Floater celebrates new CD
■ King Black Acid is set
to open Friday’s CD release
party at the McDonald Theatre
By Alix Kerl
Oregon Daily Emerald
Floater played its very first show
at the WOW Hall and has filled the
venue for three sold-out shows in a
row. They are moving to the larger
McDonald Theatre at 9:00 p.m. Fri
day, May 31, for a release party for
their new album, “After.” King Black
Acid will open. The album won’t be
available in stores until June 4.
Floater started playing in Eu
gene in 1993 at garage parties and
the old University beer garden
and has graduated to the college
touring circuit. The group is
Robert Wynia (lead vocals, bass),
Peter Cornett (drums) and Dave
Amador (guitar).
With what critics call com
pelling lyrics and adept story
telling, their music shifts in mood
from the insistent and heavy to the
melodic and soulful, comprising
the signature sound for which
Floater is best known. Floater has
released four studio albums and
one live album. Recently, the band
has been exploring its acoustic
side, and occasionally acoustic
Floater opens for electric Floater.
King Black Acid plays original
psychedelic music composed by
singer/guitarist Daniel Riddle. Rid
dle formed the band in 1994, and
the current line-up includes Sarah
Mayfield (guitar, vocals), Sean Far
rel (vocals), Rich Landar (key
boards, vocals), Sean Techenor
(bass) and Joe Trump (drums). King
Black Acid released their fifth al
bum, “The Mothman Prophesies,”
this year. The album is the sound
track for the movie of the same
name staring Richard Gere and also
contains songs from the band Low.
The film’s dark atmospheric tone
brings out a new side of King Black
Acid. The album features highly
textured keyboards, sparse guitar
melodies and more vocal layering
than previous albums.
Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at
the door and are available at
Fastixx and WOW Hall.

customers. And Laurel Rose, man
ager of Ipnosi, a clothing store with
multiple Oregon locations, said
comfortable clothing is a key fash
ion factor for both men and women
in the northwest.
Women’s trends
“We’ve gone back to romantic
ruffles and flowery skirts,” Kolego
said of current women’s fashion.
“It’s an updated prairie influence.”
Rose said this year’s “spring
style represents soft Bohemian
construction with a clean con
temporary edge.”
She added that there is a focus
for female shoppers on light weight,
brightly colored fabrics with top
stitching, lacing and embroidered
details. She said bold belting and
romantic sleeve treatments are
complemented by light-colored
footwear with straps, as well as
leather and turquoise accessories.
Rose added that while both the
Eugene and Portland Ipnosi
stores carry the same merchan
dise, the more urban population
in Portland is faster to accept the
latest fashions.
Senior Anya Bjornskov from
Lake Oswego agrees. She considers
herself a follower of trends and an
avid shopper. She said she has def
initely observed a campus popula
tion that is “totally in style.” How
ever, Bjornskov said the Eugene
population doesn’t need to sport
“the city look” of sophistication
and glamour.
“People dress up to go out to
clubs in Portland far more than
they do in Eugene,” she said.
“People dress up to go

Bjornskov said there’s a notice
able difference between real vin
tage clothing and the newer, fash
ionable peasant wear.
“You can definitely tell the dif
ference between the two,” she
said, describing the latest look as
sexier and tight-fitting with lace
“strategically placed around the
breasts” on female attire.
As Bjornskov flipped through
the latest J. Crew catalog, she
pointed to denim jeans with a lace
up fly, capri pants, linen fabrics,
pockets in the front of pants and
elaborate stitching on the front and
sides of clothing as just a few ex
amples of spring urban style.
Bjornskov said salmon, pink,

the colors popping up on the
mannequins in the malls. She
said that, because she works in a
mall, she goes shopping at least
two times a week and loves cata
log browsing, too.
Local scene
Whether college students are
wearing what’s in style or what’s in
their grandparents’ attic, Rose said
today’s comfortable fashion ele
ments are a modern interpretation
of the past.
“We’re always reinventing what
we’ve seen before,” she said.
Thomas said what’s in style this
spring is “fortunate for Eugene.”
She described the look as gauzy,
peasant, hippie and natural, which
fits into the local dress patterns al
ready. She said this season’s colors
are natural, coral and red.
Local store owners said the peas
ant-style fashions they’re selling are
catered to a younger crowd — from
pre-teens to people in their 30s.
Kolego said the 1960s and ’70s are
still popular in Eugene, with low
rise pants and a mix of bold and
pastel colors.
In addition to clothing, jewelry
also changes with the season. Shell,
bamboo, beads, pendants and stone
accessories are all selling, Thomas
said, adding that this means she is
constantly reordering.
