Entry of the Week: Tastemakers Tunes Now in its eighth installment, the Tastemakers Presents concert series is bringing Titus Andronicus, The Dodos and Javelin to play an outdoor show Saturday, Oct. 1 in Centennial Common. Each band has received more than its fair share of critical acclaim and will deliver a unique musical style to campus. Javelin, an electronic pair from Brooklyn that blends hip-hop beats with R&B influences, will open the show.
