The hundreds of bell-bottomed, classic rock-heads who sit making this noise shake their heads In disbelief at the seemingly Impossible. It can't be true, but it is! Four guys, none of them within even ten years of middle age have just.rocked the house. Backstage the bewilderment continues.

No. Is It a premonition or a prediction?. Well, no not exactly, (it's not ev~n that good of a lead In). But If you're like me and you've seen the Hannlbals In the last few months or so you probably will agree that they're just good enough for it to go down something like that Because the Hannibals are In fact going to open b' the over-the-hlll gangs mentioned above.

So how did this all come to pass? How, for Instance, did the Hannlbels wrangle their way Into such a big and unlikely gig and just how do they feel about the chance to rub elbows with Edgar and Leori? a.rta Johnston, lead aooner and rhythm guitarist explains, 'Well, It was kind of strange actuaJly. This guy comes over to me and Matt, our drummer at Rick's and says he's promoting this show and that he wants us to play It. I guess he'd heard us and liked us. For the first week after that, It didn't .look like it was really going to happen, we were all pretty skeptical: But It Is.· Dave a.rtatle, the Hannibals , eccentric and ftamboyant bassist, adds, •rm still skeptical about playing It.

OUr hair Is almost as long as theirs.• It seems that just a few days ago the Hannlbals enjoyed their first anniversary.

V. • Warms your heart, doesn't It? All kidding aside, though it's obvious these guys are dose friends and the strength of this relationship shows up In the music, which by the way has gotten consistently better and better. With their first, self-titled tape, the Hannibals captured their attempt to come together as a group and create their own sound. Originally not intended for general release, it sold surprisingly well (it sold out.). It also generated some radio play on WDBM with the cut 'Wandering.Eye.· The new tape, called "Hammer of Rain,· seems a natural progression from the first effort. One can immedi ately tell the m·usic is more comple)C and that the Hannibals are con- . sciously pushing themselves into new territory. •This one is more refined and focused than the first, which was more eclectic,· suggests Chris. "It shows where we are now. The songs flow better together. More continuity. - Will there be a song on this one to match the popularity of 'Wander- . ingEye?" · "I think the first song on the tape, •little heads· will,· Chris said. "Right now my favorite song is •A Wish for Distance.• it's really got a good feel to it: Yes, kids, like the famous general they take their moniker from, the Hannlbals move.fast and furious.
