Scaries continued from page 4
of a second hearing. .
The vocals are drawn out and
off key causing the listener excru¬
ciating pain. Lachflca Loka's vo¬
cals arcsnjminiscent of the "Al¬
tered Images" early 80's valley
trend; however, she lacks the dog
whistle high notes necessary to
make it work. The choruses lack
depth and don't capture the
listener's attention or keep the
songs together.
Simplistic, puerile and whim¬
sical lyrics do nothing to make up
for the absence of compositional
fortitude. "My heart plus your heart
equals love, love, love," is one of
the cheesier lyrical disasters re¬
corded.
Their attempts at wit and hu¬
mor fail due largely to the false
assumption that the bizarre will
automatically be original and in¬
teresting. The oddity is forced and
obvious.
In their quest for originality,
the band'members have adopted
pretentious stage names; like
Byron Blood, to add a "Siouxsie
and the Banshees" mystique to
"The Scaries" experience.
"The Scaries" are a modern
Partridge Family in search of
psychodelic bliss falling over the
edgepf alternativemusic with their,
corny predictability.
"Elvis wasn't Elvis" is the
trendiest, although suprisingly
catchy, track. The slightly upscale
track, 'groove the Peachy comes
as close as the band gets to actu¬
ally grooving. "Icky Dreams" is
about three minutes and 47 sec¬
onds too long and is lyrically de¬
funct.
"Hello Sad Goodbye" is a suc¬
cessful, melodramatic ballad and
the demented highlight of the al¬
bum due to its ear catching guitar.
The first a lbum fremitus Selma
band should have been left in the
vineyards. Of course, the .weather
has been hard-enough on the raisin
industry, so the farmers may have
some reservations about giving the
album playing time. -
"The Scaries" can be heard on
KFSR 90.7 FM and will perform
live at "Qub Fred" tonight for a
special rate of twoV dollars. Al¬
though it may be a waste of eight
perfectly good quarters and a
Wednesday eyening.
