FOGHORN STAFFWRITER Did you know that rock music and that deep "twiterpated" feeling in your stomach can be mixed so entirely that you find your guts being flipped around and your palms sweaty? It is strange how much rock music and all the feelings associ­ ated with love have never taken on such a strong appeal. "Boy skout" are a new San Francisco based band that is playing heartstrings with some of the sweetest and original riffs ex­ perimented with in a long while. Boy skout give a whole new meaning to the reference "girl band," where sharing your feelings is put to mind blowing guitar ranges and complex drum sequences. There girls, and it isn't incidental, music is for everyone and these girls have made it just as sweet by balancing the skill with the pas­ sion in their songs. Boy skout consists of Carrie Walker Mills on drums, Leslie Satterfield and Jeovana Lara are vocalist who both switch between bass and guitar. The band opened at Kimos on Polk of the Tender­ loin on March 7th in an upstairs loft. Like many bands that are trying to make it as musicians these girls have to deal with day jobs and night practice. But unlike their comrades I see a bright future for these girls who have actual depth to contribute to the Frisco scene. Carrie Mills exercised her atten­ tion getting power by opening with her sweet self- inspired fork tune played with electric guitar. Then she takes her place behind her sparkling 20 year old magenta drum kit and for the last time uses the mic; "It's a rock show, you came to see a rock show!"
