Born
from the ashes of the alt-rock power trio Tripping
Daisy, Dallas, Texas-based The Polyphonic Spree
(pictured) has multiplied their members and their
fanbase through key TV and film appearances and endless
touring (where their "choral symphonic rock" performances
really catch fire). The Spree has led a resurgence
in choral rock (à la Electric Light Orchestra)
but, more importantly, continues to champion the notion
that music can be both politically-inspired and damn
near uplifting. Post-punk poppers Rooney and
Beatles-inspired The Redwalls open the show
at the McDonald Theatre. See Saturday Calendar.
Cinema
is resurrected from the dead at
the Bijou this weekend. Well,
sorta. But when there's a live performance
in conjunction with a usually static
film projection, "life" is generally
the word we use. The fun starts
on Friday with Murnau's Nosferatu
screened with an original score
performed by the mini-orchestra
Mood Area 52. On Saturday,
Seattle experimental filmmaker and
musician Eric Ostrowski projects
his hand-crafted, trippy 35mm short
film, Magnificent Forest,
and performs his own cat-scratch
soundtrack (intoxification not required,
but recommended). Sunday night sees
the screening of the 1991 gothic
cult classic Begotten,
with original music by Don Haugen
and Patrick Neve. Throughout
this entire shebang will be three
nightly renditions of The
Rocky Horror Picture Show
(pictured) with UO student group
Forbidden Fruit (you know
the drill; bring your props and
dress your Dammit Janet! best).
See Calendar.
A
late October resurgence in warm,
clear weather welcomes this month's
Last Friday ArtWalk. We recommend
using our Best of Eugene readers'
poll results to plan your evening;
perhaps start off with a hearty
meal at Papa's Soul Food Kitchen
(Best BBQ) or a brew at Sam Bond's
(Best Bar) before heading off to
the Wandering Goat Coffee Roasters
(Best Coffee, Best Stop on the Last
Friday ArtWalk; runner-up for Best
Barista) for a free espresso shot
and to check out abstract paintings
by Sidney Rowe (pictured). Then
jettison off to the House of Willis
and G Spot on 3rd Street (shared
carport, thus sharing 2nd place
for best Last Friday hot spot) for
a Halloween art party. Thus, your
evening ends at the always eccentric,
eclectic Feinstein's Museum of Unfine
Art (3rd place), which has a split-month
show of numerous artists' work.
A host of other stops on or near
the art walk zone (such as Kiki
Metzler and Infinity Mercantile)
also placed in our readers' poll,
so check 'em out! See Friday Calendar.
