Records Born Without A Face FREAKSHOW (CASSETTE ONLY) THE UNBECOMING (Crucible) Born Without A Face is not for the faint of heart. Tortured vocals and searing guitars are dished out like The Michigan Daily- Friday, September 19, 1986 - Page 9 North Country Opera: A tradition returns pacing. Be sure not to miss the real live freakshow at the end of side one. The Unbecoming, a four song EP, is the band's latest and best release. "Mael- strom" and "Black Nar- cissus" are as degenerate as the living hell these guys sing about. "The Next Big Thing" assaults you with anger and "Stubborn Beast Flesh" puts you on edge with its abrasive chainsaw guitars. Suffice to say this isn't the kind of stuff you bring to the big volleyball game down at the beach. Born Without A Face sums up their music best in Freakshow's "Feed Your Head:" Scream for mercy- Beg for more. -Danny Plotnick By Chris Davis Do you think that "yuppies" are evil creatures from outer space? Is "materialism" a naughty word in your vocabulary? Do long walks in the woods turn you on? If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, then seeing North Country Opera should be put at the top of your list of things to do this weekend. North Country Opera is a modern musical by local playwright and songwriter, Jay Stielstra. The story centers upon the character of Michael, played by Michael Smith, who falls in love while backpacking in the U. P. He leavs love, though, to make his fortune as a stockbroker in Grosse Pointe. Finally, after fif- teen years have passed, Michael realizes his mistake and returns to Grand Marais to find the love he left. North Country Opera is a basic love story in a modern and local setting. "The play is about making choices about what's important in your life," explains producer Maureen Martin, who is cur - rently attending the University Business School. The production provides students with an opportunity to see a slice of downtown Ann Arbor rather than campus Ann Arbor," says Mar - tin. "Everybody leaves feeling good." The company consists of many people who came to Ann Arbor to study and stayed to live. All have extensive musical performance backgrounds in the Ann Arbor folk and country scene. One per - former, Charlie Weaver has even taken the show's message to heart and now works full-time as a river guide on the Manistee River. Author Stielstra is himself a native of northern Michigan. Director Barbara Stanley Kramer has combined her New York theatrical ex - perience with music director Kevin Lynch's experience per- forming in bands in and around Ann Arobr. The result, says Martin is an "amazingly fun show." Performances of North Country Opera will be tonight and Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Performance Network, 408 W. Washington. Admission will be $6 for both nights. Tickets wil} be available at the door and iT advance from Herb David's an the Old Town Tavern, both . Liberty street.
