Eve 6 concert cancelled
Three local bands will still perform tonight at CatFest
ASUA and UAB officials announced last night that Eve 6, the nationally recognized rock band scheduled to perform tonight at Centennial Hall, has cancelled its UA performance as a result of illness.
Max Collins, the band's lead singer, sent a fax to the Associated Students of the University of Arizona office stating that his case of severe laryngitis had forced the band to cancel Thursday's show in Sacramento, Calif. in addition to tonight's show at Centennial.
