UI Acapella group Other Guys 45th Anniversary Show in photos

The Other Guys is a men’s acapella group at UIUC. By making their website a .org they try and fool you into thinking they are a classy organization. But when you go see them sing you find out they’re a bunch of dudes who sing and joke about getting to wasted and one of their members “junk.” A seemingly perfect recipe for duchebaggery. As soon as you think you’ve got them figured out they throw another curve ball–they put on a kick ass show. They sing, they dance, they make dirty jokes, and people love it. Not to mention, this show featured old, literally elderly men, Other Guys making dirty jokes and singing like fucking angels. It was great. There was even some women’s lingerie thrown on the stage and an impromptu run to Kam’s during the performance break. Bravo OG’s, bravo.
