Portland band uses cello
to form funk-folk melody
■Annavoxis scheduled
to perform at Cozmic Pizza
in downtown Eugene on Friday
By Jen West
Oregon Daily Emerald
The Pacific Northwest has pro
duced many folk bands.
But not many that feature a
cello.
A year and a half ago, three Port
land musicians combined the
sounds of classical cello, tradition
al acoustic guitar and modem elec
tric guitar to form Annavox.
Annavox will make its first ex
cursion outside of Portland on Fri
day to appear at Eugene’s Cozmic
Pizza. They will perform from 8 to
10:30 p.m. with local indie rock
band Abandon Ship and funk
band Champagne Syndicate open
ing. Tickets are $3 at the door.
Annavox is a trio comprised of
cellist/vocalist Anna Fritz,
acoustic guitarist/vocalist David
Gerritsen and electric guitarist/vo
calist David Waingarten.
“I’ve dreamed since I was a kid
of fronting a band with a cello,”
said Fritz, who began her classical
training on the cello when she was
6 years old.
“The cello is a gorgeous, rich,
versatile instrument,” she said.
The trio met two years ago
through their involvement in the
Portland poetry scene. Gerritsen
said he was looking for something
new and different, and Fritz said
she was interested in bridging the
gap between the between the con
straints of classical music with
more fluid rules of folk music.
“They helped me break out of
my classical chains,” Fritz said.
The group started playing to
gether in coffee houses, pubs and
medium-sized clubs around Port
land, such as the Medicine Hat
Gallery and Ash Street Saloon.
The trio tries to create a very “in
timate feeling” with vocal har
monies, Fritz said.
Although their music is heavily
influenced by folk, Gerritsen said
the trio’s wide spectrum of tastes
has often brought other more sub
tle influences to their music. He
said he enjoys listening to pop and
hip-hop, and on some level that
must influence his songwriting.
“When it finally comes out the
funnel, it sounds like folk-classical
with a candy pop coating,” he said.
Nathan Lester, who produced
their album, “All Day Breathing,”
admitted it took him a while to
warm up to the new sound.
“Anna is doing something that
fills the place of the bass line,”
he said. “She’s doing something
her own.”
Lester said he was amazed when
the trio went into the studio to
make the album. He said they only
had to record one or two takes to
lay down a track, instead of the
usual three to four.
Lester said Annavox is unlike
any other folk band he has heard.
“It’s not the typical bass, drums,
guitar,” he said. “It’s got complexi
ty and subtlety.”

News brief
New senators make
transition, transfer funds
Out with the old and in with the
new — student senators said their
farewells Wednesday and the new
ly-elected 2002-03 legislative body
took charge and ran the ASUO
Student Senate meeting.
During the meeting, the Senate
voted unanimously to move $560
from the Black Student Union’s
Black Arts Festival account to its
food holding account for an up
coming barbecue that will be
held at Oregon State University.
The Senate also transferred $500
from BSU’s Black History Month
food account to its spring gradu
ation account.
“This year, we have opened up
our graduation ceremony to all stu
dents and not just BSU students,”
BSU Co-Director Haben Woldu
said. “We are expecting a larger
number of people this year.”
In addition, the Senate trans
ferred $800 from the BSU’s Black
Arts Festival account to its spring
graduation account to help pay for
a keynote speaker and a pianist.
The Senate transferred a total of
$2,996 from various accounts
within the Native American Stu
dent Union’s budget to help pay
for the group’s Spring Pow Wow,
which was held earlier this term.
“I think that NASU does a great
job, and they work hard to put on
successful events,” Sen. Do
minique Beaumonte said. “They’re
a cute group.”
The Senate voted unanimously
to move $6,000 from Spencer
View Family Co-op Center’s stu
dent employee account into its
work-study account because the
group had more student employ
ees than work study students this
academic year.
Returning Sen. Kathryn
Kranzush was nominated for this
summer’s senate president, and
newly-elected Sen. Levi Strom and
returning Sen. Beaumonte were
nominated for the vice president
position. The positions will be vot
ed on in the next meeting, which
will be held June 5.
Sen. Rebecca Cambreleng re
signed from her senate position at
the conclusion of the meeting.

elected student senators, go to
