THE CITY COUNCIL: A SERIAL NARRATIVE OF RURAL LIFE IN THE AMERICAN WEST
Episode 151: ‘The Night Ravens’ First Gig
By Jim Tindall
■ For
Gloria Petrovich, Tara
year after their high school
graduations. Now that year is
about up. Despite their edgy,
goth public personas, they
remain Warhaven’s favorite
daughters. Before they leave
us for their university stud-
ies, let’s travel back six years
to their start, their very first
public performance.
They walk in single file
from the girls’ restroom to
the bandstand in the cafete-
ria of Warhaven High School.
They have dressed identical-
ly: ponytails, black eye liner,
black turtlenecks, black yoga
pants, and black-laced black
Converse Allstars, the white
rubber of the shoes having
been magic-markered black.
As middle schoolers, they
walk on tiptoes in this hal-
lowed ground of aspiration.
Shirlee carries her Conn
tenor sax, readying her reed.
Katy continues the prayer,
a whisper which Patty picks
up. The others begin to hum
the melody which rises and
falls as a mountain range.
Gloria Petrovich had been
gifted with a Harmony Red
Rocket II hollow body guitar.
This model H54 sports two
DeArmond pickups which
wail through her Vox AC30
amp. They mic’ed an upright
Baldwin studio piano from
the band room for Tara.
Heather carries her red
Gibson Les Paul Junior and
Patty her sunburst Harmony
H22 bass. Katy carries her
drumsticks to her kit, made
up of a Slingerland blue
sparkle bass drum, one
Gretsch red-lacquered floor
tom-tom, two Ludwig white
pearl smaller toms, a Rogers
chromium snare, and for
the hi-hat, crash, and ride,
Zildjian cymbals. Gloria
had begged from the theater
teacher a pair of podium
lights with blue color gels, so
they were staged and set in
an ethereal hue in the dark-
ened, cavernous cafeteria.
Maven and the Night
Ravens open with Joe
Turner’s “Boogie Woogie
Country Girl,” and from the
get-go, they have the crowd
dancing, the girls a chorus
of on-beat and syncopated
hand claps. Patty and Katy
are so moved they cry. Tara
have tears in her eyes as
Gloria sings, clapping, gyrat-
ing, rousing the dancers to
fever-pitch.
“On Saturday nights she
comes to town.
she plays the jukebox, lets
her hair hang down,
our boogie woogie, boogie
woogie country girl.”
Following Tara’s rolling,
percussive 12 bar piano
solo Shirlee comes in with
a raucous 32-bar sax solo,
Gloria now matching Katy’s
bullet-fast flourish of triplets
with her searing staccato
finger work.
Each song they perform,
all covers, are well received,
few dancers sitting anything
out.
They discover Tara can
howl, somewhere in the
brilliant range between
Little Richard and Paul
McCartney, and the au-
dience eats it up! This on
“Lucille,” which ends the set
in a wild rave up of bending
string guitar work by Gloria
and mimicked by Heather
an octave higher. They end
the song, and stand there
stunned, each soaked in
perspiration, audience
adulation rising over them a
little like fog.
At this first break, the ath-
letic director, Coach Howard,
approaches them. He knows
what he has experienced.
“Girls, why don’t you come
down to the locker room, so
you can have some privacy,
and maybe towel off?” It was
clear to anyone who listened
or observed. Something spe-
cial had just occurred; these
girls had a bright, expanding
orbit ahead of them.
They begin their sec-
ond set with a slow, roll-
ing rendition of Wilbert
Harrison’s “Kansas City.” The
next number, they ratchet
up, performing a pair of
Springsteen songs, “Glory
Days” and “Bobby Jean.”
When the applause dies
down something happens,
something spontaneous,
something from the visceral
gut that makes live rock
so unpredictably moving.
Intended as an introduction
to Ma Rainey’s “See See
Rider,” Katy begins to drum,
a steady, pounding Quaish
pow-wow beat; Patty picks
up with the bassline, simple
quarter notes in the low
register. After several bars
Shirley comes in on the sax
in a haunting minor-keyed
solo, plaintive, heartfelt. As
the solo plays out, dimin-
ishing, Gloria, Heather, and
Tara trade off arpeggios. The
beat goes on and the Quaish
kids in the cafeteria start a
circle dance, soon joined by
everyone else, including the
adults in the room. Gloria
begins singing and all dance
on.
Gloria wails the closing
verse,
“Oh, See See Rider,
goin away, baby, won’t be
back till fall.
If I find me a good man, I
won’t be back at all.
Oh, See See Rider, see
what you done done.”
The dancers sense, each
in his or her peculiar way,
what they are experiencing,
another Warhaven miracle of
commonweal realized.

DuMont, Shirlee Lapland,
and Heather Humphly this
was the first of hundreds of
times the band would ex-
perience the Quaish prayer
of hope, salted by the lilt of
trepidation, peppered with
exultant risk taking in chant-
ed dance. Patty Whitefish
and Katy Lakeleaf slowly
skipped about the girls’
restroom, singing, blessing
what was about to happen.
Today Maven and the
Night Ravens are known
around the country as the
best girl band ever. They
tour to sold-out venues, they
garner Grammy nomina-
tions, they write songs that
are complex both musically
and literarily. Much has
been written about these
six young women from
Warhaven over the years.
Now with wealth and fame
their music careers shift to
hiatus as each prepares to
attend college, something
to which they agreed in
consensus, to place on the
backburner for one single
