Brother-sister duo returns to B-CS

By TRICIA MARTINEZ
Staff Writer of THE BATTALION
Siblings? 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

after acts in the Houston music

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").
Let's face it: This isn't
Hall" or "Manhattan," twoeaifej
Allen films that deal withlk
problems associated with being:
relationships.
But it is Woody Allen through anti-ab(
out, and as always contains sont
interesting com men tar)) ate’
how people make it through#
world, what draws them to
and what keeps them going.
It's a shame that this filmwil
be compared to Allen's real-life 6 '-
complications, because this
good enough to stand on its own
merits.
Taken in context of Allen's olh
er works, "Husbands and Wives
is just another piece (albeitcm
that doesn't fit perfectly) in#
crazy jigsaw puzzle wecallhii-
man life.
