Scenes(ters) from Bloomington, Ind.: Mule and Pencil at Second Story, 9/24
It's not easy being an aging indie rock fan in a small town. OK,
while I'm not exactly doddering at 27, I have found in recent years
that my going-out capacity is getting more limited. Or maybe it's that my
opportunities are limited (insert rant about local music clubs that
cater to yuppies and cover-band-loving college students here). Or
maybe the only thing that's wearing thin is my patience. At any rate,
it was a nice thing to be able to go out on Saturday, without having to
worry about getting up at 6 am the next day, to see an actual
out-of-town band.
We hung around in the bar for a long time, watching members of various
bands milling around and conferring, waiting for something to happen.
After an hour had passed, I found my predisposition to think well of
Pencil diminishing more with every additional five minutes that
passed. Frankly, though, this shouldn't cause them to lose any sleep,
because I've never been particularly disposed to think well of them,
and that night was no exception. I guess I've just never gotten the
Jesus Lizard thing, as it were, and that's mostly what Pencil, an
affable-looking group of nerdy-yet-goofy guys, seem to be after. The
lead singer, who seeks to disavow nerdiness in favor of a
'dangerous-guy-with-sneer-and tattoos" persona, talks and shouts in
desperate-sounding-yet-meaningless phrases. It all creates an
unrelentingly serious, dire atmosphere, one which caused something of
a stir when Pencil first appeared in Bton, but that I haven't really
seen them progress beyond.
The guys in Mule, as a group, exhibited a sort of thick-necked irony
impairment that allowed them to play Southern-fried RAWK without a
flicker of self-recognition. Oh, the manner is very dramatic and
intense in that '90s way, the sound is all very bass-heavy and
distorted, and there's nary a guitar solo in sight, but essentially
these guys are ripping off Lynryd Skynryd and Black Oak Arkansas in a
big way. Their defining feature, no doubt, is the throaty growl of
their singer, who seems blissfully unaware that he sounds an awful lot
like a less well-groomed Eddie Vedder. Many people at the show who no
doubt think themselves "hip" embraced this kind of chicanery, and this
is something I can't understand. All the fire and brimstone did make
for entertainment (as did the legions of young men who thrashed at the
band's feet, blurting "MULE!" between songs). At the same time, it
was mostly meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Questions
Hi-
Maybe this shouldn't be included in the next issue, maybe you wise
folks in the Junta can just email some answers to me??
[actually, we don't have the answers. our fact-checkers have gone on
strike. so if anyone would like to answer Leigh's questions
(remember,there are no stupid questions!), feel free to answer her by
mail. or send it to us in some entertaining fashion, like by carrier
pigeon, or in free verse.-az]
Stupid Question #1: How many Stereolab albums are there? (I have
_Hooked on Stereolab_, _New Age Bachelor Pad Music_, _Transient..(blah
blah blah), and the new one (the name of which I can't remember).)
#2:Anybody know if Stereolab will head this way, into the Desert
Valley of Slick City? Over the past few weeks I've seen several
reviews of shows along the east coast, but Big Bands rarely come here.
#3:How do you pronounce "Portishead" and what does the name mean?
Thanks,
Clueless and cut off from normal routes of information transferral,

Live Damb'lders/BManning/Rattleheater/records
What is going on with this here Indie-List? Why so sparse, so seldom?
Is everyone relentlessly busy like me? That's why I found time to
write three pages of reviews, I guess :}
LIVE: Dambuilders and Barbara Manning at the Paradise, Boston
Barbara was very sweet and I was not offended by her set, despite the
fact that she suffered from that strange ailment that occasionally
strikes solo artists and makes them forget the words to their own
songs. She started and stopped a number of tunes, apologized a lot
["this is typical of me, actually," she explained at one point] and
sang her last tune from about 6 feet away from her mic. It was ok I
guess, although I would have liked her to get all the way through at
least a few of my favorites. Set list, such as it was, was mostly
from the new one, _Here Now_, which is really good, in case you
haven't bought it yet.
