  • WESTERN CAROLINIAN Western Carolinian Features September 19, 2001 NOFX delivers live punk rock to Atlanta By Jeff Atkins Staff Writer Let's face it: There's not much of a blossoming music scene in Cullowhee, much to the dismay of myself and many others. Often, one has to go quite a ways out of the valley to see a "real" band perform. There are a number of venue options for the willing music fan, including Asheville, 45 minutes from here, Knoxville, 2 hours and 45 minutes from here, Charlotte, 3 hours from here, Atlanta, 3 hours from here, and the Raleigh-Durham- Chapel Hill area, 5 hours from here. On Oct. 26, some "real" music is coming to The Masquerade in Atlanta in the form of NOFX. NOFX is a punk band from California who have made their reputation on blistering riffs and social commentary in the form of hilarious lyrics. NOFX has continued to thrive as a band because of their devoted fan base. Their records never sell a million copies, they refuse interviews to major publications, they refuse to have their songs played on radio, and they refuse to have anything to do with the arch-enemy of independent music, MTV. Yet even still they have prospered because their strong convictions and catchy songs have endeared them to the punk community. NOFX, featuring singer/ bassist Fat Mike (owner of Fat • Wreck Chords), guitarist/ singer/trumpet player El Hefe, drummer Erik Sandin and guitarist Eric Melvin, has released eight studio albums, NOFX-Place: The Masquerade, Atlanta, Ga. Date: October 26, 2001 Mileage: 147.5 miles (3 hours, 36 minutes) including the classic "Punk in Drublic," a live album, and countless EP's. Their last studio album, "Pump up the Valium," was released in the summer of 2000 and shows that their music has only gotten harder, faster, and funnier since their beginning. Their most ambitious release, "The Decline," was released in 2000 as well. "The Decline" is an EP that consists of one 18-minute track speaking on the subject of politics, welfare, prison conditions and other socially relevant topics. It is their most activist and politically charged release to date. The band's live show is equally as charged as their albums. Blistering sets of crowd favorites like the lesbian love song, "Liza and Louise" and the anti- corporate-radio anthem, "Please Play This Song on the Radio," along with extreme crowd interaction and witty banter make NOFX one of the best live shows around. Tickets are currently on sale for $20 to their show on Oct. 26, and are available through The Masquerade's website, http:// www.masq.com/, as are directions to the venue. One should not go expecting Green Day or Blink- 182. These guys are the real thing, not an MTV photocopy of what Carson Daly thinks punk should be. One should, however, go expecting to see one of the best shows they'll ever have the chance to see. Other upcoming events include the art-metal stylings of Tool, in Charlotte on Oct. 6, and the funky music of Incubus, in Raleigh on Sept. 25. Tickets for both shows are currently on sale through Ticketmaster. More locally, Weekend Excursion will be playing the Music Zone on Saturday night. Women's Center prepares for autumn programs By Jenni Giles Staff Writer The Women's Center of Western Carolina University is still in full swing and has lined up a number of programs for students returning for fall. Located on the second floor of the Hinds University Center, The Women's Center offers a comfortable and caring environment for all guests, in addition to many ongoing activities for both students and community members. Rebecca Caldwell, the woman behind the scenes of women's advocacy and women's involvement believes that the Center is quickly becoming an important part of student life at Western Carolina. She says that all of the student involvement is a "wonderful sign that the momentum is growing and that students are taking lead in deciding how they wapt their Women's Center to be." The Center's programs for this fall will be based around the ideas of women's advocacy and awareness. On Oct. 14 and Nov. 11, the Cyber Cafe" the Center will be hosting an opeH mic poetry and performance evening for women to share songs and read their own poetry or the words of poets they admire. Activities begin at 8 PM. The Women's Center also has an ongoing book club where women gather and choose a book, read it and come back together to discuss its impact on them. The next meeting will be on Thursday, Sept. 20, at 12:15 p.m. in the Women's Center. For the month of October, the Women's Center will be advocating breast cancer awareness as well as the overall health of women. To show support for the survivors, victims and patients of breast cancer, the Center will be going to Asheville on Oct. 27 and taking part in the Relay For Life, a walk that raises money for the American Cancer Society. The Center will also collaborate with the fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha to support breast cancer awareness. The Women's Center is also the umbrella organization for two other campus groups: The Women's Advisory Council, a group of 50 women from four aspects of WCU (students, staff, faculty, and administration) as well as women who are active in the local community. This council acts as a group to coordinate events and to advocate all waves of lifestyles for women. WISE Women, a student advocacy group formed to deal with issues on campus pertaining to female students, was recently created and is looking for interested women to join. James Stewart, a graduate of WCU who returned to Western to teach in the English Dept. serves as advisor to WISE Women. Caldwell believes that there is always room for ideas and improvement and would like input from all campus and community members. She has received a great deal of support from all areas of the community and is pleased with a wave of volunteers. Christy Tillman, a WCU student and Women's Center assistant, has organized a group of volunteers who staff the Women's Center during the week. Caldwell would like to see the Women's Center as an aid to "foster awareness and activism on campus and in the community, and for the center to be a safe place that focuses on sharing stories and encouraging all students to reach their full potential." For more information or to get involved, call the Women's Center at 227-3982 or stop by the Center's offices at 213 Hinds University Center.
