Austin bands will play in Rumours
u Hello, I'm calling from At
Ease at Texas A&M, may I
speak to Steve Crider or Kim
Hayes?”
“Uh, I'm sorrv — they're out
back jammin’,” says their har
ried roommate. 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
