Hollywood Theater
4122 NE Sandy Blvd.

Seventeen years after his death, Bill Hicks has taken a permanent place in the cultural landscape and is widely recognized as one of the greatest American comedians of the modern era. Much more than just a comedian – he was described as a philosopher, social satirist, even preacher – his comedy challenged the injustices of life head on, but his uncompromising approach met with controversy and resistance in America, and it was instead on the international stage where he found fame.

This concert marks the Oregon Symphony debut of the great Canadian violinist James Ehnes, who’s been labeled, by Toronto’s Globe and Mail newspaper, “the Jascha Heifetz of our day.”

Ehnes will perform the best-known work of German composer Max Bruch, his melodic Violin Concerto. No. 1. The legendary 19th century violinist Joseph Joachim compared Bruch’s concerto to those of Beethoven, Brahms and Mendelssohn, describing Bruch’s as “the richest, most seductive” of the four.

Also on the program: English composer William Walton’s Partita for Orchestra, a work never before performed by the Oregon Symphony, as well as the second great Beethoven symphony performed by the orchestra in as many weeks, his Symphony No. 3, “Eroica.”

Our sponsors at Blitz Ladd (2239 SE 11th Ave, website) play every Blazers game. They have over 24 50″ HDTVs and a large projection screen + $2 Coors pints special during all Blazer games.

ROCKBOX is a dance party. Pure and Simple. The triumvirate of DJ KEZ (KBOO, THE FIX), Matt Nelkin (KPSU), and Dundiggy (THE FIX) play a masterfully blended mix of fun, dance oriented Hiphop, R&B, and Old School Electro with a dash of Bmore, Dancehall, 80s, and House thrown in for good measure.

As die-hard record collectors all three Dj’s play exclusively vinyl. Every set and every ROCKBOX dance party is a custom experience with these cats digging into their seemingly bottomless crates to pull out the beats that make you want to sweat out the work week. More than just another gig for these talented three, ROCKBOX dance party represents their long held vision of merging the classics alongside the progressive.

PRIZZ ANGEL + THE QUAD PYRAMID (Grand Cooley/Headlock)
When our friends over at Grand Cooley HQ dropped us a few tracks of…this secretive new project, we just had to include them on the FB roster. If you’ve spent any time around this crew, you know they don’t shy away from the spotlight, they’d rather MacGyver one from bike lights, tinfoil, and duct tape before rocking a basement party or random street corner to the bemusement of passers by. While we might not have the draw of an intersection on 82nd Ave. or an undisclosed house party in Felony Flats, we know Prizz and the Pyramid will bring Read the rest of this entry »
