And if the altruistic affair at the 40 WATT to undo the dreadful deed is Muc.h_adfl. then you, the fine readers of Flagpole would be aravelv sorry to Miss it. Since taking the name Super! Dude & The Magic Wands, the band has been through many radical personality shifts. Gene Lyons defining the throbbing root of their MUSIC SAID, "I'd like our MUSIC to sound like the hum you get in your head when you drink coffee and beer at the SAME TIME." The band consists of the Nearly immortal VIC CHESNUTT/keys & vocals; the slvlv energetic HAYNES COLLINS/guitar, bass & programmed percussion; The Merciless DAVID BARBE/drums, guitar & bass; and the Merely Frantic GENE LYONS/drums, guitar. Utilizing what they like to call the only universal truth, the players while plavino. oarantheticallv post ulate through their music that an eel is a fish, a whale, is a MAMMAL, and a Bird is a Bird. All the MEMBERS collaboratively pen their songs. Guitarist BARBE commenting on his guitar prowess, states, "When you don’t know MANY NOTES, you gotta bend alot of strings." This one time effort gives VIC the perfect opportunity to TACKLE such Lyrical Issues as (his beloved shoe size) MEN who sell Nasturtiums AND COLLINS describes the dude sound as "something with bio bold words." HOME BOYS from California, ROUGH TRADES’ "Beat Happening" will open the show. The WANDS only hope for this heartfelt Magnificence of honor of the Grit is that folks please remember that "ish ka bibble" is a Yiddish phrase that MEANS "I Should Worry."
