A
SCENE & HEARD // BIRD DOG
> New places, new faces.
Eating on campus has never tasted so good. Bird Dog provides campus visitors with great food that won't leave a hole in their wallets and will satisfy just about any appetite.
Bird Dog, located on the first floor of The Oread, features an American sportsman theme with each dining table named after a dog belonging to one of the restaurant's owners. While you enjoy your favorite food and drink, you can also watch a game on one of the 11 50-inch flat-screen televisions.
Chase Vaughn, sophomore from Iola, is a big fan of its Sunday deals and says it's a great place to hang with friends or family when they're on campus. "I always order the chicken strips on Sundays. They're only $1.50 a piece," he says. "The first time I bit into one, it was like love at first bite."
Bird Dog server Jake McNiel says he notices students coming into the restaurant frequently. "With our specials and wide range of food selection, Bird Dog is affordable on any budget and it's tasty. We recently changed our menu and I think it's better then ever," McNiel says. "I would definitely order the chicken
nachos or have our hand-breaded chicken fingers. These have always been the Bird Dog favorites and will always be my favorites."
If you're in the neighborhood and your stomach needs some loving, head to Bird Dog inside The Oread at 1200 Oread Ave. They're open 11 a.m. to midnight, Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

STAGE PRESENCE // WRONG KATA TRIO
> Feel free to swoon.
Wrong Kata Trio, a three-piece ensemble from Lawrence, should serve as a reminder that music doesn't have to adhere to trends. Sometimes it's just music: impossible to categorize, but oh so good.
Some might characterize Wrong Kata as a "jam band" because they don't have a singer, but the term is vague and doesn't account for the variety of sounds and genres they explore. The members cite everything from Led Zeppelin to Roots Radics, and a variety of European jazz artists as influences, which, to a degree, account for their complex sound.
Despite the difficulty in pinning them with a genre, one facet of Wrong Kata Trio's music is clear and consistent throughout their songs: these guys can groove. "Anthony has always been my favorite groove bass player to play with. He's so deep in the pocket," says drummer Brandon Graves. Graves assembled the band more than a year ago after realizing the possibility of getting Anthony Case, UJ Pesonen (guitarist) and himself together to create music. "I knew in my head what it might sound like, so I wanted to get all of us in a room together," he says.
Regardless of their undeniable musical prowess, the band isn't interested in relentlessly touring to achieve national recognition. "It's not really about making it anymore. It's about being
creative and being able to make music we care about for people in the area," Graves says. They're opening for Mouth on Friday, Feb. 3, at The Bottleneck.
On Nov. 11, they headlined at Jazzhaus. Local Lawrence musician Jake Liston from The Windup Birds was in attendance and when asked what he thought about the band, he didn't elaborate. "Those guys are fucking awesome," he says.
