BOP (harvey) to introduce ‘worldbeat’
to Classic City tonight at the Rockfish
■ INTERVIEW
By DAVID WILLIAMS
Contributing Writer
BOP (harvey) is playing al the
Rockfish tonight. For more infor
mation call 549-0624.
One of the hottest new bands is
coming to Athens.
The band is BOP (harvey), and
the island is Rhode Island.
BOP (harvey) plays a blend of
afro-beat, reggae and ska, which
they call worldbeat. And it isn’t
usually heard from bands baaed in
New England.
“We call it worldbeat Reggae
Ska. We don’t even think of our
selves like we’re from the islands
and nobody’s trying to,” Dan
Techo, who plays bass and saxo
phone, said.
BOP (harvey) isn’t actually from
Rhode Island (for all the worldbeat
purists who may be confused by
their sound). They’re really from
Michigan where they met in col
lege.
BOP (harvey) wanted to move to
the East coast to be closer to the in
dustry. Two years ago they moved
to Providence, R.I, after seeing
what it would cost to live in Boston
or New York City.
They've been together six years,
and for the last three years they
have played at least 200 shows per
year.
This schedule is hard on the
band, but it’s had benefits, in
cluding a Michelob sponsorship.
They won the WBRU/Michelob
Rock Hunt in 1989, which named
them the best band in New En
gland.
BOP (harvey) is on the final leg
of their tour, which has taken them
down the West Coast for the first
time.
“ThiB is our first tour of Cali
fornia. The change of scenery helps
out. If we were touring Michigan
and Rhode Island, it would get mo
notonous,” Randall Sly, keyboard
player for the group, said.
The band was impressed by the
audience on the West Coast, who
they thought were more open to
their sound.
The most impressive thing for
me was that I had never seen the
Pacific Northwest, and I found it to
be really beautiful,” Sly said.
Stecho yelled, “the chicks!”
BOP (harvey)’s first nationally
released album “Bread and Cii-
cuses” is tight and shows a lot of
spontaneity, which comeB from
playing so many live shows.
They’re not black, and they don’t
care. But unfortunately, a lot of
people have dismissed them be
cause they’re no “authentic."
“A lot of people make the point
that no one (in the band) is black,
but we say who cares. We don’t
think that’s the point. Elvis wasn’t
black, but he played black music in
the beginning,” Stecho said.
BOP (harvey) is playing at the
Rockfish tonight, and it should be a
really fun show.

New prints exhibited
By RACHEL CURRY
Contributing Writer
The printmaking arts of etching
and lithography are the focus of an
exhibit of new acquisitions at the
Georgia Museum of Art.
The exhibition, which showcases
36 of the 360 prints the museum
has acquired since 1986, will run
through March 11.
Since the acquisitions include
pieces from Rembrandt to contem
porary artists such as Tony Cragg,
the show gives a chronological
overview of the history of etchings
and lithography.
Patricia Phagan, Curator of
Prints and Drawings for the mu
seum, said the variety of the pe
riods and styles represented in the
exhibit is due to the fact that print
making has gone through many re
vivals.
“Back in the 19th century, there
was a revival of printmaking that
was really based on the rediscovery
of the Old Masters like Rembrandt.
Then in the 1930s and 40s, there
was another printmaking revival.
There was still another in the
1960s. It’s kind of a cycle," she
said.
In addition to the three etchings
by Rembrandt, there are etchings
by Sir Francis Seymour Haden
from the 1860s and four litho-

to current artists.
graphs by Thomas Hart Benton,
created in the 1930s and 40s.
Janice Simon, an art history tea
cher who specializes in American
art, said Benton produces “dy
namic energy and movement in his
work by creating light and dark
images and color contrast.”
Benton’s lithographs, which are
done in black and white, are pow
erful, moving pieces that shouldn’t
be missed.
The contemporary works on dis
play include a 1978 print by Helen
Frankenthaler called "Bronze
Smoke,” Susan Rothenburg’s 1984
lithograph, “Monkey in a Tree,”
and a series of four aquatints by
British sculptor Tony Cragg.
On Feb. 18 at 2 p.m., the mu
seum will sponsor a gallery talk at
which Patricia Phagan will discuss
the works in the exhibit. Admis
sion is free, and everyone is in
vited.
“I’ll just give a small survey of
printmaking, because the show en
compasses so many different pe
riods,” said Phagan.

The Associated Press
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -
Hollywood turned the spotlight
on dwindling Amazon rain for
ests at an exclusive backyard
benefit headlined by charity
crooning from Sting, Bruce

Don Henley.
Sting called it “the most expen

The elaborate dinner party for

sold for $500 to $5,000.
"We’re becoming more and

Henley remarked during the
performance that he and Sting
had toured the coot room at the
home of Ted and Susie Fields,
hosts of the event.
He said the room was filled
with “about a quarter of a million
dollars’ worth of dead animals,”
adding that he and Sting were
tempted to torch the collection of
fur coats.
