LONDON (AP)
Robert, lead singer with the
Blow Monkeys, might be shy
but his lyties let the public in
on his religious feelings and
domestic tragedies.

LP, Animal Magic, is full of
lyrics about the breakup of
his marriage.

the songs deal with loss and
guilt.”

Nearly every song on the
album refers to God or makes
a religious reference. In Burn
the Rich he refers to the
“constant clawing of angels,”
and in the Top 40 hit, Digging
Your Scene there's this line:
“Every day I walk alone, and
pray that God won't see me.”

“I'm not really religious,”
Howard said. “I don't belong
to any given team, but I do
believe in God. I don't know
why I do, but I do.”

Howard picked up the
nickname Dr. Robert when
he was a youngster.

ALISTENER

“It doesn't have anything
to do with drugs,” he said. “I
think it eame about because
I'm quite shy and prefer to
listen to other people rather
than doing all the talking,” he
said in an interview.

Blow Monkeys’ album
has personal flavor

— Dr. ‘The rock group’s second Order with an American

ryhthm and blues style.

“Northern soul was just
going to a disco and listening
to obseure soul records.
Marvin Gaye was my all-time
favorite. Me and my friends
would pile into a bus and go
to Blackpool or Liverpool.
We'd take lots of speed and
dance all night,” he said.

In 1976, Howard's family
moved to Sydney, Australia,
where he attended university
and planned to become a
writer. On one assignment,
he interviewed an Aborigine
band who had a song called
The Blow Monkeys, which
became the name of his band
after he returned to England
and, was sidetracked from
writing into music.

BAND

In South London he met

saxophonist Neville Henry,
27, and the two began
writing songs. They were
joined by bassist Mick
Anker, 29, and drummer
Tony Kiley, 24, who were
already members of a jazz
group.
“| wanted more of a jazz
feel to the music, and Mick
and Tony added that,” How-
ard said.

Their first LP, Limping for
a Generation, made little
inpact but Animal Magic is
creating a stir.

NOVA SCOTIA
ARTIST VISITS
CASTLEGAR

By JOHN CHART EMD

Brent Homans, internationally known Nova Scotian
artist, and his wife Alice arrived in Castlegar last week
for a few days rest after an art-focused motor trip across
Canada.

Homans is well d with the K
having taught art at the Trail junior secondary school in
the early 1960s and has revisited the area several times
since

After leaving Trail and joining the famous Bedford
Institute of Oceanography in Halifax as a marine artist,
he finally established his own gallery in Hubbards, Nova
Scotia with his wife as business manager. He has been
painting steadily ever since and holds at least two shows
a

ear

Since Hubbards lies close to Halifax and the
much-painted Peggy's Cove, and since the artist's roots
go deep into this particularly beautiful and historic part
of the east coast (the Homans have lived for 160 years in
the area and the maternal line traces back to the Cookes
of the Mayflower and the United Empire Loyalists) his
works particularly his seascapes — capture the
particular flavor of the Atlantic coast.

To vary his pallette, Homans has spent a summer
sketching and photographing in the Yukon and several
winters painting and teaching around Pass Christian and
the New Orleans coast on the Gulf of Mexico.

His painting style, which he describes as somewhere
between realism and impressionism, has a strong sense of
immediacy and inner-seeing. And it is changing subtly
over the years. -

This is due, not only toa growing maturity but to the
discrete use of the camera as a supplementary tool.

“The camera and the sketch pad are my constant
companions,” he says, “since one cannot predict where
the next subject will appear.

“However, the camera is just a tool; it captures the

former Trail art teacher

immediate scene and saves a tremendous amount of time
and discomfort. But the beginning artist must learn the
basics of the craft, understand what he or she is doing
before even considering it. One must first learn how to

look and to see.”

Homan's works have been hung in Canada House and
Nova Scotia House London, England and in the White
House in Washington D.C., as well as in galleries and
private home across the continent in Canada and United

States.

‘The largest private collection in B.C. is probably that
of John and Bunny Charters of Castlegar.
