Region Mourns the Passing of Dennis Gomes

mA aR rC cH h 1 1 -- 7 7 ,, 2 20 01 12 2 •• A aT T LL A aN NT T II C c C c II T T YY W W EE EE K K LL YY M

Dennis Gomes’ reputation as a pioneering leader with a zest for life only partially accounted for how well-liked and respected he was as an individual, which is why his sudden passing at age 68 on Friday, Feb. 24, shocked and saddened many nationwide, particularly those in the Atlantic City region where he lived and worked. Mr. Gomes is survived by his wife, Barbara, and his children Mary, Danielle, Aaron and Gabrielle. His oldest son, Douglas, predeceased him by less than a month, on Jan. 28. Mr. Gomes was the top executive at three casino-hotels in Atlantic City, most recently Resorts, which he purchased with real-estate magnate Morris Bailey in August 2010. He had managed 14 casino-hotels in three states during a 28-year gaming career. When notified of his death, Bailey stated, in part: “We have not only lost a business partner who was an industry leader and visionary, we have lost a friend and family member. We are committed to continuing Dennis’ vision for Resorts and Atlantic City, and our success will be a tribute to his memory. Our thoughts and prayers are with Barbara, Aaron and the entire Gomes family.” Prior to heading up casino-hotels, Mr. Gomes was chiefly responsible for maintaining their integrity, first as a Nevada Gaming control Board Division chief and later as chief of Special Investigations of the N.J. Division of Gaming Enforcement. In august 2007, as a top former Nevada law-enforcement officer, mr. Gomes testified in Federal Court of Chicago in the largest organized crime case in United States history. His testimony helped convict five mob bosses of committing 17 murders. mr. Gomes died at Thomas Jefferson University hospital in Philadelphia of complications from kidney dialysis, his son Aaron Gomes told the Associated Press. Mr. Gomes had developed kidney problems and was undergoing dialysis treatments after breaking his back last year. “He unfortunately passed away of complications due to the dialysis,” said aaron Gomes. “he was the most unbelievable person I ever had the chance of meeting, and I was even more fortunate that he happened to be my father.” — Ray Schweibert

Maxwell Awards Honor All Levels of Gridiron Greatness

Members of football’s elite will return to Harrah’s on Friday, March 2, for the Diamond (75th) Anniversary Gala of the Maxwell Football Club Awards. Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck will receive the club’s top honor as voted by membership — the Maxwell Award for College Player of the Year, during its national awards dinner banquet starting 7:30pm. Luck joins past recipient Jim Plunkett as the second-ever Stanford player to claim the prize, as well as a long list of future NFL hall of Famers. Other awards will go to Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy as the outstanding pro coach, Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers as the pro player of the year, Archie Manning as the outstanding contributor to the game, and a dozen other awards on the pro, college and high school levels. ESPN’s mike Tirico (of Monday Night Football) will claim Harrah’s ninth annual outstanding broadcaster award. “Harrah’s is proud to host the 75th Annual Maxwell Football Club Awards and celebrate the incredible achievements of such gifted athletes,” said John Smith, Harrah’s GM and senior vice president. According to club president and former Eagles great Ron Jaworski, the club “honors excellence at all levels of football, from youth through the professional ranks, and is involved in promoting the game of football 365 days a year.” Founded in 1935, the Maxwell Club is the oldest football club in america. Nine years ago Jaworski negotiated the club’s national awards dinner relocation from Philadelphia to Atlantic City, where it

