Let’s Go Bowling set to roll into Omaha
BOWLING from page 12
like the people out there, so there’s no
reason why we shouldn’t”
Miskulin said the tour with the
Reverend was both positive and chal
lenging for LGB because the band
wasn’t playing in front of ska crowds.
“We were playing to the fans of the
Reverend, and a lot of times there
would be crossover fans,” he said. “We
knew we had to be really good, so we
decided that we weren’t going to take
any prisoners.
“It worked out really well, and the
audiences were very accepting of us.”
Opening for the Skatalites was a
treat for the members of LGB because
they all like die band and have a lot of
respect for diem, Miskulin said.
“It was very cool just because of
who they are - so much history, you
know,” he said. “Without those guys,
who knows what we’d be playing.
We’d be some kind of funk band some
where.”
Along with English second-wave
ska band The Specials, Miskulin said,
the Skatalites are one of the bands that
helped influence LGB’s unique brand
of ska.
“The thing with all the guys in the
band is that everybody likes so many
different things,” he said. “The one
common music that everybody likes is
ska, and so I think what helps define
our sound and who we are is that we
bring all of our individual influences
to the one influence that’s common
with everybody.”
Being a contemporary ska act
from the United States, Let’s Go
Bowling’s style is characterized as
new-wave ska, or third-wave.
However, Miskulin said, he once
heard a description of die band’s sound
that was a little more accurate.
“Somebody once called us mod
ern traditionalists, and I thought,
‘Wow, what an oxymoron that is,”’ he
said. “But then the more I thought
about it, I guess that would be kind of
an accurate description.
“We don’t want to turn our back on
the traditional stuff; we want to incor
porate it, yet we want to do something
new that hasn’t been done before.”
But in the Midwest, Miskuiin said,
style doesn’t hold as much weight
with audiences. And that’s the way he
likes it, he said.
“The East and West Coasts are
kind of getting polarized in the kind of
music that they’ll listen to and the kind
of ska that they’ll listen to,” he said.
“And I find the Midwest audiences
more accepting of all the styles of ska
that are out there right now.”
Let’s Go Bowling’s members write
a lot of instrumental songs, and the
guys in the horn section create most of
those, Miskuiin said. Fletcher, LGB’s
keyboardist, also writes some instru
mental tunes as well as the occasional
song with vocals.
Basically every song that Miskuiin
writes is going to be a vocal tune, he
said, because he likes to sing.
Something else Miskuiin likes to do is
play the harmonica, which he started
playing at die age of 19.
“It’s a cool instrument that not a lot
of people utilize, and it has so much
history in rock ’n’ roll and blues,”
Miskulin said. “When I was asked to
join (LGB), they said, ‘We really like
the idea that you play the harmonica,
too.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, cool,’
’cause I wasn’t gonna do it if I could
n’t”
With a name like Let’s Go
Bowling, one might think the mem
bers would try to bowl every chance
they could get. But Miskulin’s last
bowling score, which was a lowly 78,
disproves that theory.
“Unfortunately, because we’re on
the road so much, we don’t really get a
chance to (bowl),” he said. “It’s kind of
fun when we do, ’cause we go out and
usually drink a lot and yell at each
other and throw balls around.
“The thing about it is, we all suck.”
Let’s Go Bowling’s concert in
Omaha with opening act the Self
Righteous Bros, begins at 9 p.m. on
Tuesday at the Ranch Bowl, 1600 S.
72nd St Tickets for the all-ages show
are still available and cost $8 in
advance ami $9 the day of the show.
‘City of Angels’
fails to make
successful flight
ANGELS from page 12
And even though Cage didn’t have
a lot to work with for a plot, his por
trayal was very weak. He goes through
the entire film with a confused, blank
stare that doesn’t change no matter
what situation he finds himself in.
Ryan does a decent job, but she
doesn’t really convey the type of love
for Cage that would be necessary to
bring an angel to earth for good. Sure
she’s sexy, but one would hope angels
had a little more self-control than to
ditch heaven for someone they barely
knew. -r
The only redeeming factor of this
film is the bits of comedy here and
there. However, the funny scenes can’t
combat the inconsistent details and the
shallow plot of this movie.
