Newspaper Page Textf Page 7 August 9, 1989 King Swamp stomps... Virgin recording artist King Swamp will be making an appearance at the Uptown Friday, August 18th. This five-piece band is touring in support of their self-titled debut album, which contains the hit "Is This Love?" Early Gang of Four bass player Dave Allen (later to be replaced by Sara Lee), who also played with Shreik- back, is just one of the members of this ensemble. A Story for Flagpole by Superstar John D. Thomas Band names — I hate'em. Most of them are so cleverly cryptic I have no idea what the're supposed to mean. Cowboy Junkies — Aliens hooked on eating turn of the century westerners? Indigo Girls — A couple of feminist who fell into a vat of dye over at the Levi Strauss factory? The Jody Grind — (formerly An Evening with the Garbageman) Some chick with a lubrication problem? Fetch 'n Bones — Ugly lead singer barks like a dog and digs up the back yard when she drinks too hard? Dreams So Real — (so obviously pretentious, it doesn't deserve comment) Wee Wee Pole— Now wait a minute. Can you imagine hanging out some place and having to tell someone that you play in a band called Wee Wee Poles. "Oh yes, our music has that rustic urinal quality" Barbeque Killers — Do they exterminate the grill, the sauce or the meat? Her Hair Jelly — Music that sounds like Dippity Doo being thrown against a brick wall. Blood Sock — Yeah, my mom would dig it if I played in a band called Blood Sock. "Come on mom, it's a real messy sounding."
