    Tonight one show only: LITTLE OTIS AND THE UPSETTERS. Send me some loving Send it I pray How can I love you When you’re so far away Won’t you send me some kisses I still feel their touch I love you so badly I love you so much So much So much My days are s ...o lonely My nights are so blue I’m here and I’m alone I’m just waiting on you There’s no Otis. We’re all happy as shit to have a regular gig so no one’s upset but the band’s name tells the truth, “We’re a party band. Please to meet ya.” The name is a play on the two R&B artists we want to emulate – Little Richard (with Jimi Hendrix on guitar covering all the horn lines) and Otis Redding (backed by Booker T) topped off by the sound of Sam The Sham and his Pharoahs. There’s a popular group in the area called the Exciterz so I do a play on their moniker for our band The Upsetters. We eventually split a profitable gig billed as A Night To Excite and Upset You. It’s a peculiar mix of crowds. We’re homeboys and fraternity girls. They’re gothic and leather. But the night comes off great as we rotate the sets. It was the first time that’s done in Bowling Green and it’s pure theater and profitable. Everyone gets paid that night. A good party always rocks. The thing about rock and roll, like salsa, is that it allows you to do what’s on your mind and accent it with a kicking beat. If your clever enough you can transcend the form. A lot of bar bands do on a nightly level. We didn’t (later groups I formed did particularly the El Extreme band out of Albany) but Little Otis has a good time hitting the ceiling with a couple of tunes we wrote ourselves. And we screw with the covers. I bring this Old Chubby Checker record in slugged Twistin Round The World for the band to cover. In our hands the horn section (two trombones and a sax) did the bebop riffs from Dizzy Gillespies Salt Peanuts and the guitar laid an Ozzy Osbourne type lead. We split the voices in thirds with a Mitch Ryder shout and the drummer did his best runaway train beat stoked by our congas and timbales that had the room gasping by the end of the three minute tune. My vocal partner in The Upsetters Rasman Norman helps me polish off an original bilingual reggae tune titled Biscuit Head that’s featured by the Talkwork Series in the early nineties and helps me land a deal with Blue Lunch Records nine years after we write it in a parking lot. The Little Otis formula is deceptively simple: 60 Percent Cover Songs Every variation on the Latin Chords of Louie Louie Hang on Sloopy, La Bamba, Guantanamera et al 40 Percent original Tunes Heavy Metal/Punk Bass Player Jazz Drummer Meat and Potatos lead rock guitar Country Western second guitar Blues Harp Player Be Bop Jazz alto sax Orchestra Trombone Player GratefulDead/Finkadelic Keyboard player Lead Female Singer – soul Second Male Voice – Reggae doubling on congas Lead Male Singer – R&B/Salsa doubling on timbales Guests:Anyone from the town who thinks they can keep up. Props – What you got -- well eat anything We experiment with crazy college coeds and mushrooms besides smoking and selling pounds of weed until we loose Timbo our harp player in a police sting. But, we’re paying $230 a quarter pound for some serious green bud University boys drive in from across Ohio and Michigan so it’s a nice party while it lasts. The key to our success lays in getting the boys in the band to find a common ground musically. This is my form of politics adopted fom Eddie Figueroa at the New Rican. My form of revolution. Look for a way to get the sound of the Real America translated into something new and universal. The cover playlist reads like a 60’s WABC Top 40 Hit parade while the originals twist the lessons learned from the covers to create our own special sound. Music 101 Raw. A rock band is like a marriage of cultures. If you can make all the pieces hum in unison then you reach Nirvana. My bass player Ron Wagner is a second generation German farmboy from Bowling Green who learns bass by playing along with countless records. Every kind of record. He masters heavy metal base while deciphering the long classical pasages that infects so much of metal. His attention to time and how the bass effectively wraps itself around the drum beat adds an edge to the group. I teach myself timbales by listening to countless records. He teaches me to ride the top beat as color not a lead. We understand what we’re trying to do intuitively. Ron catches Devo’s first night as a bar band in Akron, “They’re terrible and get booed. Look where they’re at today. Anything’s possible.” Ron gives up the farm a few years ago but stays in the local music scene heading up the largest audio supply business in the region. Anything from a one room cafe to the annual tractor pull concert at the Fair Grounds. He takes me deep into rock country during the Otis days; to places where farmers work hard hours sometimes tripping on LSD while they plow their fields. At night they want to get a little drunk, jump around a bit, have a little fight and end up at the farm. He books us into the Varsity Club. They remove the plexiglass in front of the bandstand a couple of months before we arrive but they still have a double barred steel rail around the stage. “Yo, what kind of place is this?” “Rock and Roll, Lou. Look, we can’t get too blasted tonight. It’s best to stay on our toes.” “Hey, what are you talking about?” “Just be cool.” “Yo, what kind of place is this?” The place starts to fill up and this crew of brawny farmboys and girls come in and begin to drink. I mean drink. Drinks on the bar, the floor, the pool table and even in the bathroom. They’re smoking doobies outside and dosing in the shadows. There’s a