College Station Favorite 'The Band CAMINO' Is The Life Of This Year's BYX Island Party

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!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
