Austin band grooves into College Stati
RILEY LAGRONE
The Battalion
Luckily for Soulhat fans, a good band down
can not be kept down.
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. It

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-
