Guitarist Ci eedgives experience, not concert
By Michael Deeds

Jimi Hendrix is dead, but the fuzzed
out, brain-dead, guitar splatter that he
made so famous has never been more
alive.
Or demented.
Amphetamine Reptile recording
artist Helios Creed regurgitated a
cosmos of distortion, feedback and
echoes to a moshing melee of fans
Wednesday night at Duffy’s, 1412 0
St.
Creed, who was backed by a simple
bassist and drummer, took his guitar
and twisted it into an instrument of
aural torture, playing countless tunes
from his latest release, “The Last
Laugh.”
Creed is an effects monger — he
runs his guitar through a pile of Rat
and MXR boxes, ranging from simple
distortion to chorus and echoes.
What comes out of the PA is a
jungle of sound that descends on the
audience like a crashing DC-10.
Though the band could have been a
little louder, Creed still managed to
get his intense point across to the
Duffy’s crowd, which gave a show
itself.
Creed, the eternal burnout, is not a
spcedmctal or hardcore guitarist by
any means. He is known best for his
work in the mammoth grunge band,
Chrome.
Bui a mosh pit developed, any
way. About 10 crazed fans slammed
sporadically during the entire show,
like they thought they were watching
Slayer.
Creed seemed to get an evil kick
out of this and only played more
strangely. At times, he played songs
conostf.
not by strumming the strings, but by
playing a chord, then bending over
and twisting knobs on his effect pile,
which altered the sound into a musi
cal vomit.
His vocals were not a high point of
the evening, but that is irrelevant;
Creed fans arc into the guitar and the
metamorphisis he forces on the hap
less instrument.
Trying to remember a Creed show
song by song is useless. Creed pro
vides an experience, not a concert.
The only thing Creed can be criti
cized for is pushing his albums a little
too much at the show. Announcing
that albums are for sale once is fine,
but after every few songs it gets old.
Oh well, if selling a few albums
will keep gas in the lank, so be it.
HeliosCreed is something every town
should get to see.

Tonight and Saturday, The Re
mainders will play at the Zoo Bar,
136 N. 14th St.
The Remainders recently were
voted one of Chicago’s best bands by
the Chicago Tribune. But it doesn’t
matter what the papers say. The
Remainders arc one of the greatest
proponents of “gumbo-rock” outside
of Louisiana, as well as a top-notch
dance band. Gumbo-rock is the spicy
musical hybrid - featuring elements
of zydcco, cajun two-steps, New
Orleans R&B and straight ahead rock
‘n’ roll -- that audiences across the
country can’t seem to get enough of
these days. The Remainders garnish
their sound with a little classic coun
try and calypso. The common de
nominator here is dance rhythms. This
is a band that inspires audiences to
new levels of bacchic revelry.
Saturday, Nile Heal, a local, ’60s
style, R&B band will join the Land
Sharks and the C Street Gypsies at
Bourbon Street.
Saturday, Charlie Burton and the
Hiccups, Lincoln’s irreverent, zany,
raucous and arguably most popular
rock ‘n’ roll band will play at Barry’s,
235 N. 9th St.
Monday, Mothers Big Band will
play big band and jazz al Bourbon
Street.
Monday, The Table Rockers, fea
turing Annette Murrell, will play at
the Zoo Bar.
Tuesday and Wednesday, Lucky
Seven, a New York hybrid rock band,
will play its aural mosaic of Cajun,
rockabilly, Latin and “roots” rock at
the Zoo Bar. Lucky Seven has re
leased three albums over the last six
years. Rolling Stone says of its most
recent release, “an irrepressibly dance
able debut.” Maybe Rolling Stone
didn’t know about the other two de
but albums before the latest one.
Anyway, the press can’t know every
thing.
Wednesday, The C Street Gypsies
will play at Bourbon Street. Wednes
day night is an open jam session with

Film glosses over aftermath of rape,
redeems itself with intriguing cast
By John Payne #
Staff Reporter
Rape is a subject that certainly
should not be made light of, and al
though Jaime Chavarri’s “I’m the
One You’re Looking For” often docs,
it also succeeds in many other areas.
This 1988 Spanish movie, based
on the story by Gabriel Garcia Mar
quez, is a hodgepodge of bizarre
characters at odds against their own
out-of-place emotions while strug
gling through their empty lives.
Patricia Adrianni plays the victim
Natalia, a beautiful Barcelonian fash
ion model who is raped one night
while giving a stranger a ride home.
She becomes so obsessed with find
ing the man that she nearly spends
every hour of her time roaming the
streets of Barcelona in search of the
stranger.
She enlists the help of her new
friend Matilda (Chus Lampreavc), a
taxi driver who knows the city well,
and together they explore the seedy
night life of drug-pushers, cabaret
goers and thieves.
It is there they find Teo “The
Salamander,” an erotic cabaret dancer
who befriends the two, becoming both
their scout and protector. The un
likely friendship that develops among
these three very different people is
the best thing about “I’m the One
You’re Looking For.”
What is disturbing about the film,
however, is Nataba’s motives for
seeking out her rapist. It is never
made clear whether she intends to kill
him, or whether her obsession with
him is driven by a sexual desire. This
