7 Secoti at Rock; in my head j By KIPP SHIVES ^fiter When 7 Seconds take the Rockafella's stage tomorrow evening, no one really knows who will be in the band. The group has sort of been The Who of the American punk scene, breaking up and reforming a number of times. As a matter of fact, I had formerly thought that the group was indeed no more until I heard of their Sept. 17 Rockafella's date. Nevertheless, I suspect that Kevin Seconds will be there, being of course the band's namesake, lead singer and guitarist. The 7 Seconds sound has progressed from the violent ferocity 6f the earlier hardcore punk years to more of a softer U2ish croeressive alternative feel. Per haps, out of punk circles, 7 Seconds is most known for their 1985 cover of Nena's only hit song "99 Red Balloons." Opening up for Kevin Seconds and company will be local groups Lucy Brown and Blightobody. The cover charge is $8, not terribly bad for a group with the caliber of 7 seconds alone. A few other shows this week warrant a mention or two: Wednesday, Columbia's very own Danielle Howie will perform her anti-folk acoustic-style guitar picking and singing with Brent Lundy and Douglas Chay. Chay is a Korean graduate student here at USC who has been playing guitar ever since he taught himself to play back in 1984. WUSC will hold a benefit Friday at Rockafella's featuring a plethora of local artists and some special suprises. Douglas Chay's new band, The Deal Box, will make its very first appearance with new mater lai as weii as some older favorites from Chay's solo years. Root Cellar, a kickbutt acoustic crossover rock outfit is schej duled to play. Root Cellar includes two former members of Lay Quiet Awhile. Rockabilly fans beware, The Losers will perform last.

The trio's drum set and guitar are from the 450s era and the stand-up acoustic bass is dated to the 1860s, well worth $10,000. Danielle Howie may make a spot appearance, iire Dave Smith Acoustic Jazz Ensemble will perform during an equipment setup, and a special treat, the Gettin' Stoned Brothers will perform a number of tunes some time in the evening.

This Saturday, Hootie and the Blowfish will return home for an appearance at Rockafella's. Rumors have it that a major recording deal is in the works for the pop lords of the Columbia local scene. This may or may not be true. Who knows? Anyhow, Hootie consistently puts on great shows. A terrible bad joke for the masses: Q: What did Tarzan say when he saw the elephants coming over the hill? A: Here^ come elephants over nire IhanMtasm: IatSter"^ sive hysteria here.) You know, out there, it's happening. All over campus people are gearing up for a bold, new step in innovative television programming. That's right. I'm talking of Gamecock Television, of course, and one of their many pilot shows. Todd Scholl, a WUSC deejay who goes by the name Frosty G when broadcasting around Columbia, will be heading up USC's first music video show, The Frosty G Show, on channel 7. The program features videos each week and interviews and commentary from people around campus. This week's show features videos by Urban Dance Squad and Anthrax. The program is tentatively scheduled to air Monday and Wednesday nights. Next week, more dry humor and a spotlight on an activity specific to Five Points which many students wholeheartedly engage in.

One of the leaders of the band later interrupted a song when he demanded the soundman fix the fading sound system. People were then ordered to return to the stands because they had been standing on the sound wires. Mass confusion was the result when three loud bangs were heard. Conflicting stories point to the sound as either firecrackers, gun shots or the microphone wires popping. Whatever the case, a big part of the crowd started running and eventually left the park.
