Nathaniel Motte of 3OH!3 said in an email prior to the homecoming concert that he likes to create more of a party atmosphere at a concert rather than just performing — the audience at Sunday night’s homecoming concert said it was exactly that.

3OH!3 and Cobra Starship performed at the Stroh Center for the homecoming concert last night, sponsored by the University Activities Organization.

Senior Nick Daverio said 3OH!3 started off the show creating a party atmosphere just by doing as much as possible to get the crowd going.

“It was really good,” Daverio said. “They put on a good show.”

Junior Sarah Payne said she was excited to see 3OH!3 because she knew more of their songs.

“I was obsessed with them a couple of summers ago,” Payne said. “It was good, fun and high energy.”

The duo kept the audience involved throughout their performance by getting them to make the 3OH!3 sign with their hands, singing and jumping.

“They kept telling us to dance and they kept it unique to Bowling Green, so it really made the concert fun,” Payne said.

Freddie and Frieda Falcon joined 3OH!3 on stage early in the concert and the crowd on the floor pushed their seats to the side to get closer to the stage. Sean Foreman of 3OH!3 also came into the crowd and sang to a few audience members.

“I loved it. It was so much fun,” freshman Elizabeth Mitchell said. “They played all the songs I wanted and some I never heard of before.”

3OH!3’s stage also had two mountain lions with green lasers shooting out of their eyes on either side.

Cobra Starship did not keep the mountain lions, but performed second and kept the high-energy going.

Nicole Busdeker, a senior at Woodmore High School in Elmore, Ohio, said she came to see 3OH!3, but thought Cobra Starship was phenomenal.

“I thought I only knew two of Cobra Starship’s songs, but it turned out I knew a lot more. And the lead singer was really hot,” Busdeker said.

Gabe Saporta, lead singer of Cobra Starship, said the show was awesome and he had fun in Bowling Green throughout the day Sunday as well.

“We got to go to the rec center today, which was cool,” Saporta said.

Cobra Starship opened with “Good Girls Go Bad” and the audience started dancing right away.

“Lots of jumping around and screaming. It was a great concert,” Busdeker said.

Payne had attended the Kid Cudi concert during the homecoming of 2010, but she said this year’s concert was better.

“This one is more partying, fun, dance music,” Payne said.

Busdeker said she had seen 3OH!3 at Warped Tour, but she thought the atmosphere was better at the Stroh.

“The whole concert was high energy, it was great,” Busdeker said.
