CHRISTMAS PREVIEW
WAR (Redding)
(Chico)
NOVEMBER 2 | 7:30 CASCADE THEATRE
Distinctly Southern Californian, WAR’s multi-ethnic lineup served as a cross section of the Los Angeles area and spoke to an audience poorly represented in popular music. The band’s horn-spiked Chicano anthems Low-Rider and Cisco Kid became big hits along with Slippin’ Into Darkness, The World is a Ghetto and the group’s signature song Why Can’t We Be Friends?
