Indie Act Melody’s Echo Chamber Gives Dreamy Performance At Williamsburg Venue

  Melody’s Echo Chamber is a project of French indie musician Melody Prochet. She has so far released a single self-titled album in 2012 and is working on another one to tentatively be released before the end of the year. The style of music she performs is closest to dream pop, which is characterized by dense, often guitar-driven background music and ethereal, almost whispery vocals. She sings in both English and French, and typically will stick to one language throughout a song. The memb...

Students Speak Out at Tuition Hearing

In a last minute notice sent the day before, the University notified students about the date and time of the 2015-2016 Tuition Hearing.

Save Money Dining at MSU

The end of November and beginning of December are crunch time; professors are assigning term papers, pairing you up for final projects and announcing the last tests and quizzes before final exams. Just as we are reaching our semester breaking points, so are our bank accounts and our once fat stashes of Flex and Red Hawk Dollars. We’re out of time and money and for those vegetarians on campus, finding something quick and cheap to eat can be especially hard. But fear not, hungry and broke herbiv...

Our Final Goodbyes to The Montclarion

  For those of you who don’t know me, I’ve been working with The Montclarion all four years of college, starting out as a News Writer and working my way up the ranks from News Editor to Managing Editor and finally ending my college career as Editor-in-Chief. For the past four years, every one of my Wednesdays have been full of pulling out my hair, staring at a computer screen and calling/emailing people while I try and meet my deadlines. However, it’s also been full of late-night laug...

Pure Enthusiasm: ‘Hair’ Rocks Memorial Auditorium

Sex, drugs and rock’n’roll: these are some of the things that viewers found in the Department of Theater and Dance’s production of Hair, which ran for the first weekend of May in Memorial Auditorium.

I have to admit that the rumor of live nudity was one of the things that attracted me to the show, but after I watched the producti...

Keeping an MSU Legacy Alive

Every year, one special athlete on the Montclair State men’s lacrosse team is voted to wear the #24 jersey. The tradition to pass down this jersey number is an honor, as it serves to remember the legacy of one of Montclair State’s most beloved coaches. In 2010, local Clifton resident and former Red Hawk John Greco coached the Montclair State Lacrosse team to the most successful season the program had seen in its 38 years. He led the team to a 15-4 record, received national ranking in the Uni...
