By Chereen Myers Staff Writer Haggis (hagis) n 1. A pudding, popular.especially in Scotland, made of the heart, liver, and lungs of a sheep or a calf minced with suet, onions, oatmeal and seasonings, and boiled in the stomach of the animal. 2. A rock band from Boise, Idaho, who frequents a club called The Ruby Slipper. Now this, you might be thinking, is a weird name for a band. Well, you're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy, and this isn't an ordinary band. Besides, it's not like Haggis is waiting with bated breath to get your opinion. They could care less how you react. Quick to separate themselves from other alternative bands in Boise, Haggis is definitely not your' ordinary group of musicians. "I don't care whether people like us or hate us as long as they have an opinion. We don't care if we irritate people," said bassist Mark Hanford. "Too many alternative bands in Boise walk the line so they'll be accepted.Wedon'tcareabou~ being accepted," added guitarist Paul Birnbaum. Being labeled an' alternative band isn't problematic for the quartet because they aren't like other alternative groups, according to Birnbaum. "We have a different sound than the other local alternative bands. It doesn't matter if we are another alternative band because we just play what we want to play." While Haggis plays mostly originals, they do feature some covers, but Mark Hanford, Paul Birnbaum, nothing you would recognize. "The covers we do are either unrecognizable Shane McCoy, and Andy . because we change them, like "Dancing Queen," or they are songs most people Agenbroad, members of Haggis. , have never heard before," said bassist Mark Hanford. Another popular cover is appear frequently at The Ruby . "Play Along," which features the words from the familiar children's TV show, Slipper. Sesame Street, set to original music by Haggis . .' The band got together in August and is now a popular attraction at The Ruby Slipper, a new alternative club in Boise. The club began as a practice space for a handful of local bands (including Haggis) and is now offering shows on Friday nights. The dual role is unusual for the band, admits Hanford. "It's weird for us toplay here because we are basically running the place. NQwwe aren't just focusing on playing, webave otherthings to'take care of as well" . . '...... '.
