Sound Menu June 13 2001 Sun
ASIA, THE FIXX, MOTELS, BERLIN, THE OUTFIELD — Admit it — you can hum some songs by every act on this ’80s package bill. Some (or all) backing members have changed, but the lead singers for these bands remain active on the summer revival trail. Tonight’s lineup is a fairly interesting mix of faux-prog bombast (Asia), danceable new-wave angst (The Fixx) and sensual sirens (the Motels’ Martha Davis and Berlin’s Terri Nunn), topped off with a slice of cheese (The Outfield). HiFi Buys Amphitheatre (Smith)
LLOYD COLE — See Record Reviews. Variety Playhouse (Horowitz)
DRUMS & TUBA — The instrumental three-piece Drums & Tuba lives up to its name, plus guitar. Bridging post-rock and fusion jazz with New Orleans boogie and belching brass, Drums & Tuba recontextualize its instruments, digitally layering themselves live while loops interplay with oom-pah improvisation. The Earl (Ware)
VILLAGE PEOPLE, KC & THE SUNSHINE BAND — Relive those wacky disco years to the sounds of whoever’s dressing up as the Village People these days, along with the original KC. Dust off those platform shoes, break out the glittery spandex, pile on the makeup — and that’s just the guys. Chastain Park Amphitheater (Horowitz)’
