College bands find it difficult to combine life in the classroom with life on concert stages.
"We'll be driving while these two guys are cramming books in their face," said Azure Bloom guitar player Ken Labonski, a recent graduate of DePaul's School of Music. Jeff Kolwitz, the band's bassist, is also a recent graduate of the music school.
Members of the bands Azure Bloom and Level, both playing in today's Union Fest, face the challenge of juggling studies and songs. The Lawrence-based band Level will play in front of the Kansas Union at noon, and Azure Bloom will follow at 1 p.m.
The band's first album, Looking is Free, is scheduled to be released in September by 312 Records. The band is working on a follow-up record, Labonski said.
Azure Bloom has an eclectic acoustic sound that draws on the member's backgrounds in rock, folk, jazz and classical guitar.

all of our talent," Labonski said. "Each instrumental part is so intricate that I almost dread working on it. We demand a lot of each other."
Like two of the members of Azure Bloom, all of Level's members balance classroom work with their music.
Level is a band comprised of KU students. They have a diversity in their educational pursuits — from history to music — and in their musical styles.
Kill Creek enjoys Lawrence popularity

Gone are the days when Kill Creek was in awe of The Bottleneck.
Kansan staff writer
Ron Hayes, 27, guitarist of Lawrence's band Kill Creek, says the popular local venue for live music used to seem out of reach for bands such as his.
"We started out playing at The Outhouse," Hayes said, referring to the now-defunct punk rock club several miles east of Massachusetts Street. "And the Bottleneck, for us, back then was pretty much a huge concert hall. We never had much of a chance to get in there."
Doug.Richards, a promoter for Pipeline Productions who schedules the Bottleneck's shows, anticipated Kill Creek's concert at The Bottleneck tonight would sell out.
Now, Kill Creek is perhaps the biggest band in Lawrence. After signing with Mammoth Records, their shows at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., have become major events.
"They rule," Richards said. "We used to hang out together at The Outhouse when we were 15. I've seen them go from being a little garage band to a real professional groun."
Kill Creek's past fear of The Bottleneck has evolved into a longtime partnership.
Hayes said because touring could be an uphill battle, the band enjoyed playing there.
"It's hard to tour and have your expectations shot on a daily basis," he said. "There always could be the sad possibility that maybe you're just not very good. That's a hard thing to accept.
"When you go and play in Balti-
more for nine people, it makes you
you really appreciate playing in front of
people who are familiar with your
material," he said. "But I always just
assume our next Bottleneck show
is going to be our next disaster."
Jen Plantz, a publicist for Mammoth Records, said tonight's Bottleneck show was the first in a month-long tour, and emphasized the

importance of seeing the band live.
"They're pretty serious up there, but the type of music they play is good for kids of a college age," Plantz said.
"Their songs are about the kind of stuff people our age experience. They're definitely not your average college band."
"The kind of stuff that isn't immediately catchy, it doesn't hit you right at first," Hayes said.
Yet Hayes, whose band's previous album, St. Valentine's Garage, was considered a melodic punk masterpiece, is ambivalent about people's reactions to the new album.
Kill Creek, which consists of Hayes, Scott Born, Patrick Grassy and Ken Anderson, received much local air play and critical praise for their recent LP, Proving Winter Cruel.
Kill Creek's patented pop hooks are still on the record, they're just quieter and harder to catch than they are live.
Opening for Kill Creek tonight are locals Let's Rodeo and St. Louis' Stillwater. Admission is $5.
"We all don't go out enough to know what people think about us," Hayes said. "I guess I sort of care, but I'm not too caught up in it. We were kind of worried with the new record, because we thought we might alienate some of the fans."
