October 19,1995 Western Carolinian 15 Editorials Seroton inch, pity WHY DON'T WE LIKE OUR LOCAL BANDS, AND WHY DON'T THEY LIKE US? by Kevin Cassels Staff Columnist Nobody gives a rat's ass about the diverse sounds coming from the garages and basements around town. This isn't news to me. It seems like that's always been the case. Of course, there are more important recreational activities going on TOund campus, like stale comedians and has-been magicians live from the world-renowned Cherokee Room-but if you're looking for good local music on campus, you're lo*ng in the wrong place. When I was a shiny "e* freshman in the fall of ™3,1 looked in the wrong fe. However, on Hallow- een Night of that year, I was lnv'ted to a costume party at a small, two-bedroom aPartment. What I expected Was»lot of laughter, crazy oth£s, imported beer, and ■[occasional sound of glass leaking. What I didn't expect *«*t or so hours of live a> music. Three bands £;dknight: Drug, Joe's - Elect f °ck' and the legendary nois t °rUg Played wild' experimental punk' F'2hting Cock pulled out old Elect TCrS fr°m 7 Seconds and Fugazi, and hours' fUXdaZZ'ed the crowd with four cover "0US ori8'nal material and s ranging from Elvis to the Cramps. Neil s ^r the concert, Electrolux drummer c«nsta e? Wh° had been handed beers hewaf ^ f°Ur hours'informed me that gUardSb om the Planet Xenon. Caught off Neil wJ wS bizarre comment, I then asked student ^.U 3nd the majority of its cast ofS °nt know about tms underground sounH,.1^115'031 characters and the interesting ^ a^ producing. said Ne i ,°esn l matter how good you are," "ever „ •' you're from Cullowhee, you're r*0,n8 to get noticed." came t0°W depressing- A few questions then iattle ofm,y mind- what happened to the (he Bands? Why doesn't Power 91 have a local music hour? How about a half an hour? Ten minutes? Why do we have to listen to Dino's voice? Why does LMP hire out-of-town acts to play on the lawn in front of the entire campus while throwing Electolux in the Cherokee Room after Joe Blow's cheesy versions of Air Supply classics? As the semester rolled on, I attended more great parties accompanied by more great bands. I discovered the A-Frame, Cullowhee's answer to the Carousel Ball room or CBGB's. There I grooved to the vibes of Jupiter's Eye, Strobelight Cockfight, and good ole Native Tongue while meeting people that were actually somewhat interesting (living on campus convinced me that all males within city limits were required to wear baseball caps). Around sunrise after one of the many A-Frame blowouts, I asked a friend of mine if there were any bands around here that actually sucked. "If you wanna hear the really terrible, mindless, off key stuff, you have to go to the fraternities," he replied. "They don't even know about us. Those bands can't even write songs, they just play 'Iron Man' and 'Copperhead Road'."Wait a minute, isn't this backwards? Future blast to October 1995. The A- Frame is gone, no more weekends at Stan's, Strobelight Cockfight has turned into Weedeater and back into Jupiter's Eye, Joe's Fighting Cock is now Minus Us, Spare Change is now Oliver Soup, and new bands like Tarp and Rufus Jr. are playing new venues like the New Deli and, surprise, the Cherokee Room on a regular basis. Things are getting better around town. Bands are getting some airplay, flyers aren't being torn down for at least two days, and no one has to go to Bailey's anymore. After a year and a half of silence, the one and only Electrolux is returning to town at the stroke of midnight on Halloween at New Deli. I encourage you all to check out the longest-running band in the school's recent history and some of their jamming tunes, such as the theme from "Batman." Who knows, you might even meet somebody from the planet Xenon. If Hootie and the Blowfish had attended WCU instead of USC, would they still be playing for free in the Reynolds lobby? On the other hand, if Electrolux was part of a more open- minded student body, would their hardcore following of hundreds turn into thousands and thousands? Maybe so, maybe not. Free your mind and your ass will follow and so will your friends. Take a mere twenty seconds to read the next flyer you see. Skip out on a pack of cigarettes or a can of Skoal this week and spend two or three dollars for two or three bands. They might not play Bush or Green Day, but I bet you'll be tapping your foot or nodding your head. Skip this week's showing of "Milo and Otis" in the UC and drive up to Asheville to hear some of the hundreds of great bands playing around the clubs. I can't persuade you by telling you everybody's doing it, because they're not, but maybe they will be in a few years. A couple of years ago, I was actually lucky enough to start playing in a band around town. Before each show, I hear the same voice come out of the sky: "If you play it, they won't necessarily come, but they might."
