These Kiftens roar ‘70s influence strong on Pop Heires: Aftic/MCA with a name like Chainsaw Kittens and the same mailing address as the Flaming tips, we certainly wouldn‘t expect this Norman, Okiaâ€" homa band to sound like Supertramp. Oddly enough, the Kittens probably would be right at home on any of the classic rock radlo stations that play Crime of the Century to death. The Kittens, you see, are plugged into ©70s rock, starting with Mott The Hoople‘s All the Young Dudes and Bowle‘s Aladdin Sane, passing through Cheap Trick‘s in Color and en‘ding somewhere around the Undertones‘ Hypnotised. Admirable influences all and ones that make Pop Heiress such an explosive fusion of glam rock, arena rock and punk. D.J.‘s Front Porch Medium Cool Records/Cargo Borrowing from those artists he‘s hooked up with along the way â€" Dwight Yoakam, Lucinda Wiliams, Michelle Shocked â€" Jarvis has made a delightful countryâ€"rock debut. Besides being a fine songwriter, Jarvis has a voice that combines John Hiatt‘s passion with Gram Parson‘s draw! and a clean, economical guitar style that brings to mind Torm"Veriaine. ; it all adds up to some of the most soulful counâ€" tryâ€"rock since the Jayhawks‘ Hollywood Town Kall. But D.J.‘s Front Porch is much more than just a spotâ€"theâ€"influence exercise. At work here is a major talent who has the goods to be a star in his own right. o o o o 0o 0o 0o 0 0o 0o 0o 0o 0 0o 0 0o 0 0 0 0 0 0 Archer‘s voice, the strong. characteriess type 02 that seils lots of records these days, shows its _ Ross MacDonald is a Cambridge freelance fro}xsporencv here on four Elvis Costelio covers. â€" WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1994 Monday, April 18, 5â€"10 p.m. The evening will include hors d‘ouevres, beverages and live entertainment Everyone Welcome! stwood Square 120 Ottawa St. N.

She all but burles the nuances of the original, turning it Into a slick plece of lounge pop. The rest don‘t fare much better though the bareâ€"bones All Grown Up shows Archer to be a motpro«bowhonme‘faooumeamcto-. tions. Considerably stronger are the three live versions of her own songs that round out the EP. They at least suggest Archer would be wise to avoid someone of Costello‘s stature. These Scottish twins, who look like a cross between Buddy Holly and the Robert Carradine character in Revenge Of The Nerds, found belated success when the fiveâ€"yearâ€"old (I‘m Gonna Be) 500 Miles became an unexpected hit thanks to the movie Benny and Joon.
