Celebrate the Fourth of July
in explosive fashion as Seattle's
Hammorbox blasts WOW Hall
along with Eugene'* Dose and
special guests. "The originality
of their sound and versatility of
stylos distinguished them from
so many other bands." writes
Backlash Magazine, "they play
with a tight, aggressive edge,
precise and coordinated, but
hard hitting, like a well
planned assault."
Centerpiece to that sound are
the awesomely powerful vocals
of Carrie Akn\ who "somehow
manages extreme anger, sad
ness and melodrama all at
once, simultaneously shrieking,
crying, and crooning “ Eugene
based musician Harris Thur
mond. formerly of The Dad
dies, plays a wild guitar and
James Atkins bass carries the
mu in melody while Dave
Bironbaum pounds out
psychodrlven rhythms on the
drums.
The Hull Center in Eugene is
also offering some free events,
such as tho events for the Bach
Festival, which winds up Fri
day. On that day. a free main
concert will be held in the Hull
Center Lobby, as well us a 7
p.m. free Introduction to Messa
For Rossini, which will bo per
formed in its entirety at an H
p.m. show
