LETTER: Where are the bigger bands?

To the Editor: Saturday was the first time I attended one of the spring concerts. It was the first one which I was even remotely interested in seeing. I, like most Fairfield students, had never heard of Howie Day, but after going to his website and listening to a few sound bytes, I decided he was worth seeing for $8.
