By Evelyn Jacob News Reporter “The idea of the festival is to cross over musical boundaries and give opportunities to people to appreciate different sounds,"’ says Irwin Oostindie, who is organizing the Aug. 9 event in Cates Park. ‘For example if you are a hard-core (rock) music fan and you hear a band like, say, Video Barbeque, you can learn to appre- ciate jazz. And if you're 2 jazz fan you can learn to appreciate native music, and so on.’” Whatever your persuasion, there will be something to satisfy all musical tastes at this year’s Under the Volcano Festival. The 1992 line-up includes Roots Roundup, gle and Stiil Life. The festival, which kicks off at 11 a.m. in a 55-acre forest, has grown considerably in two years. The first year, six bands drew 300 people to Cates Park. More than 1,000 turned out the very next year to hear nine bands, and Oostindie is expecting between 2,000-3,000 music lovers to dance to the music of 13 bands this year. The event is being billed as ‘‘the West Coast Political Music and Arts Event." As well as music, there will be 2 varicty of video in- staliations on display, a carnival, booths, vendors selling native jewelry, and political speakers from the Lil’Wat nation, Philip- pine National Democratic Front, the Temperate Rainforest Action Coalition and Roots of Resistance.
