Gym Class Heroes at American Eagle Show
Monday, March 3rd, 2008
Anerican Eagle Outfitters just held their winter ski-themed spring break at Squaw Valley USA in Olympic Valley, California, a couple of days ago. For those who made it to see Gym Class Heroes, it was apparently a great show. I live in Toronto, so hell naw, I didn’t attend. I did see some recent pictures of the guys, however, sporting some new looks. Eric just cut his hair short and Matt was sporting a full ginger beard, which threw me off for a second. There are some videos of the band before the show in which they shout out some GCH message boardies. I posted those Youtube videos below. Travie shouts out his message board fans and Dasishi does a bit of the same in two parts, as well as talk about his “bear” jacket, which I have no idea what that is. Check out all three videos below.
The American Eagle Outfitters spring break thing happened between 3 – 5 PM on March 1st in Tahoe City, California. The purpose of the event was to give people an alternative to the beach during spring break, hosting a massive party on the slopes. Other activities included American Eagle Outfitters lounge with exciting giveaways, live DJ, as well as Adirondack chairs and fire pits for relaxing and warming up. Here is the Gym Class Heroes information taken from the AE web site:
“Take a little bit of rap, mix in some rock, add some R&B with a bit of funk and you’ve got Gym Class Heroes. Fully of energy, humor, and socially conscious lyrics, these guys can turn it up and crank it out. These guys own the beat and are known for using live instruments and musicians rather than looped samples to make their distinct sound. Now they’re going to heat things up at Squaw Valley USA with live outdoor performances for AE Spring Break 2008 on the slopes.”
