When a certain chemical
bond is struck that creates a
totally unique mixture you
don't mess around with the
ingredients No poor
imitations or substitutes,
thank you
This is the basic reason for
the termination of Go Van
Go Bassist Robert Warren
has decided to pursue a
career in New York City as a
studio musician With that
development, the rest of the
band has agreed that it
would be nearly impossible
to train someone new
"We decided to quit
graciously and go for
another blueprint later than
to try to replace Robert,"
said Go Van Go founder Vic
Varney
This week marks the Go
Van Go's first anniversary
Tonight's final performance
at the Uptown Lounge comes
nine months after the band's
first public gig. May 11.19B4,
at the 40 Watt Club
Highlighs of Go Van Go's
far-tooshort career include
an opening date for Los
Angeles' Dream Syndicate
at the Tate Center this past
summer, being the subject of
many different stories and
features — including one in
the Washington Post and
several tours up the East
Coast
For those of you that have
not seen Go Van Go yet,
suffice it to say that you'll
get a last glimpse of the
finest quartet of musicians
Athens has to offer
Guitarist/ singer /songwr
iter Vic Varney has paid his
musical dues in the Method
Actors, who released many
albums to critical acclaim
Vocalist Dana Downs
performed with Vietnam,
one of the first local
progressive combos.
Drummer Juan Molina kept
time with the Little Tigers
and Bang! before hopping on
with Go Van Go And soon-to
tie departed bassist Robert
Warren thumped with the
Atlanta funk band Wee Wee
Pole before teaming with
Varney to provide the engine
for Go Van Go.
Ask anyone who has
witnessed this band before,
and they'll tell you that the
incredible combination of
Varney and Warren on
guitar and bass is what sets
this band apart These two
leave the traditional roles of
their instruments behind and
play with an eclectic spirit
that is as exciting as it is
accessible Varney and
Warren will change their
lead and rhythm roles
several times during one
song Drummer Juan Molina
has come on in his own way
during the development of
this band, playing a larger
role with background vocals
and percussive fills that are
extraordinary Vocalist
Dana Downs has her own
niche carved, supplying the
storyline to many of Go Van
Go's songs. Her harmonies
with Varney are unique in
themselves, with Downs
sometimes singer lower in
her alto range than Varney
in his bariton bellowing
Go Van Go has been
described as "the perfect
fusing of many different
musical elements that were
never put together before ''
These elements range from
Stanely Clarke to Ravi
Shankar, from X to Steel
Pulse This is a group that
you can dance the night
away to or sit and be
mesmerized by the in
credible musicianship
Regardless of how you
choose to enjoy Go Van Go,
you have but one last chance
this evening So before they
become history , witness the
final curtain of one of the
finest Athens bands ever.

A review of "Dune,”
starring Kyle MacLachlan.
Max Von Sydow. Linda Hunt
and Sting. Directed by David
Lynch. A University Pic
tures release. Now showing
at Georgia Square.
By JOE SCHWARTZ
Krd and Mark Staff W riter
This Christmas a number
of big films came out that
were hyped to be
breakthrough pictures with
"Dune” receiving the most
hype.
Despite being based on one
of the best-selling science
fiction novels of all time and
having an immense budget
and a number of great ac
tors, "Dune" ended up being
a rather dry, monotonous
failure
At every turn, the picture
found a new way to fail. The
wealth of greai actors and
actresses in the film was
virtually wasted because
their parts were reduced to
cameo appearances.
Max Von Sydow has a
small role as Doctor Kynes
Of the big names, he
probably has the most acting
experience The greatest
injustice is done to Linda
Hunt (the academy-award
winner from “The Year of
Living Dangerously"), who
plays the Fremen
housekeeper Her rather
substantial role is cut down
to about three lines in the
final print.
According to the pre
release publicity, you would
think that Sting was the star
of the film
Instead, his role is quite
brief.
Although his charisma
steals the picture, he isn't
around long enough to save
it. Bui he did cause quite a
stir in his futuristic leather
jockstrap
The story, which is far too
complex to go into here, was
far too complex to go into the
film Director David Lynch
toned il down enough so that
it would appeal not only to
people that had read the
books but to the general
public as well.
Unfortunately, Lynch
managed to keep the film
unreachable to those that
hadn't read the book, while
stooping just low enough that
people that enjoyed the book
would find the film shallow
and unsalisifying.
Basically, the movie
revolves around Kyle
MacLachlan, who is sup
posed to be the messiah.
However, no one can believe
it because he has the
charisma of a slug “Can he
be the messiah?” they all
say. And the answer is no.
Someone with the character
to sustain the part should
have played the role instead
of MacLachlan.
So we end up with a picture
that is either vague or
simplistic, depending on
whether or not you have read
the book, and a hero that
should be packaged as a
sleeping aid. All of the
worthwhile people in the
picturo arc glossed over
direction is pointless.
Doesn't sound too good, now
does i t?
One.' of the few redeeming
features of "Dune" is that
Dino DeLaurentis produced
it, or more appropriately.
over-produced it Normally,
over-producing a film is bad
However, in a story like
“Dune," where everything is
new and different, it's nice to
have someone like
I)el.aurentis to step in and
inspire a visually interesting
film, if nothing else.
