Backyard BBQ Removes YOUR SOCKS!

By Kathleen De Vere

With the eighth annual Back
Yard BBQ just a few days
away, energy and excitement
are thick in the air, thick as...
things full of other things...
cottage cheese... first year
students... um yeah. The
important thing is that NUGSS
had brought in three great
Canadian bands this year, and
local favourites Floored will be
playing at the Multiplex to rock
you, the students, until your
collective socks are removed,
in a non-invasive, sexually un-
stimulating manner. | repeat:
no members of NUGSS will

' erotically remove your socks,

unless you ask them very, very
nicely. (And maybe buy them a
drink.)

So, if you aren’t already
frothing at the mouth in gleeful
anticipation of pure rock fury,
Over The Edge has put togeth-
er a primer which will inform
you, with explicit detail, all
about the bands you'll be
hearing September 13th dur-
ing the Backyard BBQ.

WIDE MOUTH MASON
. Wide Mouth Mason is

. Shaun Verreault on guitar and

vocal, Earl Pereira on bass
and backing vocals and
Safwan Javed on drums. All
childhood friends, Wide Mouth
Mason formed in 1995 and got
their first big break when they
played a show in Saskatoon
put on by a local radio station.
They were noticed by other
Canadian favourites, Big
Sugar who invited them to play
on their Canada wide tour in
1996. Soon after the tour,
Wide Mouth Mason was
picked up by Warner Music
Canada to record their first
album, and in 1997 they
released their self titled debut.
Since their debut, Wide Mouth
Mason have only been getting
bigger and better, and on
August 27th they released
their 4th album Rained out
Parade.

Wide Mouth Mason’s music
could be described with a
handy interpretative dance,
but due to the limitations of
print, I'll use words instead.

, Their sound is an original

blend of blues and catchy pop
melodies, using vocal har-
monies from all three mem-
bers to bring depth and funk to
their songs. Defiantly a band
you can shake your booty to.

HOLLY MCNARLAND

Based out of Vancouver,
Holly McNarland got her start
when she released her first
album Stuff, on Universal
music. Her career automatical-
ly took off because of her
blend of rockin” tough grrl
anthems and deeply emotion-
al lyrics. To follow up Holly
released E/mo two years later,
then took a break from her
career to mature and raise a
child.

For her latest album, Home
is where your feet are, Holly
worked with several different
producers to get the feel and
theme she wanted to express.

Holly’s new music is more
mature, with songs ranging
from her previous rock efforts
to sexy, crooning ballads. As
one of Canada’s most popular
female artists, Holly
McNarland is going to kick
your ass and entrance you
with her unique and engaging
music.

LIVE ON RELEASE

Live on Release is an all girl
band, all under the age of 19.
Members Brittin, Letty, Foxx
and Leah were all skilled and
experienced musicians when
they formed through an ad
placed in the Georgia Straight
by Brittin and Letty. Live On
Release got their big start
when Riley Karroll, Britten’s
sister and the band’s manager
convinced Bif Naked to check
out the girls at a live show in
New Westminister. Bif was
immediately impressed with
their live act and their song-
writing talent, and soon after
the girls were signed to Bif’s
own label, Her Royal Majesty’s
Records. Live on Release’s
debut album Seeing Red was
released in April 2001 and
since then, Live on Release
has been alternating touring
with high school.

Live on Release’s sound is
best when it’s live. With shows
full of energy and a rockin”
good time, Live on Release
may just cause you to remove
your socks in a somewhat
erotic manner, as you may
remember that not all
teenagers are dumb enough
to like Brittany Spears.

So, there you have it, a pre-
view of all the artists you’re
that are going to remove your
socks. You better be there!
