He's not in the Fisher King band. The Austin band, will be traveling to College Station for a concert in Rumours, 7 p.m., Feb. 23. Thev are joining Texas Instruments, also from Austin, in a MSC Basement Committee sponsored event. Fisher King, has five mem bers — a college graduate, a student, a custom sign maker and a delinquent. They’ve been together for about a year and have played several of the Aus tin clubs. When Haves, the delinquent vocalist, finally got on the phone he described the group like this: “We’re just a bunch of coun- trv bovs here in Austin who love rock ’n roll. You might say we were progressive rock — but evervbodv says that.” The group does all original work written bv Steve Crider, the graduate guitarist. And Hayes says they have a new sound (how many wavs can you make a guitar, a drum, a bass and a voice sound?) . “Highly danceable” was the term he wanted the group and their music to be billed under. But it's only danceable for those who are willing to be subject to change. Also appearing in Rumours on Saturday is Texas Instru ments. Another band from Austin, with an EP to their name and club dates all over the capitol citv under their belts. The}' were written up in The Dailv Texan at the Univer sity of Texas as a garage-psy- chedelic-’60s reuval-countiy- blues-pop band. Apparently the}' can touch on every style at least once in each {perfor mance. Trying to stick this band members into a neat little package and put a label on it is next to impossible and that suits them fine. “The one label we want is not to be labelled at all,” gui tarist David Wood}' says. They played their very first gig at a {party — it was fun. And if it’s fun, do it again. Soon they were on their way to the local night spots and that was fun too. All tickets for the meeting of these two bands in Rumours are $2.50 each A Players open ‘Antigone Creon (Richard Strayer) confronts Anti gone (Dodie Rodger) about her defiance of his orders in a scene from “Antigone.” “‘Antigone' is a successful re telling of a Greek myth,” Dr. Roger Schultz says of the play the Aggie Players open Wednesday, Feb. 28. In “Antigone,” Jean Anouilh recreates the story of the de- scendents of the famed King Oedipus. The play was written and first performed in German occupied Paris during World War II. The adaptation of the original story runs a parallel to the state of affairs in Paris at that time. Anouilh's “Black Plavs,” pre sent the struggle an individual faces when trying to compro mise without sacrificing integ rity. There are no winners. “Antigone,” one of the “Black Plays,” is set somewhere in the modern Western World and deals strongly with the idea of compromise and sacrifice. A ci\il war that began in Thebes ends when the leaders, Polvnices and Etocles kill each other in battle. The two are brothers and the sons of King Oedipus. A new leader, Creon , rises to the top. He was a champion of Etocles and there fore decrees a heros burial for the slain rebel. To make a proper example Anouilh’s “Black Plays” present the struggle an individ ual faces when trying to compromise with out sacrijycing integ rity. There are no winners. “Antigone,” one of the “Black Plavs,” is set some- where in the modem Western World and deals strongly with the ideas of compro mise and sacrifice. of the other son, Creon declares that Polvnices will be left un buried as bait for the jackels and buzzards. This treatment of a body assures that the soul will suffer forever. Antigone, Polvnices' sister, follows sacred law' and defies the edict, the secular law. She buries her brother. An enraged Creon locks horns with Anti gone and so begins mortal combat. Her lover, Haemon (the son of Creon) and her sis ter Ismene please for a com promise. To no avail. Anti gone’s idealism and Creon’s depraved sense of compromise form the struggle typical in Anouilh’s plays. The production is directed by theatre professor Robert Wenck. Alan Donahue and Shawn Brown have designed the settings and costumes. “Antigone” wall be presented Feb. 28 through March 2 in Rudder Theater. Admission is $4 for the general public and S3 for students. Tickets are available at the Rudder Center box office. The final production for the Aggie Players this spring will be Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman’s “You Can't Take it With You.” The stoiy of the Sy camore family will end the sea son with good humor. They are an odd lot in a laughable way — fire cracker manufacturers and the proud owners of a printing press in the basement. The Kirby fam ily however isn't as fond of the peculiar. The romance between Alice Sycamore and Tony Kirby is the tie that binds the strange and the wonderful A
