Keith Road, North Vancouver 987-4431 Scottish Dragons have Manchester sound From page 22 and that’s where t started.” Music Now: Has the transition between making music and maintaining day jobs to becom- ing full-time musicians been a difficult or exhilarating one? Lewis: “To say both would be fair. The difficulty lies heavy on the tact that we're all in our mid 40s. We're all very much set in our individual ways and that’s very difficult out on the road. It’s heavier than in a marriage. I'm married to a man 25 years now, and [ have to work at that con- stantly. But it's not near the work you have to put into being married to two other women. Exhilarating, you betcha. There’s no way to do the hard work that we do without getting some real nighs. And for- tunately for us the highs have been there.” ee @ 8 The Soup Dragons — Lovegod, Big Life Records 1990 The Dragons enter the music machine by way of Belshill, Scotland, near Glasgow. And while vocalist Sean Dickson dismisses observations that the band has supped from the Man- chester Sound cauldron, the Soup Dragons sound is dripping in it. From Joy Division on through psychedelic revisionists Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses. Manchester bands have been charting new territory with arty, danceable pop. The synthesis has evolved to combine ‘60s fuzz busting guitar, sampled effects and the tunky house rumbling chythms ot hip hop. The Soup Dragons score best with I’m Free, a gospel-reggae-pop permutation loosely derived fram the Rolling Stones’ Get Off My Cloud citi. James — Gold Mother, Fontana 1990 James is one of the more noteworthy bands to be drawing benefit from the British pop obses- sion with all matters Manchester, Together for nine years, and even covered by the Smiths, James manage a bold tightrope act, balancing between light and dark like so many optimists skipping blindfolded along the edge of a cliff. The songs are variably ap- proached with aggressive wall-oi- guitar dominating on some while others build more with more complexity, using keybourds, ac- cordion or violin. Singer Tim Booth contributes lyrical intelligence and wit. In ad- dition to the more obvious good Chesa_ Seafood 2 Grill LOBSTER MADNESS LB.. ATLANTIC LOBSTERS * Chilled Lobster ~ with.
