Guess who’s coming to town — it’s Billy Goat! Fresh off an East Coast tour and boasting of a new live album, the p-funk band-o-fun will take to the familiar stage at the Stafford Opera House Saturday night. Some old Goat fans may be a bit reluctant to drive downtown and pay about $7 to see a band that has a higher turnover rate than the Dallas Mavericks coaching staff. So maybe the following material will help them decide. Question: Who is Billy Goat now? According to Zac Baird, Billy Goat’s key boardist, this incarnation of the band is the best offspring of the ever-evolving tribal lifeblood. “This is the Billy Goat now and we are on a very cool trip,” he said. “Everyone remembers a particular version of Billy Goat. But all of the former members left on their own because they had other things they wanted to do. Maybe people expect to see a certain version of the band but this version of Billy Goat is kick ing ass.” Question: Who are the members? Billy Goat still has two of the founding members — the notorious lyricist Mike Dillon remains on percussion and vocals, and the god dess of props, Kim Pruitt, carries on with dance and an increased vocal role. The rest of the lineup is Baird, formerly with Whitey, Steve Roehm on drums, Syd Madden on guitar and he said. “We still care about Texas I concentrating on playing nationally! did 200 shows last year. Most bands I that, but we are getting real populari places. You wouldn’t think of BillyGj DcMoines, Iowa, but we are the there right now. "We like playing in Texas butithasli hard to get people to respond there. 1 they will react to our new sound." Question: What is the band’s news Baird said the band still performs all material of f Bush Roaming Mammals,I have written a good deal of new matetii has generated a positive response on t “We have our own thing going,”tt “People are really getting into it. we have this kind of Miles Davis jazzs 7 mg. he sm| Billy Goat Mod Seth Moody on bass. Question: Where has the Native Texas been? Baird said this version of Billy Goat has cated to Lawrence, Kan. “We are still involved with the Texas sc hand relo- ene,” Baird added that their sound is n of funk, rap, ska and rock. “We have been working with Karl Brave Combo on some new stuff, Question: Now what is this new live Baird said the new album consistsol tracks. Of the 17, 14 are previously un songs, two are old tunes, "F—k Less ’ and “Chef,” and one track is a fail by Kim. The album was recorded ata Lawrence. Billy Goat is now going on its fif There have been at least 40 people in t over the years and every combinatioi band has enjoyed a good deal of: Maybe this one will, too.
