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. Being

group is not their only claim to
fame. 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'

number of tunes some time in the
evening. There will also be door

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:

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.

'They had us pay too much fo

they told the crowd to leave the
stands and come onto the field.
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. But
after a short wait, the band performed
"Slow Down," to which

worthy of the competition.*
Pryor was not responsible for
the actual arrangement of the evening,
but said they will try to figure
out a better way of getting groups

to doing a GreekFest II next
