Streetlight Manifesto in Ithaca

This evening, Emerson Suites transformed into a punk/ska venue when Streetlight Manifesto took the stage. Before the band went on, IC's very own ska band Gypsy Gets Shotgun had the chance to open for them.

The lead singer of GGS was in complete bliss when telling the audience that Streetlight Manifesto is the reason they started a band, and they couldn't believe they were opening for them. 

Once Streetlight stepped out, the crowd pushed forward, pits opened up and crowd surfing had begun. Their fast-paced melodies kept the show's energy extremely high, not leaving a moment to catch your breath. Fans were jumping on top of one another, punching the air, losing their shoes and screaming the lyrics.

Streetlight started playing at 8 p.m. and the show only lasted about an hour. I didn't get to hear them play my favorite song by them, Linoleum, but the show was definitely worth going to.
