Page.4C;f"he Dany lowall- Iowa City, Iowa - Monday, April 22, 1991 Mainstage, Soundstage . provide Riverfest tunes By Matt Carberry The Daily Iowan Spring has sprung and one's fancy turns toward thoughts of ... music, and to Riverfest 1991 in particular. On "Super Saturday," April 27, the Mainstage and Soundstage events will provide the excitement. Mainstage, at Philip G. Hubbard Park, is scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. and wind up at 7 p.m. The event features the nationally recognized rock bands Soul Asylum, The Connells, Three Merry Widows and Daloll. Soundstage, a concert featuring some of the best local musicians in a relaxed atmosphere of jazz, blues and folk, will take place on the patio of the Union Wheelroom from noon until 5 p.m. In addition, throughout the week of Riverfest (April 20-25) student jazz groups from the UI Music Department will perform over the lunch hour on the downtown Pedestrian Mall. Moving right along to "Super Saturday" On April 27: Mainstage, sponsored by S.C.O.P.E., promises to leave the rock & roll connoisseur with a satiated palate. Soul Asylum and the Connells - bands with intelligence, integrity and raw talent - have recently started to receive the national attention they deserve; the Three Merry Widows and Daloll are also attempting to find a well-deserved spot in the hearts of open-minded music fans. The Mainstage schedule is as follows: 11:30 a.m. - Battle of the Bands winner Blueprint; 12:30 p.m. - Daloll; 2 p.m. - Three Merry Widows; 3:30 p.m. - The ConneUa; 5:30 p.m. - Soul Asylum. In case of rain, the event will be held in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Soul Asylum is one of the muchheralded Minneapolis trinity that also includes the Replacements and HUsker Du, but that's only a starting point for quick reference. Since its beginnings in 1983, Soul Asylum has produced a slew of critically acclaimed releases (including last year's "And the Horse They Rode In On"), but it is the band's live show that takes them over the top. Notorious in person for an anythinggoes romp, Soul Asylum is a must-see. In a word, the band is real and, believe it or not, one of the best rock & roll bands past, present or future. The Connells have been making waves in current alternative-music circles with their unique and powerful guitardriven pop. Their 1989 LP, "Fun and Games," spent over two months in the Top 10 on various college charts, and their new record, "One Simple Word," may well do the same. Hailing from Raleigh, N.C., the band brings its pop tour-de-force north of the Mason-Dixon Line for the pleasure of all Riverfesters. The Three Merry Widows play in support of their debut album, "Which Dreamed It." The Widows' retro approach defies the stagnancy of most '60s-influenced groups and tries to make new sense of the Summer of Love. This St. Louis combo weaves a web of acoustic folk melodies, an unleashed guitar, earthy rhythms and almost angelic harmonies. Daloll, also from Minneapolis, performs a rich and emotional brand of reggae. You might recall the group's highly charged set at last year's Riverfest. This year promises to be more of the same, only better. If "college rock" isn't your idea of a great way to spend an afternoon in the sun, Riverfest also brings you Soundstage, featuring slightly more mellow local acts. Jazz, blues, folk and deviations thereof comprise the lineup of this year's Soundstage. The schedule for Soundstage is as follows: Noon-SteamBoIU'I; 1 p.m.-Peter Girone; 2 p.m. - The Willy Willey The DIlly ~ 111ft UI grldu .., John PetoM Ind Rob Schuftz ling " Norw~ln Wood" IIr lit ae .....

William, The Daily Iowan In the past few years, more and more cyclists are replacing traditional road bikes with mountain bikes. The popularity of these bikes, particularly in the Iowa City area, has grown tremendously in recent years. "In the last two years, the popularity of road bikes is declining," said Mary Merulla of the Ordinary Bike Shop, 203 N. Linn St. "Mountain bikes have gotten a lot of people into the sport." Merulla estimated between 80 and 90 percent of the store's sales are mountain bikes. Dave Meisel, an employee of World of Bikes, 723 S. Gilbert St., said although mountain bikes have been around since the late '70s, they did not become popular in the Midwest until the mid-'SOs. "Mountain bikes are the most popular bike as far as our sales go," he said. The versatility of the mountain bike is one of the reasons for its popularity, Meisel said. "'The mountain bike is a very sensible method of transportation," he explained. "'They're rugged bike8; they cen Jumdle potholes and can go down "In the last two years, the popularity of road bikes is declining. Mountain bikes have gotten a lot of people into the sport.
