Picture this . .
A little known but well-liked
metal band is playing before a
crowd. The masses careen back
and forth in a flurry of headbanging
and moshing.
The lead singer is naturally
clumsy. But, the audience blinds
him with their more-thanwelcome
reception and, before
you know it, the vocalist has
stage-dived into the crowd.
This was the scene not too
long ago when the Columbia-based
band, Rude Lucy,
played in North Myrtle Beach.
Often snubbed as a cover band
ana ignorea oy recora companies,
Rude Lucy continues to
beat the odds and strive for that
golden record deal.
Bass player Daniel Sennema
started the band about two years
ago. He quit a previous band because
some of the members
could not cope with their substance
abuse problems.
Sennema hooked up with vocalist
Red Thomas, guitar master
"Death Wish" David Reynolds
and skin-basher Wally Spires on
drums.
Rude Lucy can be heard on
"The Burning of Columbia", a
tape of singles submitted by Columbia
area bands. One of their
more famous concerts was an
outdoor event during the grand
reopening of the Gervais Street

Take some advice: do not "return"
to the theaters to see the "Batman"
sequel.

the first movie. This movie looks like
it was written by ten different people.
The scenery, imagery and special
effects are still astounding. There are
some truly great scenes that could
actually salvage a decent plot However,
the bad scenes outweigh the
good ones.
In the first Batman movie, director
Tim Burton wanted a story that
could be set in any era. This time around
we see stun guns, compact
discs and other oddities that land
"Batman Returns" smack dab in the
present.
Batman, (Michael Keaton), constantly
uses inane gadgets that are
right out of a bad James Bond flick.
The mystique of the Batmobile is
lost as we see it transform to fit j
down a narrow alley. I'm sure Bat!

don't accept unsolicited material
by bands with no manager.
This Wednesday, they will be
performing a tribute to Led Zeppelin
at Greenstreet's. But they
are not a cover band dedicated to

"This week is a Led Zeppelin

even rumors of an Elvis tribute,"

Rude Lucy members are influenced

such as Alice in Chains,

Beach scene.
"The audience really flips us
out when they start to stage dive.
We love it," said Sennema.
The key to their music is they
reflections in their songs. Sennema
said they want to accomplish
an uplifting feeling and a (
message of hope rather than depress
listeners wih the doom and
gloom or holier-than-thou 1
preaching. '
Sennema admires the early
Johnny Cash music which told a
story in the music, which is what ,
Rude Lucy tries to achieve.
However, being in a band isn't
all music and fun. There is the j
reality of money to face.
"We lose money - plain and
simple. That's why so many
bands don't stay together. But
we're gonna' stick to our guns,
we don't set out to write Top 40 1
stuff," said Sennema.
In addition, a rival Columbia
club will be sponsoring a bikini ^
contest tomorrow night. When
asked how he thinks Wednesday's
concert will go over, Sen- tj
nema replied, "I think we're
gonna' kick Crackeijack's Bikini s,
Contest in the ass!" 0
