Top Ten Reasons why citizens get offended by the Clackamas Print ALEX MAHAN Co-A&E Editor Recently, there has been an explosion of tal ented bands playing all kinds of Christian mu sic; From punk to funk, ska to hardcore, and rap to metal, these new groups present the more spiri tual side of life in a powerful manner. One of these bands is the Channel Surfers, a surprisingly good quartet straight out of Syracuse, Indiana. Consisting of the standard guitar/bass/drums/ lead singer setup, the Surfers manage to do a really good job with what they have. Jon Hill is an amazing bass player, laying down smooth grooves and faster-than-normal licks. Lance Hill, the drummer, busts out dope beats. The trom bone and guitar player goes by the name of Tim Bushone, while lead singer Jason Brown busts out rhymes, raps, and rhythms. At their free concert on May 17 at New Be ginnings Christian Center, they showed that their music could get the crowd moving and groov ing. Opening was the Mayfair Laundry, a pop quartet who didn’t seem to have as much power, but still with a positive message. Also playing was Switchfoot, a surf-rock band out of South ern California. Again, they had talent, but their energy was lacking somewhat compared to the raw hip-hop rock funk of the Channel Surfers. The Surfers’ sound is somewhat of a cross between 311, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the Urge, which is definitely a good combina tion. The audience, who had been laid back and reserved for the first band, finally got up on their feet and moved to the beat. A free compact disc was promised to the best dancer, which was a big incentive to get down. Their songs were rela tively long compared to many other rock quar tets, so there was adequate time to breakdance, swing, or bust out any other dance maneuver. But instead of negatively inciting the crowd, the message being brought across in their music was positive. “First Stone” takes a stand against the hypocrisy existent in many churches and lives nowadays, and addresses the problem from a Bib lical standpoint. “Masquerade” is about the double lives we all lead, and how we need to stop hiding behind our masks. Basically, they say we need to keep our mind and soul focused on God, which will inevi tably help us to get rid of the mask. The song “Like Job” (referring to Job, again of Biblical origin) tells how to stand firm even under perse cution, and why we should not conform to worldly desires, actions, and thoughts. Their concert was a great experience, and the music was creative, which is a good deal consid ering that there was no charge for the show. The Surfers are bound to become more popular in the next few months as they perform on the “1-5 Tour” with Mayfair Laundry and Switchfoot. The compact disc that is available has 12 songs onrit, and although the live show was more full of power and impact, it is worth the money. Any Christian Supply store will carry it, although it is probably cheaper to get it directly at a show or through mail order. There is also information on the band's website at www.kconline.com/ channelsurfers. The Channel Surfers are one of the best up- and-coming Christian bands, and although they have yet to enjoy the success of some of their Christian counterparts such as the Supertones and Five Iron Frenzy, they are somebody to watch for and listen to. So if you get the chance, go and see these four guys. You might just win a CD for breakdancing! ■ Jazz Night features Moses 10.They think that satire is a city in the Middle East. 9.
