Back in college, we had a pretty weak on-campus music scene at Dartmouth - a dearth of campus bands, poor choices by Programming Board (see: Vanessa Carlton, Augustana, Third Eye Blind), and general apathy regarding live music. Some huge indie names came to campus courtesy of an organization known as Friday Night Rock, but the homegrown talent was pretty limited.
One of the few musically talented individuals at our small beloved college was Simon Trabelsi, better known as Young Ivy. Occasionally mocked for his shirt off antics, Young Ivy made some undeniably catchy tracks that made their way into brains and basements across campus. He had like...two three songs, but they were pretty good.
Recently, I heard word that Young Ivy teamed up with Swedish production duo Blänk, putting out a "Euro" version of "Shirt Off", by far Trabelsi's best tune. The song is catchy, with a nicely placed beat, and the video is kinda cool.
Here's to more people I sat in music class with getting famous!
