WOW Halloween featuring Bowl Peace, Grrlband, Common Koi, Moonbear, and Housekeeping

On Saturday, Oct. 26th the Community Center for the Performing Arts proudly welcomes Bowl Peace, Grrlband, Common Koi, Moonbear, and Housekeeping to the WOW Hall for WOWHalloween.

Bowl Peace

Meet Bowl Peace, Eugene Oregon’s own lovable misfits who’ve turned indie rock into a kaleidoscope of catchy riffs and good times. Formed in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, this crew is known for their eclectic sound, offbeat humor and undeniable camaraderie.

The band consists of four best friends; Elizabeth Bailey (Drums), Elise Benton (Vocals), Holden Hunt (Guitar), and Owen Akiyama (Bass), whose hobbies include writing hit singles like “Coconaut” and recording quality EPs like their recent “Smoking in Bed.”

Bowl Peace’s tunes blend indie dream pop and garage rock sounds with a generous sprinkling of goofiness and good times; a testament to their unbreakable bond and laid-back lifestyle. With a shared love for each other and their craft, Bowl Peace proves that when it comes to making music and living life, a little bit of fun goes a long way.
