April ISM Too Many Cooks Is Sophia Loren related to Mussolini make a good mix ASK DICK KLEINER By DIAHANN Herald Special Too Many Cooks made theii Toronto club debut at the Horseshoe Tavern on Monday A Montreal based band although the core duo are natives of Sherbrooke in the Eastern Townships the Cooks proved to be a hard rocking very energetic quintet with an edge Led by vocalist Richard DAnjoii the group features Dan Georgesco on guitar and keyboards Paul Tougas on guitar Jean Francois on bass and Benoit Clement on drums Ap parently five is just the right number for the broth because the sound was tight and tense quite the opposite of their debut album Too Many Cooks on their own Main Street The album could have been made by another group the music is so different The songs on the album have a definite pop flavor nothing too arresting or original Live however the songs verged on speed metal rough and hard giv ing the listener a whole different impression of the group It is rare to hear a band with such a split personality on record and stage On stage singer Richard jumped around drank lots of water- then spit most of it out on the members of the band The rest of the troupe did not seem to mind in the least and the guitarists played off each other and D and Georgesco are the only members of the band to appear on the album the rest are hired guns Judging by the way they performed as an ensemble these guns should definitely stick together Outstanding numbers were Rita a Beatles tinged tune with the pro mise of a top forty hit I Refuse to Die typical of the tough sound not found on the record nor the song Dont Take Me Away which is on the album but sounds a lot better live and some extremely pretty ballads like Where Have You Been Unlike the usual hard rock bands slow songs the Cooks ballads had texture and depth with some truly lovely riffs The founding members met in a kitchen and used to jam there There is also a bootleg record of a Rolling Stones song called Too Many Cooks hence the name The group toured with British pop star Samantha Fox last year ing their first national exposure If they keep up the live sound they should have no trouble gaining na tional recognition in the next cou ple of years I recently read that Sophia Is a blood relation to Mussolini Is this I came away the feeling that she was his daughter or his listers or brothers daughter Almond NY A No Sophia isnt a blood relative of the Italian dictator But there is a family connection Sophias sister was for a tune married to one of Mussolinis sons In fact they had two children The couple subsequently divorced and she Is now married to a doctor Q What happened to the TV series It starred David Soul and It only aired for a few episodes in the spring of 81 NA Reading
