NEWS photo Bob Mackin KRIST Novoselic spoke at the Canadian premiere of his film L7: The Beauty Process May 20 in Gastown. Film just part of creative process Bob Mackin News Reporter KRIST Novoselic’s L7: The Beauty Process came with a lot of charm, even if it didn’t contain the special effects offered by George Lucas. The satirical rock film spiced with concert footage of the Los Angeles female quartet made its Canadian premiere at Vancouver's Blinding Light Cinema May 20 — less than 24 hours after Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace opened around the world. Novoselic joked about the coincidence az the cozy Gastown Theatre and hinted he may return this summer with one of his two musical projects, Sunshine Cake. The film and music collaboration with members of Sky Cries Mary is completing a short-film trilo- gy. Sunshine Cake, Sky Cries Mary and Novoselic’s principal band, Sweet 75, are planning a west coast tour for July. If it doesn’t come north of the border, it will likely be broad- cast on the Internet. Novoselic has been talking with Microsoft about wiring his bus, a former Pacific County public transit coach, with al] manner of cyber gear. Novoselic is working on Sweet 75’s second album with partner Yva Las Vegas. He’s also keeping the Nirvana legacy alive. A boxed set, with rare and live tracks, is in the works. And he’s busily com- piling content for the official Nirvana web site, nirvana.com. It will ¢ linked to his own home page, Novoselic said MTV is producing a documentary on Nirvana. Rather than a narrator, producers are employing singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain’s own words from audio and video interviews. It could even contain 8mm films Novoselic and Cobain made in high school in Aberdeen, Wash. In the meantime, L7: The Beauty Pracess is available on home video through Olympia, Wash.-based K Records.

The Swedish quartet is being touted as not only the saviour of embattled Sub Pop records, but rock and roll itself. The Hellacopters bring their KISS, Stooges and MC5-like sound to the Starfish Room tonight on the second last night of their first North American headlin- ing tour. The band landed on the west side of the Atlantic last fall for their first North American concert at New York’s annual CMJ New Music conference. “We got to play CBGB's, which to us, is a mindblower on its own,” said bassist Kenny Hellacopter on the phone from Kansas City. “We got to play there with the Dictators, which makes it even bigger for us. Walking into the place and you get Joey Ramone soundchecking on stage with the Independents. After the show we got to hang out with Jeff Magnum trom the Dead Boys and Lenny Kaye from Patti Smith's group, all those heroes of ours were there. That was a trip for us.” “It is sort of strange, no one knows us down here, but the people that do show up, they get really into it and people are actually dancing around there, not just thrashing about.” Not enough people know the band yet, it appears. They pur- posely scheduled a day off May 20 to take in one of the first screenings of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Tickets could’t be had. “We worked for that to happen today, but it sold out weeks ahead. We really wanted to see it (Star Wars), We failed, but we tried.” One of the band’s two guitarists even uses the stage name Boba Fett, after a Star Wars’ character. The Hellacopters will be back in Sweden, preparing for a tour of summertime festivals by the time their new album is released aver here in 10 days. Another North American tour could come as soon as this fall. If you miss the Hellacopters tonight, they’! be headlining the second night of the annual Garage Shock festival in Bellingham’s 3B Tavern tomorrow night.
