September 30 Short Stuff: a crowd pleaser Brantley Short Stun Junior Above keyboard ■tyte High! hi unfcKM • how Marti Lamar through Qult»fl»t. for hi feature combination •pot By Lori B. Miller Music fans looking for something other than Eau Claire s steady diet of country-rock flocked to the Council Fire Room one rain-chilled September night. About 300 enthusiastic and blues-starved UWEC students willingly gave in to the infectious energy of Milwaukee's Short Stuff. Although Short Stuff's opening number was performed with uncharacteristic lethargy, the band returned to form after lead vocalist Jim Liban's announcement. We re going to have a little party!' What followed was a mixture of favorites from old albums and experimental from a new album including Main Lady. Just a Little Bit More. Maybe I'll Be Lucky Tonight and Flip. Flop and Fry. Their formula was simple: huge quantities of pep and a few blues-ier, boy-lusts-girl songs. Short Stuff read their audience's tastes correctly. The crowd was driven into a toe-tapping frenzy by the wailing harmonica and slightly raspy voice of Liban, elephant whistles and the unearthly surges of Junior Brantley'8 keyboard. Short Stuff's formula, nevertheless, showed dangers of possessing identical movements with few variations. A song lacking the lead of Liban's harmonica. the echo of Mark Lamar's guitar and Brantley's keyboard was rare, as were the rush and roar of the big finish or the revved-up tempo and volume Occasionally. Lamar. Brantley or drummer Tom Piazza got feature spots, or the band indulged in short, staccato movements and interesting combinations of chords. Short Stuff is a crowd pleaser and this crowd was definitely pleased. Liban's theatrical gymnastics of kicking and stomping propelled many of the concert goers onto the dance floor and left the rest swinging and swaying as much as a metal chair would permit. ■
