Bikers Raise Money for HIV Services 100 motorcyclists will ride from San Francisco to Napa Valley for the Third Annual Ride for Life on Sunday, October 24. The Ride for Life raises money and awareness about HIV and AIDS and is orga nized by Shanti, a non-profit agency that is dedicated to helping people with terminal illnesses. "In just three years, we've brought together a special group of people," said Development Manager, Ron Perri. "They all have two things in common — their love for motorcycle riding and their desire to show continued support for people living with HIV disease and AI DS." Participants in the ride will meet at the Kilo watt Club in San Francisco at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday. Each biker is asked to pay $25.00 for a lunch and a commemorative Ride for Life pin.

Back then, we were doing what we do now, but everyone else was into Kurt Cobain kinda' stuff. No one would come see us but our friends." said Murray Hammond, bass player and vocalist for the Dallas- based Old 97's. "Now, we're getting radio attention for the first time." Old 97's climb from obscurity within the Alternative County movement has been a long haul. However, with recent attention from major radio stations, including KFOG and Alice, as well as a headlining spot on this years Now and Zen Festival, it seems their simple yet honest approach to music is garnishing the attention they appropriately deserve. Murray sat down with me this past June at the House of Blues in Hollywood, a day after their most recent jaunt at Slims in San Francisco and spoke about getting mainstream attention, playing folk music and Lemmy Kilmester. Calling Old 97's an alternative country band probably doesn't help many people. Imagine the tradition and emotion of country as played by kids that came of age with the music of The Ramones, The Clash and the Sex Pistols. Rock n' Roll at its barest. Not a lot of lessons but, a whole lot of attitude. "Well," said Murray, "We're kind of country rock band that doesn't suck. Our whole thing is to take a simple sound and rev it up. There are just a few elements; some get more emphasized than others do. There's always country. Always reved up Rock n' Roll stuff. Always a pop sensibility with a few nods towards the past." Old 97's latest release "Fight Songs" is at once a homage to the sounds that have shaped them as well as a dynamic album with tones ranging from heartbroken ballads to snarling tales of debauchery and desire. "All we wanted was to be catchy, to make people sing along and have fun, to be able to write a number like "Wake Up Little Suzie." Catchy the album is, with gems like "Jagged," "Busted Afternoon," and "Murder (or a heart attack)," it's hard not to hum along to its melodies. While they may not be writing the next "Wake Up Little Suzie," their album is currently tearing up the college radio charts and has two songs, "Nineteen" and "Murder (Or a Heart Attack), in daily radio rotation. Now with all the attention, the question is whether or not Old 97's, or even the Alt. Country scene, will be the next big thing? "Are we catching on? I dunno." Said Murray, "We've got a song on the radio but is it Alt. Country? Probably not. When something gets onto the radio, it itfvolves a lot of luck. It's not who puts in the most work, it's who writes the best song." A realistic point of view— something rare with pop musicians. "The rules ofthe world aren't accommodating to something that comes from a pure point of reference, but I've got faith in Alt. Country." said Hammomnd. "The coolest thing about the movement is that it created a community, a real community, not just people who are into it 'cause it's cool and once it's not cool, they move on." However, at the end of the: day, after the show, the parties, the fans, the tours and the attention, Murray maintains the fact that they're just four regular guys. "We don't follow the need to expand the boundries of music. It's not cancer research*. It's just music. We don't take it too seriously. We're just a bunch of guys who love tradition, history, quirky humor, and music from the 50's, 60's, and punk."
Old 97's will be performing along with Jewel, Cake, Scrotum Pole and more this weekend at the 1999 Alice now and Zen festival in Golden Qate park.
