After what seemed like the end for one of the best groove-rock bands to come out of Austin this decade, Soulhat is back on tour playing dates in their usual spots: Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio and College Station. Long an Austin favorite, Soulhat (formerly Kevin McKinney, guitars and vocals; Brian Walsh, bass; “Frosty” Smith, drums; and Bill Cassis, lead guitars) has been delivering scorch ing sets of funk, rock and blues in clubs all over Texas since the early ‘90s. As one of the best draws in local music, Soul hat played show after packed show at Austin venues, such as Stubb’s and the Saxon Pub, building a loyal fanbase and eventually releas ing two independent records. Live at the Black Cat and OutDeBox. It was these shows and recordings that drew the attention of Epic Records. After being signed, Soulhat released its best known recording, Good Tb Be Gone, in 1994. The album was a combination of the classic Soulhat the band’s old fans had grown to love and a new, more driven sound with emphasis on stronger song structure and tighter arrangements. From the psychedelic slither of the album’s title track to the driving guitars of “Bonecrush- er”, the album’s radio single, Good Tb Be Gone was proof Soulhat was a force to be reckoned with. It even helped earn the band a spot on the 1995 H.O.R.D.E. Festival. Things took a turn for the worst, however, when the band decided to break with Epic (re portedly because of a disagreement over tour promotion). The members of Soulhat split and became involved with other projects (most no tably McKinney and Walsh's Shat Records and Frosty’s Papa Mali and the Instigators), diving headfirst back into the Austin music scene.

If they ) the result v Mr. Smith Goes to Washington reveal, W| true spirit of government, patriotisi I n the first weeks of its re lease, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington was criticized by both the government and the press for the cynical way in which the film portrayed them. Incidents since then, such as Watergate and the current Clinton scandals, show that Mr. Smith was closer to the truth than people were willing to admit. Those attacks did little to keep the average American from flock ing to theaters to view the film, and by the time Oscar night rolled around, Mr. Smith had earned 11 nominations. To get the feel he wanted in the lead, instead of casting a proven Hollywood veteran, di rector Frank Capra chose new comer Jimmy Stewart for the starring role of Jefferson Smith. Stewart had the wide-eyed, Boy Scout look which exactly fit the part of the naive Smith. The sometimes hokey, but always charming plot begins with the death of a senator and the need to nominate a replace ment. The replacement will have to be gullible enough to go along with the “Taylor Machine,” a group of crooked businessmen and corrupt congressmen who were passing bills for their own profit. When no adequate politician can be found, the Boy Rangers (i.e. Boy Scouts) leader Jeff Smith is selected because he seems easygoing and slow-wit ted. Upon arrival in Washington, D.C., Smith visits all the histor ical monuments for inspiration for his new job. Problems arise when it is discovered Smith’s proposed bill for a national boys camp is on the same site as the Taylor Machine’s bill for a new dam. Smith’s enemies lie and fal sify documents in a special hearing and come extremely close to having Smith removed from his Senate position. After being depicted as in competent by the press and ridiculed by fellow senators, Smith feels he has disgraced his state and should quit and re turn home. Only his politically savvy secretary, Clarissa Saunders, talks him into staying so he can prove to the kids of his state that all the great American virtues he has been preaching to them still hold true. Saunders leads Smith through a 23-hour filibuster on the Senate floor with no sup- Doors is it port from other: only a cheerfulsm* Senate president' on.
