Thurs: Krispy Kremes and Karaoke at Legends
Never thought you'd see these two together, huh? Thanks to the creative folks at Legends, you're in luck if you find yourself craving fried desserts and public singing in one night of entertainment. Whether or not you know the literal translation of "karaoke" ("empty" and "orchestra," according to the wise words of Wikipedia), we suggest checking out what will hopefully be the latest in a long series of donut-themed karaoke nights at Notre Dame's on-campus club. Krispy Kremes and Karaoke starts at midnight.
Fri: The Hot Club of San Francisco at DPAC
The Hot Club of San Francisco, a swing band, will be appearing at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center this Friday at 8 p.m. in a multimedia event called "Silent Surrealism." The band will perform live jazz while five silent films from the early 20th century will be shown on screen in the DPAC's Leighton Concert Hall. These films include "It's A Bird" and "Now You Tell One" by Charlie Bowers, as well as others from the era. No doubt a unique experience for the adventurous concertgoer, the performance should prove to be a highly interesting one for any fan of music, film or both.
Sat: Kennedy's Kitchen at Brighid's Irish Pub
Students are likely familiar with Kennedy's Kitchen, a traditional Irish band who often play at Fiddler's Hearth in downtown South Bend. Kennedy's Kitchen, who have performed with the Chieftans and Tommy Makem, as well as in a variety of music venues and Irish festivals, will play this Saturday from 7:30 to 11 p.m. at Brighid's Irish Pub. Often mixing stories, Irish tales and ballads into their concerts along with traditional music, the band is sure to provide locals and visitors alike with a solid night of entertainment. Who knows - maybe you'll see a jig or two. Brighid's Irish Pub is located at 52890 SR-933 North in South Bend.
Sun: "Dr. Strangelove" at DPAC
"Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" is nothing short of a film classic. Made at the height of the Cold War nuclear neurosis in the early 1960s, the film is a star turn by Peter Sellers, who plays no less than three roles. "Dr. Strangelove" features an impressive ensemble cast including George C. Scott, Slim Pickens as Maj. T.J. "King" Kong, and even a young James Earl Jones. For fans of film, outrageous comedy and political jibes, any airing this 1964 classic is not to be missed. The film shows at 3 p.m. Tickets are free, but must be reserved ahead of time by calling the Ticket Office at 574-631-2800.
