Best Band Reunion Baldo Rex Lion's Lair January 27, 2006 It must have been like that line from The Blues Brothers when the immortal Baldo Rex got back together for one night in January at the Lion's Lair: "We're putting the band back together. We're on a mission from God." And though another recent notable reunion --of Babihed-- was ineveitable, will last longer and will probably overshadow what was just a one-off for the imoortal Baldo Rex, to see Baldo's Ted Thacker waxing his ax again was a dream come true for those who recall the noisetastic band, which called it quits in the late '90s. Churning out smart punk Weirdos style, Phil Wronski might have still had a stuffed animal stuck in his zipper when he belted out, "We have to cling together/Like Family/Like lovers/We are the rupture." If only the dirtheads had never taken over 7 South. Best of Denver 2006 westword.com Vote for Babihed @ getmeloaded.tv!!!

Leather Mask Of The GOP (new lyrics)!!! "That's your f__kin' style man!" --some junkie musician on the 16th Street Mall, January 2006 in Denver.

Intro: (Screams of torture)

Well, You get a leather mask

And a bunch of drunk daughters

Then you send a lot of boys

To be cannon fodder

Chorus: Cuz, it's the GOP!

GOP!

Rationality

All for them

None for me!

Well Father, Son, and holy Rove

Stockin' Up their treasure trove

Gettin' drunk on sweet crude oil

A mystery, that would stump Art Doyle

Lead Break: Go Mikey Go! ...Republican

Well, you wear a leather mask

So you don't say too much

Then, you live in your dad's white house

And stay outta touch

Chorus: Cuz, it's the GOP!

GOP!

Rationality

All for them

None for me, me, me, me!

BABIHED/ACTION FRIEND: GERIATRIC PUNK-ROCK BANDS!!!

Wednesday, January 4, 2006 Westword.com Twilight Zone Gallery Xzanthia specializes in the surreal. Drew Bixby Xzanthia gets the party started. Dr. Beetlejuice, assistant manager and events coordinator for Gallery Xzanthia, likes to refer to the place using metaphors. He explains that the eclectic variety of art on the floors and walls is like a twilight zone. He describes the intensely social atmosphere of the gallery as a coffee shop without the coffee. And to illustrate Xzanthia's appeal, particularly to those looking for something unique, he likens the gallery to an unconventionally beautiful woman.

When metaphors don't get people in the door, the good doctor and his boss, gallery owner Xzanthia herself, can always trust the First Friday Art Walk to do the job. From 4 p.m. until the place clears out, this unusual two-story art outlet at 820 West Eighth Avenue hosts geriatric punk-rock bands, belly dancers, people on stilts, fire dancers, magicians, DJs and, of course, art.

"We open up the doors and turn up the volume," Dr. Beetlejuice says. "People know that this is where the party is. We never seem to shut down."

Xzanthia specializes in art as disparate as the monikers of its employees. Conceptual, gothic, Christian and demonic themes meet canvas, sculpture and photography in an atmosphere anchored by music, dancing and a commitment to community. "There's a taste of the abstract," says Xzanthia, whose eclectic artistic background inspired her to rely on fantastic, erotic surrealism rather than follow in the footsteps of many mainstream landscape-and-impressionism galleries.

Get more information at http://xzanthia.com or by calling 303-893-0063. A truly unique gallery (and art opening). Fri., Jan. 6, 4 p.m. Gallery Xzanthia, 820 W. 8th Ave., Denver, 303-893-0063, http://xzanthia.com
