Cal Poly's ASI Concert Committee has scored a coup in the booking of a rock superstar whose first name is that of a deceased rocker, and the last name of half of a famous American comedy act. Elvis Costello and the Attractions will appear in the main gym on Sunday (Jan. 11) at 8pm as part of their English Mugs Tour. Opening act will be their Old China's Squeeze.
The public over the age of 18 is invited, with tickets set at $6.50 in advance for students available only at the university union ticket desk, and a dollar more at the door. Public tickets are $8 in advance with a door price at $9.
Robert Hilburn, Los Angeles Times rock music critic, named two of Costello's 1980 albums to his top ten list for the year. Get Happy and Taking Liberties shared the number five spot on the list. Taking Liberties is a compilation disk of old and new unreleased singles by the British singer-songwriter.
