April 13th 1990 '

The complacent, stately aura ofthe Copper Room created an interesting contrast to the exploeiveenergy emanating from the amplifiersin the middle of the room. Those whovoyaged to thesalt Lake Community College Copper Room on April la, J990 endeavored to shake, stand, slam, and stomp to the aural vibrations manipulated by Dinosaur Bones, Viaims Willing and the Boxem Kids. hq enduring Salt Lake bands once again donated their kirlelic noise to a most pious cause: a benefit concert for BARRIER FREE EDUCATION. Admission was free, but most individuals called upon their empathetic virtue and dispensed their spare shillings to the Bamer Free people. The bands also played to no pay, but sounded as excellent as wer. Dinosaur Bones was first and began the show by ripping into "Manipu- lationship" from the "American White Trash" release. Despite the omon of the obligatory Frankie Yankovic accordian solo, his song still shredded the innards. But wait, that was just the sound check. After they adjusted their little eaualization knobs, the Bones gathered the multitude, about the stage and unleashed the most ruling song since creation, "Dino Gods." Golly, that song kicks! Musically and lyrically, this jam demonstrated the Dinosa9 Bones' humorous style. Suffice to say, the Bones continued their onsla&t, *f/L,. , . stomping.through "bisco Inferno," ''This is Your Life," and, among Qthks, */., "American White Trash" and "Fashion Icon."
