ieee February 13, 1981 entertainment The Other Press Villains deported Entered Canada on illegal visas and spent weekend in jail by Philip J. Staines British Ska band ‘The Villains,’in the midst: of making a-name in Van- couver, have been deported. The band left the country on Tuesday for their native Glascow. : The London based band was to do a one week stand at Gary Taylor's Rock Room but on Feb 3 their show was interrupted by the authori- ties, and three members of the band were sent to Okalla prison. Those involved refused to give any direct reason as to why the three Villains were sent to jail. Club owner Gary Taylor said:‘‘They just didn’t have their shit together when they got over here. They’re here illegally and the au- thorities have come down hard on them.”’ The incident was a sur- prise to band members who had planned to stay in Vancouver for two months. The band’s saxophone player said that there was also trouble in Toronto. ‘‘When we were in To- ronto I was ordered to leave. a club by a person armed with a crowbar,’’ he said: The three villains not in jail said that they are wor- ried for ‘‘the personal safety of the three members in jail. One member said: “‘Those three are in jail with their skinheads and their band gear. In jail that can be dangerous.’’ Their experience in Van- couver will do wonders for the bands reputation at home. next week Amimo reviewed GoD _ SAVE page seven we? ° eae *, Taseree ee e? = ree v2 . . ‘ake 5 = st a .” @. . wa abe YASI4 Sis, a etle % ° . eee es e . one Se alsee » s Fitts!

Staines In this day and age of rip-off inflation, it’s nice to know that there are some bargains, and when these bargains appear in the form of entertainment it’a a plea- sant surprise. The bargain I'm refering to is community theatre, something most people are well aware of. Community theatre pro- vides the public with ,the opportunity to view single or double billed movies for the mere sum of three dollars. The films shown at these cinemas range from ‘“‘Adventures of Pinochio’’ to The Who’s , ‘‘The kids are alright’’ to the genius of Roman Polanski or Jean Luc Goddard: It is always ‘Cash by Phil Staines You could call ‘Cash Cows,’ compilation with a flair. You certainly won’t find this one in the K-Tel file. Virgin records has com- piled a group of modern compositions that range from pop to bizzare experi- mentalism, although ultra- pop is the dominating fac- tor. This album is defin- ately designed to add a modern touch to today’s clique party, while soothing anybody in a drugged stu- por. theatres possible to find a film that suits the taste because they are forever changing, and if you miss a film, rest assure it will be around again. There are five cinemas of this kind operating in the greater Vancouver area; the Ridge, notorious for its midnight masses of cult movie followers, the Savoy on Main and Broadway, the Lyric on Granville strip, the Hollywood on west Broad- way, and a_ newly opened cinema at 7th and Commercial called the Van- couver East cinema. Community theatre is certainly an economical and worthwhile form of enter- tainment. Ridge and Savoy movie schedules can be found in most Douglas college cafe- terias. Cows’ ‘Cash Cows,’ features psychadelics such as ‘Cap- tain Beefheart,’ and Tan- gerine Dream,’ the exper- imental sillyness of the 80,s with bands like ‘The Flying Lizards,’ ‘XTC,’ ‘‘Magz zine,’ and Fingerprinz.’ The most _ outstanding. feature of the album is its low price. This album will satisfy the most daring cur- iosity and provide insight into today’s pop. Recom- mended to everyone, bu! make sure you play it at 45 rpm’s.
