And Downer is an angry, intense rock band that claims it was influenced by U2, Jane's Addiction and Fugazi, although they aren't as pop as U2 or Jane's Addiction. In between today's acts, there will be a swimsuit show. Rebelpalooza is staged by the local promoter PnJ Music for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Student Government. A bunch of corporate sponsors are helping pick up the tab, and student government types say they'll put any profits into the student government fund for 2002. Students and workers from the university's hotel, tourism and convention programs are helping organize the event on campus at 4505 S. Maryland Parkway.
Students get in free.
