THIS WEEK AT THE
CLUBS:

Jack-Ass
Willie
Slide into
your overalls and stick on your fake hillbilly teeth, Ôcause youŠll
fit right into Jack-AssŠs musical motif; thumb pluckinŠ, moonshine
guzzlinŠ, belly scratchinŠ porch-stomp. But these once-local boys
are okay, jesŠ donŠt get too close or you might get bit. TheyŠd
never in a million years say they was fun, but they is, I gar-on-tee
it. Friday, Sam BondŠs Garage.

Groovie
Ghoulies
Is that a mega-cat or a mini-woman?
Maybe both? Maybe this endlessly enegetic, hyper-catchy trio utilizes
striped shirts to attain their loftyness, or feathered wings with
which to fly above the crowd? You probably didnŠt know theyŠre
a virtual Euro-sensation, didja? 47 shows in 48 days. Now thatŠs
touring. With garage rockers Les Drageurs and EugeneŠs Wristrockets.
Wednesday, WOW Hall. |

Jackstraw
Jamming with the Sugarbeets and Higher
Ground, JackstrawŠs in the house for this Portland Bluegrass Fest.
Expect those tinny strings, those high-pitched wailings, the occasional
yee-haw. Recently having rallied the crowd to a frenzied pitch
at Sam BondŠs Garage, the ÔJackŠ is back, and this time itŠs personal.
Saturday, Wild Duck.

alongside George Shrub, the worldŠs only known singing C.I.A.
agent. Lippman himself is known to †air out the windbags of the

Dreadful
Interview
A
no-shit chat with Skelly.
By
Ben Fogelson
The language (patois) in many Caribbean
countries is a rich blend of African, Spanish and English influences,
spoken at what to the Western ear seems a very rapid pace, and Jamaican
patois is especially thick and quick. So when I called up Skelly (one
of two lead singers for the internationally renowned reggae group
Israel Vibration,) the words of his road manager came into my head.
†HeŠs hard to understand,˙ he
said.
Great. Finally one of the reggae stars
IŠd been listening to for eons would be on the other side of the phone
from me and IŠd understand squat. And the article was due. I took
a deep breath while the phone rang. What follows is my best attempt
to paraphrase and translate our short time together.
†Hello, Holiday Inn Hollywood, this
is Trevor,˙ came the voice from the receiver. That wasnŠt so hard.
I looked at my super-secret list of starŠs hotel-room code names.
It was only one name long.
†Can I have CecilŠs room please?
†Hold on,˙ droned the voice, followed
by a short pause, no music.
Ring ring.
†Yeh.˙ It was Skelly, reggae Rastafari
to the Nth degree. His voice was crackly and soulful, infused with
the returned energy of thousands upon thousands of screaming fans.
And it was island-ish in a warm way, though he now lives in Brooklyn
when heŠs not touring.
†Skelly!˙ I said, †how ya doinŠ? Respect.˙
ÔRespectŠ is a greeting between some
Jamaicans, much cooler than our local Ôsup?,Š and it was important
because I wanted to appear an insider on the path of Jamaican history
or at least to that of Jamaican music and culture. I also knew I had
weird questions to ask, and that I didnŠt want Skelly offended.
†Sallasie I,˙ intoned Skelly, †give
thanks,˙ he said, giving praises to his most-high, Emperor Haile Sellasi,
the once-ruler of Ethiopia who for a Rasta equates somewhat to a ChristianŠs
take on Jesus.
†Sallasie I,˙ I repeated, chuckling.
†Sallasie I.˙ This was too much É words IŠd heard only on live Bob
Marley recordings, and now Skelly was saying them live to me. Suddenly
embarrassed that I was mumbling his repeated words, I started to get
on with the interview.
†Skelly, I asked, †how much ganja did
you smoke today?˙
†Heh, heh, heh,˙ was the first answer,
the enjoyable laugh of a man who had a good second answer, †an ounce
and a half.˙
†Give thanks!˙ I said back, reveling
in my opportunity to use Jamaican lingo with a real Jamaican. †Man!
Skelly! All by yourself?˙
†Well,˙ Skelly admitted, †you know,
wif de band, and many people in de bus, we all smoke dat.˙
Very cool. Made it past my first question.
†So you live in Brooklyn? Are you a
vegetarian? Do you get to eat well?˙ My confidence was up so I intentionally
asked two questions in a row. The third squeaked out by itself.
Some touring Rastas are vegetarian
and quite particular about their cuisine. One rumor about Bunny WailerŠs
return to Jamaica after his tour with Bob Marley was that he hadnŠt
been able to get what he needed to eat.
†No, I eat chicken and fish. Lots of
Caribbean food carts in Brooklyn, you know,˙ said Skelly.
†Oh,˙ I understood. †You eat at Korean
food carts?˙ I guessed they served chicken.
†Caribbean,˙ repeated Skelly.
Now why would he eat Korean so much,
I wondered.
†Caribbean,˙ repeated Skelly.
†Oh, yeah, Caribbean.˙ I finally understood
him.
†Skelly,˙ I asked, †Have you ever heard
the term Ôtrustafarian?Š˙
Silence.
†You know, weŠve got this joke, when
a white kid grows dreads and has a lot of money from his parentsŕ˙
†Rastafari is inna de heart,˙ said
Skelly. †You can be rich or poor, black or white. You can have money
and be a Rasta, you know.˙ I vowed to scoff no more at the little
white dreadies.
My time was drawing short. The interview
was almost over.
†Skelly,˙ I asked, venturing into touchy
realms, pulling out the question my wife told me I should ask, †Have
you ever found anything nasty in your dreads?˙
†What kind of a question is that?˙
he asked. I knew it was annoying, but I waited. Skelly, Cecil Spence,
the phenomenal singer from Israel Vibration, backed up by the legendary
Jamaican rhythm section of the Roots Radics, answered for the last
time.
†I-man body is I-man temple. I wash
me locks three times a month, me take a bath every day, anŠ in Brooklyn
me got a shower. So I never find no shit inna me dread,˙ he said.
Skelly sings with one of the worldŠs
greatest reggae bands, Israel Vibration, June 6 at the Wild Duck.

