And in addition to that milestone, they recent ly were chosen to have their first album, Wake Up at the Albini Tavern, released by new label Pool or Pond as their first venrure into the indie world. Making up this four piece are Zach, on guitar and vocals, and his cousin Lucas, the one underage member of the band, banging away behind his kit, JT rounds out the guitar do and Matt solidifies everything manned with his bass guitar. These guy's won't try to to claim that they' re breaking, or pushing musical boundaries: They're plenty happy playing relatively simple, but pleasing punk songs. But, I feel it should be noted the shear wonder of the scratchiest vocals you' 11 hear in town. Trashily blissful! The Megabrats aren't a band that's caught up in image or antics. You won't see these guys executing theatrical moves or posing like runway models while they're onstage. I)ley come to play and they play hard-no bulshit ego-tripping with this band. Being that most of the band's time has been spent jamming in basements with no one around, they convey a rare (and almost un-punk) modesty that makes tl,lem more accessible to the average ·audience. If you missed these noteworthy boys at the Up & Up, look for future shows at some or all of the all-ages venues in town.

Every track for each song was laid down by Morris, so each song was stated by the same person in a number of different ways. This fact comes through strongly in the purity of each song on this record. Each song revolves around one direct musical idea, and Morris uses an impressive variety of instrumentation and studio techniques to present each idea in a developed and thought-out fashion. Part of the original idea for this record was to arrange music which could be used as background for visual media such as film or television. In this visual context, the music is very strong. Each song contains its own sort of sonic imagery, but remains simplistic enough to accommodate and enhance a wide range of visual presentations. A soundtrack of sorts could be a good way to describe this record. This record was also intended to contain music which could be used as transitions and bits for expressive editing in radio. The music makes much sense in this context as well. The music communicates quickly and directly- quite an accomplishment which deserves recognition. As a listening experience, 10 instrumentals delivers a range of creative recording and mixing techniques. Morris uses a great blend of rootsy, bluesy instruments and achieves great tones with each one. The mix is bold, and the music spreads out and reaches far, allowing plenty of room for a variety of

The exact details of the game after the line-ups were announced are quite unclear. It wasn't a game in which it was important to remember who was playing which base, who hit what and in what inning. In fact, after about the 2nd inning, everybody lost track of what inning it actually was. I don't know if anybody would even remember the score unless wei had a picture of the scoreboard. There were numerous bench-clearing brawls mostly induced by Frankie's horrible calls (which were very much on purpose). Never before had anyone seen so many players smoking on the field as they were playing and batting.

Now listen. The gyrating rhythms and dreamy saxophone paint a surrealist landscape in your mind and you can hear the animated dialect of Critters Buggin formed in 1992 out of kinship to one another and to share a mutual musical vision. Although each member of Critters Buggin are individually committed to a myriad of other musical involvements (with Tori Amos, Peter Gabriel, Wayne Horvitz, Chris Isaac, and MC 900 Foot Jesus, just to name a few), they are dedicated to one another beyond all others. Their dedication stems from the sheer joy and energy they all get out of each new jam session, album and tour. This energy is carried through their unique compositions. Each song takes you on a fantastic journey filled with strange noises that inspire the imagination. The heavy natural rhythms coupled with high pitched distorted choruses seem an unlikely match, but Critters Buggin pulls all of their disjointed effects together to form a musical masterpiece that feel. J. Bradley Houser adds a spellbinding will make your body groove uncontrollably. groove and depth through his Reverend 5- string bass (which he helped design).

The visual performance compliments the sound perfect ly. A small group of performers help the musicians illustrate social messages and iconoclastic points of view while dancing in outrageous outfits. The audience is swept into this audio/visual experience as if they were particles of water in a calm sea, swaying to and fro as a collective unit with their eyes glued to the stage. If you have not yet experienced a Critters Buggin performance, I highly recommend it. You can tell your parents that you are engaging in a cultural experience of the future (and you would be telling the truth!).

Railroad Avenue is not yet quiet as small. infrequent groups of budding alcoholics make their way to their chosen lounges. I near Rumors Cabaret: thudding bass pronounces its location far before any visual signs. Entering Rumors, I am greeted by a smiling bartender, two lesbians, and a rather tall drag queen. The drag queen, Betty Desire, makes arrangements with me for an interview after her show. She is all smiles and excitement as she darts off to the next group of beer drinkers and, finally, to dance. I follow her into the dance hall. And, feeling much like an anthropologist, I sit in a corner and watch as Betty leads everyone in the Electric Slide. Ah, the environment of the drag queen: perhaps if I survey her long enough I will be able to find out what she eats and maybe even discover her mating habits.
