HOLY COW'S AGATE HALL PARTY DRAWS BIG NAMES MAY 3rd!
Benefit For The Local Food Business Will Feature Some Of Eugene's
Biggest Bands


On Saturday May 3rd local organic foods business, Holy Cow Café and Catering, is throwing a ten-year anniversary bash for their campus café at Agate Hall. Several of Eugene's most popular bands have already agreed to do the benefit, including Medium Troy, The Conjugal Visitors, The Klezmonauts, Bindaas and 4Trees.


Proceeds from the party are going to subsidize the Holy Cow's recent legal bills, incurred while battling to keep their lease at the University of Oregon. The party will also include an Indian Cafe, a Café Mam espresso bar, Ruby's Real Root Beer & Floats, youthful breakdancers, and a silent auction featuring items or gift certificates from some of the most creative and forward thinking businesses in Eugene.


The music goes from 6 pm and features an eclectic line-up of some
Eugene's most popular artists, including the "Originators of Bohemian Dub" Medium Troy, who were recently awarded Eugene's "Favorite Local Band" in the Wow Hall awards. The line-up also includes local bluegrass heroes The Conjugal Visitors, who were awarded Eugene's "2nd Favorite Local Band." As well as Klezmer music from The Klezmonauts, Indian music from Bindaas, Sophisticated Piano & voice numbers by Ben & Darcy and
rounding out the evening with the conscious live Hip-Hop band 4Trees.


"We are really happy too be able help out a local business that has always been good to us and the community," explains Medium Troy's notorious DJ known to fans as "The Muffin Man." adding "The Holy Cow Café is the first 100% organic campus café in the world, we aren't prepared to stand by while the powers that be tried to replace it."


The party is at Agate Hall and starts at 6 pm, kicking off with the Klezmonauts.

Music will go until 12 PM.
