No Doubt, whose song “I’m Just A Girl” has received massive MTV airplay, will be the second
opening act for Bush at Tuesday’s show at the Pershing Auditorium. ,
Concert
Continued from Page 9
the second single, “Name,” look olTon
the charts, the band finally saw main
stream success.
“A Boy Named Goo” reflects the
darker side of the Goo Goo Dolls, a
much less pop-oriented album than its
last one, “Superstar Carwash,” which
bore the cult-hit single “We Are The
Normal.”
Guitarist and vocalist Johnny
Reznik said “A Boy Named Goo” was
a more accurate depiction or the band
than previous albums.
“It’s how we sound to ourselves,”
Reznik said.
Their third single from “A Boy
Named Goo,” “Naked,” also has been
doing well.
The Goo Goo Dolls already have
done extensive louring on its own in
small clubs, having made two appear
ances at Omaha’s Ranch Bowl last
year, as well as putting an appearance
in on“Latc Night with Conan O’Brien.”
No Doubt, the other opening act, is
touring in support of its second album,
“Tragic Kingdom,” the first single
being “I’m Just A Girl.” Before tour
ing with Bush, its shared a small club
tour with Everclear.
Doors for Tuesday’s show open at
6 p.m., and the show will start at 7:30.
The show is sold out.
Book Review
By Patrick Hambrecht
Book Critic
Do you hate humanity? Do you
enjoy watching baby animals and
famous cartoon characters suffer?
If so, “Underworld — Cruel and
Unusual Comics” by Kaz is a barrel
full of giggles!
Kaz’s work is a favorite of the
Manhattan pop art scene, and its
easy to understand why. His thick,
black-filled cartoons, which depict
urban hells and quirky personal
depravity, are quintessential of the
New York style shared by Eric
Drooker, Art Spiegclman and oth
ers.
This series of four-panel shorts
are full of cold, bitter venom and
arc as likely to repulse as entertain
the casual reader. Along with art
ists like Chris Ware and Max Can- '
non, Kaz’s work numbs the human
spirit to a new wave of ugly pop
nihilism.
Alternative comics always have
been tracts for outrageous black
humor, but what sets “Under
ground” apart is its lack of even a
defeated humanitarian ideal. While
sorrow and angst is rife through
Robert Crumb and Dan Clowes’
work for the tortured humanity they
portray, “Underground” doesn’t
even rise to mock the failings of
morality.
Instead, both hope or justice arc
nonexistent, as Kaz’s flat charac
ters mainland dismember each other
with a scummy jovial abandon.
These cartoons arc not a protest,
but a simple statement of evil that
anyone with a shred of decency or
optimism will deny.
Which is not to say “Under
world” isn’t funny. These gags arc
often hilarious in the traditional
Dadaist formula of simple destruc
tion over irony. Just like those early
icon-destroyers, Kaz creates a fa
miliar situation and then desecrates
and profanes it to utter meaning
lessness. Just by reading his strip,
we share his sense of angry glee and
acidic contempt for all things real.
Either way, it must really suck to
live in New York.
Music Reviews
The West Angeles Church of God
in Christ Mass Choir and Con
gregation
“Saints in Praise — Their Very
Best”
Sparrow Records
Grade: C
If the Almighty grades on pol
ish, the West Angeles choir is
headed straight for the pearly gates
— maybe they’ll be shot toward
heaven from a rhinestone-studded
cannon at the climax of a Las Vegas
show.
“Saints in Praise — Their Very
Best” is a compilation of 10 tracks
from “Saints in Praise” volumes
one, two and three.
This is joy-only gospel. There is
no hint of sin or sorrow in the West
Angeles choir. They arc Super Prot
estants, ultra-smooth and ultra
eheerlul. Their voices blend into
one voice so huge that 1 was sur
prised it lit in my compact-disc
player.
Thiscnormousquality is the rea
son I like this CD better as music
than gospel. Alter all, gospel is a
music of faith, and a gospel singer
is a preacher. 1 didn’t find it terribly
convincing to be preached at by
what sounded like hundreds of the
most exuberant people on the planet.
Reverence cn masse is probably
not very common, and the choir
sounds as if it is singing just for
yuks.
Fun also seems to be the motiva
tion for the soloists, who whoop
and lilt like supererooners Boy/ II
Men. The “good news” is second
ary to their showy interpretations.
All their bigger-than-lifencssde
tracts from “Back Home Medley,”
a medley of live traditional folk
hymns. African-American spiritu
als arc moving as a rule, but these
interpretations make Christianity
sound about as consequential as
drinking a Diet Coke or using
AT&T.
And the cheesy instrumentation
sounds like the synthesized theme
songs for late 198(Ls- television
shows, which seems to be a prob
lem that plagues the entire Chris
tian recording industry.
“Saints in Praise-Their Very
Best” is sung by those who arc
lucky enough to simply be over
joyed, and only overjoyed, about
faith. It seems more like an adver
tising executive’s idea of gospel
than the real thing.
