witnessed a decline in breeding and
selling Arabians.
“When the club started, we bred
and sold multimillion dollar horses,”
she says. “Now we’re in it just to en
joy ourselves and we’re not breeding
as much.”
Amy Simpson, a junior at A&M
Consolidated, got involved in riding
through her father who is a professor
in the veterinary school.
“I’ve been riding ever since I was
bom,” she says.
Simpson attributes her riding
awards, like the showmanship award
she won "in B.A.R.B.’s Spring
Show, to her horse’s easy-going per
sonality.
“He’s more like a person than a
horse,” she says. “When 1 call him
by name, he runs up to me, and he
loves to play.
“Whenever I go out of town and
I’m not out there, he gets really sad
and hangs his head down. He needs
people.”
Since B.A.R.B. is a self-support
ing group which makes money from
teaching classes and organizing
shows, they need people too.
If you’d like to get involved with
the Brazos Arabian Riders and
Breeders, call Claire Shell at 690-

Creed for Rollins Band: Do it
By JOHN RIGHTER
HOUSTON — At the end of “Tearin’ Me
Apart,” an odyssean torrent of unabashed anger, a
eappella howls and punctuating lisi jabs, Henry
Rollins turned to the waiy croud and barked. And
now you know.”
What exactly Rollins expected the Axiom audi
ence to have unearthed within this caustic soul bar
ing is uncertain.
Rabid displays of anger and af fliction are not un
common for the ex-Black Flag and S.O.A. singer,
and now frontman of aggro hot heads Rollins Band
and side project Wartime. Rollins has crafted his ca
reer around suicide-inflicted paens (“Gun In Mouth
Blues”) and a passionate disrespect for modern so
ciety. But the belligerence is bliss Rollins, an intim
idating, muscular specter, put caution and honesty
at the forefront of his aggro doctrine Saturday
night.
Mobbed by the S&M fools upfront, engaged in
another sexually-starved display of mental impo
tence, Rollins shook several of the more demanding
hands thrust in his face, sardonically replying, “You
must be careful who you shake hands with. You
should never shake hands with a stranger, ’cause
you never know if he means to do you harm.”
After the show, Rollins grabbed the proverbial
soap box over a question dealing with honesty and
his ex-label, SST. “You live and practically starve to
death with a group, never knowing if the group is
going to make it or not. Everyday’s a struggle.
“You do this for seven years, and now (Greg Ginn
and Chuck Dukowski of SST) won’t even return a
(expletive) call. Not even a simple (expletive) you. I
would be happy with that."
Engulfed in tattoos that cover both arms, his en
tire back and even the backside of his neck, the
graying Rollins directed his band and hostility with
rapid head twists and piercing arm shots tied to the
music’s fluctuating beats.
Between songs, he conducted f riendly, minor dis
course with the audience, but immediately sunk
back into a violent, attack-like crouch for the next
song. With clenched jaw, coiled microphone choid
held in brass knuckles fashion and cocked, malig
nant glare, Rollins seemed totally oblivious to the
chaos around him. His world was not mine, the guy
next to me oi anyone cjsc in me ^vxiom.
The group (guitarist Chris Haskett, bassist An
drew and drummer Sim Cain) stormed through
“Burned Beyond Recognition,” “Do It" and
“Hard.” The speed lessened while the intensity in
creased during balladesques of fiate, “Down And
Away' and new songs Almost Real” and ‘Out The
re.” Whether fastei or more methodical, the band
successfully channeled the rising tension from one
song to the next.
On a down note, opening sub-pop band, the
Dwarves, were the most god-awful joke of a band
I’ve ever had the misfortune of seeing. Trying to
pull off a mid-’70s punk attitude (but failing miser
ably) with an early ’80s hardcore sound (again fail
ing miserably), the Dwarves were sloppy, insulting
and asinine.
It’s pitiful when a group can’t even perform bad
good. Seeing the Replacements or the Stooges slosh
it up, spit at the audience and fall over one another
was rock history ’cause they had that style, the right
attitude. The Dwarves don’t have shit.
Anyway, I was there to watch Rollins Band, a
group that blows away Black Flag, and is the most
intense live group I’ve ever seen.
If you’re interested in Rollins, keep an eye open
for his first album with bassist Andrew under the
guise of Wartime. The project, a trip into heavy ex-
perimentalism, was released to better music markets
(obviously not here) last week. The four-song EP,
Fast Food For Thought, is on Chrysalis, so it should
arrive here eventually.
Also, Rollins says the band is releasing a live al
bum, Turned On, in two weeks on Touch & Go (the
group has not committed to a move from Texxas
Hotel yet).
The band has always sustained a stronger, more
devout following overseas, especially in Eastern Eu
rope. Before the first song, Rollins apologized to
the crowd for the group’s belated arrival to Texas,
four years in the waiting.
“This band has performed without a lineup
change for almost four years now. We’ve toured Eu
rope four times, Australia two times, Canada many
times and the U.S. too many times. But this is our
first performance in Texas. It’s a long time com
ing.”
Yes, it is, but well worth the wait, and music fans
—now you know.
