BRIEFLY
Ian Moore & The
Lossy Coils sparks
park series
PENDLETON — Hot
August nights will be even
hotter as Ian Moore & The
Lossy Coils perform during the
upcoming Wednesdays in the
Park.
The free event is Wednesday,
Aug. 9 from 6-8 p.m. at Roy
Raley Park, 1205 S.W. Court
Ave., Pendleton. Food, beer
and wine will be available for
purchase.
Moore entered the Austin
music scene in the early
’90s and later plummeted
into depression. He surfaced
every few years and delivered
musical explorations before
disappearing into obscurity
again.
And then he met Matt Harris
at a crimping seminar in 2002.
Harris, too, had experienced
some of life’s woes after
developing a love for fast music
and fast living.
After placing second in the
dual crimp-off category, the pair
bonded and ended up playing
and performing together. They
formed The Lossy Coils in
2005.
Straddling genres, the band
provides a soulful, bluesy rock
sound, mixed with psychedelic
power pop.
Presented by Pendleton
Parks & Recreation and
Sounds Like Entertainment,
the all-ages concert series runs
each Wednesday through Aug.
16. For more information,
call 541-276-8100 or search
Facebook for “Wednesdays in
the Park.”
