Eclectic Athens-based bands to head up hard-rock concert BY DENNIS MING NICHOLS THE GAMECOCK Two bands making waves in Athens, Ga., will perform at the New Brookland Tavern tonight at 10 p.m. Hailing from the college town that’s lauded for being the ► most open-minded to alternative music in the Southeast, Jucifer and Annaray perform hard rock with slightly different approach es. Jucifer, the more unique of the two, plays mostly metal and hard core punk with melodic female vo cals. Frontwoman Amber Valentine could break your heart with her siren voice or rattle your skull with her heavy guitar riffs, but don’t assume she can’t scream with the boys. Songs like “Queen B” are stylistically more hardcore punk and prove that Valentine’s larynx is as strong as Sam Kineson’s. The only other member of the band is Valentine’s husband and drummer Edgar Livengood. To compensate for the absence of a bassist, Valentine beefs up her pt, tone by running her guitar though multiple amplifiers, including a bass amp, resulting in a wall of sound. Her riffs are reminiscent of Billy Corgan’s heavier songs with the Smashing Pumpkins and the noise symphonies of Sonic Youth. The complete package is loud and irresistible. Annaray is a hard-rock four some sounding something like a collaboration of Joe Strummer and the Pixies. The band lacks something in technique, but it makes up for it in musicality. The vocalist Chris Uhde is rem PHOTO SPECIAL TO THE GAMECOCK Amber Valentine and Ed Livengood are the husband-and-wlfe team that makes up the Athens-based band Jucifer. iniscent of Frank Black. His tone lies somewhere between scream ing and whining, but it remains anthem-like and sometimes melodic. He is not the greatest singer, but the strength of his voice would invoke a large mass of susceptible youths to raise their arms and scream in approval. The band’s lyrics attract your ears, but the constant, reverber ated, screaming guitars of Uhde and lead guitarist BJ Bracewell of ten inhibit lyrical comprehension. It’s pretty dynamic; the group ranges from heavy punk to laid back space-rock, but its specialty is rock that relies on a healthy buzz of a distorted guitar and pow erful vocals. Annaray will attract fans of emo and grunge, as well as the power-pop-indie-rock-college radio types.

Performing with Jucifer and Annaray will be local, arty, garage-rock band Skillit and Columbia-based indie-punk band From Safety to Where. -4h.-— Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockmixeditor@hotmail.com CALENDAR Friday, Jan. 24 “POPS AND THEN SOME”: USC Symphony Orchestra. 7:30 p.m. Koger'Center. $15; faculty, staff and seniors, $12; students, $7. “HEAVEN”: 7 and 9 p.m. Nickelodeon Theatre, 937 Main St. “BARBERSHOP”: 8 p.m. Russell House Theater.
