Yes. Rivalry? Not a chance. Sibling rivalry is not a prob lem with Trish and Darin Mur phy. The brother-sister musical duo from Houston will once again entertain the crowd at Stafford Opera House Friday night. This will mark the third ap- g earance for Trish and Darin at tafford and Trish Murphy said she is very excited. "We really can't wait," Trish said. "Stafford Opera House has such dedicated fans to live music that it's just a fantastic feeling to pl % e duo has been playing reg ularly for the past two years and has won a reputation as one of the most promising and sought- after acts in the Houston music Trish and Darin perform at Stafford Opera House Friday night. scene. "I think it's because we really enjoy playing together," Trisn said. "It's a real unique situation for Darin and me because we are so close in age and we have a fantastic rapport not only as peo ple, but as songwriters." Songwriting is definitely something that Trish and Darin do well. They released their first album, "Yes We're Open," nine months ago and its sales are go ing way beyond most local inde pendent projects, according to Cactus Records in Houston. "When we collaborate it's re ally beautiful," Trish said. "Right now we are concentrating on writing songs for a second CD." Trish plays acoustic guitar and Darin plays electric guitar. Behind Trish and Darin are other top-notch performers in cluding Wes Bedell on bass and John Gremillion on drums. When the group performs they concentrate on a solid blend of classic rock and basic origi nals. We choose the covers we lay very carefully," Trish said. fe really enjoy playing classic rock." T.C. Nguyen, promotions co ordinator at Stafford, is looking forward to Trish and Darin's performance. "They are really a fun band,' Nguyen said. "Tney have devel- opea a good following real fast and I think it's because they not only sound great, but they are a lot of fun to watch and they are so full of energy." Trish and Darin have been known to put comedy in their act, but no matter how funny the stunts may be nothing will out do the harmony that's heard when the duo sings. The duo said the crowd can exp>ect a full two-hour show Fri day and they will cover a blend of classic rock ranging from Jef ferson Airplane to Jams Joplin to some of their basic originals, f "The crowd can expect a large feeling of euphoria followed by a slight tingling in their lower extremities,^ Darin said. Zsu Zsu's Petals will open for Trish and Darin. The doors will open at 8 p.m.. TV Allen film goes beyond tabloids with message By TIMM DOOLEN Special to THE BATTALION "Husbands and Wives" Starring Woody Allen, Mia Far row and Sydney Pollack Directed by Woody Allen Rated R Now playing at Schulman 6 Woody Allen breaks up with Mia Farrow and makes a pass at a woman half his age. It sounds like the tabloids, but it's Allen's new film, "Husbands and Wives." Allen plays a literature profes sor married to Farrow, who works for an architectural magazine. They start to question their mar riage when two of their best friends separate. Farrow goes for a slightly younger man at work, while Allen becomes interested in a much younger woman in one of his lit erature classes. The film is filled with humor ous interludes while keeping in context the serious subject of how relationships work, don't work, come together and fall apart. The most distinctive aspect of this film is its visual style -. Allen shoots the whole, film in annoying cinema verity style, marked by shaky cameras and jum'p-cuts. We are in the room with the characters, seeing the most inti mate details of their lives. That's interesting for the first ten minutes, but after an hour and 45 minutes, it really becomes dis tracting. Allen is above such stunts. He also includes an off-camera interviewer asking the major play ers questions, which they answer just as if you were watching some PBS documentary. But the subject matter is nothing you'd find on PBS, as they delve into some very personal, private details. The best part is the very low- key humor interspersed through out the film. Allen includes some good one- liners ("Life doesn't imitate art, life imitates bad television"), and interesting peeks into the human psyche. One sequence comparing a sperm's fight for the ovum to men's struggle for women is truly inspired, and harks back to some of Allen's earlier musings ("Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid to Ask").
