2 Friday, October 7,1994 Loreleis A Cappefla Jam Hosts Variety of Coflegiate Groups BY ALISON MAXWELL ASSISTANT ARTS/DIVERSIONS EDITOR The fourth-annual Loreleis Fall Jam will “stick to the basics” and feature “top notch music” today and Saturday in Gerrard Hall, according to Loreleis Presi dent Shannon Kete. Kete said the Jam will be a combination of a cappella groups from colleges and universities spanning the East Coast. “We really want to bring to Carolina the rich ness of a cappella in the Northeast, but it’s impor tant to remem ber that this is Loreleis Fall Jan Friday and Saturday Gerrard Hall not a competition,” shesaid. “Allthegroups perform different genres... it would be like comparing apples and oranges.” This evening’s performance will feature the University of Virginia Hullabahoos, the UNC QefHangers, theTarHeel Voices and the Loreleis. Saturday evening’s per formance is more extensive, featuring the University of Pennsylvania Penn 6-5000, the University ofßochester Y ellowjackets, the Tufts University Beelzebubs, the Uni versity of Virginia New Dominions and the Loreleis. “The purpose is to bring all the groups to campus, establish a reputation and get invitations to perform at other campus performances,” Kete said, adding that the Loreleis would be selling a newly released CD entitled Stranded. The Loreleis, a 15-member all-female a cappella group, will perform a set includ ing music by the Cranberries, Sting, Stevie Wonder, Blondie and Mary Chapin-Car penter. “We really have a wide variety of soloists and vocal styles ... the six new amazing members brought great musician- NC STAR FROM PAGE 1 Byron Lutz, also a sophomore partici pant, and Kwok’s roommate, said he hoped the children learned tolerance and respect for everybody regardless of race. “It’s important to take people for who they are,” said Lutz, an economics and history major who is also from Atlanta. “It’s good for kids to see different ways they can handle their anger and differences with other people,” said Dana Dedmond, a junior education major from Rutherfordton. NC STAR trained more than 1,000 col lege students to facilitate dialogue about how to end racism, stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination in public schools across North Carolina. The program has reached more than 30,000 public school students in 10 communities across the state. Stuck for Change ?

According to Clef Hanger Brad King, the Clefs are excited about the concert because they will perform several premiere songs. “We’llhaveaprettygoodmixofold songs from years past and new releases,” King said. The Clef Hangers set will in clude arrangements from the Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, Billy Joel, the Beatles, and Survivor. “It’s neat to see and hear other groups ... exchanging and sharing music is the most rewarding experience of a cappella,” he said. General Manager of the Beelzebubs Jonathan McCue said his group always has a blast at the Jam. “It’s sort of a tradi tion. Annually we come down to UNC and it’s the biggest road trip ever,” he said, noting that the trip is 15 hours each way. The Beelzebubs said they have anew repertoire and new songs including a mix of jazz, grunge and rock you might hear on the radio. “For some reason we have a lot of Peter Gabriel stuff,” McCue joked. Andrew Freeden of the U.Va. Hullabahoos, a male a cappella group, said his group comes to practice in front of a non-U.Va. audience. “We’ve performed here before with the Loreleis and it's al ways a great time with a receptive audi ence,” Freeden said. Although Freeden was not sure of the songs they would per form, he did say the audience could expect R&B, humorous skits and wacky costumes. Jamming begins at 8 p.m. in Gerrard Hall tonight and 9 p.m. on Saturday. Tick ets are available at the door or in advance through the Union Box Office for $5. For more information, call 962-1449.

Pavement Brings ‘Slacker Rock’ to Raleigh Drummer Steve West Says They’re Just Making Music, Not Creating a New Genre BYWENDYMUCHEH ARTS/DIVERSIONS EDITOR The guys in Pavement must be pretty busy these days. They were supposed to call about a week and a half ago to talk about their show Sunday at the Ritz in Raleigh. But with a hectic tour schedule, their record label can’t even get in touch with them. Bassist Mark Ibold calls late Thursday, and he’s very apologetic for being so tardy. But when I get back in touch with them, Pavement and Velocity Girl Sunday The Ritz, Raleigh they’re in a Memphis, Tenn., club doing a soundcheck. Later, they call me back, but before I can even transfer Ibold to another phone, he has to go. So drummer Steve West comes on the line. And none of this chaotic schedule seems to be bothering them at all. Like their music, they’re just kind of rolling along, going with the flow. It seems they truly could “really give a fuck," about the Smash ing Pumpkins and the rest of life’s head aches. Since the release of their “slacker-rock” opus Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, in Febru ary, the guys of Pavement have been gar nering attention. Not just from the indie rockers who’ve been touting their first two albums, Slanted and Enchanted and Westing (By Musket and Sextant). Now the big boys have noticed: Rolling Stone’s and Spin’s albums of the month, even an appearance FRIDAY NOON Campus Scoots will me for lunch at Pizza Inn until 2 p.m. All are invited.

ARTS on “The Tonight Show.” Their sound is spell-binding layers of rollicking folk, urgent guitars, sing-along vocals and vocalist Stephen Malkmus’ in side jokes. Percussionist Bob Nastanovich and guitarist Scott “Spiral Stairs” Kannberg (the band’s founder) help the sound stay loose without getting sloppy. West talked about Pavement’s “unique” sound, their recent success and his obser vations on North Carolina. He said noth ing about his hairstyle. WM: So how’s Memphis? Have you been to Graceland or anything? SW: Oh, it’s a great city. We were here this summer... we’re enjoying ourselves. I've read reviews describing bands as "post- Pavement. ” Does that freak you out at all? They’re saying that about other bands? Wow, that’s pretty impressive. So do you think that you are kind of creating a whole new genre of music- with what you ’re doing? No. We’re just five people playing mu sic. But I guess what we’ve done is impor tant for critics and other people to take notice and say “post” and “pre” and “dur ing.” And do you find that there are a lot of bands out there now that sound like Pavement? I think some of them have picked up on some of the things we’ve done, like the album covers and the attitude ... but I don’t think there are a bunch of Pavement rip-off bands. At least the ones that are successful that I run into aren’t. A lot of bands when they start young have to have something to start out with and sound like. I guess we’re as good a jumping-off point as any. I was in a big R.E.M derivative or rip-off band when I started about 15 years ago or so. Have you heard the new R. E. M. ? No, not really. But I’ve heard good things about it. Campus Calendar 1:30 p.m. “Schindler’s List” : Meet in Union 208 after the 1:30 p.m. showing to talk about this award winning film.
