Sisters, a two-piece band from Brooklyn, N.Y., isn't exactly a full rock group, but somehow it manages to pull off a full sound that exemplifies noisy garage rock. The band consists of Aaron Pfannebecker (vocals, guitars) and Matt Conboy (drums, keyboards). When they make the trek across the state to play tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. for Spring Weekend, be sure to check them out. Pfannebecker answered some of our questions below.

Wolfgang Natter has lived a multi-cultural life. He was born in Speyer, Germany, one of the country's oldest cities, located along the Rhine River. The small city of Morris, Conn., acted as a second home. He will soon have another home at St. Bonaventure as the new dean of arts and sciences.