Dambuilders had that "We're back in town and we're hot shit" kind of
bravado going [know what I mean?], lots of energy, giddy banter, giddy
stage antics, a willingness to play most anything including "Shrine"
and "Candy Guts," of which they must be heartily sick, and at least
two encore sets. Hey, they played `em all, albeit with mighty
peculiar final chords, but who can blame them? I think the only songs
they didn't do were "Dose" (no loss) and "Heather" (a personal fave
but not essential). In with the crowdpleasers were a handful of new
songs, which continue the trend begun on Encendedor toward slower,
less driving pop. At first hearing, I was not bowled over, and have
to admit I enjoyed the older ["eclectic"] stuff a lot better. But
maybe I'll get the hang of this new sound after I hear a few of them
again. All in all, one of their best shows ever, I think.
LIVE: Rattleheater at the Green Street Grill
So while I'm on the subject of shows, I'll pop in one more.
Rattleheater are a local band who started up for the hell of it, and
then decided to get serious (but only after booting my friend Ronnie
off drums--for sounding too much like Mo Tucker, he claims). The
venue, a sit-down restaurant, did not make much sense, but somehow
they transcended the peculiar atmosphere with a very loose, rowdy mix
of amiably assaultive punk hop and roll, pleasing some patrons and
driving the rest out the door. Rattleheater have the beautiful Jodi
Sussman on guitar (former Trojan Ponies, but don't hold that against
her), the handsome Mac Stansfield (former Scruffy the Cat--yes, them
again), another Iowan on bass whose name I don't recall, and the
inimitible Al Janik, novice rock personality, ranter, songwriter, beat
poet, Cubbie librarian. The Rattleheater sound has a lot to do with
setting up a good tough rock groove over which Al lays a mostly spoken
vocal rant that calls to mind improvisational rapper poetry slams on
Willie Alexander lowlife themes. Some songs worked better than
others, but overall, they were above average, some nearing greatness.
I especially liked their paean to former Lemonheads Evan and Juliana,
as well as the rockin' "Pick It Up," featuring a rare Jodi guitar
freakout in five part harmonic distortion! Something to see. Don't
look for them out of Boston just yet, but who knows, a tour of Iowa
could be in the offing.
Singles: [I didn't do addresses because I'm lazy, but if anyone wants
any, just email me]
The Grifters/Guided by Voices: split single (Now Sounds)
True to form, Guided by Voices squeeze four songs onto their side
including the standout "Uncle Dave" while the Grifters continue their
journey down the dark alleys of American life with "I'm Drunk," a song
about sex, girls, bars, and the utter futility of it all. Gloomy but
exhilarating. Comes with amusing pseudo-academic liner notes
supposedly written by the two bands.
Lotus Eaters: "Too Late" / "Spit in Your Eye" (Harriet)
A plain voiced singer and exuberantly unprofessional playing may be
off-putting at first, but these songs undo resistance with serious
hooks. Both fall into the country-pop vein, by way of Beat Happening,
with simple melodies and unpretentious arrangements that borrow from
the very best of seventies folk-rock. Dambuilder's violinist Joan
Wasser, always a plus on any record, guests on "Spit" but keeps it
low-key. And if you like this one, they have two more on the shelf
including last year's excellent "Falling," also on Harriet.
The Breeders: _Head to Toe_ (4AD)
Three great songs on cool, menthol-green vinyl for a winning package.
The title cut, by bassist Josephine Wiggs, evokes the heady
punk rock-girl sound of an earlier era but the covers are at least as
good--Guided by Voices' "Shocker in Gloomtown" and Sebadoh's "Freed
Pig" are both great pop-rockers. Finally, if you get bored, you can
drop "Pig" down to 33 to get a taste of the Sebadoh original, complete
with faux-Lou Barlow vocals.
Betty Please: _For Sport and Healthy_ (100% Breakfast!)
Boston's Betty Please favor spare arrangements and a relatively clean
sound that puts the songs up front, even if the lyrics are a bit
murky, or obscure, or both. Both "Radar Whore" and "Styrene" remind
me of mid-'80s British pop a la the Psychedelic Furs, but in no
way is this a criticism. "Radar Whore" is worth the price of the
record all by itself. Side B is more conventional indie pop,
closing with a pretty, minimalist instrumental. Strong songs and
angst for what ails ya.
Flying Saucer Attack: "Soaring High" (I forget, some UK label I think)
I got this one off of Bill Peregoy, and you should too. It's
"soaring," as the title implies, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Both feature hummable tunes to go with all that fuzzy guitar. Very
nice.
