A&E May 5,1994 7 A walk through the ROCH scene Ingrid Quinn Columnist I hated this band when 1 first saw them last year. Wearing Depend undergarments over *l'eir clothes and openly drunk, Picasso ^rigger had about as much class as school in the summertime. Lead singer Kathy Poindexter had the self-confidence of Lucifer, and didn’t think twice about spitting beer onto warped fans. This was fun? Or am I getting too already? I vowed that I would not ''olunteer myself as a target again, at least **ot until the Motorhead show next week. The girl you love to hate, and the rest of the triggers, surprisingly satisfied my Punk rock urges with their newest release, in the Hole! is a fine representation of their attitude, probably fueled by the fact that t**ey need to change drummers as about as often as a drunk goes through TP. Its no ''^onder why they hate their dysfunctional '•'others. ^t’s kind of funny that they have this problem with keeping the drummers '■ontent and in the band; the basis of the •^rding has the drums leading the way to P“nk heaven. But I guess this fact can ^•y lend to the sound that has the safety- P‘n-in-the-nose kinda fun; •'compromising, slightly predictable, and headache inducing. . _ Piondexter is no PJ Harvey, but y^cally she sings in “I’m Boss” style. On 'Vj '; Ev'.£ '> ■- ' '> Abum Cover Matarcher, She whines, “I hate to tell you, baby., but you suck...Maybe you’ll make it someday.. J^o way!” Opening cut Rub-a-Dub can be left to the imagination, especially when she chants “make me clean., make me clean!” Diversity only comes once in a while on the album, with Sam Minta singing Mi Lapiz is Muy Grande in an unremarkable voice, and the occasional bugle bluibs arc hidden extras. Third cut, “Valentine,” is the most listenable and more thoroughly produced. But for hard core punk imagination, “The Man’s Fault” will make the kids happy; with the basic theme of mutilating of family and oneself. I have wondered if this Chapel Hill band named themselves after the movie of the same name. I guess I will never know, as I fear I would get my face beaten in if I ever asked them. I love punk n)ck!

Human Bowling is an event where the participant climbs inside a four-foot steel sphere, gets strapped in and wears protective headgear, while he or she propels towards five bowling pins in hopes of getting a strike. The third event is pole joust. This sport is played on an inflatable mat, where participants wear head gear and are given padded poles, which they use to try to knock one another over. “Exams are coming up next week, so this is a great time for students to come participate and relieve some of next week’s anxieties," LaPlaca said.
