This past Thursday, April 8, 2010, Babycakes Cafe was filled to the brim with Vassar students dying to hear some live music.  Courtesy of The Vassar Students Band Union and Democracy Matters, the event proved Babycakes was a new and interesting venue for Vassar bands to play, and Vassar students to spend their Thursday evening.

Vassar senior Zach Huckel-Bauer opened the night, setting the tone and atmosphere while engaging and involving the large crowd.  By the time The Anti-Job, starring Vassar senior Amanda Jones as lead singer and guitarist, with junior Katie Troy on drums, came one, the tables in the front of Babycakes needed to be cleared, and it was obvious that the night was turning out to be quite successful.

Senior Zach Huckel-Bauer started off the night.

Katie Troy, Drummer for the Anti-Job

Amanda Jones, lead singer of The Anti-Job.

Ben Conant, the organizer of The Vassar Student Bands Union is also lead singer of The Facts and Figures, who finished off the evening.  Even at the end the crowd was still pulsing with enthusiasm.  Hopefully this event brought Babycakes enough success to become a weekly endeavor, but certainly it is encouraging to see The Vassar Students Band Union coming up with such a lively and fruitful event so early on in their history as an organization.  Its safe to say there is a lot of good to come in the future.
