  • Entertainment The Western Carolinian Page 8 Thursday, October 6, 1988 LCE Sponsors Slovak Folk Ensemble by Holly Wheatley The Slovak State Folk Ensemble will perform October 10 in WCU's Liston B. Ramsey Regional Activity Center as part of the Lectures, Concerts and Exhibitions Series at Western Carolina University. The 60-tnember troupe, including dancers, singers and orchestra, is from the hills of Czechoslovakia, about an hour's drive from Vienna, Austria, an area famous for its color- Concert Review: ful folk culture. The program features the balletically and athletically skilled and trained troupe. The twirls, spins, leaps and acrobatics contrast with a more lyrical folk style in a varied repertoire. The program will begin at 8 p.m. Tickets will be $ 10 for adults, $8 for WCU employees and senior citizens, and $3 for WCU students and youths. Tickets may be purchased at the Ramsey Center ticket Antiseen Hits Charlotte For Five Years of Sonic Reduction by Michael Cook Charlotte's wildest rock and roll band celebrated its fifth year anniversary show at the infamous Milestone Club in Charlotte last Friday, September 30th. About 150 people showed up lor a kick-out- the-jams evening that wrapped up with the audience stomping and cheering for two encores. It was a typical response for Antiseen, a band that has given consistently great performances throughout its career. Just like seeing the Ramones - they're never disappointing. Antiseen's first gig was at the "Punk Invasion" of Boone on October 1, 1983, along with five other bands, including the debut of Charlotte's Fetchin' Bones and Hickory's NRG. It was the most important show for the fledgling underground music scene of this half of the state. Fetchin' Bones went on to MTV and Capitol Records, NRG recorded with REM producer Mitch Easter, and Antiseen and its members have appeared in Spin and Creem's Metal Review magazines. The band has released two LP's - Drastic in 1985 and E.P. Royalty the following year, and their first album is due for release by the end of this month. Singer Jeff Clayton and guitarist Joe Young also have solo recordings due out at Halloween. Their sound is best described as grinding garage stomp, in the spirit of bands like Iggy & the Stooges , MC5, early Who, Blue Cheer , and other sincerely outrageous groups. Their lineup has changed over the years but they are still a four piece group, Clayton and Young remaining the only original members. Doug Throgmorton serves as the maniacal drummer, with Tom O'Keefe on bass duty. The pair are a devastatingly heavy combination of rhythm and beat, laying the foundation for Young's blasting wall of guitar sound. Clayton roars out his lyrics to original songs such as "Jailbait", "Queen City Stomp" (a local anthem), and "Destructo Rock", a song in which the band sometimes decides to smash all of its instruments. Young has smashed dozens of guitars since that first Boone gig, but Friday he could'nt afford to trash his last sur viving guitar, a Telecaster. "You go broke real quick doing the Pete Townshend thing," he admitted. "You can't pay bills with broken guitars". Antiseen has stayed true to its name - they refuse to change to suit the various musical fads or pledge allegiance to metal, hippy-folk, or punk cliques. Anti-scene, get it? They realize that rock and roll isn't about labels or trying to be "rock gods". Their approach is no-frills, no costumes, just basic, simple rock tunes. The results are shows with all types of fans attending and having a great time together. Punks and hicks, metalheads and Deadheads, old rockers and young ones. Due to past stage antics and instrument trashings they have been banned from several venues, but audience response usually convinces club owners to have them back. Their next show is set for November 10 at the Park Elevator in Charlotte, and hopefully they'll be at Asheville's Fine Arts Theatre in the near future.

The official grand opening of the pub will be held on Thursday, October 6 at 8:00 p.m. Come out and enjoy the Br- idger Medlin Dance Show Ltd., who will provide dance entertainment and Henry Cho, a comedian, who will provide comic relief. Also at the grand opening ceremonies the official name of the snackbar/pub will be announced, with the contributor receiving $50.00. How did we get so lucky as to have our own pub right on campus? The idea was born in the fall semester of 19 86 when a group of students offered a proposal for the renovation of the Catskeller snackbar. The renovation plans called for the installation of new furniture and decor, a sound system, a dance floor, and appropriate lighting. The plan was to give Western students an alternative place to go that served non-alcoholic beverages with a night club atmosphere. Western's Food Advisory Committee reviewed the proposal and recommended to Chancellor Coulter that the renovation proceed. The Chancellor supported the proposal and the renovation to the Catskeller was incorporated with the asbestos removal from the U.C. The Pub is now open on Wednesday and Thursday from 8-1 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 8-12 midnight. During these hours, non-alcoholic drinks will be served such as rum teasers or spiced tropical supremes, along with foods such as fried cheese sticks, chicken fingers, or shrimp egg rolls. In addition, the regular snackbar menu will also be available. The "Name the Snackbar/ pub" contest took place in early September. Those who entered the contest were asked to submit names at several spots in the U.C. The name will be selected by a committee of the administration, U.C. and snackbar staff and Last Minute Productions. Be a part of the grand opening ceremony for the new snackbar/pub.
