heavily-populated with both dirty
potiticianB and boulevards, but there
are also big-time romances ("Romeo
had Juliet"), Vietnam vets ("Xmas in
February") and friends with AIDS
("Halloween Parade"). Just like
everywhere.
And just like before, way before,
Lou s before, the music is good and
tough. Not Mistrial tough, but Street
Hassle tough. Challenging, too. The
musicians are New York guys with
reps—which does not mean anything
by itself—and Lou seems to remember
that guitars are means and not ends.
So if go for verdicts or things like
them, you d have to call New York a
good thing. It rocks, is loaded with
meaning, and carries a message
ordering you listen to the thing in one
setting "as though it were a book or a
movie."
Pretension, unlike social
consciousness, never goes out of style.

Lone Wolf Gang
Lone Wolf
Independent (cassette
only)
Fresno's best band, the Lone Wolf
Gang, has been together for just over i
year now. They marked their
anniversary by releasing their first
tape, Lone Wolf.
The year has been productive for the
trio, which now has a whole slew of
originals, the vast majority of which
are hook-packed, instantly memorable
songs.

Excellentsongwriting, harmonies
and the guitar work of Perry Hodge
give the band a unique sound thi s
hardtoputafingeron. But that won't
stop me from trying.
In concert, the band moves
effortlessly through country, blues,
rock and so-called progressive
originals.
The tape is a good summarization of
the band, touching on a wide variety of
sounds. The six songs included give a
more subdued look at the band than the
live performances, but nonetheless
make a good package.
"Man Without a Cause" is the
highlight, a progressive country
shuffle accented by the great
harmonies that are the band's
trademark (to the likes of me,
anyway).
"Rockin Chair" is a sort of
demented country, like the Oak Ridge
Boys meet John Doe.
Perry Hodge handles the lead vocals
on four of the tracks, and bassist Joe
RoHato, Jr. takes care of the remainder.
Hodge's vocals are at theirbest on
"Looks Like You're Gone," an
original blues song featuring a
squeaky-clean BB. King-ish boIo.
The closing song, "Never Fall For
Faces," is a rockabilly tune with a
great, oft-repeated hook. But the only

Somethin' to Dti
Tonight
Some "Actors from the London Stage" will be right here on campus as part of
the Festival of Arts. And it's put on by the School of Arts and Humanities.
Imagine that. Some culture! Stoppard this Evening, a selection from Tom
Stoppard's award winning plays will be the evening's entertainment. Get
there early, cuz there are a limited number of free tickets available to students
first come, first served. May the strong survive! John Wright Theatre, 8p.m.
A group of people who know how to play different musical instruments will
likely play some song3. The Houserockors make another one of their semi-
regular appearances in Fresno's beautiful Tower District. Bon Apetit! Wild
Blue, 9:30p.m.
Wimpy Dicks, whose adventurous combination of classical Jazz, punk and
heavy metal styles have the entire world by their ear, make a stop in Fresno.
Or maybe that's someone else. Maybe this is a magic act featuring doves
turning into large gorillas, then bursting into green flames as the audience
looks on in total horror. I guess you'd have to see the show to know for sure.
Olympic Tavern, 9 p.m.
Saturday
This band ia some sort of offspring of the Descend en ts—a spin-off, if you
will—like Joanje Loves Chachi. Except they don't call themselves Joanie
Loves Chachi, they cal] themselves AIL They play some o.k. tuneage, dude.
Jump i n the van and head downtown. With Chemical People.O/ef Town Saloon,
9p.m.
They're kind of like the Osmonds, but not really. In fact, they're not like the
Osmonds at all. That's just silly. The musical Btylings of Roger Perry and the
Pleasure Gap will transcend the trials and tribulations of the day—nay—they
will makeitfeelasifthereianosuch thing as bad karma. A must see for your
spiritual health .Olympic Tavern, 9p.m.
Those wacky British actors from yesterday's show are back, this time to
perform King Lear. John Wright Theatre, 8p.m.
Since obviously once in a single weekend is not enough for a band with the
reputation of The Houaerockers, they returneth. Wild Blue, 9:30 p.m.
