A IS PLAYING AT B ON C

Friday, December 1
"The Songs of *
Adam's House Cat”
Nugi’s Space
You like "Buttholevilla"?
How about"Lookout
Mountain" or that Alabama
butt-whippin' cover of Jim
Carroll's "People Who Died"?
Well, they didn't start out
as part of the Drive-By
Truckers' repertoire, but
rather within the abbrevi
ated catalog of DBT co
captains Patterson Hood's
and Mike Cooley's earlier
band, Adam's House Cat.
The Muscle Shoals-frequent-
ing group, which also featured drummer Chuck Tremblay, along with bassists John Cahoon and
Chris Quillen, was a rough-and-tumble precursor to the Truckers' triple vocal/guitar attack that
ran from 1985 to 1991.
"Both Chris and John have passed away. The last I heard, Chuck no longer plays due to
health issues. We've tried to track him down for over two years, even hiring a private inves
tigator to no avail," says Hood of his former bandmates. Though a full-scale AHC rejnion is
impossible at this point. Hood and Cooley are nonetheless pairing up to resurrect the old Cat
for a worthy cause. They'll be rocking the Nug's stage in a benefit show to assist a couple of
longtime friends whose young daughter was recently diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.
"Since the breakup in '91," says Hood, "Cooley and I have done two sets of AHC songs,
both at Lunch Paper in summer of 1999. This'll be the third time to revisit these songs. Sabina
Burke is the daughter of Jimmy Burke, an old dear friend from home who's lived in Athens
for over 10 years. The show is to raise money for Sabina's mounting healthcare costs. She
has insurance, but they are threatening to stop coverage after her first round cf chemo ends.
Although AHC was electric and louder than hell, we'll be playing the songs acoustic this time
with Brad Morgan on the snare drum."
Hood says that Adam's House Cat, though not as developed as the DBT of today, truly had
some great moments and many of them have likely gotten better given the years of seasoning
in between. From the catchy "Runaway Train" (also heard in many a Truckers setlist) to the
Chuck Berry-on-downers riffage of "Buttholeville," it's sure to be a memorable pseudo-reunion
held for all the right reasons. Advance tickets and donation info are available at www.nud.org
and www.simplysabina.com. A 7 p.m. magic performance for kids by "eco-entertainer" Steve
Trasn precedes the rock show. [Michael Andrews]
