The Blue Note and Mojo’s, the most well-known concert venues in Columbia, are always filling their calendars with well-known and well-respected bands. The month of November is especially filled with quality line-ups. This playlist will give you a brief lesson on the top bands to look out for in CoMo this month.

**All Time Low — “I Feel Like Dancin’”** — This pop-punk foursome has covered the walls of “rebellious” teen girls for years, and with its newest album, _Dirty Work_, having dropped recently, this show is sure to have quite a large attendance. This song definitely sums up the album. All Time Low is the master of fun dance music with an edge that tends to appeal to teenage girls, with a few gems that appeal to the masses. If anything, this show will be a good time and a great escape on a weeknight.

**The Dirty Heads — “Lay Me Down”** — The slightly beachy feel of The Dirty Heads makes for a laid-back and chill soundtrack to life. Tropical beats, spoken lyrics and soft melodies can relax a study environment and still be upbeat enough to play at a party. The Dirty Heads are good at what they do, and what they do is very versatile, light-hearted music.

**Wallpaper. — “#STUPiDFACEDD”** — Wallpaper. is a very strange musician. From his attire and his attitude to the witty lyrics and seriously good beats, he’s definitely a good show. “#STUPiDFACEDD” is the ultimate party anthem for any college kid, and the ultimate parody for those who stay in at night and laugh at the embarrassing stories shared by those who do party. Either way, this song is catchy and is a good representation of Wallpaper.’s approach to music.

**Somebody Still Loves you Boris Yeltsin — “Yellow Missing Signs”** — “Yellow Missing Signs” is a song that tells the story of three missing women in our own state of Missouri. The light-headed beat takes away from the generally creepy lyrics of the song, leaving it a fun tune to sing along to while walking to class or taking a road trip. SSLYBY is great at capturing serious undertones in fun indie-pop songs.

**Walk the Moon — “Stone Cold Fox”** — Dramatic violins open this song, but are soon followed by steady drums and a forceful yet easy vocalist. The mix of pure musical talent and upbeat easy-listening themes keeps Walk the Moon interesting. Even just singing about an attractive woman, the music feels like it means something because of the beautiful arrangement and attention to detail.

There is a plethora of talented musicians coming within a very short distance to campus for relatively cheap. Music lovers should rejoice at the broad spectrum of artists readily available to enjoy, and skeptics should give live music of any genre a try. The variety in Columbia almost guarantees success somewhere.
