I Entertainment That’s Heads & Tails Above The Rest. CCKDT 14-ilAV 1ft Eerie Von, Glenn Danzig, Chuck Biscuits and John Christ of Danzig. Danzig will belt out scorching, heavy metal blues at Sokol Hall or By Michael Deeds Senior Editor_ Def American recording artists Danzig will rock Omaha’s Sokol Hall, 2234 S. 13th St., tonight. Danzig, led by songwriter/vocal ist Glenn Danzig, specializes in a plodding form of gloom blues. The band is touring in support of its latest release, “Lucifuge.” Glenn Danzig’s career began in the early ’80s with a cull punk band, 3hc Misfits, which has become more popular since the band’s demise. He has written tunes played by Metal - lica, and wrote a song for his friend Roy Orbison titled “Life Fades Away,” which Orbison sang on the ‘‘Less Than Zero” soundtrack. After the Misfits broke up, Danzig formed Samhain, keeping bass player Eerie Von. However, the band changed again. Danzig brought Von into the new band, finally called Danzig, but this time enlisted the aid of guitarist John Christ and veteran hardcore drummer ... —1 Chuck Biscuits. Biscuits’ credits in clude work with early Black Flag, D.O.A. and the Circle Jerks. On “Lucifugc,” Danzig has pro gressed from the slow death crawl of the band’s self-tilled debut, now lean ing heavily on the blues. Tunes like “Killer Wolf,” “777” and “I’m the One” drag up memories of Muddy Waters — but also Black Sabbath. Danzig’s vocals draw endless comparisons to Jim Morrison, but he resembles Elvis Presley on songs like “Blood and Tears.” However, anyone going to a Danzig show for ballads is going to be disap pointed. Danzig is one of the most vicious live bands around — intense, loud and cutting. Danzig sings pas sionately while guitarist John Christ rips out blues-filled metal leads. And drummer Chuck Biscuits rivals Lars Ulrich of Mctallica as the hardest hitter around. Opening for Danzig will be Trouble, another Def American band. Tickets for the 8 p.m. show arc $15 at the door. Desperate Continued from Page 9 unfortunately, is not enough to make up for the weak plot and suspension of reality that the audience is asked to believe. It is very hard to believe that Rourke could break out of jail as easily as he is shown doing in the movie. He might as well have said “So long, I’m leaving,” to the guards at the jail, because he walked straight out the door with Nancy Breyers. This is just one of the weak parts of the movie — and unfortunately, it is this weak premiscon which the movie is based. “Desperate Hours” follows in this fall’s trend of sociopath-meets-nice family movies (“Pacific Heights,” for instance.) It seems that everything in the theaters this fall is violent; “Goo dFellas,” “Miller’s Crossing,” “Pa cific Heights” and “Desperate Hours, to name just four, are all full of blood, guts and death. “Desperate Hours” is playing at the Cinema 1 and 2 Theatre, 13th and P streets.
