THE LOUD CROWD... In what could be described as the
most amazing tag team combination in the history of rock and
wrestling, retired champion wrestler Kinji Shibuya has
officially become the manager of classic punkers, the Angry
Samoans. Sharpen up your steak knives, folks, because
Shibuya has already negotiated a multi-album contract for the
Samoans. All titles in their back catalog will be re-released, as
well as a new slab, Live at Rhino Records SNFU may be
gone, but they're not easily forgotten. Look for a posthumous
Lp of unreleased studio work and recordings from their last 1
world tour. Nowadays Chi is fronting a new band in
Vancouver called the Wongs. Muc, Bunt and Kurt are still in
Edmonton, carrying on as the Wheat Chiefs. Gorilla.
Biscuits are back after laying low for a while. They played a
few packed shows in NY, NJ and DC. They are also recording
a new Lp, Intent to Kill... Murphy's Law begin work on their
third Lp soon. In the meantime, keep an eye out for their wild
do-it-yourself video for "Beach Blanket Bong Blast Familiar
title, eh? Everyone's favorite phallic flailers (and purported
stars of late-night NYC porno TV), Low Meato will be
assaulting European shores soon, accompanied by the
aforementioned Murphy's Law and Mucky Pup Montreal
is hoppin', according to certain inside sources. Case in point:
a recent warehouse party during which members of the
Doughboys, Men Without Hats, the Nils and Voivod all
jammed together, whipping the crowd into a frenzy that lasted
for hours. Notes condolences go out to all the members of
Texan terror troupe, the Loco Gringos, whose lead singer
Pepe Lopez died recently. Buried with a pack of smokes, a
case of beer and his white Les Paul, Pepe received a true
rocker's last rites. Another recent tragedy was the loss of
former Dead Boy Lord of the New Church, Stiv Bator, who
was run down by a car in Paris
FREEDOM FROM SPEECH. Don't let the nickname fool
you, when it comes to music and art, America is far from the
land of the free. While Florida attorney Jack Thompson (the
thought policeman who'd like to throw the 2 Live Crew in the
nearest swamp) reigns supreme as poobah of festering
fundamentalist lynch-mob mentality, the members of Judas
Priest await a verdict in a Nevada courtroom as to whether
their music caused the suicides of two boys. Of course, the
ever-irresponsible popular media turns this constrictive
climate into a sensationalized soap-opera that breeds fear
and hatred in the hearts of suburban busybodies everywhere.
Don't let racism, ignorance and repressed sexuality rule over
tolerance and creative expression-get off your duff and make
a difference. You can't complain about the self-righteous
moralinazis who run this country if you don't even bother to
vote. In an effort to erase some of the ignorance that has
made this country a bastion of homogenization-through-
polarization, KRS-ONE has assembled an A-1 crew,
collectively known as H.E.A.L. (Human Education Against
Lies). The contributing artists (including Ziggy Marley. Run
DMC, Chuck D.. Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, LL. Cool J, Big
Daddy Kane and Rebel MC) will address issues of their
choice (AIDS, the environment and the plight of American
Indians to name a few). All proceeds from album sales will be
used to produce a H.E.A L. book and video that will be
distributed free to high school and college students
throughout the nation. Stay sane, people.
