Local bands to rock Springfest By DAVID HESTER Staff Writer Four bands with very diverse musical styles will play on the same UNC stage, Saturday, when the 1987 Springfest presents Xenon, Billy Warden and the Floating Children, Cream of Soul, and Urban Edge in an all-day concert on Connor Beach. "We should have music to please everyone's tastes," said Springfest organizer and former Henderson Residence College governor Pam Covais. She said Springfest organ izers wanted to present four very diverse bands, and she chose each band after being impressed with either its recordings or live performances. Saturday's concert will include Producer, star of 'Sherman's March' to speak following presentation of film By SHARON KESSLER Staff Writer "Is romantic love possible in an 'age of supermarkets, fast food, nuclear arms, and the sort of light weight camera and sound equipment that allows anybody to film his own life?" This question is at the core of what has been called one of this year's funniest and most original movies, "Sherman's March," directed, filmed, edited, and produced by the independent filmmaker, Ross McElwee. In a special Carolina Union film committee presentation, "Sherman's March" will be screened tonight in the Union Auditorium at 6 p.m. Only UNC students will be admitted. McElwee will give an informal talk Let's call the Satellite! 929-8226 Monday through Saturday Delivering After 5:00 PM 211 Main St Carrboro - ' : ' $ - . .vVVVv ift X one band that has played at Spring fest in the past, the funk band Xenon. Covais said that Xenon played at Springfest in 1985, and she said that the Springfest audience enthusiasti cally received the band at that time. The progressive rock band Urban Edge is also scheduled to perform. Covais characterized the band by saying that its style is similar to that of R.E.M. and INXS. Urban Edge has just released its first album. Cream of Soul, a band that plays Motown-style rock and soul, will also be on the Springfest program. This Chapel Hill area band is known to local audiences for its frequent appearances at Purdy's. Another local band, Billy Warden at 9 p.m., which is free and open to the public. McElwee. began working on "Sherman's March" in 1981, with a $9,000 grant to make a film retracing the devastating march of General William Tecumseh Sherman through the South during the Civil War and the lingering effects of that march. But McElwee, a Charlotte natives was dumped by his girlfriend while in New York. Depressed and love-lorn, McElwee turned the camera on himself and the girls he met while following Sherman's path south to Atlanta, and then back up to North Carolina. McElwee's dry, deadpan solilo quies have led one Boston critic to dub him the MTar Heel Woody Allen." Vincent Canby, film critic for The New York Times, describes the style of "Sherman's March" as "equivalent to the kind of journalistic piece in which the writer takes up all his space explaining why he did not get the story." McElwee is quick to learn how to use his movie camera to pick up dates. His women make up a portrait of the battiest and the brightest of the New South.

Warden characterizes his group's style by saying that the Children play "a kind of poison-dart funky rock 'n' roll banana," and he said that the band is particularly noted for its "turbo-powered twin guitar attack." Warden said that the Floating Children will bring a complete stage show to Springfest, and he noted that the band's ensem ble of 3 go-go girls has been pre paring special choreography for the show. Billy Warden and the Floating Children, Cream of Soul, Xenon, and Urban Edge will perform Sat urday at noon on Connor Beach. There is Pat, an actress who performs lewd cellulite exercises for the camera and tells about her aspirations of working with Burt Reynolds. Wini is a sexy linguist who lives the life of a hermit. Claudia is a survivalist whose friends are building tennis courts to outlast a nuclear holocaust. Deedee, the Mormon, has a dowry that includes a "better-than-average chance of surviving a nuclear holo caust" in her well-stocked bomb shelter. We meet Joyous, an aspiring rock star, performing "Respect" in a Sears parking lot, wearing red spandex pants. The film completes a cycle with Karen, an old girlfriend of McElwee's, who is a lawyer and an active feminist. McElwee follows her to an ERA rally: "With consum mate timing," he narrates, "I insist on talking to Karen about our relationship in the midst of 10,000 angry women." The recurrent image in this film is of McElwee in bed alone. His sweet, neurotic, introspective per sonality wins the audience over quickly. McElwee's mordant humor and self-irony keep the movie from ever becoming overbearing.
