Reggae, rock band's
future looks briaht
REGGAE from page 5
so it’s radio friendly,” Gopie said.
Both Gopie and Erikkson
believe that deep down, every
body likes reggae music, which is
at the heart of Dred I Dread’s
sound. However, Gopie said,
“most people just don’t under
stand reggae music" and so they
can appreciate the American
influences and look of the band.
“With Dred I Dread, at least
they see people they can relate to,”
Gopie said.
“We’re a diverse band - white,
black, young, old, male and
female,” Erikkson added.
Breaking through the image of
a "local band,” Dred I Dread will
be touring New York in October
and hitting the west coast in
January.
"We’re venturing out of our
comfort zone to test the waters to
spread the music,” Gopie said.
In the meantime, the winner
of the Minnesota Music
Academy’s “Best Reggae Band for
2000” award can be seen tonight
in their second appearance at The
Zoo Bar at 9 p.m.

Smoke-filled air completes aura
HARPER from page 5
sometimes rare: in our era of cor
porate boy bands.
It was refreshing to see per
formers emotionally involved in
superb and challenging music
and having as good of a time as
their fans.
The City Market fostered an
atmosphere that encouraged
fans and performers to interact
and entertain each other.
In northern Kansas City, the
market is lined with small shops
that sold T-shirts, bananas, beer
and much more.
Fans mingled happily with
one another in the communal
environment, which was sprin
kled with hippies, yuppies and
everything in-between.
The entire audience followed
Harper on his musical journey
from covers of Led Zeppelin’s
“Whole Lotta Love,” Marvin
Gay’s “Sexual Healing” and Jimi
Hendrix’s “Manic Depression.”
Bass player Oliver Charles
provided rich bass lines
throughout and helped out with
vocals in the soulful version of
“Sexual Healing.”
Amid the musical experi
ments, Harper played a brief
solo acoustic set that included a
moving rendition of “Another
Lonely Day.”
Harper was at home alone
on the stage, eyes closed, singing
from the depths of his heart.
At times, it felt as though
Harper would rather have the
audience sitting next to him,
singing along, rather than stand
ing in front.
. Watching Ben Harper and
the Innocent Criminals boldly
explore their music was amaz
ing.
What was even better,
though, was that they invited
their audience to follow along on
the trip.
Harsh words speak honest message
RAPVHU £.___
rwbini numpayc j
He recites slang words the
young boy hears in reference to
his ethnic background.
He talks about how the boy
works until 2 a.m.( then is forced to
go to school the next day and learn
about historic figures like the
Pilgrims, who have no relevance
to his historic background.
The poem ends with Rivera
working a janitorial job on the 4th
of July while people celebrate a
fireworks display outside.
The poem closes with the
words, “While the band plays
“God Bless America,” Humberto
Rivera scrubs the shit from corpo
rate toilets and ponders if he is
thankful for being in America.”
Another poem, titled “Taco
Bell Chihuahua,” was written by
Pinate in reference to a commer
cial in which the Chihuahua is
mocking the image of the Latin
revolutionary, Che Guevarra.
The poem ends with the ghost
of Guevarra firing five rounds into
7 have art as an outlet A lot of young cats don’t
have that.”
Marc Pinate
_ slam poet
the Chihuahua. The dead dog is
then thrown on the BBQ.
His final words are Guevarra
saying, “Yo, fuck that shit, homes
... I didn’t die to be a marketing
gimmick.”
Pinate explained his message
to the class before and after each
poem.
He described the humiliating
experience of being pulled over
for DWB (driving while brown)
and having to lie face down on die
ground.
His work is how he controls his
rage from such experiences.
“I have art as an outlet,” he
said. “Alot ofyoung cats don’t have
that”
His messages are strong and
sound angry, but he doesn’t want
his message to be misinterpreted.
“I’m not an angry militant; I
just want to make life better for
everyone,” he said.
“I’m offering things for you to
peruse and make your own judg
ments about”
As for his experience in
Lincoln, Pinate said it was posi
tive, although he was performing
for a different audience than what
he is used to.
He said often times, there
won't be one white person in the
audience.
“It’s been a very positive expe
rience,” he said. “I don’t perform
for white audiences often.
“It's been refreshing to come
somewhere that is so different
from where I come from.”
Face To Face has never
received the love from the suits
that decide what music should
grace their radio airwaves.
So the southern California
punk rock group knew they had
to resort to other means to gain
a following.
They toured rigorously,
gained an audience and now
have become the Green Bay
Packers of the music industry,
with their fans making major
decisions about the group’s
musical releases.
Face To Face let their fans
choose all the songs that went
on their latest CD,
“Reactionary,” in a vote con
ducted on mp3.com.
“First and foremost, we
want to know what our fans
think.," vocalist and guitarist
Trever Keith said in a press
release. “We want them to
decide on the album what they
want to hear.”
Tonight, the four man group
will be making a tour stop in
Omaha at the Ranch Bowl.
Playing with Face to Face is
Alkaline lYio, Newfound Glory
and Save the Day.
Tickets for the 8:30 p.m.
show are $13.50 at the door.
Life on the road isn’t new to
Keith, who is the only one of the
four current members to be
with the band when it was
formed in 1991.
Face To Face has been head
lining tours for the past five or
six years.
"Reactionary,” came out in
surprising quickness after their
1999 production "Ignorance Is
Bliss.”
Amazingly, it took the group
only a month to crank out
“Reactionary.”
“We wanted to keep it mov
ing and keep it fresh and excit
ing,” Keith said. “So, it’s a very
live-feeling album, and it’s also
| Pred I Dread
] a more developed sound for the
band.”