WattŠs
Resurrection
Plus,
Mare Wakefield and Laura Kemp team up for tour.
By Vanessa Salvia
To know Mike Watt is to love him, whether
as the politically minded frontman for Š80s punk band The Minutemen,
as persevering member of fIREHOSE or as simply Mike Watt, bassist.
Watt has been a much-revered musical pioneer since his Minutemen days
when he was a jocular, blue-collar figure from San Pedro, California.
Just short of being a hardcore band, The Minutemen were musically
daring, penning socially critical lyrics and jumpy, even jazzy, bass
lines, which became WattŠs signature. Hurdling through five years
and a dozen records they sadly ended their reign after guitarist D.
Boon died in a van crash. Watt later spent six years with fIREHOSE
before going solo on 1994Šs Ball Hog or Tugboat. That CD shows
Watt taking a backseat role, allowing his host of guest musicians
to show off their stuff.
 |
| Mike Watt
stops at the WOW Hall. |
 |
| Laura
Kemp and Mare Wakefield perform Saturday at Sam Bond's. |
1997Šs Contemplating the Engine Room
is an epic story of three guys as they serve in the engine room of
a boat, with each song a part of one dayŠs experience. Metaphorically
speaking, it honors the memory of WattŠs Dad serving in the Navy,
his hometown of San Pedro, WattŠs punk roots and finding himself as
a grown man.
WattŠs new project is equally heroic.
On the new tour, called †Our Oars Become Wings,˙ Watt will perform
his third solo album, The SecondmanŠs Middle Stand, before
having actually recorded it. This tour also features a different stage
set-up: bass, drums and organ.
Watt experienced a life-threatening
infection recently, from which he has now recovered and which inspired
this new project. Paralleling DanteŠs hell, purgatory and heaven,
Watt structures his own fever, healing and paradise. On this tour,
Watt performs only songs from fever and healing, saving the experience
of paradise for the album itself. PhiladelphiaŠs Burning Brides open
this show, Monday June 10th at WOW Hall.
Two of EugeneŠs most-loved performers
are teaming up for several shows this summer. Mare (pronounced †Mary˙)
Wakefield recently returned to Eugene for the summer after nearly
a year in Boston, where she is a full-time student at Berklee School
of Music. Wakefield says her schedule at Berklee keeps her so busy
she rarely has time to perform outside of school. †I donŠt even feel
like I live in Boston,˙ says Wakefield. †I feel like I live at Berklee.˙
The prestigious music school offers
classes called †Ensemble,˙ in which students perform with each other
and the instructor. †ItŠs a no-strings-attached band, where you donŠt
have to worry about rehearsals or booking gigs˙ for the duration of
the term, says Wakefield.
Berklee also has †labs˙ where students
work on perfecting their instruments É WakefieldŠs is voice. †I just
show up and sing, and itŠs great,˙ she says.
SheŠs remained friends with Babe with
Axes singer/songwriter Laura Kemp. One day Kemp suggested they play
some shows together. Wakefield said sure. Two months later, Kemp called
with a fully booked tour schedule, including this SaturdayŠs show
at Sam BondŠs, and a Friday, July 12 Mainstage appearance at Country
Fair.
WhatŠs unique about this tour is that
the shows are truly being conducted with a spirit of togetherness.
Kemp is accompanying WakefieldŠs songs on dobro, while Wakefield is
second guitar on some of KempŠs songs.
†Since Babes With Axes is broken up,
itŠs just great to have another singer/songwriter to play with and
be able to play a different instrument,˙ says Kemp. †ItŠs just really
fun. I love MareŠs new songs.˙ The two friends †are on the same wavelength,˙
and seem to have mutual admiration and respect for one anotherŠs material
and have worked out a lot of harmonies together.
†We just get along really well together,˙
says Wakefield. †WeŠre looking at this tour with the same level of
professionalism, dedication and care, which is really cool when youŠre
playing your own songs with someone else.˙

