Even if you're not a big AC/DC fan (but especially if you are, of course) you may find yourself highly enamoured of Bare Rump, an AC/CD clone outfit with a twist. One of the highlights, a real rarity anywhere, is that guitarist Angus Young is portrayed by a woman: tiny fireball Angie Sandow. As you can see in the accompanying photo, she isn't shy about getting out into the audience, or even on top of it! Even more remarkable, she plays faultlessly despite requiring a prosthetic device for her right hand, which is noticeably different in size and shape from the average person's. Totally unselfconcious about the "defect", Sandow wants everyone to know that Brad van Lenthe of Sunnybrook Hospital in TO worked with her to develop the device, which she calls "fantastic". She says she wants to "help other 'disabled' people realize that they too can do anything they wish to." Check 'em out Fri. Nov. 28 (no cover) at Wolf's Howl, 2399 Cawthra. -17

The local band Bare Rump pays tribute to AC/DC this Saturday at Sandy's Billiards in Meadowvale. And, in a strange twist, they've got an Angus Young look-alike in lead guitarist Angie Sandow. Her husband Lloyd Walsh is the drummer. Sandow came up with this idea three years ago, taking the name from an AC/DC bootleg album. "Twenty years ago I played whatever he wanted, now we're going to play what I want," she said with a laugh. They do AC/DC, from You Shook Me All Night Long and Hell's Bells on down. "They're a good band, and it's fun music to play. It gets people going," said Walsh. "People in their 30s, 40s and 50s come out. You're kind of bonding with them and feeling like a kid." His wife adds, "It's nice seeing people having fun. They don't have a lot of time today, with road rage, this rage and that rage ... whatever." Sandow started playing guitar at the age of 12. While Joan Jett and Chrissy Hynde were female role models, she also became hooked on AC/DC's guitar assaults and she remains a major fan, having seen them in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Calgary, Ottawa, Detroit and Toronto on their last tour. She has the backstage photos with the band to prove it! Sandow appears on stage in a replica of the trademark suit worn by Young, AC/DC's lead guitarist. And amazingly, because of a birth defect to her arm, she replicates his high-speed solos with the help of a prosthetic device that she dons for gigs. "One of the reasons I dressed up as Angus, Gene Simmons or Alice Cooper all my life, was because people would always stare at me ... and I figured I was going to give them something to really stare at," she said. "I just like doing the Angus thing. I love being in the suit. I love the attention." While his wife is a financial process manager with a large manufacturer/distributor by day, Walsh has taken on the role of band manager after recently being downsized out of his job. Show time is 9:30 p.m. at Sandy's Billiards, 6400 Millcreek Rd., at Erin Mills Pkwy. - The Mississauga News