bunch of regulars left over from happy hour. These weathered old mules can knock you out with a knuckle. We kick off the show and hit them with every Delta 88 rocker we have. They’re jumping around. Things are going nice and then from the corner of my eye I see this old farmer get up, hoist a pitcher of beer and bean this farmboy in the head. Pandemonium breaks loose. Cups are flying, girls screaming and through it all Ron just keeps saying. “Play the song out and back to the head!” Well, sure enough by the time we get back to the top of the form the bouncers throw at least seven people out and the place is back rocking. Damn. I never have any delusions that I’ll become a rock star like Devo but I now know how it feels when all the musical pistons are firing in a band and the engine is blowing mega rpms. The entire room tilts, the dancers are in sync and not a note is missed. You can feel the music as it rushes over you like a wave. Now picture 10 people doing that at once on stage playing their own composition; mixing different styles but making sense on a primal level. Now take the next step and imagine 200 people experiencing that in a club. It stops time. This is the real Rock and Roll Experience in the United States. It’s a tribal thing. Just like a Salsa jam. Anyone who tells you different hasn’t felt it yet. Besides, it’s fun for a while if you take it for what it is, an experience. Still working full time at WBGU in 1984, I book the band a weekly gig on Tuesday nights at The Tradewinds on Main Street. It’s a second floor club which is cool because all the fun clubs in my world are always on a second floor. Showtime is 9:30. But the club has a chicken wing happy hour from six to eight. I give the town my version of the New Rican Village and rig it to start by showing a movie at 8:00 booking stuff like Goldgfinger and Zardoz. Plus we presented videos created by my crew at the TV station. The band kicks in at 9:30 and we’ d play until one. I’d have breakdancers from Toledo do a floor show. We manage to draw two hundred paying customers every Tuedsay and build that night up. If you’re into it, a bar band is a business that you can do on a local level and make some tax free bucks. Whose going to report 50 bucks a night. Playing the Tradewinds I meet my first gay punk band – Proof of Utah. They draw their inspiration from novelist William Burroughs and play quick two minute tunes about shooting down art canvasses, their friends and the other bands around them. Their most concise piece is a tune that lasts less than 40 seconds. The lead guitarist hits his strings with a beer bottle creating an awful feedback, the drummer beats a fast assault on the tom tom drum and the singer simply shouts, “All my friends are in bands and they suck!” The song comes to a crashing halt. Such is life in their crowd. They dose my drink with PCP Halloween 1984. My girlfriend’s best friend finds me wandering on Main Street and takes me to our apartment. Paulette tells me my eyes are rolling in my head. The last thing I remember is walking out into the apartment courtyard. There’s fresh crystallized snow on the ground flickering like a thousand little stars. The sky is a strange orange red. The full moon is a brilliant white beam that overpowers even the courtyard floodlights. I can see the words I speak in front of me frozen in the air from my breath. I wake up the next morning alone naked in my bed but I don’t know where I am or how I got there. The room feels like a mausoleum. I get flashbacks to the courtyard scene and find my dream book where I describe meeting George Washingon Carver in sea of peanuts, “I listen all around me because He speaks to me in everything” and then some strange heiroglyphics.” It freaks me out. I call my brother in New York and start making plans to go back to the city. In the meantime, I run a Country Western Bar for my girlfriend’s parents called The Corn City Bar for three months while I wait to settle up with WBGU. There is a matter of three thousand dollars they owe me. My getaway/bail money. The Corn City Bar in Deshler Ohio is my real life set of Deliverance. Everyone is gone in that town. Mexican, White and the occassional Black. Deschler is known as the crossroads of the B&O railroad but it’s heyday has been long gone. It’s poor farming country dotted with raucous bars and outlaw families. One particulary nasty outfit is the Pardo family. A bunch of Mexican brothers who raise hell. The Wheeler brothers are a handful too. Hippie White Boys who rustle cows and butcher them when they’re hungry. When any of these guys get drunk they square off. Paulette’s parents have a special jalapeno juice they slip into their drinks if trouble is brewing and it cools them out. But every once in a while they clear out a place. Country Western bands are really funny as the night goes on. They get filthier too so that by the fourth set the songs are rhyming strings of expletives. But what the hell, everyones drunk. Really drunk. I end up with two Mexican cousins in the back room of the Corn City and the three of us play butt naked bingo. That’s a lot of work, I don’t care what pornos show. We’re joined by their guera cousin. She’s half German and Mexican. Without missing a beat she gets naked and joins us doing both me and her cousins. This is not an isolated case but you got to hit trailer park central before stuff like this starts to happen. Paulette suspects I’m up to something and let me know what time it is in our relationship. She gives me a pair of sneakers at Christmas and asks, “What do you call a musician whose girlfriend just broke up with him?” “What?” “Homeless. Hit the road jack.”Ver más
