Gym Class Heroes in the Daily Colonial
As part of their Spring Fling concert series, Gym Class Heroes were recently featured in the school paper The Daily Colonial after their performance at GW. The article ran earlier this week. It’s not all that interesting, but apparently Travie is still getting bras thrown at him by audience members. Check out the entire article from the Daily Colonial here:
GW students and friends sang, danced, and jumped along Saturday night to the hour and a half long set by Gym Class Heroes, this year’s Spring Fling headlining act.
The performance included some of the band’s most popular songs such as “Cupid’s Chokehold” and “Clothes Off”, as well as some new material from their upcoming album “The Quilt.”
During their performance of “Clothes Off,” the band asked the crowd to throw their clothing onto the stage for the collection to later be given to charity. Most of the donations were t-shirts, including many of the free lime green “fling it” shirts given to Spring Fling attendees. But lead singer Travis McCoy also happily displayed a black bra that landed among the clothes on stage.
Though lead guitarist Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo, 25, lamented that the band’s last visit to Washington “sucked,” he explained the importance of a performance like Saturday’s.
“I think it’s good to get it out there,” said Lumumba-Kasongo, who attended Cornell University. “It’s good to reconnect with the college audience and let them know that we were in the same position ourselves.”
“I want people to know that if you follow your heart,” he said, “and put in a little bit of work, you’ll be where you want to be.”