CURTAIN CALL

Mr. Pool Party By David J. Spatz

MPECCABLY DRESSED IN A TAILORED suit and a fashionably wide and colorful tie, Howard Weiss straddles the top two steps leading onto the small stage at The Pool at Harrah’s. The all-weather tropical hangout has been transformed from its daytime persona as a haven for the hotel’s middle-aged hotel guests into its pulse-pounding nightclub configuration. Thirty feet from the stage, hip hop star Wyclef Jean is chilling out in a comfortable cabana waiting for his cue. Weiss looks out at the crowd of several thousand people, most of them in their 20s and early 30s, and seems satisfied that everything looks and feels and sounds just right. He speaks into a Secret Service-style microphone hidden beneath the sleeve of his suit jacket. Suddenly, at the stroke of 1am, things begin to happen in a hurry. Jean, accompanied by DJ David Christian, makes his way to the stage, exchanges a few words with Weiss, and is introduced to the crowd. The Haitian-American singer and musician opens with a moment of silence and then a musical tribute to Whitney Houston, who died just hours earlier. Then Jean picks up a guitar and begins his mini-show. It’s just another night at the office for Weiss, who just might have the coolest job in A.C. It’s been a whirlwind nine-year ride for the 29-year-old Penn State graduate who thought his degree in hospitality management would lead to a career running restaurants. Weiss is director of nightlife operations for the eastern division of Caesars Entertainment, Inc. His job puts him in charge of about 20 venues, ranging from small lounges to the centerpiece of the gaming giant’s eastern operation, The Pool at Harrah’s Resort. More specifically, The Pool After Dark, which is what the unique facility is called several nights a week after the sun goes down. Weiss has helped refine the concept of bringing in celebrities, ranging from popular entertainers to reality show personalities, to host “pool parties.” The parties attract thousands of people who pay a cover charge to enter the facility and get to tell their friends they “hung out” with the likes of Hollywood naught girl Lindsay Lohan or Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi of MTV’s The Jersey Shore, even though they’ll never actually get close to the party’s host. Or they may get to hear a popular performer, like Jean or rapper/actor Ice-T, perform a mini-set on stage. Or perhaps rub elbows with actor Jaleel White, who played the popular and equally annoying Steve Urkel on the 1990s ABC sitcom Family Matters. “I think it’s very important to keep it fresh and have different styles of entertainment and not just keep it to one genre,” Weiss explains.

He likes to book celebrities that people can relate to across a mixed demographic. “We want to keep it interesting for our customers not only with celebrities but with reality TV stars and performers.” Weiss dabbled in nightclub promotions in New York while he was in college, and did an internship at Borgata before being hired by the casino after graduation. He worked his way through the ranks in the property’s Gypsy Bar, B-Bar, and Mixx nightclub before helping to open the mur.mur nightclub. Weiss moved to Las Vegas for an opportunity work at the trendy Pure nightclub, where he made a lot of contacts. He was eventually hired by Caesars Entertainment to take charge of nightlife operations for the gaming company’s eastern division. “But if someone asked me 10 years ago where I’d be today, I was definitely thinking restaurants,” he says. “But now being involved in the nightclub side of things, I don’t think I could ever go back to working in restaurants.” The Pool After Dark is mostly a threeday affair each week, with programming — whether it’s a house DJ or a celebrity — limited to Friday, Saturday and Wednesday, a night that caters more to local casino employees more than out-of-town guests. Any more than three nights and the club would run the risk of over-exposure, Weiss says. “Some of the reasons why clubs only have a shelf life of about five years is because they’re open too many nights,” he says. “We do a few one-offs on a Thursday or a Sunday, but any more than three nights on a consistent basis (and) you’re offering too much.” Adding blackjack tables recently to The Loft at The Pool expanded the entertainment options for Harrah’s guests, and the gaming tables “have been a home run for us.” Like many of his colleagues, Weiss is excited about the opening of Revel next month. The Angel Management Group — which runs the Pure nightclub in Las Vegas — will be operating the clubs in the $2.4 billion resort. Weiss welcomed the competition from his former employer. “I think more competition to the area can only help us build and brand Atlantic City as more of a destination than a one-day trip,” he says. “I hope it’ll grow the city and attract more people. We’re definitely excited.”

NIGHTLIFE

Atlantic City Bar & Grill

Local Haunt

They’ve built a reputation for good food at affordable prices, but the owners of Atlantic City Bar & Grill have also carved out a niche as a cool social hot spot. By Ray Schweibert

ypically establishments that says Gino Garofalo.

draw large gatherings due to their culinary quality see surges around lunch and dinner hours, with those arriving during nonpeak hours being far fewer. that’s rarely the case at the atlantic city bar & Grill, though, as from the outset — dating back to near the dawn of the first a.c. casino, Resorts, which is about a block away — it’s honed a reputation as a gathering place that sees a pretty constant stream of clientele no matter what time of day or night. that’s because for over 30 years brothers/ owners Ron and Gino Garofalo have provided not just a consistent quality of food and beverage, but a sort of sports bar-ish atmosphere that lends itself well to a fun social setting. it’s not uncommon to see casino employees, local cops and firemen, conventioneers and even the occasional celebrity stopping in after work to kick back. “after 12 [midnight] we’ll start to see all the locals and the casino employees showing up,”

