The second Airband
Competition was held on
October 20s at the Spur.
The competition consisted
of six acts which included:
Dolly Parton, Best of Boast,
The Talking Heads, Pat
Benatar, Test Tickles and
Ultravox. All participants
seemed to be well prepared
for their performance.
riKSl FKIZK, $25, was
given to three girls who
played Pat Benatar with
their rendition of "Heart
Breaker." Jami Thorstenson,
Barbara Meder and
Leslie Seay were superior in
their airband act. The girls
exhibited a great deal of
energy on stage, and at the
same time, appeared to be
having a lot of fun. When the

Second prize, $15, went to a
group that called themselves
'Thp PaRsintf Stranffprs"
who did Ultravox' song, "All

played brooms instead of
tennis racquets and were
also effective in their
imitation. The lead singer
mouthed the punk rock
lyrics of the song precisely
and with a professional
flair.
Third prize, a case of beer,

contributed most of the tunes
on Firin' Up, including the
top ten hit, "Let Me Love
You Tonight." Pure Prairie
League expects this kind of
successful style will make
the new album an even
bigger success.
The LP has already
produced hits like "Still
Right Here In My Heart,"
"You're Mine Tonight,"
"Hold On to Our Hearts,"
and the title song.
"We are letting our hair
down a bit," says Reilly.
"Our sound may come from
the '60s, but I think it's
becoming increasingly
obvious that we're an up-todate,
'80s rock 'n' roll band,
not just a soft country
band."
"There are a lot of different

time we record an album, we
try to do a variety of different
types of music. We
always try to do more than
anyone expects us to," he
explains.
THE BAND'S history
dates from 1971, when the
first current member,
Hinds, joined
singer/guitarist Craig
Fuller, pedal steel guitarist
John Call and rhythm
guitarist George Powell for
Bustin' Out.
The original trio had
recorded a self-titled debut
album, but it was Bustin'
Out, released in 1972, which
established Pure Prairie
League as a major attraction.
It yielded the
group's first hit single,
"Amie," and the LP became
the band's first gold album.
In July, 1972, both Reilly and
Connor, who actually played
on the sessions for Bustin'
Out, officially joined Pure

In late 1978, the group was

strictly country sound, and ^
auditioned over fifty
guitarists before settling on
Vince Gill, who had similar
roots in country, pop, rock,
and blues.
"We tried out a lot of wellknown
guitarists," Reilly
remembers, "but we were
looking for someone who
would be complementary to
Pure Prairie League, whose
musical style was similar to
ours. We were moving away
from that total country
sound into a more contemorary
pop/rock vein."
Reilly theorizes that the
group has "developed a
complete synergism that
appeals to a wide variety of
wavelengths."

concert is the Canty
