The Midwest is rapidly gaining
on the Southeast as America's
primary spawning ground for alternative
music. One of these new
Midwestern bands, the BoDeans,
will try to prove that Nov. 30 at
Greenest reet's.
'The band comes out of
Waukesha, Wis., and follows on
the heels of another popular
Wisconsin group, the Violent
Femmes.
i ncir iirsi aioum was tms past
year's Love & Hope <& Sex &
Dreams, the title taken from a lyric
from "Shattered" by the Rolling
Stones. Love & Hope & Sex &
Dreams firmly established the
band's style of deft drumming and
clean guitar playing.
Perhaps the most distinguished
feature is the singing of Beau BoDean
(Kurt Newmann) and Sammy
BoDean (Sammy Lianas), which
recalls the scratchy passion of Bob
Dylan's best vocal work.
The topic of their songs is almost
invariably love and love lost. The
album shows the band's ability to
mix fast and slow, moving easily
fro in the haunting ballad
j "Rickshaw Riding" to the fierce

garnered more than its share of

the band.
Now, a year later, the BoDeans
return with their second album,
Outside Looking In. The LP, produced
bv Talking Head and fellow
Wisconsinite Jerry Harrison, finds
the band changing slightly toward a
more detached and contemplative
style.
Although the sound of the BoDeans
has changed, the theme of
their songs remains the same: unrequited
love. Standout tracks on
Outside Looking In include
"Dreams," "Pick Up the Pieces"
and "Someday." Another song,
"Only Love," is beginning to pick
up some airplay on area radio stations,
although WUSC-FM has
been playing the band all along.

Pink Floyd is inimitable, tight?
The aloofness . . .the ethereal acid
rock . . .the razor-like lyrics that
slice society's madness onto vinyl. . .
Eventually, the distance the band
maintained from its audience, both
in conccrt and in the press, created an
image larger than life. It seems
almost sacrilegious to attempt staging
a resurrection.
But an attempt has been made and
a successful one at that.
Clearlight, from Ontario, Canada,
pulls it off. The band stages an impressive
show, backed by a
12,000-watt sound system and a
78,000-watt light show. They have

made no attempt to look like Floyd
or act like them, but they certainly
sounu nxc mem.
The band's first set included Floyd
material, "Have a Cigar" and the
amazing "Run Like Hell." The band
also covered other timeless tunes
such as David Bowie's "Space Oddity."
The second set was pure Floyd,
and the band dipped back into the
record-breaking Dark Side Of The
Moon, The Wall, Wish You Were
Here, Meddle and other Pink
classics.
But what was most impressive was
this tribute band's capacity to put out
memorable material of its own. With
songs such as "The Jungle Beat,"
"Spacc" and "Shades of Thought,"

)f Floyd, (
Clearlight members proved they were
itching to go somewhere on their
own.
The original songs oddly combine
a hint of Genesis combined with
singer/guitarist Jerry Laufman's
Geddy Lee brand of nasally highpitched
vocals.
The band has not yet released a
record, though one is in the works,
and that makes for another piece of
interesting information; this albumless
Canadian group rakes in
American dollars. Clearlight is the
only unrecorded group that has placed
in Performance magazine's "Tops
In Performance" list.
"The Pink Floyd material is our
bread and butter." Laufman said.

"VVc always did well on the road, but I
since adding the Floyd set to our j
show, we could probably tour 365 J
days a year if we wanted to."
The group is in great demand, and
tour dates iust seem to keen comine
"It's incrediblc how well this Pink 5
Floyd thing has done for us," Laufman
said. J)
But regardless of how lucrative it
may be and how authentic it may
sound, it's time Clearlight got down
to the studio and pumped out some
of that potential-packed original
stuff, because, eventually, the
greatness of a band comes from
within.
Clearlight will be back at Concerts
Plus in April.
