and a tribute to the heavy influ
ence of dixieland ja/./, on the
group’s music.
Hut eventually, to avoid fur
ther opposition, the band de
cided to change its name to The
Had Daddies.
As for the charge that their
music is sexist, Waldman said
there’s no justification behind
the accusation.
“The Big Daddies play a
combination of rock, funk, jazz
and swing with diverse mes
sages that address serious is
sues like alcoholism, child
abuse, censorship and morals
to matters of the heart, relation
ships and the struggle of men
and women." Waldman said,
“(ienerally issues that are of
current social concern ”
Their tongue-in-cheek, satiri
cal style often invoked in their
famous — if not notorious —
flamboyant on-stage theatrics
may also be adding fuel to the
fin* of controversy. In one per
formance. singer and founding
member Steve Perry was car
ried on stage on a cross.
"It's just their style, their
uniqueness." said Mike Walk
er. WOW Hall publicist
"They're a high-energy, dance
able band. I don't think they're
out to sensationalize or cause
an unnecessary stir. Their mu
sic is definitely making an im
pact. They have just as many
fans as they do critics."
Walker added that the WOW
Hall takes no position in the
controversy. "Being the Com
munity Center for the Perform
ing Arts, our first priority is to
provide a forum for all arlists to
perform in a community of free
expression.” he said. "Every
one gets a chance.”
The l>and members are get
ting tired of all the negative
hubbub surrounding their im
age Refusing to be affected and
not wanting to lose sight of
their goal as dedicated musi
cians. The Had Daddies are cur
rently producing their debut al
bum. titled h'enM:iously Stonod
— an allusion to the pelting
they say they've taken from the
community.
With eleven original compo
sitions. the album showcases
their colorful, psychedelic type
of music: ix>ads of swing and
rock'n'roll and a thick dose of
funk and blues as well.
Doors open at 9 p.m. Show
