  • Western Carolinian April 11,1996 Features Musical Variety finally finds Cullowhee Edwin McCain hits the Ramsey Center stage at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 17. Photo courtesy of Atlantic Records Commentary by Scott Francis Associate Editor Well, I should say that it's about time that we got something around here besides country music or southern rock. Forgive me for going out on another limb here that is bound to put my foot right back in my mouth and hate mail back in my cardboard box at the Carolinian, but you should know that the music I am addressing has nothing to do with my own personal taste. I merely wish to applaud LMP for finally getting us a bit more variety than seemed possible for the Ramsey Center. On Wednesday, April 17, Edwin McCain will be performing at Ramsey. Cost is $6 in advance for students and $8 for others. The band has often been compared to Hootie and the Blowfish, and the Dave Matthews Band. If you enjoy that whole bluesy college groove rock scene, this should be the show for you. Show time is 8 p.m. If you prefer a little more hip-hop or R&B, then check out the rap group OutKast, who will take the stage at Ramsey on Friday, April 19. The group is said to "conjure up old images of Superfly and the Mack." Opening for OutKast will be R&B trio Kut Klose. The show starts at 8 p.m. and will cost $10 in advance for students and $13 for all others. Be sure to take advantage of this great opportunity for musical variety. If the shows are successful, perhaps there will be even more opportunity for this kind of diverse entertainment in the future. Native Tongue Calls It Quits After Six Years by Kevin Cassels Staff Reporter The 1995-96 school year has seen the demise of several local bands, as well as New Deli, the popular concert bar in downtown Sylva. Last month, the Cullowhee music scene received another blow with the demise of Native Tongue, one of the area's longest-running and hardest-working bands. From 1990 to 1996, Native Tongue played any and every gig they could get their hands on, from headlining this year's first New Deli gig to playing the 1995 Asheville Earth Day festival with the Blue Rags, Tripod, Minus Us and others. In the early '90s, Native Tongue were one of the most popular concert attractions around. They continued to polish their sound with improvisa- tional jams that spread throughout their original and borrowed material. Native Tongue also played with many young and upcoming bands, which enabled these bands to get their foot in the door and make a name for themselves around town. Native Tongue finally released a self-titled debut alburn in 1994, which included many of their concert classics, such as "Baby Jane." After playing nearly the same set list for years, Native Tongue debuted a host of new songs at Bailey's in March, one of the band's final concerts. Rumor has it that drummer Aaron Lander and bassist David Muse had a talhng-out, and now refuse to play with each other. However, Lander, leader Josh Cox, and guitarist Chris Presley are planning a project in the #tuture>as they be|in the frustrating search for a new bass player. c"«tlw^CL7brand ofhip-hop t0 WCUs Ramey Photo courtesy ofLaFace Record*
