Review: Biggest Mouth: Campus Clash

Sophie Win.jpgLast week I attended the final event for Biggest Mouth: Campus Clash which we have been previewing for the last couple of weeks. The talent competition put finalists from Columbia College, Roosevelt University and DePaul University up against each other. There were a lot of entertaining acts, but only three could walk away winners. Still, it was a great opportunity for all the contestants to perform on the Metro stage.

The top two numbers combined music and dance for the win. Here we bring you a photo review of the evening's winners. (Photos by Jim Kopeny)

Winners Sophie's Choice (Roosevelt) received $3,000, a Shure Microphones prize package, a $100 Epic Burger gift certificate and an opening slot at a future Metro show.
SC Win.jpgSinger: Sophie Grimm. Dancers: Katie Huff, Amanda Miller and Tiffany Taylor and Amy Orman (choreographer).

She's Money

By Kara Luger

When talking musical influences with Helen Money, it's easy to forget her instrument of choice: cello. She references Bob Mould's Beaster, with its wall of sound and intense, thought-obliterating guitar work. She speaks of The Who and all the crazy rock bands she was exposed to in the '80s. "The stuff I like sounds like life or death," she reasons. And this coming from a woman with a picture of Jimi Hendrix taped to her cello case like he's a saint.
