_ King Missile‘s a direct hit John S. Hall‘s latest will make you laugh, wince and wonder PAGE 22 â€" WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 1994 King Missile 5 King Missile Attantic As eclectic and enlightening as the city he calls home, New York‘s John S. Hall delivers a snth helping of his black humorâ€"cumâ€"poetry. Altemmating deadpan text and actual singing and backed by a crack, versatile band, Hall succeeds again at making us wince and wonder. And laugh, of course. Topics range from sex and windâ€"up toys to Hall‘s choice of socks and the music is just as giverse. Though hardly for all tastes, King Misâ€" sile is another imptessive piece of avantâ€" whatever from one of the New York scene‘s most fertile minds. Equal parts Ramones, Len Lovich and the Bangles, this female trio may be Japan‘s most reliable â€"and economically built export since the Corolla. They‘ve certainly done a wonderful job of incorporating Western Pop influences into their songs, strippedâ€"down, occasionally cheesy ditties that seem like throwaways at first but somehow leave a lasting impression. Lack of instrumental com:â€" petency aside, Rock Animals should move Shonen Knife a little further from cult status and closer to the mainstream. Dean was responsible for the guitar chops . W!C/ ...........................'.. Remember Loverboy? Okay, so you‘ve been trying hard to forget them but classic rock radio won‘t let you. They‘re always there, somewhere in the 30â€"minute rock ride between Foreigner and Styx.

So it comes as something of a surprise that he eschews their radioâ€"friendly hard rock for a personal showcase of his guitar versatility. His passion for blues and some tasty acoustic work make for a smooth running Machine in the earty going. Things start to sputter near the end when Dean can‘t resist the urge to return to the tame crunchers of his Loverboy days. Jackopierce Bringing On the Weather A&M Tâ€"Bone Bumett‘s association with a project, whether as producer or musical guest, usually suggests some wellâ€"crafted, heartfelt music can be expected. Jack O‘Neill and Cory Plerce deliver just that on their consistentty solid debut. Hooking up with fellow Texan Bumeftt, who produces and contributes guitar and vocals, Jackâ€" opierce‘s lovely hamnonies and understated, instrumentally richâ€"performances have Bruneftt‘s stamp all over them. Bringing On the Weather, while neither ordiâ€" nary nor groundbreaking, exists somewhere in that middle ground where much of Burâ€" nett‘s work does. Ross MacDonald is a Cambridge freelance writer.
