Brewer and Shipley Offset Failing Funk 'n' Punch
By LARRY HUFFMAN Kansan Reviewer
Notorious Hoch *Auditorium*, bad acoustics, strange lightning effects, sitting in a Saturday night's appeal by Brewer and Brewery. Overcrowding the after-mentioned advertisers non-exactly ideal warm-up group, they pleased the audience using music from folk style of music.
MOST OF THE old Flippers' horn and fun-time sound was gone, giving way to a group that knew his music played, however was hardy nearly (Neil Young's Birds in Music) were examples. and much of their message was trite. Between numbers they displayed no showmanship, but the occasion asked for applause.
Opening the show was Funk'n'Punch; a band that went on to become The Flippers and the Sanctuary Band. Following an introduction billing them as 'heavy—which is the same,' they understand—the four members proceeded to present a 45-minute set which offered little in the way of fun.
Their playing, while rarely poor, never got beyond fair. They might be adequate for play at a local school, but featuring local talent, but they aren't quite ready to tackle a job at a concert of any magnitude. Their best work probably came from their player. Roger Bruner, guitarist, player.

The contrast between the two groups was obvious from the moment Brewer and Shipley came on stage. They are professionals and know exactly what they want them. Instead of telling the audience they are going to talk to them, they talk to them.

Brewer and Shipley also were very aware of what the audience expected in terms of the songs they would perform, and was dominated by songs of established popularity, either of their own or Bob Dylan's. They listened to songs like "Tarko Road," "Shake Off the Demon" and "Wich-tai-to" with the same folk music and vocalization that sells their albums.
Brewer Questions Stardom
n' Punch did little to set any kind of warm for Brewer and Shipley, whom the audience was more than ready to see.
"I'm really fortunate," Mike Brewer, one-half of the folk-tune of Brewer and Shipley, said recently. "I can make a lively, making song."
Brewer said there were advantages and disadvantages to becoming successful in the music world.

"After a show, people used to invite us over to their houses, invite us to parties, come in with drinks. Then the Brewer said, "After the hit record 'One Toke Over The Line,' they just left us alone. Now when we're on the road we spend most time alone in hotel rooms."
Brewer said that people thought famous musicians were different from others.
"Some people really freaked out when the Beatles broke up," Brown said. "Man, they're just as great as the other musicians before. They played music together. They'll play music again. They're just people."

BREWER SAID another
"We want to spend more time with our families. If you want to make a performance, if you want to make a lot of money, you've got to burn something."
Brewer said the group's upcoming meeting will last until late fall. He said the group was going to concentrate on writing and reading.
"We make music," Brewer said. "When it ceases to be fun something is wrong."
"We'll perform when it makes sense," Brewer said. "And don't give up on performance to perform. It got to the point where we weren't making music, just playing."
" 'Shake Off the Demon' is a reflection of a period of our lives, and its not a period I dug." Brewer said. "Everyone has demons they have to shake off, that we had to get off the road."
BREWER WAID one of the advantages of the music business
was that musicians could support themselves doing something they enjoyed.

"I've been in the business about nine years," Brewer said. "Until about two years ago the only money I was made from was a royalty. Because we can make a living from record and song royalties.
Brewer said the group moved to the Kansas City area to get away from the "insanity of the music business."
"I definitely dislike the Los
Angeles area," Browe said.

Mediocre Melodies At Band Concert
BREWER CRITICIZED the "Tonight Show" for its big business attitude.
By LARRY HUFFMAN
and PAT MOORE Kansan Reviewers
Anyone who went to the Concert Band concert at Murphy Theatre Sunday afternoon could be easily forgiven if for a fleeting moment you stumbled into a Rogers and Hammerstein musical. Many of the selections, conducted by George Bögerh, had the same music as jigged so many musical scores from the late '40s basilisk movies.
Compositions by Frank Erickson and Robert H. Pearson were characteristic of the program. Overall, the concert was steeped in medicity, the beats were fast, the tuba solo by Jamie Barnes displaying competence but a gross lack of professionalism.
Little can really be said about a merit or talent as a good job, but good job what was in front of them—what was in front of them was not good job

BREWER AND SHIPLEY's relaxed attitude toward what they were doing was infectious enough to establish the strong group-audience rapport that is essential for good concertics. They talked about "One Toke Over the Line," as their travels through the South before "Don't Want to Die in Georgia" and introduced "Oh as his they" "Charlie Manson psychiatric country song."

Brewer and Shipley are not spectacular guitarists, nor do they do the world's greatest vocals; their music they play does not require that. They are musicians of the kind of music that other people enjoy because everyone involved can sit back and unwind.
