D eep Blue Something is returning to College Station tonight to pro mote its first album, Home. The group is on the first leg of a tour that will take it from Texas to the West Coast and then to Europe. The Dixie Theatre and KHLR-103.9 d are sponsoring the show at Denim and Diamonds. Last October, Deep Blue Something made a trip to Col- Station when it played at 3rd Floor Cantina. Toby Pipes, guitarist and vocalist for the band, said the band had a lot of fun. “Last time, there were a lot of peo ple,” Pipes said. “Hopefully, this time it will be pretty cool as well.” Deep Blue Something hails from Denton, where the members met at the University of North Texas. Pipe’s brother Todd is the lead vocalist and bassist; Kirk Tatom is the guitarist, and John Kirtland is the drummer. Success has been kind to Deep Blue Something. Fueled by its first single, ’Breakfast at Tiffanys,” the band has risen to the top of the charts faster an it anticipated. Pipes said he did not expect “Break- it at Tiffanys” to be in rotation as ig as it has. “We thought it would take longer than it has to be successful,” Pipes d. “‘Breakfast at Tiffanys’ has last- almost a full year, and we expected to be on our fourth single by now.” The band’s second single, “Halo,” is starting to receive air play, and Pipes said the band finished a video for the song a month ago. “It is being played on VH-1 now,” Pipes said. “We had a good time, and it was coo,1. It depends on the director, fat we were lucky because we had somebody that was really laid back.” The group is coming off of a two-week stint of rest and relaxation. Pipes said the rest was needed, but the band members are starting to get a little bored. “We are used to being out on the road,” Pipes said. “After a while, we are ready to get back out. It kind of aicks to just sit around.” The group has played outside of its native Texas. Pipes said no matter where the band plays, it can find fans who are from Texas. “Everyone has this thing about Texas like it is in its own world,” Pipes said. “But we’ve found that Texas, Massachusetts and New York are the coolest areas. Everyone thinks Texas is not hip, but when we get out they see that it can be hip. It seems like no Matter where you are, people who are Stew Milne, The Battai.ion Todd Pipes, vocalist and bassist of Deep Blue Something, plays at 3rd Floor Can tina during a concert last October. from Texas stick to their own groups.” Pipes said the band is ready to play in Europe. “We will be in Europe until Septem ber or October,” Pipes said. “The CD is doing well in other countries. We ex pected to do a lot better in Europe be cause of the type of music we play.” While in Europe, the group will play in a variety of music festivals. Pipes said that while the band is trying to branch out to other audiences, it still enjoys playing for college crowds. “I don’t see us in an arena tour for another year,” Pipes said, “so we have something to look forward to.” Cher and Palminteri create unique chemistry in Faithful Chaz Palminteri plays Tony, a hitman hired to kill Margaret (Cher), in Faithful. Movie Review Faithful Starring Cher, Ryan O’Neal and Palminteri Directed by Paul Matursky . - * *★* (out of five) By Amber Clark The Battalion Although the old adage “Money can’t buy happiness” may hold true, it can hire a hit man to off your wife. Based on Chazz Palminteri’s play by the same title, Faithful involves a rich New York City couple marking 20 years of not-so-blissful marriage. Jack (Ryan O’Neal) runs the largest trucking business in the area and spends his money frivolously. Mean while, his manic depressive wife, Mar garet (Cher), is a prisoner in their huge estate where neither therapy nor pills can mask her husband’s infidelity. Enter the hired hit man, Toni (Palminteri). Breaking into Margaret and Jack’s home, Tony unknowdngly in terrupts her attempted suicide. He ties her to a rolling desk chair, and thus be gins their strange relationship. Margaret takes advantage of Tony’s bumbling, but streetwise, attitude to discover that her husband has hired Tony to dispose of her for her $5 million life insurance policy. As they wait for a phone call signal from Jack, Margaret finds that the coarse Tony is also quite fragile and vulnerable, as evidenced by numerous frantic calls to his therapist. The two soon discover they share a strong attraction, albeit mostly sexual, and the conspira cy changes. The entertaining dialogue be tween Margaret and Tony, which forms the core of Faithful, is reflec tive of the talents of Cher and Palminteri. With this chemistry, the two create an engaging presen tation that is typically limited to a live performance, thus demonstrat ing the play’s successful adaptation to the big screen. Cher convincingly portrays a severe ly depressed wife devoted to a husband who has neglected her for two decades. She also effectively communicates that a woman does not need to be young, blonde, nor surgically enhanced in or der to be beautiful. This inner beauty, wisdom and strength is of course what attracts Tuny and escapes Jack. Palminteri convincingly plays Tony as a tough-talking Italian hit man who continually exposes his inner confu sion. Throughout the film, this wise guy image is broken down as Tony’s more humane side emerges through Margaret’s understanding. As a major figure wdth minimal dia logue, the bloated O’Neal is fantastic as Jack, the arrogant and aging husband in the midst of some sort of midlife cri sis. He is stereotypical of the selfish husband concerned mostly with pleas ing himself, his big-breasted mistress and his wife — in that order. Faithful is a wonderfully enter taining and complex film. With strong performances, an engaging script and artful direction, Faithful is both insightful and enjoyable.
