The Morning Times, Scranton, PaT Monday, February 12, 1990 C-5 Band Rockaholix up to new Tryx Area band Rockaholix is up to new tricks. The hand has recently re-formed as Tryx. Wilkes-Barre Lsed Rockaholix built a following by doing covers of rock classics of The Who (Jenesis and Led Zeppelin, especially with under 21 audiences. At the same time, the Rockaholix were receiving a lot of concerned criticism over the name "Rockaholix" from organizations such as MADD and SAP who felt the name was to closely related to "alcoholics." On the advice of Artie Fletcher and Leo Petrucci of Platinum Artists, the band changed its name to Tryx and embarked on a new beginning. Having many different influences, the band got together aand started writing originals material.

"Our originals are hard to describe. There are so many influences for us to draw from. Basically we like anything that's good and there a lot of good music out there," guitarist John Kennedy SaiTryx is Kennedy on lead vocals and guitar; Bob Tavlor on lead guitar and vocals; Gmo Ginley, euitar bass and vocals; Pat Krawchak on keyboards, bass and vocals and Tommy DeNairo on drums and vocals.

Rabindranath Tagore. Ira Corn, founder of our bridge team, The Aces, had this to say about beginners' mistakes in bridge: "The novice concerns himself 'mainly with the 13 cards he's looking at; the intermediate player with his 13 cards and those of dummy; the expert with all 52 cards in the deck." Today's hand provides an example of beginner's myopia.

East wins two diamonds and shifts to the spade jack. West takes South's queen with his ace and shifts to a trump. South wins his jack, cashes the spade king and ruffs a spade with dummy's small trump. He gets back to his hand with the club king and ruffs his last spade with dummy's trump king, West alertly discarding a club. Dummy's club ace is cashed, but that is the end; there is no safe way to get off dummy, and West scores a trump trick for down one.

What was wrong with South's plan? He was guilty of concentrating only on setting up his own hand! How much easier it is to establish the dummy. The first four tricks are the same. However, instead of ruffing a spade in dummy, South draws one more trump with his queen. Next he cashes the king and ace of clubs and ruffs a third club with his ace. With clubs established, he leads a trump to dummy's king, and it's a routine matter to claim 10 tricks.

I) A ft the end, she's lucky to get within fin the rest of the album, which is merely good, Raindogs holds the listener's attention with painterly ANSWER: Spade ace. Dummy has ruffing values. Lead trumps to cut these down. 1990, United Feature Syndicate striking distance ol baae. "Mannai-tan Skyline" proves that Fordham is no stranger to the work of Phoebe Snow, but again, her execution provides a less-than-flattering comparison.

It's not just that Fordham is derivative; her cribbing doesn't even bring people closer to her drearily conventional compositions. If Fordham has something to say on "Porcelain," it's hidden beneath her icy, impenetrable lyrics and self-conscious vocalizing. There's no there there, and if Virgin is smart, this will be the last time we'll have to endure such a void. JOE LOUIS WALKER, "Blue Soul" (Hightone, The title says it all. Like Robert Cray and his slew of wannabes, Joe Louis Walker lives at the junction of the blues and urban soul.

But unlike many pretenders, Walker knows that the fire to make that hybrid credible comes from sheer rhythm-section intensity the execution of little blues-based ensemble figures to tie off each chorus, a funk bass line, or (in the case of "Ain't Nothin' Goin' a stomping second-line blues outing to create the kind of elemental backbeat that commands attention. COUNTRY Reviewed by Ken Tucker THE O'KANES, "Imagine Their name leads you to assume that the O'Kanes is a sibling act. But Jamie O'Hara, from Ohio, and Kieran Kane, a New Yorker, are a couple of canny pals who have managed to score no fewer than six Top 10 country hits on the basis of their idiosyncratic, mostly acoustic style, and this third album only adds to their achievement. Working in a field characterized by its conservatism and feel-good optimism, the O'Kanes have been welcomed for their downbeat catchi-ness. Singing in tight, plaintive harmony, they ask questions Should "Is the Party and offer denials Ain't Love," "Tell Me I Was creating pessimistic country music that nonetheless soothes and comforts the listener because it's so darn pretty and irresistible.

They're the most beguiling young guys in country music today, and perhaps the most thoughtful and shrewd as well. RATINGS: excellent; good; fair; it poor. KNIGHT-RIDDER NEWSPAPERS POP Reviewed by Tom Moon RAINDOGS, "Lost Souls" (Atco, Vi) The really good songs on "Lost Souls," the debut album from Boston's Raindogs, are as stirring as anything rock 'n' roll has produced in recent memory. The opener, "I'm Not Scared," underscores the lyrics' "be-ready-for-anything" existentialism with gospel harmony and a determined rhythmic kick. "Cry for Mercy," which is bracketed by gritty acoustic guitar and a seesawing violin counter gives a nod to "Lonesome Mellencamp while displaying the subtle vocal range of songwriter Mark Cutler.

"Too Many Stars" uses charging 44 rock to examine fizzled dreams of greatness. "This Is the Place" suggests what the latter-day Replacements might sound like if they were cut from finer cloth: There are moments of confident, expansive guitar-band interplay, and a chorus colored by faint irony and a wide vocal harmony to match the yearning inflection of the lead. 5 20, 9:50 also "Back to the Future II" (rG), 3:10, "Internal Affairs" (R), 2, 4:30, 7:10, "Ski Patrol" (PG), 1:15, 3:15, 5:15, 7:15, "Tango and Cash" (R), 1, 3:10, 5:10, 7:30, "The War of the Roses" (R), 1:45, 4:15, 7:20, 9:45. arranging tncKs line me iwo-guitar lock that detonates "Phantom Flame," and the keening ostinato violin phrases that give some songs a movie-score tension. Just a few steps past bar-band stage, Raindogs has managed to sustain something that has eluded many of its rock elders: the balance of gut and intellect.

May it take them far. JULIA FORDHAM, "Porcelain" (Virgin, Let's help British songstress Julia Fordham with the thank-yous that somehow got left off her second album, the dismal "Porcelain." On the opening track, she borrows a particularly growling vocal turn from Joan Armatrading and the final wordless chorus from Kate Bush. The whole of "Girlfriend" echoes the pained phrasing Rickie Lee Jones has made a trademark, though Jones would never stoop to such obvious verse-chorus design. "For You Only For You" finds the flexible Fordham trying to bend herself into jazz-diva Sarah Vaughan, and failing miserably.
