Rock ’n’roll concerts sure to please audiences’ears Among the many rock festi vals and shows throughout the United States, many of the cream of the crop of rock ’n’ roll are visiting the area most com monly referred to as the West Coast. Get ready, tasty-tune-lovers, for this will be a damn good sum mer for music. The Reverend Horton Heat is at Jenni Schultz Managing editor the WOW Hall for the first time in a few years and his fun, “psychobilly” style of rock will be sure to thump in fans’ heads and hearts — that is, if Jimbo surfing his orchestral bass isn’t enough. The Reverend may not be a good looking guy, but his voice and attitude mixed with a few drinks will make anyone look at him as if he is a sex god. Previously, The Rev showed at the Wild Duck Brewery, so this is the first time in a few years for peo ple younger than age 21 to partake in the revival. The show is tonight at 8 p.m. at the beloved WOW Hall. Tickets are available at the UO Tick et Office and are $23 a pop, and no, there is no student discount. It may be worth it to walk 500 miles to The Proclaimers’ next two shows. One is in San Francisco at The Fillmore and the other is at Troubadour in Santa Monica. These Scotland-native twins are sure to put on a good show, even if they do have bad teeth. Tickets are $17.50 to $20 and are available from Ticketmaster. Ah, Billy, it’s a nice day for white hair. Yes, that’s right, the one and only Billy Idol will be gracing the McMeniman’s Crystal Ballroom on July 26. It doesn’t matter if he is starting to look his age, anyone who can move their upper lip that far up their face and pump a fist in the air while singing “Dancing With Myself’ is worth $29.50. Vis it www.ticketmaster.com for tick ets and more details. Courtesy Photo Rocker Billy Idol is scheduled to perform at the McMeniman’s Crystal Ballroom on July 26. A little bluesy, a little cutie and a little Elvisy. That’s what Chris Isaak is. He’ll be using his fluid vocals to charm even more fans Aug. 11 at the Keller Auditorium in Portland. Isaak’s first album, “Silvertone,” debuted in 1985 with the hit fol low-up album, “Heart Shaped World,” in 1989. Isaak’s lyrics and vocals are a smooth alternative to today’s mainstream pop/fake rock and will make a listener imagine lying in a hammock on a warm day with a glass of cool iced tea. Tick ets are available from Fastixx. The Oregon Festival of Ameri can Music is providing a lesson on Ira Gershwin from Aug. 1 to 10. The event will feature concerts and lectures during the entire 10 days. Each concert and lecture has a separate admission charge. The event will end with the Rhapsody in Blues Grand Finale at 7 p.m. Aug. 10. Tickets are $18.50 in ad vance and $22.50 at the time of the concert. To find out more or get tickets, visit www.ofam.org. Wake up, party people! The col lege-age version of the Grateful Dead — otherwise known as Dave Matthews Band — is going to be at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Wash., Sept. 6, 7 and 8. Tickets for each show are $41.25 to $53.55. This is definitely a show to attend, especially if you want to see a man go crazy with a violin bow. Get tickets from Ticketmaster. A warning: Some of the people at past outdoor DMB concerts have been, well, stupid. Be prepared to have a few ffat boys yelling mere centimeters away from your ear canal while their beer breath is wilting your eyebrows. It’s still worth it to fork up the cash, grab a tent and head up to Washington. One last suggestion: Lenny Kravitz and Pink may seem like an odd combination, but peanut but ter and bananas are good, and I’m sure people used to say, “Good Lord, peanut butter and bananas?” Someone once referred to Pink as a “fuschia Monica” but is that really bad? Both Kravitz and Pink should provide an energetic, not lip-synched show, which for two people who are kinda mainstream, is quite an accomplishment. The twosome will be at the Gorge Amphitheatre on Aug. 23. Tickets are $45.76 to $66.70. Tick ets available from Ticketmaster. Whether you’re seeing Billy Idol himself or Dave Matthews Band, your ears will thank you and say “ooh, ahh” — and isn’t that what summer concerts are all about?
