unday afternoon, in a cir-
^cus-like atmosphere, near-
Jly 50 students bounced
round in Rudder Fountain to
tunes of local rock band
laywood. At the modern-day
ippie-fest, music fans splashed
|i the middle of University Cen-
r. The members of Haywood
rummed their guitars and beat
leir bongo drums, and occa-
^onally leaped off-stage to join
le drenched crowd.
Together since January, Hay-
l/ood will release its indepen
dent debut album, Flatires, to-
|ay with a celebration at 3rd
loor Cantina to follow.
Formed by a couple of buds
ho have known each other
^nice kindergarten and
inger/guitarist, Stephen San-
lin, who taught himself to play
n his free guitar, these guys said
fey have found their calling.
Drummer Craig Hoenes said
: Haywood was a flavor of ice
ream, rainbow sherbet would
ome to mind.
The variety of colors in rain-
ow sherbet fits all of Haywood’s
longs, which represents the dif-
iiifili
ferent backgrounds of the band
members.
Chris Huntley, the band’s per
cussionist and “young guy” of
the group at 20 years old, said he
has a dream of someday playing
at Preservation Hall in the
French Quarter of New Orleans.
Huntley has played with or
chestras and “hard-core” bands,
but he said he would like to
think of his current sound as
“Afro-Cuban ensemble.”
Before becoming a member
of Haywood, Huntley went to
one of the shows.
“It was probably one of the
funnest concerts I’ve ever been
to," he said. “Two weeks later
they asked me to play in a show
with them. I was just like,
‘Yeah!’”
Hoenes studied jazz drum
ming at the University of North
Texas.
“He [Hoenesjis in his own
perfect little world, drummer
boy,” Sandlin said.
Hoenes said his dream venue
is in Moscow, in front of 500,000
screaming Russians.
Guitarists Brandon Elan and
Kris Arnold hung out on the
playgrounds of Corpus Christi
ever since their childhood.
Haywood
Elan said he admires the mu
sic of Stevie Ray Vaughan and
hopes of one day playing on top
of Shadow Canyon.
Arnold said the philosophy of
the band is simple.
“We are serious about our
music, but we’re not serious,”
Arnold said, “We’re serious
about not being serious.”
Sandlin said he has a simple
mission when the band gets on
stage.
“We want to make you
dance,’’Sandlin said. “We have
more fun on stage than the au
dience. We just wanna have fun
and jump up and down.”
The band members said they
find musical inspiration in dif
ferent places. Dogs, the Summer
Olympics in Atlanta, malt liquor,
pimps and mac daddys are just
a few.
For one tune, Sandlin said he
simply opened up his dictionary
and found the word “brevity,” so
it became the word for the first
verse. For each subsequent
verse, he choose another word
from the dictionary.
“It’s as stupid as that,” he said.
Another song entitled “Silk
Sheets” found its origin in a girl
who works at Hastings.
“The verses are about inno
cent crushes that you know you
can’t have,” Huntley said. “We’re
just nice guys.”
Sandlin said the music has a
universal appeal.
“Every single person in col
lege can relate to the stuff we
sing about,” Sandlin said.
The band members said said
Haywood’s sound is hard to
characterize.
“It is fun college music you
can jump up and down to,” they
said. “We are creating our own
sound.”
For all those Phish fans out
there in Aggieland, this might be
the local band of choice.
“The whole idea is to have
fun,” Sandlin said.
“Yeah,” Hoenes said. “Kind of
like Cyndi Lauper.”

Superchunk
changes pace
By Chris Martin
Staff writer
G reat music is a lonely drifter. Ask
any band who has played to an
empty room.
The old riddle is true — falling timber
doesn’t make a sound in an empty forest.
How many times has a song whispered
through a pumping party stereo, only to
scream through a pair ofWalkman mini
phones on a sad rainy day at the bus stop?
Here’s a hypothetical recipe for such a
happening: Do something really stupid on
a Friday night. Wake up really early with a
headache to a cold, gray Saturday morn
ing. Wrap up in an afghan and head to the
kitchen for a bowl of instant oatmeal. As
the steam from the bowl ascends your face,
lock the doors, lay on the floor and give a
listen to IndoorLivingby Superchunk.
Indoor Living, an album that demands
to be heard in the right place at the right
time, is the eighth full-length album of
fered by Chapel Hill’s first family of Do-It-
Yourself, Superchunk.
With Indoor Living, Superchunk fills out
its poppy-punk past with a welcome arse
nal of strings, organs, vibes and synths. It’s
not exactly a punk Pet Sounds, but the
’Chunk has definitely been circling the
zoo’s parking lot.
Superchunk has persevered for seven
years by making the ethic and might of
punk music inviting. Considering that, In
door Living is practically a welcome mat
into the world of Superchunk.
“We were struck by lightening/it was
like we’d never get old,” screams Mc-
Cauhan on “The Popular Music,” a song
that makes sitting still seem gauche. The
lyrics seem to allude to the earlier youthful
days of dynamism that will always live on
in seven-inch singles.
