The Cowsills will be in concert at Prather Coliseum, Wednesday, June 28, at 8 p.m. The rock group is being sponsored by the Student Union Governing Board. The group made their debut in the music scene in 1967 with the single, "The Rain in the Park. Other Things." and were the first of the current run of family groups.
In those five years the Cowsills have dropped their mother and sister from the group and are now leaning toward hard rock. Brothers Bill, Bob, Barry and John currently make up the group. This four-piece band has grown up and so has thier music. Bill played the guitar on Ike and Tina Turner's single, "Right On."
The Cowsills are trying to build up a new image of a serious rock band and to shed their "Grade A" label they were given while commercializing for the American Dairy Association.
David Morgan, vice-president of entertainment on the Student Union Governing Board, commented that the Cowsills would be the only group appearing here this summer as fwe band tour during the summer. Many bands concern themselves with recording during the summer.
