Carls are invited to a concert by The New Standards as part of Family Weekend 2024

Saturday, October 19, 2024

Time
9:00 p.m. with Carleton student band Leaves On Your Windshield opening at 8:30 p.m. Doors open at 8:00 p.m.

Location
Armory Square Event Center
519 Division Street S.,
Northfield, MN 55057

The three core members of The New Standards all come from illustrious Twin Cities bands. Chan Poling founded the seminal Punk/New Wave band The Suburbs. John Munson was an original member of Trip Shakespeare and the chart-topping Semisonic. Steve Roehm started on drums in the Texas punk outfit Billygoat and the avant-jazz Electropolis. Sensing a lack of interesting jazz trio repertoire beyond the usual “old standards,” they got together originally to play and sing their favorite songs—from every era, particularly post 1960’s pop music—in a stripped-down acoustic setting, making room for solos and arrangements with the freedom of jazz, and yet never fully abandoning the modest soul of pop and rock. Check out the band's music online.
