INFORMATION
Dearest Dickheads,
It's all an accident, you know.
None of it means anything or has
any significance beyond simple
cause and effect. It's all a big glop
of chaos that we've imposed a veil
of order upon.
There is no God, no Allah, no
synchronicity, no implicate order.
It's just accident after brutal accident,
coincidence after meaninglesscoincidence.
Any meaningthat
we put on it (outside physical connection)
is a lie to make the whole
thing seem barable. Even normal.
You only live once, so get rich
and enjoy it. As we live the lives
we'verandomly inherited, the only
guideline is Do What Thou Wilt.
Any conformity to Their laws
makes no sense. We will live our
finite lives within the boundlessness
of infinity, die, and then cease
to exist. There's no point in wondering
what the world will be like
after we're gone. Or before we got
here. There is only Now.
Nope, no Tao, no Fountainhead,
no "One." Just this. That's it.
Don't ask, "Why?" Don't worry
about it. Just live out your biological
accident of a life, and die.
Robert Putney Drake
(a cynic)
Dear Dickheads
Thanks for the cover story on
Fractal Method. We hope that folks
will come see us at the upcoming
Pompadour gig.
One minor correction. Fractal
Method has never been nor probably
ever will be considered by
A&M. The original copy alluded
to consideration by major label
A&R - Artists & Repertoire, ie.,
talent scouts.
We remain flattered by the inaccuracy,
however.
Fractal Clan
Dear Dickheads,
Just a quick recap on what
happened at our 4th annual
Sabbathon. This years event didn't
have near the success we have had
in the past. Howewr, it was a good
time and a lot of people turned out
to enjoy the festivities.
Our special thanks to the
,sponsors of the benefit, with a really
big THANK YOU to Crandall
Audio and Matt Taylor who was
very instrumental in the succeps
wedid have. We would also like to
thank therest of the sponsors who
were also very generous in their
donations and help.
A big applause goes out to all
of the bands who put up with the
hassles of playing. All the bands
played freeso that wecould donate
as much as possible to the ADL. A
big no thank you to Hate X9, who
chose not to play this year without
any warning or notice. I hope your
show got rained out.
The ADL was kind enough to
send a representative to Salt Lake.
She put in a lot of hours to tell
people about the organization and
lead discussions on racism and
prejudice. People were responsive
and we feel the days spent were
worth our time.
Thanks again to Jo, Clarke,
Doug and the staff at The Pompadour
for all of your support. The
$500 we will be donating to the
ADL will help to fight against Racism
and Prejudice. Please feel free
if you didn't make it to the
Sabbathon to send your donations
to the ADL, every little bit helps.
We hope we have help ed... See You
next year for,,. yet another
Sabbathon.

Carefully consider that though
you are a great conversationalist
you might be pissing people off
with your "no tacky" methods of
vomit interaction. Remember that
this month only those in blue will
heed to dead baby pkes more than
twice. Stay away from boxers peddling
gum. Don't turn down the
chance to wear a see through bathing
suit, or throw yourself into the
opposite sex's lavatory in public.
Don't attempt to kiss peculiar
animals in the street, it might lead
into some uncontrollable urge to

might seem as if you are carrying
the weight of the world, however,
it is only a suit caseof old sweaters,
don't neglect to wear them. Nude

can be a great way to break the ice
at parties. Remember the number

put forth their rhythmic,
sensual array of
aural stimulus with
professional ease and
sincerity. Local to the Salt Lake
scene, this tenacious group of individuals
has been creating musical
imagery since theband'sinception
in the summer of 1987. Having
performed in nearly twenty clubs
and at several area benefits,
Bohemia areclearly a popular and
influencia1 band, here in the land
of Zion.
Russ Eastland, vocalist, guitarist,andpoeticvisionary
is theprime
mover of the band. His expressive
imagery, through lyrical resonances,
is at once emotional and
emditious,fusingvariouselements
of poetry and symbolism. Russ uses
his voice as an instument in itself,
dreamily harmonizing with his
colorful, powerful, and at times,
experimental style of guitar work,
which incorporates moving, melodic
passages, colorful chordal
voicing and harmonics based on
no other method than the ear of
artist and physiological ability. Soft
spoken, yet clever and intelligent,
Russ carries his years profoundly.
His lyrics and poetry speak of
pleasure and pain and are an ambiguous,
thoughtful reflection of
the mind of their mater. Various
illuminations shine through in
perka synergy with the musical
In addition to contemporary influences,
classical music and jazz
have found their way into Russ's
psyche, His poetical4nterests are
diversified, as well. He cites

