University Dance Club presents fall show
The University Dance Club, an entirely student-run club of dance enthusiasts, is presenting its fall show Sunday at the Newcomb Ballroom. The club has explored music styles as eclectic as jazz, hip-hop, ballet and tap — students choose to take classes in their genre of choice. A choreographer is then selected, and each group has about eight weeks to perfect its routine before participating in this end-of-the-year show. Doors open at 1 p.m., and the show starts at 1:30 p.m.

Local bands unite for local cause
Tonight, in the Tuttle Lounge, three local bands will perform in exchange for canned goods. Organized by Phi Sigma Pi, Concert for Cans looks to benefit Charlottesville’s Emergency Food Bank. The Major Majors and Soiree open up for The Sometimes Favorites, the subtle but powerful Charlottesville “it” band — which just found one of its songs featured on the pilot for a local reality television show, Run for Your Life. Attendees are asked to bring a canned good donation before getting their groove on. Opening bands start at 7:30 p.m.

OutKast to release three albums in 2009...?
Big Boi, one half of the acclaimed OutKast duo, has long been planning his forthcoming solo album (titled Sir Luscious Left Foot... Son of Chio Dusty). However, it turns out that the album won’t be the only thing OutKast releases this year. As revealed in a recent MTV.com interview, Andre 3000 is also planning his own solo release, and a full-fledged OutKast record is slated to be released later in the year. Ever the dilettante, Big Boi is also scheduled to appear on the Nov. 25 episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