“they come in and hang out till sometimes four in the morning. and it’s just a hangout — they sit at the bar, they mingle, they’ll have a few drinks. it’s become a popular place to just meet and socialize.” located at pacific and south carolina avenues, the atlantic city bar & Grill began life as a small pizza shop called mama tucci’s [their mom’s maiden name] in the late 1970s. later the family bought both sites of adjoining businesses, knocked down the connecting walls, and renamed the establishment the atlantic city bar & Grill. the corner lot has attached parking enclosed by a brick and wrought-iron wall (with a semi-sheltered area where patrons can go outside to smoke), and

there’s an overflow parking lot across pacific avenue. the bar seats about 15 and has several twoand four-top tables around it, and the main dining area, which is on a slightly lower level, includes a sliding wall panel that opens into a spacious second level. it’s used primarily for busier nights requiring more seating, but can also be rented for private parties and banquets with various party packs available. “saturday and sunday nights, when it gets really busy down here, we’ll use that for an overflow,” says Gino Garofalo. “it’s got its own kitchen up there and a computer/cash register system that covers everything. Otherwise we’ll rent it out for things like retirement parties, graduation parties, going-away parties, things like that. On special occasions we’ll open it up as a sort of public party area, like on st. patrick’s Day [march 17]. We’ll have live bagpipers up there and the whole place, upstairs and downstairs, will be packed. it’s going to be nuts.” between both levels and the main dining room, ac bar & Grill has nearly 50 tVs on the premises including several large flatscreens in the bar. there are 12 beers on tap, some of which rotate seasonally, and there’s

Where: S. Carolina and Pacific aves., A.C. When: Open daily, 11am-late. Phone: 348-8080; On the Web: acbarandgrill.com a “two for 10” menu monday through Friday during lunch hours that offers ample menu selections for just $5 apiece. the walls of the place are adorned with all sorts of historic atlantic city shots, particularly in the lower dining room where photos, reproduced with permission from the atlantic city Free public library, depict such bygone attractions as the steel pier’s diving horse, hackney’s Restaurant, the 500 club, the miss america pageant throughout the years, and others. the bar area includes dozens of shots of celebrities who’ve stopped by — from comics like Dom Deluise and pat cooper, to pseudo-celebs like nicole Richie and paris hilton (who were there to shoot a scene for their comedy/reality show The Simple Life), to philly sports legends and big-name boxing greats. in one shot, Ron Garofalo is standing beside the late former heavyweight champ Joe Frazier, and is wearing the philly legend’s white fedora. “i’m from philly, so i was always a big fan of Joe Frazier,” says Ron Garofalo. n

Go to WSOP.com for a full schedule, but structures haven’t been announced. Attendance at WSOP circuit events varies greatly around the country and unfortunately Atlantic City is not one of the more dominant stops on the calendar. For example, the last WSOP circuit event, held earlier this month at the Palm Beach Kennel Club in Florida, attracted more than 2,600 players for its opening event. No Atlantic City tournament, at any casino, has ever come close to that number of players. On the other hand, a circuit event in January at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas attracted only 482 players to its opening event. Atlantic City can kind of relate to the Vegas numbers. The circuit schedule runs from September to May, as the WSOP itself occupies the summer months. It leaves the city shut out during the busy summer season. Still, it’s nice to see some action going on at this time of year. Maybe Caesars will luck out with some early spring weather. Speaking of action, Atlantic City’s latest bout of bad beat mania is over. The full bad beat jackpot hit at the Borgata Sunday for $586,711 at about 8pm in a $1-$2-No Limit game. The hit came just about 13 hours after another player hit the small bad beat jackpot that morning, shaving $50,000 off the final jackpot. Still, even without the small bad beat hit, the full jackpot would not have set a new record for the city. The old record is $672,000 at the Taj Mahal in June 2010. However, the $586,000 is a new record for the Borgata’s bad beat jackpot. A player named Chong In Yang held the seven and eight of diamonds and was in for the flop. Out came nine, 10, jack of diamonds. Chong, however, was on the low end of the open straight. Another player named Myung Sang Kim, held the queen and king of diamonds. That bit of misfortune, however, won Yang $234,685. Kim won $117,342 and six other players at the table won about $39,000 each. In the small bad beat hit, which came in a $2-$5 No Limit game, player Catherine Detrizio’s Quad 3’s lost to Anthony Russ’ Quad 6’s. Detrizio took home $20,000, Russ $10,000 and five remaining players won $4,000 each. n

