NORTHWEST HERALD Section B Friday, September 17, 1905 Pag* 5 Entertainment Lindholm goes after recording contract By Jeff CoUis Herald staff correspondent Many fans and local clubs may think that the rock group Lindholm have parted company. But. the actual truth reveals that these four "rock-n-roll animals" have actually been in a 15-month hibernation period in preparation for their next attack. Lindholm, who played local bars for almost 12 years, withdrew from the club circuit in June 1984 to give chase to. a recording contract. Although pome might wonder how a band can get signed if they're not playing publicly, guitarist Greg Lindholm has the answer. "You can't get signed without your own material," he said. "The biggest problem the band had was being caught in the club syndrome, having to play the copy material. We weren't having fun playing in clubs anymore. You can't make it without a product, so that's what we're doing - putting our product together." Confining themselves to a basement, Lindholm have been working solely on original music, and hoping to record mini-album this fall. After 15 roller-coaster years, they consider it a step in the right direction. Lindholm was established in 1970 by Greg with brothers Mark and Rick at the respective ages of 15,12 and seven. Their current line-up was completed with the addition of guitarist Barry Wolfinsohn. The marriage of Greg's experience and Barry's talent quickly put the Lindholm train in high gear on the right track. The twin guitar attack,, coupled with the rhythms of Mark's drumming and Rick's bass work (both also cover vocals) gave the band what it felt was its best sound ever. * Over the next two years, Lindholm lit up the stages of such bars as The Rock It North, The Edgewater, and The Thirsty Whale. Their shows and strong following helped them to become one of the most popular bands on the circuit. ' i • ' lindholm may also be regarded as a grandfather to rock bands in McHenry County. Mark Lindholm said they helped such bands as Axis, Truce and Artemis get their start as opening acts. But in 1962, Wolfinsohn decided to leave the band. "I got a fabulous offer, so I left," he said. "I would have been willing to stay if they had been willing to do original music." New guitarists also brought personality conflicts, causing Mark to announce his departure too. "I was sick of it all," he said. "I vowed that the only way I'd return was if Barry rejoined." So an agreement was set up to bring the members back together. They would play their own music, take a shot at gettng signed, and stay out of Members of the rock grpup Lindholm include (from left) Rick Lindholm, Mark Lindholm, Barry Wolfinsohn and Greg Lind­ holm. The band has currently put its club appearances on hold while working on new, original material. the clubs. That decision is still being honored except ior a show at the Edgewater last May. "When we played the Edgewater," Greg said, "we wanted to see how the crowd would react to our songs." Lindholm is working on a demo tape off a home recording unit, and will not appear before the tape is completed. "When we do our next show, it will be to showcase the band," Greg said. "We want to show what we've done." "Our current goal is to refine our songs and make them simpler, Barry added. "We want to make our product better and better." Lindholm's change In format has bought out another change as well. "We're not as heavy metal as we used to be," Barry said. "We're lining ourselves more towards radio, and trying to develop a sound of our own. We're Lindholm, and that's it. We wantto be ourselves -- original. Eddie Arnold, Lennon Sisters come to Joliet "The Ambassador of Country Music," Eddy Arnold will be join­ ed by the Lennon Sisters in five performances at the Rialto Square Theatre, 102 N.

He is listed among the top four recording ar­ tists of all time, surpassed only by Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Bing Crosby. With hits such as "Cattle Call," "Make the World t^Whal- TMisty Blue/' he has sold more than 80 million records. 1 ' A member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Arnold was respon­ sible for bringing country music to Clarnegie Hall, where he received superlative reviews. In another "first" for country music, Ar­ nold's west coast nightclub debut Was made at the famous Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles, and he has since gone on to set attendance records at the JSahara Hotel In Las Vegas and Harrah's Clubs In Lake Tahoe, Reno and Atlantic City.

Mon­ day is a free day for all visitors. the son of a share-cropper, Arnold was brought up listening to the blues and mountain music of that region. His mother taught him to play an old Sears guitar and he practiced singing while plowing the fields. In 1940, Arnold went to work for the G rand Ole Opry as a member of Pee Wee King's Golden West Cowboys and in 1944, singed a long-term contract with RCA Records. He has remained a cor­ nerstone of that record label, and although he's shed his "Tennessee Plowboy" image for a more cosmopolitan one, Arnold still ap­ peals to his many fans with a warm, down-to-earth approach. Arnold likes to call himself a "Heinz 57 singer." He says, "I sing many different kinds of songs which mean something to many different kinds of people." He's been asked to run for governor of Tennessee, but plans to stick to singing, explaining that, "If I won, I wouldn't be able to sing anymore and then I Just wouldn't be me! " Now celebrating their 28th year in show business, Dianne, Peggy, Kathy and Janet Lennon grew up before American TV audiences' eyes as regulars on the "Lawrence Welk Show." The group was actually discovered by Lawrence Welk's son, who was Dianne's classmate. After manv appearances with Leifton Sisters fre­ quently worked with Jimmy Durante and Andy Williams on countless specials and variety shows. Over the years, their enormous popularity has continued to grow, and today The Lennon Sisters are in constant demand as headliners in major nightclubs throughout the world.
