Review of the band’s Friday night show at the Riviera.

The wrangling that took Friday’s Riviera concert from suggestion to reality.

A&O Productions painted today’s Rock to promote ticket sales for their fall blowout show featuring Death Cab for Cutie and So Many Dynamos.
Tickets are available starting at 9 a.m. at the Norris Box Office for $15 each. Students can buy four tickets per Wildcard, with a limit of one Wildcard per person. [...]

Frontman Adam Duritz was the enigmatic wild card at Thursday’s A&O Ball.

And everything you ever wanted to know about A&O.

They’re performing at the Riviera Thursday. But did you know the band’s name comes from a nursery rhyme?

As you may know, the Counting Crows will be the headline performers at the 2008 A&O Ball this Thursday, April 10 at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago. Tickets are still available, and A&O Productions will be selling them for $15 a piece by the Rock this week.

And that announcement goes a little like this:
THE RHYMENOCEROUS AND HIPHOPOPOTAMUS ARE COMING TO [...]

A recently released Dance Marathon calendar listed the event as occurring in Cahn Auditorium at 8 p.m. A representative from the touring department of the Creative Artists Agency, which represents Flight of the Conchords, confirmed the [...]

We heart you, B.J. Novak. Photo courtesy NBC Entertainment.

When I found out that B.J. Novak was coming to speak on February 16, I couldn’t stop grinning.
See, I’m one of those obsessive fans of Novak’s show, The Office. You hate us if you’re not one of us. We yell “that’s what she [...]

OK Go blows, but A&O has found a performance winner for their Fall Show

If you didn’t notice, A&O productions officially announced the Adult Swim Presents concert, rumored for a while, featuring rock darlings …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead and not-real cartoon group Dethklok. The collision between animated and real comes to Ryan Auditorium Sunday at 7 p.m. There are pros and [...]