HE WORLD SERIES OF POKER Circuit Events return to Caesars starting today (March 1) and brings some welcome poker action to the city’s central Boardwalk. The two WSOP Circuit events offered yearly — at Harrah’s Resort in December and Caesars in March — are really the only two major tournament events left in the city that aren’t played at the Borgata, So that also makes the Caesars circuit event the only major poker event at a Boardwalk casino for the moment, unless the Taj Mahal ever revives the U.S. poker Championships. The circuit events don’t usually draw huge fields, but they do offer a nice set of tournaments from now through March 12 and provide some respectable fields and prize pools. The circuit events start with a $300 + $45, No Limit event at noon today. Last year’s opening event drew 742 players and offered up a prize pool of $215,922. As with all WSOP Circuit events, event champions receive a ring (rather than the more famous WSOP bracelet) and all players earn points on the WSOP Circuit leader board for play in the circuit’s National Championship, a $1 Million free-roll in July. Main Event tournaments are offered daily at noon through the 12 days. A couple of the events have two starting sessions: Event 2, a $300 + $45 No Limit event that starts March 2 and 3, both at noon, and, of course, the championship event, a $1,500 + $100 that offers starting sessions at 11am and again at 7pm March 10. The championship event is a re-buy, where players busting out in the early session can re-buy in the evening session. Last year’s championship event attracted 442 entries and was won by Brian Ali of Brooklyn. He took home about $140,000 of the $633,000 prize pool. Satellites for the championship event start today at 5pm with a $165 + $25 No Limit tournament. There’s a satellite at 5pm everyday until the championship (except for March 8) and one extra satellite at 7pm March 9. There’s also a $175 + $25 non-ring tournament most nights at 7pm. Some other highlights include a senior’s event, March 11 at 5pm, ($200 + $30) and ladies event March 10 at 5pm ($200 + $30).

tlantic county residents ages 45 to 64 years old are invited to take part in a free community wellness program this spring at the Milton & Betty Katz Jewish community center (Jcc) of Margate throughout a 12-week period. the program will offer insight to living a healthy lifestyle, including nutritious diets, proper brain and body fitness, and also tips about managing your finances. “it was originally a grant idea for a program, and it’s sponsored through the county,” says Gabriel arnold, the program’s coordinator. “Part of the revenue comes through a grant from the division of intergenerational services [a branch of the older americans act of 1965]. so the county helps fund it and Jcc hosts all the programming and activities.” last year was the inaugural year the Jcc hosted the program, and sessions were held once a week. it was so well received, says arnold, that the Jcc expanded it to two sessions per week for a total of 24 sessions over the 12-week stretch. sessions include such topics as “Focus on Flexibility,” “Gab and Go Walking club,” “What’s the cure — yogalates,” “eating right, not only to look Good, but Function at your Best,” “Fiscal responsibility — investing in your Future,” “Fun and Fat Burning,” “circuit training and discussion,” “Massage & Wellness: Muscles and skeletal structure and chair Massages,” “Zumba Fitness — ditch the Workout, Join the Party!” “Brain train — you are

A.C. Marathon Race Series Starts in April! By Julie Pipitone

he marquee event in the atlantic City marathon race Series is, of course, the atlantic City marathon, which will take place for the 54th year (the third oldest marathon in the nation) on Sunday, Oct. 21. the event — and others leading up to it — serves as a fundraiser to support such local charities as C.a.S.a (see atlanticcapecasa.org) and others. under the direction of the milton & Betty Katz Jewish Community Center (JCC) of margate, which took over as principal organizer in 2009, the marathon has grown to include about 3,500 runners signed up to participate in 2012. in 2011, the JCC added an april Fool’s run as part of the marathon race Series, which included an 11K and 7K. the event drew enormous interest, so the JCC expanded it to include a half marathon, which will start Sunday, april 1, at 8am, on the Boardwalk in front of Bally’s. “While this race was a ton of fun for local runners — and luckily a gorgeous day on the atlantic City Boardwalk [in 2011] — we wanted to market this event as a part of the atlantic City marathon race Series to local, regional and national markets,” says aC marathon race Series director Genia

