For
years the British band Steel Pulse has cranked
out the hits. Coming to the Jungle, this Grammy Award-winning
outfit has stunned fans with songs like "Handsworth Revolution,"
"Rally 'Round" and "Taxi Driver." Though Pulse hails from
the UK, even the Caribbean island of Jamaica knows the
band as one of the heaviest hitters ever in the reggae
scene. See Thursday, Aug. 5 Calendar.
A
summer studio sale of ceramics by Faye Nakamura
takes place at 2695 University St. A popular event in
the visual arts community, Nakamura's one-day sale is
sure to draw a sizeable crowd, so go early for the best

people go just for her wonderful home-made cookies!
See Saturday Calendar.
Caliente,
one of Eugene's hottest Latin bands, plays a celebration concert

people and neighborhoods build assets through neighborhood revitalization,
business development and homeownership. See Sunday Calendar.
