Mark Kaufman Dash Riprork ne of the most determined and hardest work ing bands in New Orleans is Dash Rip Rock, a trio that plays everything from folk music to Odriving rock'n'roll. In the past six months, the band has toured twice (most recently with The Aies) usinga$1200 van for transportation. ("We bought it one day and left for Baltimore the next, without having the engine checked.") Determination and work have begun to produce results for the group, which formed just two years ago. In February, Dash was signed by 688 Records, and in March, appeared on MTV's The Culling Edge. This month, the band will travel to New York where they'll represent 688 at the New Music Seminar. The agreement with the Atlanta-based 688 means that Dash will appear with the Aeshtones, among others, on a compilation album to be released in August. In October, 688 will release Dash Rip Rock's debut album which should emphasize the band's folksier, more sensitive side.

Blaylock, a Washington D.C. native, received a B.A. from Tulane, then graduated from its Jaw school in 1982. So far he hasn't had to neglect music for law or law for music. ''What ends up com promised," he says, "is sleep." The Petries, named after Dick Van Dyke's televi sion family and inspired by Rob and Laura's style, began when Vance Degeneres approached Blaylock and drummer Steve Fisher, who were with Lenny Zenith, and asked them to form a band with him. Elliot Kelly became keyboardist and they "au ditioned and auditioned" before finding "three girls who can sing, look good, and dance." When De generes left for Los Angeles, he was replaced by bass player John Meunier, "funkiest white boy I know" who used to play with Blaylock in Oyster Licks. Blaylock says the three women, Heidi Jen sen, Martha Leggett, and Laura Frerar, "make working conditions more pleasurable. Each one has a lot of creative talent, and it's just the first band for each of them." Before Degeneres left, he wrote most of the songs. Now they are penned by Blaylock, Meunier, and Frerer. When asked if his legal practice in fluenced his songs, Blaylock replies, "Only the blues." He's referring to his early days of mostly criminal practice, before his switch to mainly general civil.
