1956: The Year Elvis Shook the World

wednesday 25

Mike Ficher, who you got to know in last week's edition of the Source is also the host of KPOV's Ultimate Oldies Show, and is giving a presentation on the early years of Elvis Presley's career. 6:30pm Wednesday, Jun 25. La Pine Public Library, 16425 1st St, La Pine.

Anastacia

wednesday 18

Formerly of the band Threes, Anastacia has a new project going and this free McMenamins performance is her first appearance in a while. Rumor has it that, along with her all-star band of local musicians, she'll be dishing out a brand new bag. 7pm, McMenamins Old St. Francis School, 700 NW Bond St. 382-5174.

Broken Soviet

friday 13

We don't know much about this act, other than that they've got a solid rock attack and have some high profile venues on their touring schedule. The band is actually from Portland, not mother Russia, as we mistakenly thought, and has a summer tour schedule comprised exclusively of stops at Hollywood's Whiskey A Go Go as well as Phoenix and Germany and that's it. That's a lot of traveling for three shows. 9:30pm. Long Shots Pub. 314 SE 3rd St.

First Friday Art Walk

friday 6

Supposedly, it's almost summer, which means it's a great time to wander the streets during the warm nights and what better reason to wander than for the art walk. There's a delight of different exhibits (and free wine, nudge nudge, wink wink, drink drink) to be found so get on out there! Downtown Bend.

Andre Nickatina

friday 6

California rap veteran Nickatina lights up the Midtown, once again, with his delightful pimp style. When this guy comes to town, a party is sure to follow. Openers include some local and regional talent along the lines of Cool Nutz, Cloaked Characters, Benzo and Mindscape. See Liner notes for the word on Nickatina's film production career. 8pm doors, 9pm show. $22/advance, $27/day of show. Midtown Music Hall. 51 NW Greenwood Ave.

The Confederats, Hands on Throat, No Cash Value

friday 30

We want the punk, gotta have that punk! If you go to one punk show this week, make it this one. PDX's Confederats finally make it back over and rock out like Ringo: with some help from their friends (HoT and No Cash Value). A good dose of punk might do you some good, so get in a slam dance and call us in the morning. 8pm. Players Bar & Grill, 25 SW Century Dr.
