Kissinger, 2welvelead to play Bryan venue toni
By Lance Lunsford
The Battalion
Bryan-College Station hosted
Kissinger and 2welvelead together
when they competed in 3rd Floor
Cantina’s Battle of the Bands.
A battle of the bands this is not, but
Saturday’s show should be as power
ful and loud as the two bands were
two months ago.
Kissinger will team up with
2welvelead again this Saturday night
at 3rd Floor to refuel before its tour in
April.
With the release of their new al
bum Charm. Kissinger’s present suc
cess comes as somewhat of a surprise
to lead singer Chopqper (pronounced
Chaw-purr).
“1 didn't think it would take off
that fast,” Chopqper said about the
CD that took two-and-a-half-years
to make.
Produced by John Croslin, Charm
took 30 months to record because the
band used the sudio when it was emp
ty, so they could record for free.
Since good things finally have
come those who waited, Kissinger is
taking full advantage of the album’s
present popularity.
Their tour begins in April with
shows in Dallas, Houston and
Austin, their hometown.
Chopqper said goals for the band
tire still evolving.
“We’re looking to get a bigger
label,” Chopqper said. “We've al
ready had to press our second thou
sand [CDs]."
In addition to recording the CD on
their own, the band is self-managed
and arranges tour dates and distribu
tion of their album.
Kissinger is targeting the East
Coast for its nationwide tour because
of the connections Chopcps

3000 Miles to Graceland
Starring Kurt Russell
and Kevin Costner
Directed by Demian Lichenstein
Ne
3000 Miles to Graceland is a hip, edgy action movie
filled with sharp characters and a superbly subtle story.
Exciting and action-packed, it is difficult to imagine
any other movie this year being cooler.
Michael (Russell) and Murphy (Costner) are ex-
cons determined to make one last big score. What bet
ter place to rob than a Las Vegas casino during Interna
tional Elvis week?
The robbery goes awry in stylish fashion with bod
ies and bullets flying everywhere in slow motion.
These John Woo action sequences have become the in
dustry standard for action movies, but Graceland sOW
manages to make them seem fresh and fun.
After Michael and Murphy make their escape, the
real sparks begin to fly as a series of double
crosses between a young woman (Courteney CoF.
quette), her son and $3 million.
This movie is a glimpse into the future of
