Though the lads, James Dean Jay Byrd and Steven Cheslik-DeMeyer, now live in Nashville, they logged time in the Big Apple before relocating here last fall. But the sound of the aforementioned song is pure hillbilly, even if they're talking about getting bushwhacked by switchblade-wielding thugs. By the way, Jay Byrd usually performs in a dress. Hmmmmm. Y'AII performs tonight at The ExitIn, 2208 Elliston Place, as part of Billy Block's Western Beat Roots Revival.

Also on the bill tonight: The Hillbilly Idols, Kristi Rose, Sue James, Pin Monkey, Lonesome Bob, Tim Carroll and Alex Call. Music starts at 7 p.m. $5. 321-4400. The Toast Band accomplishes that rarest of feats they actually concoct music that can only be called a Southern rock style of funk (you know, like Wet Willie used to do so effortlessly).

Elsewhere the band does Isley Brothers-style funk (Seeing Red), and some Allman Brothers-type, laid- i 1 'a of Brooklyn, N.Y. Their latest single is One More Try, a remake of George Michael's hit But the girls co-wrote three of the songs on Fairy Tales and worked with producers Denzel Foster and Thomas McElroy for some of the tracks. As for the difficulties of sudden success, Kia replied: "Traveling a lot and not being able to spend time with your family as much or your friends." There is also the cpressure of trying to re-create the success of Lately, which sold more than 1 mil BvNEKESA MUMBI MOODY Associated Press Like many of their peers, Kia, Nikki and Tonia like to giggle about typical teen-age stuff-boys, shopping and parties. But the trio known as Divine doesn't have time for much kid stuff these days. Since they hit it big with their smash single Lately, it's been work and more work for the teen group.

"The only thing we really have time to do," said Nikki Bratcher, joined by Kia Thornton and Tonia Tash in unison, "is is Pi P.

lion copies. "You don't want to fail," said Kia. "You just wonder, is it going to be as successful as Lately?" But they try not to let the worries of the business spoil their fun. And they credit God for keeping them focused, saying they are well-aware that their success may not be forever. "This business has humbled us.

There's so much going on in this business, politically, the rumors of it, the myths of the industry," said Nikki. "As long as we pray, things will always be right for us, and we realize that what the business is and what we don't want to be involved in. So we're very careful about what we do, what we say, how we act in public, and how we treat ourselves and our families and our friends." shop, sleep, eat and talk on the phone." Then they break into laughter. "Sometimes we can't go to the movies. We can't really go to parties.

Never parties," said 17-year-old Kia. Not that they're complaining, mind you. They are currently traveling with teen sensation 'N Sync on a whirlwind tour that makes a stop for a sold-out show tonight at the Nashville Arena. And they wouldn't trade their overworked status for anything. "We feel like the chosen ones," said Tonia, 19.

"We are doing what millions of teens people period dream of doing. It's just an honor and it's hard work and we're capable. I know one day. we'll be rewarded." Indeed, they already have been. send them out to record companies, trying to get a record deal that way." But the three girls became Divine when they were brought together by Gaman Entertainment.

"They went out scouting for these girls, and through word of mouth, they found each of us, and they came out to see us individually and decided that we would be the best elements for Divine," said 18-year-old Nikki, of Newark, NJ. That was four years ago. Last year, the teens put out their first album, Fairy Tales, a melodic, soulful collection of songs that recalls the girl groups of the '60s. "The Divine sound is basically angelic harmonies, not to boast, but I mean it really is beautiful harmonies. It's very pretty," said Tonia, These days, they hang out with stars like Monica and make trips to Europe for publicity tours.

But just a few years ago, the three girls didn't even know each other, and were struggling separately to make it in the entertainment business. "All I did was go to school and sing for my school and sing for chorus, work at Wendy's and the Gap," said Kia, from Englewood, J.
