Golden anniversary for East Lansing art BASEMENT SHARK ATTACK TAKES A BITE OF MUSIC SCENE By Omari Sankofa II sankofao@msu.edu THE STATE NEWS
By Katie Abdilla abdillak@msu.edu THE STATE NEWS ■■
Since the age of 8, making music has been earth science senior Jeremy Cronk’s top priority. Now, as the lead guitarist for local band Basement Shark Attack, it’s all about being innovative with the Cronk band and his solo projects. “The band is alternative rock, but my own personal music is more psychedelic folk,” Cronk said. “I’m trying to make things that don’t sound like anything I’ve heard.” After playing a few shows sporadically throughout 2012, Cronk was expecting to remain a small, independent band within East Lansing. When the band was approached to open up for Hawthorne Heights last November at The Loft, 414 E. Michigan Ave., in Lansing, he said he couldn’t believe it. “It was probably the most fun show I’ve ever played,” he said. “It’s cool to see a band like that live. I didn’t think I’d get to see them play, let alone play with them.” Cronk’s friend, marketing senior Ross Simons, said it’s never been about fame for the
musician. “For some people, their goal is to make themselves interesting and popular,” Simons said. “With him, it doesn’t really matter, as long as he’s making music. He’s willing to do anything to make music, regardless of the circumstance.” Despite booking their shows independently, Basement Shark Attack will perform as the opening act for grunge-rock band Red Jumpsuit Apparatus in April at Uli’s Haus of Rock, 4519 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., in Lansing. But Kenny Kerner, the director of the music business program at Musicians Institute, in Hollywood, said acquiring a band manager would be monumental in boosting the band’s relevance. After notably discovering rock band Kiss, Kerner said he has seen nothing but benefits from the partnership. “The pros of having the professional manager are endless,” Kerner said. “That manager can put together a serious career plan for how to develop the band’s career. They can expose them to people they’d never be able to reach.” With graduation quickly approaching, members are unsure of where the band will head. But all that matters Hoffer, said, is the pure enjoyment. “It’s just a fun thing to do,” Hoffer said. “We’re a band that’s more about just having fun.”

For 50 years, the East Lansing Art Festival has celebrated the city’s history and affluence in the arts. As a precursor, (SCENE) Metrospace will host the “The East Lansing Art Festival 50th Anniversary Poster Art Exhibition,” opening today. The exhibit will be a display of the various posters that have promoted the event since its inception. (SCENE) Metrospace director Tim Lane said residents will be able to take a lot from the exhibit. “They’ll be able to come and view some great art, that being some purchase pieces that the city has purchased from the art festival over the years,” Lane said. “They’ll be able to relive some fond memories of visiting the art festival after viewing some art posters from over the years.” East Lansing Community Events Assistant Michelle Carlson said the exhibit gives a snapshot of the different styles of art that have called East Lansing home. “You can see the progression of graphic art and different mediums, so that’s interesting,” Carlson said. Graphic desig n f ir m CiesaDesign has designed many of the posters since 1991. Lauren Ciesa, founder and owner of the firm, said they donate the art-

ed that students check out the exhibition. “The poster conventions showcases all of the different events that have happened in Lansing over the years,” she said. “Through the poster display, it’s easy to read, and posters are very accessible, so you see them all over, and that’s what makes posters cool. They have artistic nature and an informational kind of purpose. The posters showcase local artists, too, so that’s another interesting characteristic about a poster exhibition.” Ciesa said the East Lansing Art Festival is something that the city has a lot of pride in, and the exhibition helps represent that pride. “What I think it represents is it’s been a 50-year commitment to the arts programs in East Lansing,” he said. It’s a meeting place for all the artists and people in the community. I think that’s what they’ll learn. They’ll see the growth and the commitment.”

work to help promote art in the community. “When you can look at the artwork you can see different eras and popularity,” Ciesa said. “It was always a symbol of that spring celebration in East Lansing. Going back 50 years, I think we have the second-oldest art festival in the state of Michigan. I think the Ann Arbor festival is two years older than we are.” Ciesa was the company representative on the East Lansing Arts Commission until eight years ago. He said though he did many of the original posters, there’s a variety of artists represented, from his firm and outside. “I don’t want to short my other artists who have also done work on it,” he said. “In the early years, I did most of them as an artist myself. When you look at the collection that will be up for the exhibit tomorrow, you’ll see a good cross-section of different artists’ points of view on the collection.” Arts and humanities senior Augusta Morrison, who volunteers at (SCENE) Metrospace, 410 Abbot Rd., recommend-
