Good Day!
WELCOME TO OSUToday, the latest news and information for faculty and staff of The Ohio State University for Wednesday, May 13. The deadline for submissions is noon the prior business day.

OSUToday sponsored by the Wexner Center for the Arts
Some shows are just for fun — and this is one of them. Garage-rockin' psychedelic soul collective King Khan & the Shrines crank out a combo of killer riffs and unhinged stage antics that's guaranteed to start a party. Sounding like Sun Ra meets ? and the Mysterians at a carnival sideshow, this Montreal-Berlin axis nine-piece big band kick out the jams with a contagious, crazed zeal that just plain can't be denied. Mark Sultan opens. Tickets are $12 all audiences. Read more: http://www.wexarts.org/pa/index.php?eventid=3803
