Another hour, another live music performance.
Hailing from Easton, Pennsylvania, Slamb, a group of five college-aged students, and their wide range of hit cover songs rocked the Bryce Jordan Center early Saturday morning. From performing Zach Bryan to ABBA, the group showed off its wide range.
The group began with Alabama’s hit “Sweet Home Alabama” and had everyone in the crowd yelling every lyric. Next, “What I Got” by Sublime kept the intro going and the vibes sky-high.
Three songs later, the band dipped into some late 90s hip hop by playing the Backstreet Boys hit song “I Want It That Way,” another crowd favorite. Keeping the early morning crowd into it, the next song was another fan favorite in “Walk This Way” by Aerosmith.
After a few punk rock hits, the performance began to wind down, but the final four songs had the Bryce Jordan Center booming. First up was “Stick Season” by Noah Kahan, followed by a very loud “WE ARE!” chant. Safe to say spectators were enjoying themselves.
Next, the band played “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers and followed it with ABBA’s “Dancing Queen,” two more songs that had the crowd screaming every lyric at the top of their lungs.
Finally, the band closed out its 45-minute set with Bryan’s “Revival” and took a page out of the Oklahoma singer-songwriter’s book by introducing each member of the band while the hit song played. After the band concluded, it thanked the crowd and led a “For The Kids!” chant. - THONward State
Easton, Pennsylvania cover band Slamb was tasked with waking up THON with a 5 a.m. performance.
The band provided heavier renditions of classic rock songs throughout the set.
Lead singer Ben Carlin instructed a distracted crowd to sing and dance along to the set. While many of the dancers were away at other events on the floor, the group who stuck to the stage stayed engaged with the band.
The opening number, “Sweet Home Alabama,” caused a dance circle to open up next to the stage. The small group held its line throughout the set.
The next song was the theme from the show “Friends,” prompting a simultaneous clap from the crowd in tune with the song.
The bassist was introduced as he led the riff to “Are You Gonna Be My Girl.” The crowd regained some life at that part of the set.
The singer’s voice took a poppier tone as he covered the opening lines of “I Want It That Way.” The genre switched to rap with a fast-paced cover of Run DMC and Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way.” The band improvised a breakdown at the end of the song as a transition into “Love Shack.”
Every few songs, the lead singer stopped to speak and get the crowd’s attention back. One such stoppage led to a singalong during “I’m a Believer.” The song potentially evoked images of Shrek in the college-aged crowd.
The Bryce Jordan Center crowd started flowing like a beach wave instrumental that featured an extended cowbell solo. The crowd was moving in tune with the familiar movie tune.
After a couple of cult classics, Slamb covered Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” to get the college crowd singing again.
The fan service continued with the usual “We Are Penn State” callout and a minute of “Kernkraft 400.” Then, for the second time of the night, "Mr. Brightside” got the floor jumping more than any song.
“We had a mini-THON back at our high school, and now we’re here at Penn State.” Carlin said before breaking into a hardcore cover of “Dancing Queen.”
The performance closed with a tribute to the dancers on the floor and a rendition of “Revival” by Zach Bryan that spiked the audience one last time. - Daily Collegian
