Lez Zeppelin and the Sonic Boom



In this week's issue, A&E staffer Nicole Boddington reviews the Lez Zeppelin at the Revolution last Friday. Her quick take: indiscriminate sexy looks, lots of undulating, rumbling and throbbing and a sound system gone wild.

An update: Rev Room owner Chris King writes in to say that the soundtech who worked the show was fired the next morning.

Comments

But the sound system at Rumba sucks more often than not! I'm glad, however, that the lousy sound has finally been mentioned in print.

The first and last time I went to Revlolution, the sound system sucked. Everyone says the sounds systems sucks. I wrote the owner and told him the sound system sucked and he never responded. It's a joke. He fired the wrong guy. Look in the mirror and then hire someone to redo your system.

Not to pile on, but I had high hopes for the Rev Room as a true music venue only to be continually disappointed. The sound has been terrible since the beginning and unless you stand at the very front of the room you never see the performers. The stage needs to be at least five feet higher and the sound system needs professional attention, not the amateur patchwork that the owners apparently insist on maintaining. I'm not naive about how much this costs. If the owners want a true performance hall/club then they need to invest in that. If they just want another bar with crappy sound and music as a secondary accessory to alcohol sales, then they should be honest about what they're offering.

The old Safeway store at the corner of 12th and Cedar Streets doesn't look like much these days - a peeling blue hulk of a building, marooned between the Willie Hinton Community Resource Center and the church on the next corner. /more/

Tracy Ingle - who was shot five times by a North Little Rock SWAT team during a no-knock drug raid back in January - was slapped with a gag order during his first court appearance since a story about his case was published in the Arkansas Times on March 24. /more/

As Judge Wendell Griffen says, courage is not a vice (though critics seem to fault him for having it) but a virtue. /more/
