After Dark

Since its formation in 2001, Washington University's After Dark has taken the acapella world by storm. When they aren't recording award-winning albums, performing on national television, or being featured in the Huffington Post, After Dark can be found breaking into song in late-night diners across the Midwest. Be sure to check out their newest album, Aftermath, on iTunes now!

 

 

The Pikers

Since 1985, the Pikers have been rocking the WashU campus. This group is the oldest accapella group on campus and one of the best known. They all share a common love for music, though they come from many backgrounds - some of them having extensive musical experience, while others had little or none before joinging the group.

Founded in 1988, the Greenleaf's are the second oldest group at WashU and the only all female group.

Hazard to Ya Booty-5:30-6:30pm

Hazard to Ya Booty was just a mid-level band trying to combine funk and rock with sprinkles of soul and hip-hop and make it in St. Louis. Then during an open jam one night they stumbled upon a groove so powerful, so profound, that the music itself became physical. The band dubbed this new discovery in music technology CRUNCHY FUNK and are furiously working on containing the potent and unpredictable sound in their third album The Precipice, slated for an 2011 release.
