Bluegrass Antic The Austin Lounge Lizards return to B/CS, fighting to maintain their irreverence By William Harrison The Battalion Bluegrass does not describe the Austin Lounge Lizards in the strictest sense of the word. However, the band has taken great pains to not be described in any strict sense. How could you classify a band that plays Pink Floyd’s “Brain Damage” with a banjo? “We don’t have a set rule or pattern,” lead guitarist Conrad Deisler said. “One day we were sitting around playing ‘Brain Damage,’ and Tom (Pittman) joined in on banjo. “We thought, ‘Hey, this would make a pretty good bluegrass song.’” The band, formed in 1980, re lies on bluegrass rhythm, but in cludes in their repertoire any thing from country ballads to Cajun revelry. But their reputation is staked primarily in their satirical lyrics and music, swiping at country and bluegrass icons. — Or anything else they can find. With songs such as “Put the Oak Ridge Boys in the Slam mer” to “Life is Hardest whet you are Dumb” the band ha: carved its irreverent reputati® touring across the United State and parts of Canada. “We make fun of everythin; we do,” F’ittman said. But after making music touring for fourteen years, hi said: “It’s a band we all believe ia,’ • The Austin Lounge Lizards • Performing at The Stafford Opera Houst • Friday, June 18atS p.m. JAMMOT A Who's Who' of wily bluegrass legends stocks Crary's 'Jammed If Do' By William Harrison The Battalion “Jammed If I Do” Dan Crary Bluegrass Sugar Hill Records When Earle Flatt, Lester Scruggs and other bluegrass musicians popularized bluegrass music in the 1930s and 40s, they must have been on the 71 yfUSIC REVIEW samt : P a ^ e that Dan Crar y _/ I'jf: today. “Jammed if I Do” plays music and a few bytes of dialogue between Crary and the many guest artists that join his studio band. To the unaccustomed ear, Crary’s songs bend around a simple, but earnest bass line. Crary and his musicians take turns weaving smoothk agile traditional and contemporary bluegrass mi sic, and it’s surely as fresh and pleasant as Kentucky summer’s day. For the bluegrass-oriented Austin Lounff Lizards, Crary poses an easily recognizable am respected name - a “thinking man’s guitar “He’s one of the virtuosos, for all the pits.’ freaks out there,” Austin Lounge Lizard guitari;: Conrad Deisler said. “You can expect some pretty sophisticated sic from him - he’s one of the best flat-picking giii tarists in bluegrass today.” Flatt and Scruggs would be proud. JW IDVIE REVIEWS A ‘Slick’ sequel By Jennifer Gressett The Batealion “City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly’s Gold” Starring: Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern, Jon Lovitz and Jack Balance Directed by Paul Weiland Rated PG-13 Playing at Schulman 6 and Hollywood USA The myth of the failing sequel as an attempt to swindle audiences has proven to be more than just fool’s gold in “City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly’s Gold.” In the film, Billy Crystal and Daniel Stem climb back into the saddle to pursue yet another hilarious westward venture. A year has passed since their first cattle drive and several changes have taken place. Life for Mitch (Crystal) seems to be better than ever with his new jogging partner/pet cow, Norman, and his promotion at the radio station. He has even given his friend Phil (Stem) a job to help him start anew. Besides, Phil returning to his ex-wife would be like “breaking back into Alcatraz.” However, Mitch’s birthday is unexpectedly turned on its ear with the sudden visit of his brother Glen (Lovitz). Glen is “the vice presi dent of lazy,” but somehow the brothers cope, and Glen becomes the third amigo in the sequel - filling the boots of the original’s Bruno Kir by. Their Wild West adventure begins when Mitch finds a hidden treasure map in the hat Curly left him. Together the three saddle up their horses (and cellular phones) to find the gold “in them there hills.” To their surprise, they aren’t the only ones after the treasure. Curly’s twin brother Duke (Palance) joins in the hunt, finally revealing “the one thing” his brother kept secret. As the four uncover the clues leading to the gold, they must make sacrifices sure to test their friendship, as well as their morals. What follows is a two- hour comedy that will make your ribs ache. Director Paul Weiland i? successfully combines the elements of comedy and nature to create wild western humor. And as usual, Crystal’s humor and production adds to the success of the film as one of the summer’s best comedies. For fans of the original “City Slickers,” this film is sure to deliver a laugh almost as loud as the first. But beware: the fever for gold may be catching — the end leaves it wide open for an other sequel. ‘Speed’ big on action, short on acting By Paul Neale The Battalion “Speed” Starring Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, Sandra Bulock, Joe Morton and Jeff Daniels Directed by Jan De Bont Rated R Playing at Hollywood USA Looking for an action flick that’ll sustain your pulse at aerobic workout levels for al most two hours? Well, look no further. This summer’s first action movie, “Speed,” goes from 0-50 mph and doesn’t let up. Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves), a fearless, quick thinking Los Angeles police man on SWAT detail, goes up against a maniacal, mad bomber, Howard Payne (Den nis Hopper), After Traven foils Payne’s attempt to collect several mil lion dollars of ransom in a hostage situation, Payne tries a new, improved approach. He rigs a city bus with a bomb that arms itself at 50 mph, detonat ing if the bus slows down. Creative, huh? Dennis Hopper (left) holds Jeff Daniels (middle) and Keanu Reeves (right) in check during the action movie “Speed.” A freak mishap on the bus lands Annie (Sandra Bullock) in the driver’s seat and leaves Traven to navigate. Annie’s speeding tendencies (she’s rid ing the bus because her license has been revoked) and her opti mism comes in handy on the mass transit time bomb. F'ortunately, Reeves’ dry performance doesn’t handicap the movie too much. Such scenes as Traven con soling Annie during the har rowing bus ride sound some what unnatural and insincere. Ted, rather Reeves, might have had an easier time with “Whoa dude, this mess is really bo gus.” He does well with action, however, it’s his acting that needs work. Playing the part of a neurot ic man robbed by the System, Hopper turns in a believably diabolical performance. This fast-paced film doesn’t have any substantial lulls in it. In fact, the film takes several sudden, high-speed turns. And in keeping with action movie protocol, “Speed’s” ten sion-breaking one-liners offer some light-hearted moments. So if your summer could use a change of pace, and you aren’t pregnant and don’t have a heart condition, “Speed” is an entertaining ride.
