Where can one go on Saturday for a

festival. Moolapalooza will
feture nine local bands and will run
from 12:30 - 9:30 p.m. Saturday
behind the Administration building
on the Tarleton campus. A
special outdoor stage will be
erected especially for the event,
said Jon Young, event coordinator.
"We want to provide a local stage
for up and coming local bands to
showcase their talent and to promote
unity in and among local bands and
artists of Stephenville," Young
said. "It will also provide an
exciting venue for the Youth of
Stephenville to see live music acts
without visiting a bar."
Moolapalooza is sponsored by
Catch 23 Entertainment, Tarleton

punk, metal and alternative rock,"
according to Young.
Glide has enjoyed success in the
Dallas area and has opened for
mainstream acts Bowling for Soup and
Alligator Dave.
"It's great to be back in the
saddle again - we hope that we can
leave a good impression on
Stephenville," Young said.
The last band of the evening will
be Affliction, "a unique combination
of the aggressiveness of industrial
rock with smooth melodies influenced
by artists such as U2 and The Cure,"
according to band members, Ryan
Lystad, Allen Pingleton and Adam

"Stephenville is long overdue for
an event like this," Young said.
