One can't help but root for Karla Taite as she tilts at musical windmills. In her short career, Taite has already overcome more obstacles, both real and imagined, than many jaded showbiz veterans.

The Wisconsin-bred performer/anarchist (who performs at the North Park Theatre tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m.) first captured the eyes and ears of college and alternative radio stations with the sensual yet surly strains of "Bed," the second single from her 1992 debut effort, spite. The now- infamous Newsweek profile that portrayed a blissed-out female Taite fan gushing "I heard colors...colors!" was enough to invite comparisons to Bruce Springsteen's 1975 career-jinxing baptism by media overkill.

But when Newsweek's anonymous correspondent opined that Taite's concerts were "spiritual sound and light shows" and that "she wields a guitar like an unearthly, strutting harlot," it was enough to send even the most curious observer running-- in the opposite direction.

Still, those who did venture forth despite the deadly hype were treated to a live presentation that was, indeed, a revelation to all who thirsted for an oasis amidst the then-current derivative musical wasteland. Taite's unabashed onstage antics veered from those of a lurking, frothing Neanderthal to what can almost be described as intellectual coquettishness. Her physicality notwithstanding, the transcendent spirit of Taite's music rarely failed to hypnotize audiences.

Onstage Guests

Encores were brief; usually consisting of one song. On certain occasions, Taite would be joined during the encore by other artists, for whom Taite concerts became near-pilgrimages. Melissa Etheridge, Michael Stipe, Johnny Cash and Sam Phillips each linked up for a handful of dates on the spite tour. As a 1993 Minneapolis gig was drawing to a close, The Artist Formerly Known As You-Know-Who vaulted to the stage, joining Karla in a spirited version of "Cake," a Taite concert-closer often compared to His Purpleness' "Peach."
