around for only about a year, it
has a seven-song EP and is plan
ning to release a full-length album
in early 2003. Donbravado is just
one of Columbia’s new acts to
emerge in the middle of a thriving
scene.
“Columbia’s scene is growing
at a really strong rate,” said
Matney, who graduated from
USC’s media arts program in May.
The Kerouacs, a band made up
of only USC students, will also
perform tomorrow night. It in
cludes second-year journalism
student Pat Wall on guitar and vo
cals, third-year political science
student Jeff Crews on guitar,
third-year business student Rob
Upfield on drums and third-year
English student Jen Autrey on
bass.
Autrey will not be able to per
form at the show, but Crews said
the Kerouacs have planned an in
teresting replacement: Victor
from Vlad, a Columbia band that
describes itself as “black metal
from Austria.”
Crews said this won’t affect the
Kerouacs’ sound.
For those who want to tap into
Columbia’s diverse and growing
music scene, this release party is
the perfect opportunity. Also,
WUSC is considering distributing
the release at Manifest so that any
one who misses the show won’t also
miss out on WUSC’s first compila
tion of local acts. The show will
start at 9 p.m. and will cost $7. Free
copies of the compilation will be
given out at the door.

ARIES You’re in the mood to go
full speed ahead, and you’ll
most likely be successful. But
don’t overlook the practical
side. Work harder, and keep
your costs down.
TAURUS Don’t let a difference
of opinion get in the way of a
good thing. Opinions are
transitory. What you’re
building is much more
important and will last.
GEMINI Your life just got
more interesting and a little
more complex. Pay more
attention to the little stuff in
order to avoid embarrassing
accidents.
CANCER A look through your
recipe drawer could uncover
forgotten favorites. Sort and
file, and you might find
something that spurs you to
take action.
HOROSCOPES
LEO It may seem like there is
enough money, but you still
ought to spend it quite wisely.
Think ahead before taking
action. Spontaneity is too
expensive now.
VIRGO Others are having
difficulty getting organized.
This is a gold mine for you.
Tell them you’ll be glad to help
them set priorities—for a
price.
LIBRA Complications arise as
you discover an overlooked
obligation. Haven’t found it
yet? Better check your lists,
and your calendar. It’s always
best to find it before you’re
reminded.
SCORPIO You’ve heard the
rumors. Now find the facts. It’ll
be easier than you think. A
friend in the know will be glad
to help.
SAGITTARIUS You don’t have
all the answers yet, but don’t
let it bother you. Continue to
ask the tough questions and
dig behind the scenes. You’ll
discover a new and very
fruitful area of inquiry.
CAPRICORN Other people may
be doing without, but you have
more than enough to keep you
busy. Do it all just long enough
to learn to do it well. Then,
delegate.
AQUARIUS Don’t argue with a
person who can help you win.
Figure out a compromise, even
if it means stifling your true
feelings for a while.
PISCES Ask a well-organized
friend to help you set'
priorities. Once you know
what’s important and what’s
not, your stack of stuff
becomes less intimidating.
