According to band member Dave
Sullivan, Trout Mystery’s style is
“pop” with a twist. Although the
band’s music has some notoriety,
Sullivan said the music is not sugar

music one hears on the radio.
“You can’t like it (the music)
right away, but it grows on you,”
Sullivan said.
Looking towards the future, Sulli

other recording and wants to eventu

likes Lincoln and the Lincoln alterna

“That makes me feel like we’re
good.”
Trout Mystery will feature two
opening acts which have yet to be
announced.
Show time is at 9 p.m. and the
cover will be $2.

f lap showcases
wonderful talents
of great dancers
By Kelly Anders
Staff Reporter
For anyone who appreciates good,
hoofin’ and a refreshing story,
“Tap” is the film to see. The sto
ryline is believable and entertaining
and the dancing is superb.
As the film begins Max Washing
ton (Gregory Hines) is about to be re
leased from prison. He was sent there
for pulling some “jobs” and kept
there longer for beating up a guard --
Max has a terrible temper.
After he’s released, he returns to
the seedy New York City neighbor
hood where he grew up. The area
crawls with adult theaters and ragged
buildings.
He gets a job as a dishwasher and
moves into ihc Clark Hotel, a run
down joint in the area. Across the way
is Sonny’s Side of the Street, a tap
school and residence full of memo
ries for Max.
Inside Sonny’s live Amy (Suz
/anne Douglas), her adorable teen
age son Lewis (Savion Glover) and
several elderly men. Included among
the men, all lap dancing greats, are
Sammy Davis Jr., as Amy’s father,
Little Moc, and Sandman Sims as
Sandman.
Max goes over to Sonny’s to re
ignite sparks between himself and
Amy and to practice lap. Moc has
other ideas for Max.
Moe wants to try a project that
mixes rock music and tap dancing.
He considers Max the only dancer
good enough to help him.
Meanwhile, the crooks Max
worked’ ’ with before he was sent to
prison want him to join them again
for more “jobs.”
Between the Henry LcTang’scho
reography and improvisation by
Hines, the dancing was excellent.
Every move the dancers made was
flawless. It was especially surprising
how spry the older men were. They
had moves as complex as those of
Hines and Glover.
Two of the best scenes in the film
were the lap “challenge” and street
dance scenes.
In the challenge scene, Hines ac
cuses the older men of having “no
legs,” which means he’s saying they
can’t dance anymore. They prove
him wrong — and then some. The
dance between Hines and Davis Jr., in
the scene was especially good.
Also memorable was the street
dance scene. People danced on all
sorts of surfaces. Construction work
ers watched and a bongo {Mayer sit
ting at the bus stop even joined in.
In addition to the story and danc
ing, the cinematography was first
rate and enhanced every scene. The
camera movements and shots com
bined with the stark and strong im
ages and colors were a visual treat.