Grenadine: "Christiansen" (Teenbeat/Simple Machines)
One each from this tuneful trio, except that only Rob's is anything
like melodic. His contribution "The Barnacle" sticks closer to the
known Grenadine sound while both Jennifer Toomey's "Snuck" (which cops
its opening line from "Rikki Don't Lose That Number") and Robinson's
"Screw" are forays into a new brand of weirdness, not to be confused
with any of the band's other stylistic oddities. On "Snuck," Toomey
sings through one of those voice transmogrifiers that's become so
popular, while Mark Robinson plays patented Mark Robinson guitar over
some off-beat scraping sound. Mark's song is even stranger. I don't
know if it's good or bad, but it's certainly interesting.
Silver Jews/New Radiant Storm King: "Rocket Scientist" b/w "and Nico" (Chunk)
I like the NRSK song just fine - slow and sad with a touch of the
Palace Brothers in the vocals and a nice strummy sound. The Silver
Jews, though. What strange boys these are. I hear Malkmus in the
vocal so I'm guessing he's in the band (I think I heard that somewhere
anyway). The first song is "The Sabellion Rebellion" and the song is
pretty much summed up in the title. For their next trick, a stumble
down memory lane in an irreverant sendup of Sinatra style balladizing
entitled "Old New York," with lounge guitar and improvised lyrics.
Our heroes toss off lines like "You never know who's going to show up
/ in the bar you're going to blow up" and "jolly jolly jolly old New
York." Come to think of it, it's pretty funny. On clear yellow vinyl!
I'm almost done here.
Recent CDs I have bought but not listened to sufficiently to review
properly [Warning: may not be suffiently indie for some readers]:
Neil Young & Crazy Horse: The Kurt Cobain Tribute Album [aka _Sleeps
With Angels_]
First thing I'd like to say about this is that all the songs sound
kind of the same, with the exception of the aptly titled "Piece of
Crap" (OK, the lyrics are kind of funny). But all the same, the
record has a nice elegiac feel to it, a wave to the departed from our
living shores. I especially like "Change Your Mind" (yes, "the long
one" weighing in at 14 minutes). Counter to claims I've been hearing
lately, this album is NOT the _Tonight's the Night_ of the '90s-he'll
never top that-but if you like Neil and miss Kurt, Angels might get
you.
Sebadoh: Bakesale
I miss Eric's weird stuff. Nevertheless, these are good songs, and I
like the record; just think it could use some contrast.
Stereolab: _Mars Audiac Quintet_
I love this! I especially like the song where at least every other
line ends with the word "semblable,"(sung most decorously by Laetitia
en Francais, of course). This is the real lounge music, folks. Too
bad their show at the Middle East sold out before I could get my sorry
butt in the door.
One last word: Anyone know anything about Portishead? I read an
interesting pair of reviews here but all record stores I've thought to
look in have nothing but Portastatic.
Thanks for reading, eh? Lise [LepageL/mf@hermes.bc.edu]

Heterosexuals, Gay Sportscasters, Satans, Inhalants, Motards
thursday nite...Sept. 15....@ emo's...austin, TX
The Heterosexuals & The Gay Sportscasters
The Heterosexuals are ok...i wasn't impressed & didn't pay much
attention to them...loud guitar is all i remember.
The Gay Sportscasters...these guys are like the living legends of
Austin Evan Johns, formerly of the Tailgators & various other sundry
pursuits heads up the guitar tour de force of the band...Jeff Smith as
lead singer is crude, tacky & lots of fun to watch...he used to be in
the hickoids. jeff daniels plays sax & harp and hails from the now
defunct jack o'fire. jeff sets the blues tone that electrifies the
whole venue. let's see, there are two other guitar players, Ed Cute and
Bill Wise, a drummer named Tennyson Lemaster & a bass player known as
Andy Thomas & 2 go-go dancers...their stage presence is big...big &
raunchy.
their sound is Texas blues played fast & mean & quite frankly I
haven't heard a riotous blues band this good in a long,long
time....their single "the Gay Sportscasters" is available on Only Boy
Records, P.O. Box 309, Austin TX 78767-0309 and was produced by Jeff
Smith...the single is on gold vinyl which is impossible to play on a
linear arm turntable
sat. nite...Sept. 17...blue flamingo...austin tx
line-up: The Satans, The Inhalants, The Motards
The Satans are the latest, cutest thing to hit Austin's punk scene.
