  • Western Carolinian September 14,1995 l^e Wanna Roc j£ Features ^m (Poet Wanders the Area by Jon Lauterer Staff Reporter Can it be true? Is Last Minute Productions really going to present a true "alternative" rock band for all of the students on campus who could scream if another all- cover band shows up on our UC lawn again? Pinch me if I'm dreaming, but I think the folks at LMP are actually getting the message from the student body. "We want rock, not pansy Hootie clones." The first LMP conquest ended up being somewhat successful. Bus Stop proved to be one of the all-around best bands to play the UC in a long time. I was shocked. Last [year, we had a virtual drought of talented bands at LMP projects. Can they pull off two [good bands in one semester? They seem to be trying. , Outcry, a New Jersey-based group, is scheduled to play September 14 in the Cherokee room. Outcry has been described as "a guitar-driven, hook-oriented rock band with a rough edge that plays well on cam puses and vocals strong enough to outlast the current trends." That's all well and good, but do they really rock? Their first album, titled Wentworth, was; recently released. It probably isn't available at most outlets, but the band will most likely] have an abundance of copies at the show. Would it be worth the money? You make the call. I truly hope this band is the real thing. This area could use some pure rock, and on a regular basis. That would be nice. I would rather have some of my tuition money go towards fine entertainment, not a shiny new campus police patrol car. That's a whole different article. The show will begin at 9 p.m., and th^ cover charge will be a mere dollar. And if you really like the band, donate a little more to their gas fund. I have a feeling they won't be getting paid a whole awful lot. Rock on kids! bj Chris Carrier Staff Reporter Poet Robert Creeley will read from his works on Friday, September 15.
