The Band ‘Weird People’ Rocks the Quad
Weird People performs together again after 20 years.
Seven Lafayette graduates are performing a very special concert under a tent on the Quad. They’re celebrating the 20th reunion of the Class of 1991, the graduating class for five members of the band. They’re also celebrating their first joint show since they graduated. They sound so fun and funky, it seems they’ve been playing together for 20 years, when in fact they’ve been playing together for two days.
The entire scene seems weirdly natural for Weird People, the only band formed at Lafayette with a George Wharton Pepper Prize-winning drummer, a clown for an emcee, and a theme song called “Constipated Ostrich.”
