Creek Band
Final Performance
The foot-stomping sounds of the Whiskey Creek Band will soon be
a thing of the past. The band, together for eight years, is splitting up
and will play for the last time this Friday and Saturday, April 22 and
23, at the Black Forest Tavern. The Skinner City Cloggers have pro
mised to perform on Saturday night. According to fiddler Sue Hunnel,
alias Big Sue, “it’ll be a good one.”
Three of the band members—Sue, Tom Hunnel, and Johnny Schil
ler—will head to Wall, South Dakota, where they’ve been hired by the
Badlands Musical Production Company to play in a summer show en
titled “Dakota Roads.” While still calling Eugene their home base, the
three hope to move into more theater work, and are willing to go to
wherever the work is.
Big Sue Hunnel, happily humming “On the Road Again,” appears
excited about the prospect of working in musical productions. “We
had a whole lot of fun doing ‘Diamond Studs’ with the Oregon Reper
tory Theater last September,” she said. “Before that, we’d never even
thought of working in theater. It opened up a brand new field for us.”
The Creek Band, a five-member group after they added a drummer
recently, decided to split up due to lack of work. “Clubs just aren’t
hiring bands like ours,” Sue explained, “so Tom and I want to cut
back, travel light, and see what happens.”
We wish them luck and hope to see them in Eugene again soon.

The Dead Kennedys
and U.S. Punk Subculture
The Dead Kennedys are a
“hard core” punk rock band,
loyal to the original style of
loud, fast, abrasive music which
marked the emergence of punk.
Lyrically their recorded music
spans a variety of themes, from
sharp political satire to extreme
nihilism. They have been a part
of the San Francisco new music
scene from its beginning . . . and
they remain very popular today,
drawing a few thousand people
to their Bay Area concerts. In
the recent past they've toured
nationally and in Europe, and
their first album, “Fresh Fruit
for Rotting Vegetables” has sold
quite well in England. (Their sec
ond album is “In God We
Trust.”
The heart of their music is
terrifying parody; something be
tween the late '60’s Mick Jagger,
Sally Bowles (the main character
of the movie “Cabaret” set in
pre-fascist Germany), and the
Wicked Witch of the West. The
key to this parody is the lead
singer, Jello Biafra, who alter
nately takes up the roles of: (1)
fiendish ruling class manipula
tor, (b) anti-authoritarian rebel,
(c) ultra-alienated youth, and (d)
murderer-madman. . . . The
contradiction of the music is that
it starts with a horror at the
modern world, but often ends
up submerged in that horror,
drowned in it.
However, the fact remains
that their musical characteriza
tions are true to life. It takes a
live performance by the DK’s to
fill out this description.
Not only is Biafra’s singing
evocative, but he also creates a
total mood through gestures and
theatrics which can drive the
audience into a frenzy. In a live
concert late last year, Biafra
paced the stage repeatedly be

tween songs, berating the crowd
for its drug induced apathy, en
couraging people to think about
the coming conflicts (in some
what apocalyptic terms), refer
ring to recent events in local city
politics. Not exactly your nor
mal between-songs rap. This is
very important, given that
concert-goers can usually
decipher very little of the lyrics,
and are often in such a frenzy of
slam-dancing or drug-induced
stupor, that very little of a
discerning process is possi
ble. . . .
As for the common complaint
about the narrowness of the
hard-core style represented by
the DK’s, I would say: (a) this
music is definitely not for every
one, (b) that there are indeed a
fair number of hard core bands
who are unimaginative and tech
nically sloppy subsisting in a
milieu which emphasizes ama
teur performance, but (c) I think
there is a real basis for this
“awful, weird, abrasive music”
gaining a wider following, at
least among white youth (middle
and working class) because it re
flects, more accurately than
most contemporary music, ele
ments of the real conditions of
urban life. . . . Most im
portantly, the Dead Kennedys
maintain a dynamic relation
with their audience; firing them
up, responding to the audience’s
initiatives, and carrying on a
positive dialogue with people,
rather than “giving the (dumb)
public what it wants.”
