Eugene recording studio launches battle of the bands
T
haddeus Moore, owner and operator of Eugene’s long-running Sprout City Studios,
jokes that he hates battles of the bands.
Nevertheless, to celebrate Sprout City’s 20th year in business, Moore is launching a
battle of the bands series. Moore says he wants to give bands a real critique and not of-
fer just a popularity contest. “I want this to be a good thing for the musicians,” he says.
Sprout City, Moore says, is a fully functional production studio that usually works
seven days a week. “We thought it would be a cool thing to give back to the community
with shows that get together some of the best talent in town and give them good critiques
on their performance, where they’re at with their songwriting and how they present them-
selves as a band.”
Sprout City’s Battle of the Bands, which Moore plans to make an annual event, will
involve five preliminary all-ages shows held at Whirled Pies in downtown Eugene, with a
final event featuring winners from each show at WOW Hall at the end of May. Interested
bands can apply at sproutcity.com, and the winner will receive recording time, video pro-
duction services, media exposure and more.
Most important, Moore says, the winner will get real-world feedback from an audience
perspective on how their songs are coming across. They’ll learn prepping things like stage
plots and what booking agents expect from a professional band.
“Even if they don’t win,” Moore continues, “they’re still going to walk away with all
this experience.”
Sprout City’s Battle of the Band’s inaugural show is 7 pm Sunday, March 26, at Whirled Pies; $2-$5, all-ages. For more
information go to sproutcity.com.
‘TOP OF THE PILE’
FAB Performances presents Rolling Stones tribute at
Springfield’s Wildish Theater
F
or Lane County musician and educator Tony Rust, Rolling Stones’ record Sticky
Fingers is a “top of the pile” album. “It’s an album I grew up with,” he says. “Solid
songs all the way through.”
Rust leads a project called FAB Performances , also known as the Favorite Al-
bum Band. On March 25 at Springfield’s Wildish Theater, FAB will recreate Sticky
Fingers in what Rust calls a “focused setting, instead of a noisy club, where you’re there to
party rather than focus on the music.”
The classic record features well known Stones tunes like “Gimme Shelter,” “Wild Hors-
es” and many more.
The Rolling Stones concert will be FAB Performances’ second event. The first paid
homage to The Doors. Rust, who sings, says that while the shows are tributes of sorts,
don’t expect him to be “strutting around pretending to be Mick Jagger with a Mick Jagger
wig on.”
Other musicians performing include Gabe Dickenson on saxophone, Melissa Miller on
backing vocals and Jim Reinking on drums.
Covering his favorite album in settings like the Wildish is a dream come true for Rust,
and he has many more records in mind for future performances. “Some albums you go —
‘oh yeah, that album’ — it’s got like two songs on it and the rest of them are kinda OK,”
Rust says. For FAB Performances to select an album, the music must “really reverberate
for the band but carry through for listening to both sides,” he says.
Sticky Fingers, Rust says, is “really chock-full of amazing songs.”
FAB Performances presents The Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers (and Other Sticky Hits) 8 pm Saturday, March 25, at Wildish
Theater in downtown Springfield; $20, All-ages.
