The Perverts, formed in February 2003, have been slowly creep- ing into the bedrooms of Eugene's nightlife scene.

Not your garden variety, trenchcoat-wearing, dirty old Peeping Toms, these Perverts deliver a furious blend of punk and rock. Make sure to catch them Friday, May 14, and see what all the fuss is about. Check out Eugene Weekly’s clubs page and www.theperverts.org for more details. MAY 13, 2004 15
