full Isaac Lotion
if if-k (out of four stars)
We all must admit that whether
black or white, yellow or orange, we
all benefit from the Southern music
scene in one way or another. 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 .

aon i souna line your average Aiicein- j
PearlGarden groups. Listen to the bal- -T
lad-esque "Love Theme from Santo ^
Gold" or listen to "Dr. Lank" and "Pa- p
jamas," which consist of heavy duty g
guitar work - played on Fender Guitars
at that, according to Bill Ferguson,
bassist for the group.
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

finally found Tony Zajkowsi, thus