Chapman. “Being able to provide competitive road races throughout the year is a wonderful thing for the City of atlantic City and the local community. We have spent a great deal of time traveling to other races to promote the inaugural half marathon. runners who participated in the 2011 april Fools race and others that have heard about the race or registered are excited about this april’s race.” to achieve a wider range of participants, the race Series staff is partnering with Crowdrise.com — a Web site started by actor/philanthropist edward norton designed to make fundraising easy and fun. “We’re super excited to be partners with Crowdrise,” says Chapman (a 2012 Atlantic City Weekly top 40 under 40 nominee). “now you can leverage your run to raise money for our awesome charities under our atlantic City april Fool’s half marathon umbrella. it’s incredibly easy to join and all the money you raise contributes to our goal of raising a crazy amount of money for charity in this year’s race!” Go to acmarathon.org and click the “april Fools” link to see more about the event, and how to participate.

Top 5 Reasons to Run for a cause: 1) Personalize your running mission raise money for something that is close to your heart. 2) raise vital dollars for a charity that you did not previously know about. 3) When you run with a Charity team you are not running alone. Charities can provide you with added incentive & the extra push to get to the starting line. 4) Bring awareness to the cause by promoting your fundraising to friends & family through social media. 5) if you’re participating in the 2012 atlantic City april Fools half marathon and not leveraging your run to raise money for a cause you care about, then you’re definitely doing something wrong. here’s the nicer way to say it — if you’re training like mad and running in a race, you should definitely leverage your run to raise money for a cause you care about deeply. Go to Crowd rise.com to learn how to gain sponsorship.

here are a few tips for half marathoners from the atlantic City marathon race Series: “Start out by running and walking together and not to worry about how far you run,” says Steve antzczk of nJShorerun. “a lot of new runners are fixated about the distance they are trying to cover and get discouraged. i suggest starting out only running by time [number of minutes] and build up to an hour of running.” Stay hydrated! Drink plenty of water and/or sports drink before, during and after your workout. running isn’t everything. Your training should include cross training, such as yoga, weight training or cycling on nonrunning days. visit jccatlantic.org for more information on fitness classes that will help make you a better runner. take days to rest. and by rest, we mean don’t run at all. Give your muscles and joints a change to recover. most of all — “Be proud of your accomplishments.” n

Restaurant Week Returns Dining patrons will have an opportunity to sample three-course meals from 74 area establishments for a fixed, affordable price. By Frank Gabriel

y this, the fourth edition of Atlantic City’s restaurant Week, we think you know the drill. so, all apologies to Dragnet’s Joe friday, here’s “just the facts.” restaurant Week extends from sunday through saturday, March 4-10, and offers a three-course lunch for $15.12 and similar dinner for only $33.12 (many eateries may also extend the promotion beyond those dates.) of the 74 participants, three dozen will serve lunch as well as dinner. We strongly suggest you consult the official Web site acrestaurantweek.com for specifics as to which days various places are open and when they will be serving their prix-fixe menus. As for suggestions, here’s what caught our eye perusing the site.

Dog Day Afternoon

Showboat presents Best in Show - Boat Dog Competition By Lori Hoffman

MARCH 1 - 7, 2012 • ATLANTIC CITY WEEKLY

TLANTIC CITY HAS TRIED ON different looks to entice visitors to town, from playing up its place as an adult playground to a strategy to be more family-friendly. However the Showboat went in yet another direction when the casino championed its hotel as a place where you can let the dogs in. Selling itself as the town’s “only pet friendly casino,” Showboat introduced its unique Pet Stay program last February, offering special rooms in the property’s New Orleans Tower to vacationers with dogs. Showboat is celebrating the one-year mark of the program with its “Best in Show” - Boat Dog Competition. After asking fans to download pictures of their favorite canines to a special Facebook page to determine the new spokes-dog/model of its Pet Stay program, a final vote was taken by the fans. Now the six finalists will compete for the title on Saturday, March 3, in a competition to decide the winner. The event is open to the participants and their families. The epic battle of canine cuteness and talent will feature three rounds of judging until only one dog emerges victorious and is crowned the new face of Showboat’s Pet Stay program. Showboat’s Harlem Ballroom will be the venue going to the dogs from 1-3pm. The six dog finalists will be judged in three categories. Each dog must complete an obstacle course, with the score based on the ease in which they navigate the course. Next will be a talent contest reflecting canine creativity and execution of each dog’s special talent. In the finale, the dogs will be asked to strut their stuff in a special costume that best represents his or her personality. Throughout the event, local pet store Like us:

