I . .1 Altprnatiifp Bedlam Hour I in triumphant By Art Boerke v/ii uic Wciii uiiiMuc inv; nviii was a miiinii welcoming Columbia's Bedlam Hour home after a triumphant tour of Latvia. The "Gobble Our Gravy" tour was, of course, fictional. The mayhem within, however, was not. At last night's all-ages show, the Bedlams rocked and socked furiously, furthering their n ? rtf Qrviitl* hi?c f ICfHildllUII cia UIIV. v/l JUUUI VUIVMUKI .1 uv.il original bands. Opening the show was another local act, Violet Hxtents, making their live debut. Their performance was very competent for a first gig, although the band seemed to suffer a bit from stage jitters. /\ii acuubiU'|Myiiii;ui-iii ?.un?.u "Acid Trip" launched their set. The audience's positive response to the tunc enabled Violet Extents to continue in a more relaxed state. Tunes like "Million Years" and the slower "Suicides" lured the audience deeper into their sound. Fifteen-year-old vocalist Tom Kllis' voice was nerfect for the material. a mix of Pete Shelly and Geddy L.ce. The most memorable songs in their set were the viscous "Ankle Deep" and the hook laden "Tuesday's Child," which they closed with. BKDLAM HOUR emerged to a roar and a rush to the stagefront. The pared down band leaped about wildly as they raced through their instrumental "Opener." Like Cheap Trick on speed, they erupted with a cover of that band's "Hello There." Guitarist?vocalist Chuck Walker was like a wild animal, held in check only by the limiting length of his guitar chord. For "Why Did You Lie? " the trio were joined by Stuart from Carnage, who provid cd background shrieks and howls. This pairing provided extra fuel to what was already a major sweat inducer. Two new tunes, "Its Your Life" and "S**" Covered Trail," kept the audience's attention until another "guest vocalist" was ready to appear. j x*r'i- '5** ?. ' "*'? v '1'" *?' -*?

Walker's in-tandem instrumental runs with bassist Jon L.eroy gave the audience all the proof needed of their musical ability. They wrapped up their first set in the same way they entered it, with an instrumental. This time it was "Eggplant Sacrifice," a freeform jazz rock exhibition to rival Spinal lap's. When Bedlam Hour re-emerged, they were psyched to outdo themselves. The stinging guitar intro signalled them into "Hour Of," a bounce filled rocker which had the whole place dancing. Continuing with "She," a shortened version of "Serene" and a cover of Ram Jam's "Black Hetty," they made excellent use of the limited stage area. The band experimented a bit with "Head cneese Massacre, me meiiow, icnipochanging "Wait On Me" and an as yet untitled piece of sloppy funk, which sounded like the Chili Peppers under the influence of some controlled substance. ANOTHER COVER, this time of Ted Nugcnt's "Free For All," saw a diaper clad Leroy taking the vocal reins. The crowd ate it up. The parody was completed by Walker's stomping about, Angus Young style, in his heart-covered boxer shorts. ~ : a *a a a v^uiii ivauic?* \j i uviu tu uiucitu discourse, leading perfectly into Walker's "poetry"- segment. Accompanied by improvisations from Leroy and drummer Doug Throgmorten, he provided enough profanity to last a lifetime, yet it was entertaining somehow. Bedlam Hour concluded with a version of Alice Cooper's "I'll Never Cry" and their first ever composition "Teacher." Bedlam Hour is getting better and better with each show they do.
