Coubtbsy Cymbals Eat Guitar*
▲ Hailing from New York City, Cymbals Eat
Guitars spice up average American rock and rod.
Experimental band
embraces contrasts
By CHRIS MILLER
The Red & Black
It wasn't that Matt
Whipple didn’t like his old
band.
He just needed some
thing a little... different.
“[My previous band]
didn't really satisfy a lot of
my more experimental
impulses, and this band
definitely does,” Whipple
said. “This band is a chal
lenge. every new song that
we write.”
This band is Cymbals
Eat Guitars, for which
Whipple is the bass player,
and they are currently
tearing across the U S. as
ambassadors to the mass
es on behalf of indie rock
on the edge.
CEG has been bopping
around the New York area
in various incarnations for
the past five years or so,
but now they are solidified
in form and moving for
ward with purpose.
Now on tour, the band
has been writing and pre
paring to record its second
album in a mix of live
recordings and overdubs.
With a first album get
ting rave reviews, the
members of CEG are
determined to keep push
ing themselves rather than
satisfying any demands
outside the band.
“I definitely think the
most pressure we feel we
place on ourselves, to write
something that satisfies us
creatively,” Whipple said.
That creativity is amply
available on their first
release, and might be hard
to match.
“Why There Are Trees,”
released in 2009, is a
dynamic exposition of the
possibilities of “indie
rock.”
It pulses from hard rock
and thrashing guitars to
near silence at a whim,
from anthemic melodies to
dissonant hollering effort
lessly.
As much as structure
varies within each song, as
much as it may seem to
ramble right up to the

edge of an icky, idiosyn
cratic mess, you can
always count on it erupt
ing back into something
very familiar to the aver
age American rock and roll
mind.
The oddities are cer
tainly odd, but they act
with a purpose that is
undeniable.
The material off of “Why
There Are Trees" was
largely composed by lead
singer/guitarist Joe
D’Agostino, but the newer
material —some of which
will be displayed at
tonight’s show is more a
combination of all the cur
rent and permanent tour
ing members.
“Recently we’ve been
branching out [in song
writing], being a little bit
more free-form about it,”
Whipple said.
Driving the creativity of
the band's recordings with
live performances is prob
ably an effective method
for a band whose on-stage
intensity only amps up
their already wound-tight
songs.
“You should probably
bring a set of ear plugs, it’s
an incredibly loud show,”
Whipple said. “It’s gotten a
little bit quieter as we’ve
tried to focus on our sing
ing a little better.”
If you show up expect
ing powerful, creative rock
from a solid up-and-com
ing group, you won’t be
disappointed.
But if that’s not your
thing, Cymbals Eat
Guitars has your back.
“We’re not incredibly
fUnny, we’re not big on
stage banter;” Whipple
said. “So if you’re someone
who loves stage banter,
then maybe ... then the
Thermals are up right after
us, they can be very
charming.”

Junior leads way for cross country
Krueger challenges
for a national title
By ROBBIE OTTLEY
The Red & Black
Junior Kristie Krueger found out
the difference a kilometer makes
this Saturday at the Pre-National
Invitational at Indiana State
University.
• It was Krueger, after all, who
took the lead in the women's race
with about two-thirds of the race
still to be run.
But the distance at Pre-Nationals
the first six-ldlometer race of the
season proved to be one kilome
ter too far for Krueger, who has
grown accustomed the five-kilome
ter races so far.
She nonetheless held on to finish
ninth overall, beating 260 other
competitors and leading the
Georgia women to a 17th-place
team finish.
“I tried to hold on, but they were
just a little stronger than I was at
the end,” Krueger said. “That last
k[ilometer] was rough.”
Her individual accomplishments
this season including a second
place finish at a meet in Louisville,
Ky., two weeks ago have helped
to establish Krueger as one of the
premiere individual women’s cross
country runners in the Southeast
region.
Last year, Krueger was the only
Georgia woman to run in the nation
al championship race, receiving an
individual bid after her team failed
to qualify for the race.
While the online buzz surround
ing that honor might appeal to
other student-athletes in an often
underappreciated sport, Krueger
says she doesn’t pay much atten
tion to others’ opinions of her run
ning.
“I don’t really like to look a whole
lot at the Internet and that kind of
thing,” she said. “Personally,
[Louisville] just gave me some con
fidence that I know I’m ready to run
fast.”
With more than 70 men’s teams,
more than 80 women’s teams and
more than 1,000 runners, Pre-
Nationals was a significant event
before conference and regional
championships begin next month.
“When you put ten top-25 teams
together, I mean it’s ridiculous,"
head coach Jeff Pigg said. “The
quality and the intensity of the race,
the magnitude of that type of a
field, it’s real exciting.”
The top two teams from each of
the nine regional races receive auto
matic bids to the NCAA champion
ships. and 13 at-large bids fill out
the field for the championship. For
Georgia, Pre-Nationals was an
important opportunity to demon
strate their abilities, in hopes of
raising their stock for an at-large
bid.
“We definitely want to beat a
plethora of teams that are from the
South Region,” redshirt junior Brett
Richardson said. “If we can beat a
few of those teams that are ranked
right around us in our region ... it’ll
help a lot for momentum going into
SECs.”
With a 94th-place finish,
Richardson led the Bulldogs in his
“best race all year,” but he edged
senior Caleb Vogt by a mere two
hundredths of a second at the finish
line.

▲ Junior Kristie Krueger has her sights set on a national
championship in 2010 after finishing ninth at Pre-Nationals.
“Caleb was right there with me
basically the whole time. We worked
together,” Richardson said. “You
know that there’s always going to
be another teammate up there with
you.”
The Georgia men finished 25th
overall, missing an opportunity to
beat rival Florida. The Gators’fin
ished ninth and retained their No. 3
position in this week’s South Region
rankings, while the Bulldogs
remained at No. 4.
“We can get up there near Florida
and challenge them,” Richardson
said. “We can maybe even have like
a 20- or 30-second spread with our
top five.”
For Krueger and her teammates,
their bitter rivals posed less of a
problem as the Bulldogs were able
to edge out 19th-place Florida.
The victory led the Bulldog
women to leapfrog the Gators in
this week's rankings, securing the
No. 3 spot.
“We don’t want to get cocky or
overconfident because we know
they’re a good team,” Krueger said.
“One of our top goals is to beat

them.”
Pigg says that Krueger’s individ
ual success is one of the reasons the
team has been able to attain their
goals.
“They get to see one of the best,
and get to see what makes her the
best,” Pigg said. “It gives them con
fidence in their training.”
But even though there is no
doubt who is leading Georgia’s pack
of female cross country runners,
some uncertainty remains.
Krueger says she hasn’t yet
adjusted to her new role as a team
leader.
“It still hasn’t really set in that
I’m an upperclassman now,” she
said. “I can’t depend on the older
girls to follow around as much
because I am one now.”
And alongside her team last
weekend, Georgia’s team leader
continued her march toward a
return to the national champion
ship not just to make an appear
ance this time.
“Shoot, I wanna be in the top
one,” she said. “I don’t plan to go
get second.”