Chevelle

Where: House of Blues at Showboat, A.C. When: Saturday, March 3, 9pm How much: $25, $35 and $40

Chevelle takes on bullfighting and Bernie Madoff on latest album. By Samantha McCorry

Chevelle plays the House of Blues Saturday, March 3 recent release, Hats Off to the Bull, both cracked the top 10. Released in December 2011, Hats Off to the Bull is the latest addition to the band’s artistically expansive discography. The album’s first single, “Face to the Floor,” remained in the No. 1 spot on radio’s Active Rock Chart for an impressive 13 weeks. “I was shocked it did so well,” Pete Loeffler tells Atlantic City Weekly during a recent phone interview. “It has big shoes to fill,” he adds, regarding the band’s next single and their latest album’s title track, “Hats Off to the Bull.” Despite the road bumps along the way, the members of Chevelle have been determined to keep doing what they love and remain in the race to see another day. Luckily for the band’s earliest fans, that day turned into another several years of insightful and inspiring music. Chevelle fans have remained loyal, even through all of the drama and evolution

of the band’s music. “We hope we’re not losing any of our fans because we try to progress,” adds Loeffler. “We don’t want to lose our original sound, but we also want to progress.” Loeffler stays optimistic when asked about gaining new fans with each new album. “We’re not just breaking on the scene; we’re not a fad,” he says, adding that social media has become — just recently — something the band has been utilizing to reach a more diverse audience. “I think it’s harder to try and make new, younger fans,” he says. “I actually just started [a] Twitter account last year, so I’ve been on Twitter. I have my own personal account that I run, and then we have the Chevelle one, of course. But that’s one of the ways we try to connect. Sam takes care of [our] Facebook [page] so he’s always posting on there and we’re trying to roll with the times. … It is actu-

ally kind of fun to do Twitter. I didn’t think it would be.” Loeffler says the concept for Hats Off to the Bull came to him while witnessing a bullfight on television. The band’s members wanted to represent that bull, he says, which they considered to be “the underdog.” The album is an ode to the fed up and the forgotten, the pissed-off youth and other discouraged Americans. “It’s just kind of an angry chant,” says Loeffler with regard to the album’s first single “Face to the Floor,” which features Chevelle’s strong riffs and infectious lyrics without the band sounding whiney or overly righteous. The inspiration for “Face to the Floor,” which opens the band’s latest album, and deals with greed and corruption in America, came from the infamous Ponzi scheme involving Bernie Madoff, who is actually referenced in the song. “I saw this program on him and it just kind of opened my eyes a little bit,” says Loeffler. “Shortly after that I guess everything sort of, you know, really started to fall apart as far as our economy. I never know how much you can trust what’s going on [with] Wall Street, so that was basically the point. I was just enamored with this whole guy’s story and his life. It was such a disastrous life at the end of it. I mean, a total lie, you know? His son ended up killing himself because he was so mortified and it was just like such a disaster. [Madoff] ruined so many people’s lives that it was just kind of an angry topic for me to write a song about. “I mean there were like, I think, tens of thousands of people that got ripped off by this guy.” n

HE CHICAGO-BASED BAND Chevelle has been at it for more than a decade, seemingly unscathed by the pressure to remain on top of the alternative-rock music scene and despite the band’s notorious lineup change. In 1995, Chevelle started out with the three Loeffler brothers — Pete (guitar-vocals), Joe (bass) and Sam (drums) — until Joe was replaced with Dean Bernardini, another family member. Despite this and other obstacles, Chevelle, which performs at the House of Blues at Showboat in Atlantic City on Saturday, March 3, has remained focused on its own style of music over the course of six albums, starting with 1999’s Point #1. Even through all of the controversy surrounding the band, Pete Loeffler and company have pressed on, engaging fans with Chevelle’s loud and aggressive style of music. The band has certainly created its own style, both in terms of lyric writing and performance, which is evident on all of its recordings. Having been labeled everything from “alternative” to “metal” to “Christian rock” — Chevelle initially signed to a Christian label just to get its music out there — the band’s success speaks for itself despite the changing categorizations. Chevelle’s hard work ethic paid off. More than 10 of the band’s singles have hit the Billboard charts, including two No. 1 hits — 2003’s “Send the Pain Below” and the following year’s “Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)” — and Chevelle’s albums, such as 2004’s This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In) and its most

