LOCALS ONLY 2006
A few months back a reader wrote to tell us about taking a trip to New York City and finding three or four Eugene musicians and bands performing during the week he was there. And this was a surprise? Not to us. We hear the music of local musicians, interview and write about the bands, and list the shows in calendar every week. We know that Eugene is full of amazing musicians, some of whom are famous worldwide. The cool thing is that they choose to make Eugene their home base. But if you think about it, that's not a surprise either. This is a town of art and music lovers — people who go to local shows, buy the CDs and other merch., and who take the time to talk to the band members after the show, buy them a drink, and to tell them how much they rock. This is the second year we've published Locals Only, a tribute to our local musicians and a hats off to our amazing music scene. We've covered all the bases with this one, from world and jazz to metal and rock. But without you, we wouldn't have a music scene. So Locals Only is also a tribute to the Eugene community that makes it possible for that scene to survive and thrive. It's a tribute to you, because if you're reading this, you're probably a music fan. — Melissa Bearns, editor

contributors Melissa Bearns prefers scooping to rehashing, water to land, snow to summer, big water to creeking, espresso to drip and live shows to mp3s. Molly Templeton has held more positions at Eugene Weekly than any other employee in the history of the paper. When she's not sitting in a cold, air-conditioned room reviewing celluloid, she like to eat delicious food and drink grape juice gone bad. Dan Hoyt enjoys listening to loud music and explaining why you should too. He is also a ninja, which makes him the man now, dog. He has many leather bound books, and his apartment smells of rich mahogany Vanessa Salvia: Leaking secret agent identities to Donald Rumsfeld since 1971 Tim O'Rourke is a career intern who likes crostini but hates croutons. John Ginn is a freelance writer from Corvallis who has not yet given up his childhood dream of being a worthy adversary to Batman, complete with his own pack of minions. When not drinking beer, Jef Stout drinks coffee, dark and strong. Likewise, when he's not listening to music, he's writing about how much he hates music. When he grows up, he hopes to be known as "that curmudgeonly old poop next door." Adrienne van der Valk was a social worker in Eugene for seven years before returning to school for journalism and political science. She likes mixing metaphors and comparing apples and oranges. Cover Artist: Dan Depaolo only sleeps in his daydreams. He spends too much time in his sketch pad and turning out posters for D-Fault and Reeble Jar.
