Stacked Like Pancakes

Stacked Like Pancakes is an American fourth-wave ska band from Towson, Maryland, a suburb of Baltimore, Maryland. The band was founded in 2007 by singer, song-writer, and instrumentalist Kellen McKay, who is the sole original member currently in the band. Other members include bass-trombonist Zach Foote, trumpeter Alec Leventis, guitarist Michael Busch, trombonist Andy Dawson, drummer Kevin Goren, and bassist Will Lopez.  They have two self-released albums including We're Not Insane (2011) and THIS IS US (2015).

What's up with the band's name, might you ask? Well, according to an interview of the band, When asked about the origin of the band name, McKay says "There is absolutely no meaning whatsoever. It was the result of 30 seconds of brainstorming upon the inception of the band, and we just stuck with it." The band actually cooks and flips pancakes on a skillet during their performances.

This semester, Stacked Like Pancakes came to visit Loyola, they gave a great performance and the audience loved them. They came for a Late Night Concert in McGuire that was pajama-themed, and featured a breakfast buffet. They also cooked pancakes which I was able to taste! They were quite delicious might I add. I of course had the pleasure of designing the poster for the event, which I had a lot of fun with. I used the color scheme orange, blue, and white, which is featured on the SLP logo. The band actually loved the poster and was cool enough to sign all of their names on them.