SeasonŠs
End
Close
of music season brings sencouraging signs
By Brett Campbell
As the 2001-2 music season reaches
its coda, we can look back on some bright spots that bode well for
the future. This has been the best season for jazz in recent memory
É especially the kind of progressive jazz that transcends narrow purist
definitions and reaches out to fans of classical, hip hop, and even
world music. In the last few weeks, weŠve been treated to strong shows
by Medeski Martin & Wood at the McDonald Theatre (pretty groovy
after some tedious stretches of unfocused noodling), Wayne Horvitz
at Luna, and Bill Frisell at WOW Hall (one of the mellowest shows
IŠve ever heard) É and that was after the February flurry that brought
Maria Schneider, Dave Douglas, Paquito dŠRivera and others.
Now Charlie Hunter comes to the Wild
Duck on Friday, June 14. Hunter is an amazing guitarist whose excursions
into funk, Latin rhythms, even pop somehow sound completely natural
and danceable. Whether heŠs collaborating with saxophonists, vibists,
or percussionists, his pieces always leave toes tapping and derrieres
quivering. Like Medeski & Co., Charlie Hunter is bringing broader,
younger audiences to jazz, and vice versa.
ItŠs been really encouraging to see
so many of our community groups this year going beyond the warhorses
to bring us attractive music that has the bonus of being less familiar.
On Saturday, June 8, the Unitarian/ Universalist Church Choir brings
a whole evening of 20th century music by Faurą, Bruckner, Aaron Copland
(songs from The Tender Land), Leonard Bernstein (songs from
Candide), and two contemporary American composers: Portland
native Morten Lauridsen and EugeneŠs Tom Sears.
The end of the year brings a couple
of UO concerts that in-the-know fans always try to make. The Oregon
Percussion Ensemble and UO gospel music groups have won strong community
followings because of their passion, their stage charisma, and their
emphasis on contemporary music - assets worth emulating. OPEŠs spring
concert, on Sunday afternoon, June 9, features more than 250 percussion
instruments from around the world. †Release,˙ by Seattle composer
Dave Hollinden, was inspired by the horrors of Sept. 11 and their
cathartic aftermath. The show also includes music by one of the finest
contemporary American composers, Christopher Rouse, invoking the Hawaiian
god of war, and a concert suite by Andre Jolivet, featuring fab flutist
Kristen Halay.
That same evening, the University Gospel
Ensemble, Gospel Choir, and Gospel Singers unleash traditional and
contemporary gospel music (with lots of Kirk Franklin) at 6 pm in
Beall Hall. If youŠve never experienced the sheer joy and power of
these groups (which include guitar, keyboards, horns, and strings),
give this one a try.

| Anne Dhu
McLucas. |
One of the primary inspirations behind
the UOŠs exploration of todayŠs most interesting musical genres has
been the schoolŠs dean, Anne Dhu McLucas, who steps down this year
after a decade of advocating American, electronic, world, and early
music. Of course, entertaining and enlightening the community with
fascinating performances isnŠt a deanŠs only É or even primary É job,
and the school provided Oregon with innovative and unusual music long
before McLucas arrived and will, I hope, continue to do so long after
sheŠs gone. Nevertheless, I believe this community owes the departing
dean a profound debt of gratitude for her support of so much fine
music, both at the UO and via her advice to the Oregon Festival of
American Music. We in Eugene are extremely lucky to have the opportunity
to hear such a wide variety of adventurous, leading-edge sounds that
are the envy of any mid-sized American city, and McLucas has been
a major reason why. I hope her successors will maintain her commendable
commitment to the sounds of our time.
