Within the walls of Texas A&M University, I think it's pretty safe to say BYX Island Party is a pretty big hit. I think it's even safer to say that 'The Band CAMINO' is an even bigger hit. What do you get when you combine the two? A dreamy Saturday night at Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheatre we're probably not going to forget anytime soon.

Before this carefully handcrafted event got started, I had the chance to sit down and talk with 'The Band CAMINO' about life, music, and what's next for these awesome guys.

I am always curious to know what the writing process looks like when more than one person is involved, so this was one of the first things I asked them.

"We definitely take individual roles I think, we all kind of write-in different capacities. Me (Jeffery) and Spencer write most of the lyrics. I probably write the most quantity of songs, not all of which get recorded, but we all take a different role and it looks different all the time. We just vibe something out and jam on it until we are like, "oh this is cool." But we're always trying to write as many songs as we can."

A new favorite question of mine to ask: If you had to use one word to describe your sound what would it be?

"Electric, heartfelt, thoughtful, cool, passionate, emotional, honest, goofy and real" are all words given to me by 'The Band CAMINO'. And I think if you've at least listened to some of their music, you can agree.

A quick glimpse of the most FUN interview I've ever been a part of. Brandon Arlington

The real question I know you're all DYING to know the answer to is If they would have perfect dad bods or perfect dad jokes for the rest of your life, which one would they choose?

It was a unanimous dad joke. After what a dad bod is was explained of course.

"It's like really really upper chest looks fantastic, but once you get to the belly, it's like a man that guy's been drinking at least a 6 pack a day for the last ten years." - Spencer

I'm pretty sure this is the actual definition in Webster's Dictionary by the way.

The ACTUAL real question I know you're DYING to know the answer to: do they have any new music coming out soon?

The answer is yes, but that's all I'm allowed to say, so get pumped because anticipation is only like 7% as fun as new music is!

As for their pre-performance ritual? You'll never guess what it consists of.

"The one thing we all do as a group before we go on is we put our hands in and we all say "Kenneth," we don't really know who Kenneth is…." is the enlightening statement given to us by Jeffery.

Graham threw in, "People reading this are gonna be like aw sick what do they do…"

Jeffery continued to explain, "It's stupid, it's together, it's nonsensical, you just quit taking yourself so seriously. It sets the mood. You're not gonna be nervous if you're saying, Kenneth!"

I think I' going to start chanting "1, 2, 3, Kenneth!" every morning in the mirror to get myself hyped in the morning! In all seriousness, I truly wish these guys the best in everything because I am now way cooler of a person simply because I got to meet them. They are hilarious, I was dying laughing the whole interview and they just radiate through their genuine souls. Do yourself a favor and head over to their Spotify, or do yourself an even bigger favor and head over to their website for more concert tickets!

'THE BAND CAMINO' FOREVER!

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
