The Imposters — Steve Nieve on keyboard, Pete Thomas on drums and Davey Faragher (the newer member) on bass — could summon the full-tilt, organ-topped sound of the early Attractions. But just as often, they attacked a song like a school of piranhas, biting into it from all directions with constantly changing arrangements: terse bass and drums that were suddenly enveloped in piano chords, then switched to a guitar-driven stomp. There was strategy everywhere but no routine or complacency. What had once been taken for granted, like youth, was now something to fight for. | The Imposters — Steve Nieve on keyboard, Pete Thomas on drums and Davey Faragher (the newer member) on bass — could summon the full-tilt, organ-topped sound of the early Attractions.

It could have been '79, except everyone looked a little paunchier, a little jowlier, both on the stage and in the audience. But there was Elvis Costello — horn-rimmed glasses, Fender guitar and all. He blasted away at an invitation-only show at the Bowery Ballroom last week to mark today's release of his new album, ''When I Was Cruel'', a collection of beat-driven numbers best enjoyed in the sweaty confines of a dance club. | |||
It was reminiscent of the April Fool's Day night [[Concert 1979-04-01 New York (1st show)|23]] [[Concert 1979-04-01 New York (2nd show)|years]] [[Concert 1979-04-01 New York (3rd show)|ago]] when Mr. Costello played three gigs in three Manhattan clubs in a few hours. Still, something was missing. Not the fire of the lyrics, new and old, but the smoke. That is because smoking was banned. Signs explained that the prohibition was "at the request of the artist." — that highly agitated man on the stage. | |||
"I guess Elvis couldn't deal with smoke in the room," said Kenny Lienhardt, the club's production manager. | |||
He said the no-smoking request, which came from Mr. Costello's people on the day of the show, was unusual because it applied not only to the main floor, where Mr. Costello performed, but also to the first-floor lounge, where he did not. Mr. Costello, it seems, has given up smoking. In recent interviews, he has said that he has also quit drinking, but he did not make sobriety a requirement for attendance: the Bowery Ballroom's three bars did big business. | |||
