Sleepy Feet, a five-person indie folk band from Claremont, Calif., performed on the Quad Monday afternoon as part of the Quad Show series hosted by Entertainment Council.

The drum-backed band played for a crowd of about 50, who lounged in the sun despite encouragement from band members to dance.

“They’re dancing in their heads,” said banjo mechanic Will Harris.

Despite their chill exterior, students said they enjoyed the music.

“It’s cool to walk out of class and hear music. I was surprised,” said senior sociology major Claire Ackland, while reclining on the grass. “I feel bad that people aren’t clapping. I think they’re really good.”
