Fastball’s success even sweeter > with new name, upcoming tour FASTBALL from page 12 release of his new album later this month. Both bands will play the Royal Grove, 340 W. Comhusker Highway, cm Tuesday night. The power-pop trio from Austin, Texas, was formed in July 1994, when Tony Scalzo (bass/ vocals), Joey Shuffield (drums) and Zuniga were introduced by mutual friends. In early 1996, they were signed to Holly wood Records, changed their name to Fastball and started recording their debut record, which would eventually be named “Make Your Mama Proud.” “It took us a month to record it and mix it,” Zuniga said, “which is pretty fast, I guess. The songs were from the first songs we learned as a band to the point where I was writing lyrics 10 minutes before I would sing them.” Since then, Zuniga saidv Fastball has come Movie illustrates friendship, loyalty BRASCO from page 12 vantage, and he must maneuver his way into the group with quick bursts of violence and unflinching loyalty. Dynamically blurring the lines between good and bad, Lefty ultimately becomes the tru est friend Brasco has ever had, while Brasco himself is the traitor and the killer. He has all but abandoned his family, and the FBI can no longer predict his movements. Essentially, it is a movie about a man who has gone too deep. He alienating his wife and kids and frustrates the FBI agents who are ready to break open the operation. Brasco straddles the line between the mafia and his former life. “Donnie Brasco” is the unflinching story of a man’s deep friendship and utter betrayal, who inihe process nearly loses his family, job, and most importantly, his own identity. a long way, evolving and maturing as mem bers played the songs more and more. Zuniga was hesitant to put their music into a class, however. “We’re a combination of ’50s and ‘60s mu sic played very violently,” Zuniga said. Fastball is currently touring with Matthew Sweet, who is featured on their album playing the polymoog. ‘We share the same manager and we asked ' him if he could do it, and he said yes,” Zuniga said, “and we asked him if we could go on tour with him and he said yes. He’s a really good guy.” After Sweet’s warm-up tour wraps up, Fastball will go on tour alone. Fastball will open for Sweet at the Royal Grove on Tuesday. The doors will open at 8 p.m. and the show will start at 9. Tickets are $13 in advance, $15 on the day of the show. U2 avoids aging, surpasses old style POP from page 12 Dead Man” would have seemed extravagant on any other U2 release; but they approach minimalism here, with sparse melodies and highly played vocals carrying the tunes to beautiful fruition. Meanwhile, songs such as “Mofo” and “Discotheque” let the techno-mania shine through, featuring heavy beats and sonic layers upon sonic layers. “Miami” is the most effective of these songs, with musical and lyrical madness combined to create a swirling mass of sound and effect that U2 hasn’t reached since “God Part II.” When U2 takes the helm of the electronic noise that has been kept underground (at least in America) for the past few years, they actually bring credibility to the idea that this music could be the next big thing in this country. In other words, they lend personal ity and spirituality to a genre that usually wallows in mechanical repetition and per ceived emotions. — Jeff Ramlall I t 1 I a * 1 \ t I l 1 t I I I I M M %af! 3 ‘Ttfe wau wmcs were meant to #er !{ Summer Sessions ’97 Need a course to graduate?
