Head East shakes the walls,
thrills Royal Grove crowd
. By Troy Park
Stiff Eej-arter
The lights at the Royal Grove Nile
Club dimmed the smoke-filled dance
floor Tuesday as excited fans rushed to
the front of th3 si?-e. Hie group Kidd
Blitz had just finished playing its two
hour set and excited the crowd for
Head East, the headline act. Members
of the band cense on stage and the roar
became louder. The band tore into its
first number, which thunders fourth
from the huge Marshall stacks flanking
both sides of the stags. Head East had
arrived.
Head East is currently on a Midwest
tour promoting its soon-to-be released
album, "Choice of Weapons." According
to keyboardist and group-leader Eager
' Boyd, the tour has been an excellent
chance to break in new members lead
vocalist J J. Steals, bass player Kurt
Hansen and guitsrist Matt Stewart.
Drummer Steve Houston co-founded
the band with Boyd in the eariy '70s.
The current lineup has played together
for bout one year.
Head Esst hss recorded eight albums,
the most popular cf ?;hkh is the
group's debut effort, "Fist As A Pan
cake," in 1975. The band elso has
enjoyed hit singlts such as "Lcvs Me
Tonight," "Since YoiVs Been Gone"
and "Never Been Any Besson."
Head East met the crowd's expecta
tions; The shew 'was loud Easily hz
The incredible volume gave the feod's
hai'd-driviRg scrj an added intensity
as the group crashed from mm scitg
into the next
J J. Steele's lead veeds mA stage
presence' propelled the group's in
tensity even fsirt&. With one. foot
propped 0Ti a monitor, dressed in tight .
red sp&ndex pants and a Mick and
white stripped vest Steele's gwgst
drenched face reminds cue of Van
KaJen's David Lee loth. Steele is an
excellent fronlman.
Other new members Stewart and
Hansen also stand out. Hansen's bass
lines shook the floor, walls and ceiling.
Stewart is an excellent guitarist.
The biggest response (and big it
was) from the crowd of about 500 came
when Steele announced that the band
would play its biggest hit single "Never
Been Any Reason." The people went
wild and so did Head East.
