     Move over Haywire and Scream. 
     
     ing Trees, you have some new 
     
     competition. This new Halifax- 
     
     based band rose out of the ashes 
     
     of The Fanatics and Working 
     
     Class. I didn’t get around to in- 
     
     terviewing the band so that’s 
     
     about all the background infor- 
     
     mation I can give you. Ah well, 
     
     enough of the past and on with 
     
     the present. 
     
    

    
     These guys have the most in- 
     
     credible sound mix I have heard 
     
     since Haywire’s last gig here at the 
     
     University, The light show beats 
     
     any I have seen at the Barn in- 
     
     cluding the Spoons. Okay, Okay 
     
     the dry ice was a little tacky, but 
     
     you have to admit, it made for a 
     
     nice effect if not-such a particular- 
     
     ly good order. The lights were not 
     
     large in numbers but their posi- 
     
     tioning and sequencing were very 
     
     effective. ' 
     
    

    
     What about the music? Well 
     
     what about the music. Words like 
     
     ‘tight’, ‘great’, and ‘somewhat 
     
     better than that Guy Lombardo 
     
     festival’, are overused and don’t 
     
     seem to capture the essence of it. 
     
    

    
     In fact, it was terrific. There 
     
     was a good mix of oldies and the 
     
     latest blasts from your clock- 
     
     radio. The vocalist seems to have 
     
     a fixation on Mick Jagger but 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     that’s OK because he does a damn 
     
     good impression of him during the 
     
     Stones and solo Jagger numbers. 
     
     They even manage to sneak in an 
     
     old Blue Oyster Cult tune and got 
     
     away with it! 
     
    

    
     I suppose one of the great 
     
     things about this band is their 
     
     refreshing use of showmanship. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Let’s face it: you don’t shell out ~ 
     
    
   
   
    
     four bucks just to hear a carbon 
     
     copies of your favorite tunes. You 
     
     can get that at a club. You come 
     
     to see a band perform. Drama 
     
     does just that. On-stage antics and 
     
     a good rapport with the audience 
     
     made for an entertaining evening. 
     
    

    
     I can’t, however, say that the 
     
    
   
   
    
     band was totally flawless. They 
     
     butchered “Bang A Gong” and 
     
     made a rather corny speech during 
     
     a waltz, On top of that, their 
     
     originals were somewhat less than 
     
     average. I wouldn’t advise picking 
     
     up an EP that they might put out 
     
     until their songwriting ability 
     
     improves. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Otherwise, I was impressed. 
     
     Drama is an excellent band that 
     
     I will make an effort to see again. 
     
     Thope the Barn takes the hint and 
     
     hires Drama again soon.
