The Masterbeats, featuring (}â€"r) Bob, bad times over the years. Coral Andrews Chronicle Special The name‘s Bink. She‘s not just a performer. She‘s a presence, with mysterious charisma cozing through her music and the lyrics. She lives her art. A member of the local group Masterbeats, Bink is on the brink of emerging as a fine artist over the next few years, if she can survive the bittersweet triumphs and tragedies of the music game. The Masterbeats have been together three years. The times haven‘t been all that good. Sometimes the band stagnated, but in the past few months, with personnel changes and new attitude, the fourâ€"member set has matured tremendously and is still growing â€" like a dark, yet strangely naive, chameleon. Bink, Bob, Ken, and newest asset/addition Merv, (they prefer first names only) opened for England‘s Modern English, Wednesday night in London, and Thursday night at the Waterloo Inn. The band was encouragingly wellâ€"received and supported by the crowd. They played several cover tunes, new material, and their favorite original, Dial M. The Masterbeats are an area group that is consistently getting good venues and is manâ€" oeuvring toward more lucrative and challenging opportunities. Bink has no gender as she sing/says her words. With a bit more pizzazz, and more attention to enunciation, she soon could be a voice to be reckoned with. Bink. herself, claims this is due to nervous ness. ‘"With all the times I‘ve played on the stage, you‘d think I‘d get used to it. But now as we‘re getting more serious. I sometimes get more Bink is aggressive, emoting in a cold, indifferent way. There are sparks of dynamic stage flair, but sadly, too few. _ Bink at the controls of future music fate The professionals listed in the Better Business Bureau Fact Finder can help. SWIMMING POOLS USE IT . . . TRUST IT! Bink, Ken and Murray, have had good times and paranoid," she said huskily. Ken, on bass is guileless and eyeâ€"catching with his shock of white blond hair in contrast to his eternally blackâ€"leather garb. Bob, who plays lead guitar with a serious determination, and Meryv with his devilâ€"mayâ€"care manner, complete the trio. Engineer Doug Biggs recently did a studio demoâ€"tape with the Masterbeats and found them an exciting challenge. o o_ â€" "They are a strong combination. Merv is an accomplished performer and Ken (the younâ€" gest) has come a long way in a short time. Bob‘s a good old pro and Bink is just on the brink, but I feel she may still be holding back. I tried to get a specified sound from their work and from playing around with different structure and technique, I believe I may have achieved the desired result." The Masterbeats music is solid, music with a punch, something to grab you, and Merv‘s beat is the perfect accentuation. Bink‘s musical loves go from one extreme to the other. She adores Siouxee Sioux of Siouxee and the Banshees, and in stage presence Bink comes close to her idol, though she‘s not always consciously aware of it. She‘s also impressed with blue‘s legendary Billie Holliday, an interesting juxtaposition of preferred vocalists, yet both have the same melancholy essence Bink is capable of. Bink‘s lyrics stem from things that bother her, or whatever she may be thinking about at a given time in her life. . o â€" Given more time, this striving, young innovaâ€" tor and her three men in black, with their calculating blackâ€"leather attitudes to life, could someday really give the Canadian music moguls a run for their money.
