Thursday, December 3,1992 Texas A&M University ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT The Battalion Page 4 Local band opens for rap act on Friday By MARSHALL LOVE Feature Writer of THE BATTALION Local dance band Choice of Diction will open a midnight show for the internationally pop ular rap-dance band Snap at the Sundance Club on Friday. The members of Choice of Dic tion are keyboardist and lead vo calist Rob Williamson, 22, gui tarist and keyboardist Brad Grif fith, 23, keyboardist Steve Averitt, 23, and drummer Mike Price, 24. The band's recently released demo tape has received some air play on local radio station KKYS- FM 92.1. Griffith said that of the half- dozen B/CS clubs the group has played, Sundance is best suited for a live Choice of Diction perfor mance. "It's hard for us here (in B/CS) because most clubs are not geared toward dancing and our type of music," Griffith said. "We like Sundance a lot." Williamson said,"We like to play where people can dance, but we usually don't get the chance." Sundance disc jockey Sammy Henderson said Friday's show should be exciting. "Choice of Diction is a quality band," he said. "I've heard their (demo) tape and they've got some great songs to play for us." Griffith said that although Choice of Diction is thankful to be opening for a band as popular as Snap, the band recognizes B/CS's limited market potential. "I definitely want us to break out and play in Houston, Austin and Dallas," Griffith said. "We need to start playing around Texas." Williamson, Griffith and Averitt played together as stu dents at Kingwood High School in Houston about 7 years ago, though the older band was more guitar-oriented than Choice of Diction. "It's really cheap to buy a gui tar, but our major interests have always been in music from bands like Erasure, Depeche Mode and The Cure," Williamson said. The band's recent demo tape shows a trend towards key board/dance oriented music. The tape was recorded in'July after the band won a Stafford Opera House band contest and five hours of free recording time at a local studio. . Williamson said hearing their own music on the radio is a strong incentive for the band. Choice of Diction will openfoi the rap band Snap on Friday. "I've never felt so good as when I hear us on the radio," h( said. "And I definitely wantto feel more of it." ^ cC' ^7 ^ CAA* ft' Information is provided by the individual nightclubs and is subject to change. ‘TPtoc&tc Gallery Bar College Station Hilton, 801 E.