four guys all sixteen/seventeen who can play punk riffs like nobody's
business...they musta been playing since they were 8 to sound as good
as they do...no singles out yet but after this show there were all
sorts of negotiations going on...
the Inhalants with a new drummer (who used to be with the Hormones)
sounded ten times better than i remembered them...the bass player sang
2 songs this time out & had the audience screaming for more...all
three members ripped thru the set like they were on fire...their
latest single is on bag o'hammers label.
the Motards while no longer considered the cutest band around since
the advent of the Satans, are still the most likely to get the crowd
riled up enough that anything can happen....& it usually does...they
have five or so new songs that were amazingly performed & had everyone
screaming for more. they are well on their way & are currently wheeling
& dealing a couple of singles.
For local entertainment...you just couldn't ask for anything better.--j

Tone in DC
Just a brief review of Tone, yet another minor-league,
obviously-a-side-project, seemed-like-a-good-idea-at-the-time
indie band coming from the DC area. All-instrumental Tone, who opened
for Stereolab at the 9:30 Club 9/17, are a drummer, a bassist, and six
guitars. (Okay, sometimes they're five guitars and two bassists, but
really, who's counting?) They say they have a CD coming out on
Dischord in October.
Tone sounds as if they just heard a Band of Susans instrumental and
thought it'd be great if there were a few extra guitars. Not that
that's a bad idea says this guitar lover, but Tone substitutes the
squalling intensity of the Band of Susans with, well, a few extra
guitars being simply strummed in unison. Okay, I guess, but I'd have
dropped a guitar or two for a little more energy.
And, although the band was uniformed in black trousers, white shirts,
and snappy ties, stage-presence-wise there wasn't really all that much
more than that to look at. (I suppose maybe seven guitarists are a
couple too many for the smallish 9:30 stage.)
It all reminded me somewhat of long-ago days in the college dorm,
when my old roommate would play guitar with the next-door neighbor.
The two of them would strum away, neither of them ever even attempting
to sing. For hours and hours, they would play their limited and
simple Neil-Young-only repertoire without leads and without vocals --
just because the two guitars strummed together sounded very nice. And
as everyone knows, two guitars sound better than one.
P.S. Non-indie Stereolab was quite excellent, but not as much so as
postings on some other lists would have one believe. (And beware, the
baseball-capped, frat-boy, I'll-pogo-to-anything crowd is closing in
quickly.) Going along with the Washington Post (p)reviewer, I am
quickly tiring of the (paraphrasing the Post) faux-samba coctail-y
thing. Otherwise, however, they were loud, intense, and precise.
But, and this is the true measure of S'lab for this reviewer, they
were trance-inducing only twice.

Veruca Salt vs. Liz Phair, part II, also Ivy and Flower
I'd like to semi-apologize for my ranting about Liz Phair and Veruca
Salt from a couple of weeks ago. There I go, talking about how Veruca
is getting no press, and about a week later the press juggernaut
begins. Many people sent me angry messages. So, with both bands
being hyped, I still prefer Veruca. Meanwhile the Liz Phair media
onslaught continues, with Rolling Stone about to declare her the
messiah (now that M. Schneerson is dead, there has to be one). As I
predicted, Liz got the front record review in the Jerry Seinfeld as
Elvis issue. This week she's on the cover, along with "women in
rock," yet another interview where they sit down with random women
musicians (Madonna, Tori Amos, that bald bass player babe with the
funny name, Kim Gordon, and Kate Schellen- bach among them) and ask
them what it's like to be women in rock, and the women all say that
they don't care about women in rock, they just wanna play music
without being part of some lame movement. Anyway, if you want to know
about Liz's childhood sex fantasies (Mr. Greenjeans, apparently) then
pick up Rolling Stone, and if you want unhyped rockin' good music, try:
Ivy - lately EP (Seed)
The first time I listened to this, I thought it was okay, but it has
steadily grown on me and at this point I listen to it at least once a
day. Five songs done by a three-piece, with a female lead singer
(Dominique Durand) and male backups. I don't know who plays what
instrument 'cause it doesn't list it. Dominique's French accent is way
cool. The music is jaunty jangle-pop, soft rather than distorted, and
the melodies are emminently hummable. The last song is an acoustic
cover, very calming, called "I guess I'm just a little too sensitive."
