Medford/Somerville,
Mass. – Donning
lab coats and safety glasses, Tufts alums Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller
and Brian Rosenworcel, aka Guster, add a health dose of excitement
to a University chemistry lab. The trio has a lot to be excited
about. Their newest CD is finished, their popularity continues to
grow steadily and they are about to be the cover story for the October
edition of Sam Goody’s Request Magazine.
Request’s
Jonathan Perry tells the story of three college freshmen who met
in 1991 during Tufts’ Orientation Week and began a music group with
an exciting past and a limitless future. Since forming Guster, the
bandmates have played for Conan O’Brien, the crowds of Woodstock
’99 and countless thousands of young fans around the country.
Describing
the band’s return to their alma mater for the interview, Perry writes,
“Even at high noon on a sweltering summer afternoon, Tufts University
feels bucolic, a tranquil college located just outside of Boston.
Gently sloping lawns and shade trees dot a campus of old-world brick
buildings and winding paths. At the moment, the members of the Boston-based,
bass-less trio Guster are goofing around on one of those walkways
in the midst of a photo shoot at their alma mater, hamming it up
for the camera. They’ve got their arms draped around each other,
and they chatter animatedly about a lecture they’re pretending they
just attended. This is Guster at play, with a cheesy, TV-commercial
silliness that’s almost self-mocking.”
