quarter is to lead by example and encourage people to embrace the beauty of online dating and the many bene! ts it holds.
If you’ve seen “He’s Just Not " at Into You,” you’ll understand what I mean when I say I’m de! nitely a Gigi.
She may seem a little crazy, but at the end of the day, she just really wants to ! nd love and has no regrets about what she does to reach that goal. I put myself out there all the time, but I am never discouraged by a failed relationship or bad date. I truly believe with every “heartbreak” I endure — which hap-pens at least twice a month for me — I learn something new. I may embarrass myself on occasion, but I’m too impa-tient to give up.
I’m also really excited to occasion-ally share some of my own dating anec-dotes with you guys. I can honestly say I have had some crazy experiences with dating (%&-year-old law student, anyone?), and I would love to share this ridiculousness with you all so you can laugh with (or at) me. Dating eti-quette is a tricky subject, but I’ve had enough practice recently that I think I’ll be able to share some professional pointers with you in the coming quar-ter so you won’t have as many cringe-worthy moments as I have.
I want this column to be as interac-tive as possible so I know I’m speaking on important dating-related issues and not just lecturing you. I invite you all to send me questions or comments I can address in future columns. Tell me what you want to read about! I wel-come criticism, questions, compli-ments or just greetings to my inbox: lakenhoward%$'(@u.northwestern.edu.
I look forward to being your dating columnist for the lovely spring quar-ter. In the meantime, get out there and ! nd a girl or guy and go on a date! It may be scary at times, but I promise it’s worth it.

I don’t neces-sarily love co) ee. I like too much sugar
in my drinks to actu- ally appreciate the taste, but as a col- lege student, I need co) ee. " at fact, coupled with my boyfriend’s love of a quality brew, means I spend a lot of time in various co) ee shops in the area. I have realized the best co) ee shops aren’t easily discernible. O* entimes, it depends on what you are looking for.
BEST FOR YOUR SWEET TOOTHAlthough lots of co) ee shops have mixed
drink concoctions, Starbucks is still the place to go if you want more sugar than co) ee. Let’s face it, where else can you get a drink like a tall Java Chip Frappuccino with extra whipped cream and chocolate syrup? As far as iced, blended drinks go, Starbucks has the best options. Other co) ee shops’ iced lattes or mochas just can’t compare.
BEST FOR STUDYING" is one easily goes to Kafein. Its long
hours are perfect for late-night studying. " e couches and bookcases also give it more of a lounge atmosphere, making it more comfortable. It’s much better to sit on those couches for hours at a time than on the hard library seats. As an added bonus, they won’t kick you out even if you decide to burrow yourself there for the night, and the old Trivial Pursuit cards provide entertainment during study breaks.
BEST COFFEECo) ee Lab has the best co) ee, hands down, of all the
shops in Evanston. " e cafe proudly brews Intelligentsia co) ee and brings in di) erent sources from all over the world, made from beans grown in Brazil or Nigeria. It also uses real chocolate in mochas and brew co) ee with
the drip method. " e scones and cookies,
brought in from Great Harvest Bread Co., complement the drinks.
BEST OVERALL" e best co) ee shop is Linz and Vail,
which brews Intelligentsia co) ee and serves delicious homemade gelato, made fresh daily. Located on Central Street, it is a little ways o) campus. However,
it’s de! nitely a doable walk, and there is something to be said for not being sur-
rounded by college students. It’s also the best place to be if you are feeling a little hungry; the
shop serves delicious sandwiches, croissants and mu+ ns. I will say I’m a bit sentimental about the shop because I used to walk there with my grandma as a child. Nevertheless, it’s a great little cafe in the heart of Evanston and a wonderful place to grab co) ee away from the buzz of Northwestern.

A CUP FOR
Welcome to " e Current’s newest column, in which we discuss the latest fashion trends in the National Basket-ball Association.
Ever since NBA commissioner David Stern introduced a league-wide dress code for his players, NBA athletes’ fashion has soared to new extremes. (Note that I didn’t say heights.) A* er a couple years of players wearing suits on the sidelines, sports fashion has evolved into hipster glasses without lenses, LeBron James Instagramming his “,leathersweatshorts” and Russell Westbrook dressing like the wallpaper at a pediatrician’s o+ ce.
As fashion in athletics becomes more ridiculous, " e Current will provide the valuable insight you so desperately crave.
For starters, with the NBA playo) s rapidly approaching, and with them news conference fashion choices, let’s stay away from threads for now and start with something simpler — hair.
Athletes generally aren’t noticed for their hair unless they do something truly ridiculous. I’m talking Den-nis Rodman in the mid--$s with his neon-green hair, accented by multiple nose rings. For the most part, those . ashy styles of the -$s have dissipated, with players who are more concerned about their look — and their image — sticking to simple choices, such as buzz cuts.But two NBA players have brought back the . air of the -$s.
Norris Cole of the Miami Heat and Iman Shumpert of the New York Knicks both sport legitimate hi-top fades. When I say hi-top fades, I mean the kind of hi-tops that would make Gerald from “Hey Arnold” blush. Cole has been rocking the style on-and-o) since his college days, while Shumpert seemingly only entered the fold in the past year or so.
" e hi-top fade was a serious hit back in the day. Made famous by the hip-hop community and loyal hi-topper Christopher “Kid” Reid, the haircut spanned music videos from the late /$s to the late -$s. As calendars . ipped toward the millennium, the haircut was replaced with cornrows, buzz cuts and newer looks.
But just as the gods graced us with “Girl Meets World,” the hi-top fade is also slowly re-emerging, thanks in part to players like Cole and Shumpert.
Although those two players get some quality minutes on arguably the two most-followed teams in the NBA, they aren’t exactly major stars. How-ever, their decision to sport a haircut o* en associated with -$s rap or the hip-hop community is actually quite bold in today’s NBA.
It’s no secret that a* er the Pacers-Pistons brawl in Auburn Hills, when players fought fans in the stands, Stern and the NBA tried hard to ! x what they perceived as an image problem. We don’t have to delve into the racial undertones of the NBA, but let’s just say Stern’s decision to have players wearing suits instead of throwback jerseys was just one step to appease the league’s desired viewing audience.
Although Cole and Shumpert aren’t exactly taking a moral stand, their haircuts are attempts at individual-ity in a league o* en nervous about its image. Shumpert has even gained a small following, mostly from New York fans, through his own hip-hop endeavors. " e Knicks’ shooting guard recently created even more waves with his hair for shaving an Adidas logo into it, drawing a ! ne from the NBA.
Cole and Shumpert may not ever be known as men willing to take a stand against “" e Man.” And they shouldn’t. But the two players and their hi-top fades shouldn’t be overlooked (literally or ! guratively) either.
