Holy Gang cries "Free
Tyson Free"
by Danette Parrett (F.T.F.)," and "Murder as
CotUgia* Staff Religion."
"Free Tyson Free!" is the
controversial release from Holy
Gang. Consisting of Richard 23,
Jean-Pierre Everaerts and Mike
"Bonecrusher" D, Holy Gang
dedicated this album to the cause
of Mike Tyson. The group has
taken the position that Tyson
was unfairly found guilty of the
rape of Desiree Washington
because he was black, rich, and
much too famous long before his
trial even began.
Holy Gang mixes computer
generated tracks with vocal
sound-bites from the former
heavyweight champ, and
screaming guitars to turn out
tunes like "Power is My Life,"
"Tyson vs. Washington

was upset when Dixie told
“WilT she can never forgive
Janet for killing him. When Joe
confirmed Adam was being
poisoned, Gloria became
unhinged. Hayley and Alec
realized she was the poisoner.
Edmund and Maria had a case of

lunged for the window. Wait

ANOTHER WORLD:
Patrick and Laurie Miller learned
Vicky is Marley’s twin and
might, unknowingly, lead them
to their son. Vicky warned
Giant she’ll kill him if he tries
to get Kirk. Grant broke off
with Loma, sending her back to
drinking. Amanda finally
learned of Grant’s affair with
Loma and demanded a divorce
from him. A protective Carl
took Amanda home and
threatened Grant’s life. Frankie
filled Joe in on the investigation
of Bailey Thompson. Wait to

llhemselves in an expected
dilemma.
If Metallica met The Beastie
Boys, their offspring would
probably sound a lot like Holy
Gang. Their harsh, hard-hitting
lyrics are set to thrashing guitars
that are somewhat overpowering.
All in all the music leaves
something to be desired and the
lyrics are in bad taste. Take for
instance "Tyson vs. Washington
(F.T.F.)." The general chorus
leaves two options as to what the
"F.TJF." stands for, either "Free
Tyson Free" or "F*** that Face."
Not the best message to send out
in light of Tyson's rape charges.
Released on January 25,
1995, "Free Tyson Free" is quite
timely. Originally convicted and
sentenced to six years in an
Indiana correctional facility, Mike

to call i -nnren, but was rebuffed.
Taylor got to the hospital and

Entertainment
Tyson is scheduled to be released
in May 1995.
General Manager Douglas
Keogh believes there are many
reasons which make the release
important at this time.
, "It is a complex commentary
on a number of issues, from a
satirical point of view. Among
those issues: our society's need
to bring down the black
American folk hero, the savagery
of the sport of boxing..., and
certainly, the issue of violence
against women. I do not believe
the point of this record is to
applaud what is going on in any
of those areas, but to expose it”
Regardless of whether it's a
complex commentary or not,
maybe Holy Gang should have
wrote a book, and let the music
to the real artists.
Taylor must make a decision
about her future, while Sheila
worries about her past coming
back to haunt her.

Toting ZZ Top as their
idols, El Flaco leaves little
comparison between themselves
and their long-bearded mentors.
In their latest release, titled
"Thub," their music takes on
more of a metal-punk-close-to-
Alice-in-Chains melody.
El Flaco attributes their
original sounding alternative to
being from Texas.
"If you think about the
Butthole Surfers and the other
Texas alternative bands, there's
something about being from
Texas-the way people do
alternative music is like no other.
If you're in San Francisco and
you're in that kind of vein, it's
just not the same. It's more
frilly and kind of fake. All these
bands from Texas that are in the
scene, it's more like real and
they're just doing it There's no
pretense," says bassist/vocalist
GUIDING LIGHT: A
jealous Roger seethed at die idea
of Fletcher being with Holly.
Apologizing for their disastrous

Alexandra was upset about Alan
checking up on Tangie’s return
flight but was pleased that
Roger and Holly hadn’t
reconciled. Nick was upset
about the lies he and Mindy told
during the adoption interview.
Walt to sec: Roger acts on a
dangerous impulse.
LOVING: As Dinah Lee

schemes about Deborah.

One thing that El Flaco has
in common with ZZ Top is theii
talent with guitars. Chris Hay
and Rob Gray are the next
fantastic duo on the music scene.
El Flaco formed in April
1992 after Gray and drummer
Brad Turner left Bouffant
Jellyfish. Gray realizes that "El
Flaco may not be as trendy as
Bouffant Jellyfish. At the
moment, when Bouffant was up,
that was very in—it was kind of
Primus-Red Hot Chili Peppers
time, when all the kids would go
to that and wear the concert
shirts. Now there's mote people
who come out to see music for
the music, people who are not
just there to stage-dive."
El Flaco's originals like
"Unflappable" and "Farmer" are
great tunes with light-hearted
lyrics. Keep an eye out for El
Flaco. They may end up giving
some of the Seattle bands a run
for their money.
