An e-mail I received... what say folks?

*** Is this something that we want to see happen at Wesleyan soon?***

Dear Sumana,

My name is Eric and I’m a member of Tim Be Told's management team. Tim Be Told is an Asian American rock band based out of Charlottesville, Virginia. They would love an opportunity to play for AASC at Wesleyen.

The band plays a rock/soul driven brand of pop and has opened for major label acts such as OK Go and Sparky's Flaw. They have played at many universities including NYU, Columbia, OSU, UVA, VCU, and Marymount University, among many others. The band’s music is played and sung through the band members’ perspectives as first generation American-born Asians, and we like to think that other Asian Americans can really relate to the music.

I was hoping that you would consider bringing Tim Be Told to play a future event for AASC, whether it be in the Spring Semester, next Fall, or any other time. They are quite an inspiring band and put on an incredible show! Go Cardinals!
Best regards,

Eric Macalma

P.S.: I appreciate your time and thought you may enjoy listening to the band’s music at www.myspace.com/timbetold. You can also watch some of their live videos on YouTube! :
