College Station audiences will get a taste of
"peace and Humptiness forever" when MSC
Town Hall presents hip-hop masters Digital Un
derground in their first local appearance. The
band is scheduled to play Deware Field House
at 7:30 P.M. Friday night.
D.U. are an ever-changing network of some
of the most inventive talents in hip-hop and rap
today. The group first came to fame with their
single, "Doowutchyalike," which featured a
video that became an MTV sensation. That was
closely fc^flov^ed by "The Hurnpty Dance," the
success of which propelled D.U.'s album, "Sex
Packets" into the Top 40 and many critic's "Best
of Year" list.
The band consists of such flamboyant char
acters as Humpty-Hump, 2Pac and Money-B,
Schmoovy-Schmoov, DJ. Fuze, and others.
They feature rap, skits, music, sex, and bizarre
humor. Any group that sees themselves as the
succesors to 70's musical pioneers, P-Funk,
should be something to see.
Tickets for the show are available at Foleys
or the Rudder Box Office and are priced at
$12.00 for students, $14.00 for non-students.
MSC Town Hall hosts Digital Underground tomorrow night at Deware Field House.
Old Ag songwriters return to Bryan-College Station
By Atlantis Tillman
The Battalion
Although the inspirational
porch is no longer around, "This
Old Porch," is alive and well for
most Aggies who will be treated to
both versions of the song this
week with concerts being per
formed by both songwriters.
"Porch," written by former stu
dents Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl
Keen, Jr., captures much of the
beloved culture to be experienced
in going to school at Texas A&M.
But, even if you are not fortunate
enough to have a porch across the
street from the A&M Presbyterian
Church and a guitar to play on
lazy Sunday mornings, you are
sure to enjoy the dynamic perfor
mances given by each artist.
Lyle Lovett returns to Texas
A&M to perform his unique blend
of country and blues Monday
night at Rudder Auditorium.
Lovett has created his own
version of country music with His
Large Band consisting of a cellist,
horn section and a sultry R&B fe
male backup vocalist. His songs
range from lonesome cowboy tales
like "If I Had a Boat" in which
Tonto informs the Lone Ranger,
"Kemo sabe, kiss my ass" and then
floats away in solitude, and sultry
blues numbers like "Here I Am"
and "Crying Shame."
Robert Earl Keen, Jr., who will
perform at Stafford Opera House
Friday night, also considers him
self to be a country singer, but, like
Lovett, doesn't fit the traditional
country sound. Keen is a master
storyteller and brings a folksy,
Texas sound to the Opera House.
Both Lovett and Keen are
worth the ticket price of $10 (avail
able at the MSC box office and Ma
rooned Records, respectively).
Their fresh approach to sohgwrit-
ing will leave you anxious for
even more, making new albums to
be released by each this year well
worth the wait.
Lyle Lovett plays Rudder Auditorium Monday night.