If anyone knows more about this great band, I'm curious. ** 1/2
Flower - Concrete Sky (1987-1990) (Simple Machines/Bear)
I think this has been reviewed already, but I'll do it again for good
measure. This is the band that evolved into Versus, while other
members left to form Ruby Falls. As the first review of this said, it
is very late '80's Sonic Youth sounding. The interesting thing,
however, is that it actually consists of two rereleased albums,
"Hologram Sky" from 1990 and "Concrete" from 1988. The first half,
the 1990 stuff, is almost all sung by Rich Balayut and sounds much
more like Versus - softer parts, more textured guitar, drop-D type
stuff. The second half, the 1988 stuff, is more punk, less melodic,
and sung by a different guy (the guy from Ruby Falls, maybe - I've
never heard them). As a Versus fan, I much prefer the first half.
The second half shows the Mission of Burma influences more, but that's
because it kinda sounds like all the old MOB demos that didn't make
the albums, like on the "Forget" compilations, whereas the first half
of Flower (and Versus) sounds like the classic MOB singles ("That's
When I Reach for my Revolver," etc.) But the first half is so good, it
makes up for the fact that I usually don't listen to part II.
"Hologram Sky" * 1/2, "Concrete" **, total *
By the way, I got this CD from Pop Narcotic. It was the first time I
had ever ordered by mail, and it came in LESS THAN A WEEK for only 10
bucks. Bill Peregoy rocks! I recommend Pop Narcotic to all...

Smog/Trumans Water at Jabberjaw
Trumans Water, Smog
Jabberjaw, Los Angeles
Friday, September 23
A couple years on, after the "why, they're the new Pavement!" hype is
gone and the initial John Peel thumbs-up has lost its luster, Trumans
Water are still doing their mix of stutter-stop skronk and sub-sonic
youth droning. At Jabberjaw on Friday night, the band, now reduced
(for religous reasons?) to a three-piece attack of drums and two
guitars, soldiered on as they always have, eschewing old material for
songs they'd written just days before, at times locking into a
peculiar Trumans non-groove that would momentarily border on morphing
into a conventionally-structured song until they realized what they
had done -- and then it was back to what one friend succinctly
described as "early-SST time."
This may be stretching it... but Trumans Water and other bands from
San Diego's art-rock wing (I'd include Drive Like Jehu here) are kinda
like them darned French theorists who seem to hover around arguments
instead of making them. You think the Trumans could write a catchy
song if they put their minds to it, but they just don't seem
interested -- they're intent on ringing their guitars around songs'
edges instead.
Smog in Los Angeles...it had to happen. But seriously, Mister Smog
and his cohorts (a too-loud drummer and female
vocalist/multi-instumentalist) played songs so charmless that the
atmsophere within Jabberjaw's four lime-green walls became positively
grey and dreary. A few songs really stood out (one that mentioned
"wine-stained lips", and, of course "A Hit," with the great line that
goes -- I think -- "it's not gonna be a hit, so why even bother"), but
much of the set was hurt by the presence of "is this a
contempt-of-the- audience joke by Smog"/ridiculously ponderous
keyboards and silly/pointless lyrics about Prince being alone in his
studio or Mr. Smog's exercise regimen. Yawn.

ANNOUNCE: Rodrigue's semi-official schedule
Every year I shoot my mouth off about Rodrigue's, the on-campus
coffeehouse at Fordham. Yes, it's true that Edgar Allen Poe slept
there (he wrote many of his stories/poems there, notably "The Bells").
Yes, it's true that there is no alcohol served. Lots of cool bands
have played there. The shows are free, whether you're a Fordham
student or not.
That said, if you live in New York, these shows may be of interest to
you. They're official as of today. Most shows start at 9 PM.
September 25th- Doo Rag
October 5th- Sunny Day Real Estate
October 10th- Antimony/Pitchblende
Rodrigue's is a better place than CBGB to see bands like these, IMHO,
just because it's not too crowded and has those neat-o wooden floors
that carry the vibrations through your body (I'm a sucker for that
kind of stuff).
Okay, I'm off the soapbox now.
