With artists like The Allman Brothers to Toni Braxton, the Southern music scene is blessed with talent. Yet, sometimes we must venture out of our lush musical environment and check out what's going on in the rest of the United States (not including Seattle). For example, check out the band Lotion. They're from New York and are cool enough to be featured with North Carolina's own, The Connells, on the Rolling Stone New Music Tour, which hits the USC campus Monday, October 24. Before you check Lotion out at their Monday night concert (which is being held at the Booker T. Washington Auditorium for a mere $5) listen to their CD, "full Isaac." "full Issac" is the band's first release after recording two singles on the KoKo Pop label in 1992 and 1993. There within the 13 tracks on the CD is "Head," a song that made major airplay on a certain radio station (99X) in a certain town (Atlanta ?my beloved hometown) all this summer. In %ct, Lotion played a concert l< in Atlanta with Toad the Wet Sprock- f< et in July. f Yet, beyond the coolness of "Head," there are many, many songs that re- ^ ally offer up a variety of songs that . 1 ti 3 Vl_ A1* ' W aon i souna line your average Aiicein- j PearlGarden groups.

Along with Bill, Lotion consists of Jim Ferguson (Bill's brother in case the last name didn't show that connection), Tony Zajkowski and Rob Youngberg. Zajkowski provides the vocals for Lotion, while Jim Ferguson plays guitar and Youngberg plays drums. After playing music together as little kids (and listening to AM radio for "Dream Weaver"), Bill and Jim _ hooked up with Rob Youngberg and finally found Tony Zajkowsi, thus mem mess B I TAKE AN ADDIIIOI 40% 0 SELECTED RED-LINED CLEAI SATURDAY 8PM TIL 12 Ml Regular priced goods and temporary sale items not included.
