Once upon a time, colleges were where you went to find exciting new music, each campus complete with its own mini scene. UCSD’s student venue The Loft is bringing some of that energy back with exciting new bookings, open to the public. On Oct. 15, the Loft will feature 11-piece Portland-based indie rockers Typhoon. Currently touring behind its new album “White Lighter,” which debuted at No. 2 on the Top New Artists Chart, the band’s profile, as well as its following, is building. Typhoon has a unique sound that takes in quirky pop, orchestral backing, horns and rock dynamics for music that’s an intriguing listen and catchy as heck. Best of all is its atmospheric material like “Hunger and Thirst,” which beautifully showcases the band’s arrangements, bordering on abstract sound paintings, without giving up its winning sense of melody.
Typhoon: Oct. 15 at The Loft, UCSD campus. 8 p.m. www.artpwr.com
