The Hood Internet, Rafter, Stout Cortez Rock Bulldog Alley

WGTB wrapped up its Spring Cleaning Concert Series with our second spring concert this past Friday night in Bulldog Alley. The Hood Internet, the awesome DJ duo with a penchant for indie bands and lots of R. Kelly, melted faces with their songs and opener Rafter equally impressed with their danceable experimental rock. Senior Justin Hunter Scott, aka Stout Cortez, opened up the whole show to the delight of the crowd.

Check out pictures below, and stay tuned for the posting of an interview with the Hood Internet hosted by Saxappeal.