in the Colour Theory and
Shadowplay, one can quickly d e
duce that Van really enjoys playing
the drums.
Blair plays with style and energy,complementarytoVan'aand
Russ's, and his jazzy,liquidphrasing
completes the Bohemia sound.
As a trio, Bohemia perform with
a presence that is both authoritative
and friendly. Their music has
the feel of high energy jazz; funky
and melodic with interesting tonal
coloring.
The band played, most recently, ,
at the Sabbathon, which is where I '
had thegood fortune of experienc
ing their show and later meeting
Russ, whenceforth I proceeded to
interview hi. It was more l ii a
philosophical potpourri than a
music interview. We talked, not
only about his musical diion,
but also many othertopics, suchas
politics, religion, sex, drugs, and
rock-n-roll. (This portion of the inteniew
has, however, been censored.)
Since we were at the
Sabbothon, I asked him what his
feelings were about racism. He re-
plied, "We are all part of the human
condition!' We then talked
about the negative effects of discrimination
and prejudice. Russ
also made a comment about the
positive side of the issue. What
could be positive about racism? It
had occurred to me that much ap
ativityisbornof suffering,butRuss
stated it very pointedly by saying,
"The trinity of muses are agony, '
agony, and agony. The most divine
poet swillexistinhell." Amen.
Bohemia will be releasinga disk
shortly and we can all exped the
best from this unique phenom- I

NEWS, BLUES AND RMEWS
Howdy boys n' girls and
welcome to another installment
of the Rockabilly news from
around the country. I'm starting
to think that there might be
some hope for a cool Rockabilly
scene here in Salt Lake after all.
While it might be a little early
for the local drug stores to start
stocking up on Royal Crown,
some hot bands and cool new
albums in my juke box to keep
all you Cats n' Kittens' fingers
snappin', and toes a' tappin'.
On Tuesday night, July
23rd, I headed on down to The
Bar and Grill private club to
hear a new local Rockabilly
band. When I got to the Bar and
Grill my heart nearly skipped a
beat as I saw the words
"Rockabilly Night," printed
right up on the marque. Right
away I knew I was in for a good
night. I stepped inside the club
to see the gear of the "Dead
Cats," set up right on the stage.
Ifelt like I was back home again
as I saw the rebel flag flying
behind the stage, and an old
dog house upright bass sitting
in front of the two piece drum
kit. Needless to say, I was beginning
to get stoked.
The "Dead Cats" opened
their set with a nice and raw
cover of Gene Vincent's classic
"Be-Bop-A-Lula." From there
on, the set consisted entirely of
classic covers ranging from
Eddie Cochran to the Cramps,
and everywhere in between.
When the Cats hit into a rockin'
cover of "The Mule Skinner
Blues," then I knw that these
boys were on the right track.
While I have to say that a set
consisting entirely of covers can
get a little old, in the Dead
Cat's defense this was only their
second gig, and they still managed
to rock the joint. Give
these guys a couple of months
to polish their sound, and to
start writing some original
music, and the Cats'll be a trio
to be reckoned with. All in all,
a great evening of rockabilly.
My hat's off to Chris, Steve,
StevieRay and all the catsat the
Bar and Grill for having theguts
to put on aRockabilly night. To
those of you missed the show,
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING
FOR! Get out to the clubs and
catch the best live form of rock
n' roll in the world: RED HOT
ROCKABILLY! If you wanf to
catch the Dead Cats live in the
future, they'll be playin' alot of
gigs around the Salt Lake area
in the coming months. Check
'em out!
New in my jukebox this
month are a couple rockin' albums
to keep earballs poppin'.
The first is a two-CD set from
Rhino Records called: "Rock
This Town, Rockabilly Hits vol.
#1 and #2." This two-CD set is
a must for anybody who wants
to know what real rock n' roll is
all about. This collection has it
all, from Gene Vincent and
Eddie Cochran to the Blasters
and Robert Gordon. Whether
you've been into Rockabilly for
years,or you're just gettinginto
this great music, this collection
is a must.
Second on my list is another
release from the great Rhino
Records. The Beat Farmers:
Glad nlGreasy. This album is a
new release of a bunch of songs
the band recorded in England
back in 1985, while the great
Buddy Blue was still with the
band. The Beat Farmers keep
the tradition of great San Diego
rock n' roll bands alive with this
smokin' album. My favorite
cutsare "Powderfinger," agreat
cover of the old Neil Young
song, and "Beat Generation,"
sung by the great Country Dick
Montana. This album definitely
gets my great seal of approval,
so check it out.
Back to the local scene.
Since. Salt Lake's Rockabilly
scene is still pretty small, I'd
like to hear from any of you
local cats who have something
cool going on. If you're in a
band, have a tape you want re-
an upcoming show, I wanna
know about it. So please send
any cool stuff my way to:

Provo, UT 84601
Last, but not least, for those
of you just getting into
Rockabiilly music, or for those
of you who just want to know,
here's my own personal
Rockabilly top ten, just like
you'd get on Letterman.

Q - How does ADL spread its
message of understanding and

A - While legislation, law enforcement
and communication
may stem the rise of bias-motivated
crime, the most effective
way to address prejudice at its
core is through reasoned discourse
and education. ADL is
the largest distributor of human
relations materials that address
the topics of bigotry and prejudice.
Futhermore, through our
"A World of Difference"
(AWOD) educational program,
ADL has trained thousands of
educators how to teach about
prejudice and bigotry and the
dangers that these social ailments
pose to our society. In
fact, "AWOD has proven so
successful that the program has
been modified for the work environment
and college campuses
under the respective titles
"A Workplace of Difference"
and "A Campus of Difference."

ADL been involved in?
