Stand out perform ances for the night will com e from Kid Q uiz and Portland favorite, M adgesdiq. Kid Quiz consists of two girls from Corvallis who play spooky and ethe real electrónica with beautifully haunting pianos and w hispering voices. They create an underwater fantasy world by weaving soft, sway ing beats and synthesized bleeps around strung out guitar licks and dark, sweet lyrics. Kid Q uiz’s tunes could be the soundtrack for a space aged Cinderella as she runs home from the ball, tattered dress and glass slipper in hand, fading pianos in the distance and beating heart in her chest. M adgesdiq mixes spiced lyrics that create a social commentary about hip-hop’s ills with TV images, aca demic principles and life observa tions into entertaining songs deliv ered with his distinctive monotone. Like the prophets o f the Old Testa ment, M adgesdiq said he com es as an MC to remind his peers and heads what hip-hop truly is. N octurnal has a com plete juice bar upstairs and a w ine and beer lounge dow nstairs for those o f age. The m ost starts at 8:30 p.m. For more information, call 503-239-5900. it CANNON'S RIB EXPRESS ( FORMERLY CHUCK HINTON'S ) C a t e r in g & T a k e -O u t O ur S pecialty : R eal H ickory S moked B ar -B-Q • Sandw iches • Salads • Chicken • Pork Rihs • Beef Rihs Open llam -lO p m M onday through Saturday and I pm to 8 pm Sunday CATERING EVENTS LARGE ANDSMALL NOW TAKING H O LID A Y DESSERT ORDERS Fish S a n d w ic h - $8°° Fish D in n e r - $ 1 0 °° Standing in the Shadows of Motown FRIDAY & SATURDAY * * * N ew L ocation * * * They recorded m ore no. 1 hits than the Beatles, Elvis Presley, the Rolling stones, Frank Sinatra and the B each boys com bined.
