"We like to infuse different styles of music like rock, hip-hop, pop and the blues into our songs," Rachmany said. Jacques Indekeu said he is a big fan of Rebelution and reggae music in general. Rebelution has more of a new wave style when compared to the traditional style of Bob Marley, Indekeu (junior-marketing) said.

"There isn't a place to dance. per se, but people have been to known to dance in the aisles and around the seats. You don't real ize all the places you can dance until you've been to a concert where people are doing it," Cyone said. But Rebelution's music has more than danceable grooves - - it has a message, too. "Our tour is called 'Give Thanks' because that's a term you hear in reggae a lot," Rachmany said. "Life is fragile.

State Theatre has such a great vibe, a great aura. I love it," she said. The State Theatre was origi nally hesitant about booking the show.

College Ave. Details: Tickets are $l5 before the show and $l7 the day of Artist brings crowd to its feet By Josh Bollinger COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER By the end of his fourth song, Robert Randolph's guitar was lying on the ground and he was playing it with his tongue. Robert Randolph and the Family Band played last night at the State Theatre incorporating styles of gospel, funk and blues music in his set. Robert Randolph is famous for playing the lap steel guitar and making Rolling Stone Magazine's list "Top 100 Guitarists of All Time." "He's a soulful character," Andy Orr, 22, of Huntingdon, Pa., said. Orr, who's a fan of bluegrass music a genre notorious for its use of lap steel guitar said he's never seen a lap steel guitarist play the way Randolph did. "I've seen few people play it so masterfully" Orr said, who added that he likes how expressive the instrument is and how he uses it to blend multiple genres together. Geary Kochersperger (senior business and economics) said that Randolph's concerts remind him of what it must be like to be at a southern church because of the gospel influence. He said he loves the band because their music is so eclectic and Randolph's shows are typi cally incredibly soulful while maintaining a high level of energy that gets the crowd on their feet to clap and dance along. "The show just blew me away," Kochersperger said. "It was Art, psychology to mesh in exhibit A parallel between art and psy chology: That's what Diana Cuello's art represents. Cuello will have her artwork titled "Esmorina Laspiranza" exhibited from now until Dec. 8 in West Halls as a part of Penn State's Art on the Move program, which seeks to showcase the art work of graduate students and alumni. " CEsmorina Laspiranzal is a collection of Spanish words that translate to hope, vagina, death and breath," Cuello said. "It's a conglomerate of images of self and the way I've seen myself and my body as I've grown and expe rienced things." Cuello a graduate student at Duquesne University with an undergraduate degree in psychol ogy and visual arts from Rutgers University— describes her work as abstract and said her interest in psychology has a profound effect on her art. "My art is an expression of my unconscious. I see images emerge in my work and find myself discov ering as I go through the drawing process," she said. 0 Marmot SALE N1V20% orr ALL Marmot Gloves SALE ends Saturday, October 30th 123 S Allen St State College 814-234-3000 appalachian www.appoutdoors.com outdoors—, By Chris Dilenno FOR THE COLLEGIAN Sarah rinno r Lap steel guitarist and artist Robert Randolph performed an energetic show Tuesday night at the State Theatre, 130 W. College Ave unlike anything I've ever experi enced before." The crowd was definitely danc ing. Some of the women in the audi ence got a chance to dance on stage after Randolph asked the crowd, "Somebody want to dance a little bit?" The women weren't the only ones dancing; even Randolph himself got on his feet to bust a move while his band jammed out behind him. That's one of Ryan Dolen's favorite parts of Randolph's shows. Dolen (senior-civil engineer ing) said he's been to his fair share of Randolph shows, and at every one he's been to, there's If you go What "Esmonna Laspiranza" by Diana Cuello When: On display now through Dec. 8 Where: West Halls Details: Admission is free Cuello said having her art shown at a college is very differ ent from the way she usually presents it. "It feels as if I don't have as much control," she said. "It's more academic and I like the idea of it being exhibited for a long period of time, whereas my previ ous exhibitions were mostly one nighters." Art on the Move exhibits art from a number of students and graduates throughout the school year. The exhibits are in various places around campus including the residence halls, the Student Health Center and Old Main. This year's program includes other student artists like Liz Pasqualo (senior-drawing and painting) and Michele Rivera (graduate drawing and painting).
