Tickets will go on sale today for People Under the Stairs, the first concert of the semester presented by University Union's Bandersnatch series. The Los Angeles hip-hop group will perform at the Schine Underground on Tuesday, Feb. 6. Bandersnatch president Kelly Bertog said the group would be a change in pace from last semester's Indie rock-based concerts, highlighted by shows with Matt Pond Pa., The Format and The Secret Machines. "Bandersnatch hasn't done hip-hop in a while," Bertog said. "And we're always trying to diversify our lineups, so we thought this would be a chance to do that." People Under the Stairs, which was featured on the videogame soundtrack to "Tony Hawk's Underground" and released its fourth full-length album, "Stepfather," last spring, has an interactive lyrical style similar to Jurassic 5 and A Tribe Called Quest. Bertog said the group was something new for Syracuse University students. "They're really big in the underground hip-hop scene, especially on the West Coast," Bertog said. Bertog also promised at least three more concerts this semester from Bandersnatch. Tickets are being sold at the Schine Box Office for $5 with an SU ID and $10 without.
