8 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2004 Living Colour plug in, preach BY MARGARET HAIR STAFF WRITER In the late ’Bos, hard rock group Living Colour took the prevailing hair metal trend of the time and added dreadlocks, social commen tary and looser pants. The group recently released a recording of a concert played at New York music scene staple CBGB in December 1989, follow ing the successful release of its first album, Vivid. Living Colour blended messag es similar to those Public Enemy was throwing in the face of ’Bos glitz and glam with hard, metal wrought rock. No alarm clocks around their necks, but same general idea. Blending their socially minded aims and the complexity of their always strong rhythm section, Living Colour sort of hints at what Rage Against the Machine would do in a much more awesome way a few years after them. Starting off with the band’s top -20 hit, “Cult of Personality,” the concert paints a portrait of Living Colour at the beginning, and cli max, of their somewhat mediocre popular career. Lead singer Corey Glover, not ing legend Jimi Hendrix as an influence, actually sounds like him, at times almost bluesy. It doesn’t always fit the driving guitar loops going on behind him, but it gener ally is pleasing. Keeping with the tenets of hard rock, lead guitarist Vernon Reid is able to supply a few splendidly pSSflSIff 7:00,8:30, SAT-SUN 2:00. 4:10 ' BY FAR THE MOST ORIGMAL UB COMEDY OF THE YEAR" JJ i v huckabees_ flj 7*0.9:20.

UTOSICREVIEW LIVING COLOUR LIVE AT CBGB'S kirk metal guitar solos. He breaks the norm, in that many of them actu ally show technical prowess. There are definitely a few weak spots in Living Colour’s perfor mance, lyrics and repertoire. For example, on “Fight the Fight,” Glover shouts “Love is hell (repeat in background vocals), peace is hell (repeat), love is hell (repeat), uh, what the hell?” all backed up by a severely lacking and disjointed combination of metal guitar in the wrong key and funk infused bass. Not the most shining moment of musical achievement. Despite its shortcomings, Living Colour is able to keep you wanting more of that slamming social conscience, drawing unique elements into a relatively pliable genre. Hard rock at its core is simple enough to add pretty much what ever your little politically infuriated heart desires, and Living Colour does just that. There’s even a little dash of punk rock in their occasional needlessly fast tempos. Living Colour wasn’t legend ary, but the band was, for at least a few weeks in 1988, refreshing. Not earth-shattering but certainly not ear-splitting, they, if nothing else, rocked. After all, they were “like Mussolini and Kennedy ... like Joseph Stalin and Ghandi ... the cult of personality.” Contact the AdE Editor at artsdesk@unc.edu.

With the popular revival of superheroes such as Superman and Batman, Pixar Animation Studios launches its new film, “The Incredibles,” the company’s second to-last project with Disney before it branches out on its own. The movie brings back to the limelight those community-ser vice types who tend to excel in law-abiding helpfulness: the police. But, unfortunately, not even the mighty Mr. Incredible (voiced by Craig T. Nelson) can escape the litigation-happy Americans of our generation. After he saves a suicid al man jumping from a skyscraper, many lawsuits follow. Thanks to the loss of so many tax dollars, the government orders all superheroes to become average Americans and quit their life-saving day jobs. So Bob and Helen Parr (Holly Hunter), the former Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, move to the suburbs, buy a cookie-cut ter house and raise three kids to neglect their super powers. Bob works as an insurance claims employer, where his big heart gets in the way of the company’s busi ness-before-service policy. The complacent routine has no definite end until Bob receives a mysterious bomb-detonating alert for which his true skills might be needed. Coincidentally, Bob loses his job and proudly does not tell his family that the business trips he has been taking are to a vol cano on a remote island where he has not yet met his employer.

The artistic, hand-drawn Disney movies of the animation era have come and gone with much regret, but the realistic feeling of‘The Incredibles” allows it to compete with action movies of all sorts.

Sexual innuendo scowling at the thirty-somethings cavorting in the back. Due to the complex and compli cated nature of the compositions on Blueberry Boat, the obvious question becomes, “How on earth can they pull this off live?” Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger sported a full band including Andy Knowles on drums and Toshi Yano on bass and synth. Matt took charge oTTTie keyboards kncTlead guitar, and Eleanor sang. As showmanship is concerned, the band knows how to please an audience. The band mem bers were lively and energetic, obvi ously enjoying themselves onstage. And of course, what would a rock band be without the showboating drummer? Beating the skins like a red-headed stepchild with a big mouth, Knowles spat and scowled with an unparalleled fury. At times he resembled a chimpanzee pouting out his lips before expelling gusts of saliva into the air as cymbals crashed around him.

The entire set was played as one 70-minute cut. No breaks. No stops. No thank yous. It was simply nonstop rock all night long. The sheer idea of such endurance is staggering. Never faltering, never playing a wrong note, the band played every song to perfection. Yet there was something interest ing about the songs. Although the lyrics were the same and there was a certain familiarity with the sound, none of the live songs were the same versions that were used on the LP. Every song was in effect a remix or an alternate take, radically differ ent from the album cut. They were designed to perfectly blend together as though sewn with the needle of a record player, culminating together as one giant indie-rock production of epic proportions. Altogether, it was a wonderful night at the opera. Contact the AmE Editor at artsdesk@unc.edu.