Trey Songz will perform at the Taj on Friday night “It’s important to have good production and I had that on Trey Day.” Songz’s third album, Ready, which dropped in 2009, was buoyed to gold status and sales over 800,000, courtesy of the hit single “I Need a Girl.” The follow-up, 2010’s Passion, Pain and Pleasure, helped raise the artist’s profile. It didn’t hurt that the album’s initial single, “Bottoms Up,” features the provocative Nicky Minaj. A new Trey Songz album will drop in 2012. “I’m just trying to express myself and I’m having fun doing it,” Songz says. “I’m taking a step with each album I make. I want to be the best that I can be. I go to the studio a lot. I enjoy making music. “When I’m not on the road I’m often in the studio working on what’s next. It’s not like it’s work. It’s like a labor of love.

It’s incredible when you think about it. I get paid to make music and people love that I make music. It’s like a dream. It’s just that I’m so fortunate. But I don’t sit back and relax. I appreciate what I do but I always want to take it to the next level. I want to please myself musically but I also want to please my fans.” Those who follow Songz are particularly passionate. “I know how they feel about me and that is something that’s very special,” Songz adds. “The fans are incredibly dedicated to me and I’m someone they really don’t know but they appreciate what I create and I’m eternally grateful for that. They don’t know me personally but they know me through my songs and that’s pretty special. They’re really into what I do and I’m into making the best possible songs and making the best possible experience for them when they check me out live.” Songz is a charismatic performer, who engages the crowd. He’s come a long way from when he was a shy youth coming of age in Virginia. “You grow up,” Songz says. “You’re not the same person you were when you were a kid. I had a lot of growing to do and I did it. Nobody is the person that they were when they were a kid. I grew up a little quicker than most though due to my experiences. I have no regrets. It all worked out for me. I wouldn’t go back and change any of it. I got to do something not many have a chance to do. It’s been great and I still have plenty left to accomplish. It helps that I love what I do.” n

steps I needed to take before I took off.” Songz started out by making music under the alias “The Prince of Virginia,” but he settled on Trey Songz by the time he released his initial album, I Gotta Make It, which dropped in 2005. Thanks to a number of catchy singles, the album sold more than 300,000 copies. “That wasn’t a bad start,” Songz says. “Music fans liked what I did and it was encouraging. I just wanted to go on from there.” The follow-up release, Trey Day, was more accessible than the debut. The initial single “Wonder Woman” helped set up the album, which sold more than 400,000 copies. The disc benefited from strong production. “I loved that I had a number of great producers [such as Dr. Dre and Jimmy Jam] come out for that one,” Songz says.

Trey Songz

The young hip-hopper from Virginia, performing at the Taj on Friday night, expects to release a fourth CD this year. By Ed Condran

REY SONGZ NEVER THOUGHT he would become a pop sensation when he was growing up in tiny Petersburg, Virginia. The small southern town was best known as the hometown of basketball legend/NBA Hall of Famer Moses Malone, that is until Songz came along. When he was coming of age Songz, whose given name is Tremaine Neverson, was painfully shy. “It’s hard to believe when you see me now, but you change when you grow up,” Songz tells Atlantic City Weekly. Headlining Trump Taj Mahal’s Mark G. Etess Arena on Friday night, March 2, Songz never considered performing when he was a prepubescent, but he loved to rap. “That was a passion,” Songz says. “I always was into hip-hop.” However, his friends discovered that Songz could belt it out. Thanks to his extraordinary tenor, Songz gave singing a shot. “And the rest is history,” he says. “I found what I needed to do. I had the ability and I went for it.” Songz, 27, has become a superstar, but he owes thanks to his mentor Troy Taylor, who helped mold a rough-around-theedges 15-year-old who had the skills but needed some refinement. “I met him through my mother’s friend,” Songz says. “I sang for him and he really liked what he heard so he took me under his wing and I was off and running. He showed me the ropes and I even moved in with him after I graduated high school and stayed there for about a year. He helped me tremendously. I took the

f you were planning to make a fictional look at what navy Seals do in real life, having active unit navy Seals in the main roles seems like a fascinating attempt at upping the realism of the firefights. this is what stuntmen-turned-filmmakers mike mcCoy and Scott waugh decided to do when they collaborated on Act of Valor. Having done some documentary work with navy Seals, they decided to use the real deal Seals in their fictional movie. the result — with the help of other military personnel including a parachute team and yes, some actors, including Without A Trace regular roselyn Sanchez — is a decent action film. Some of the action sequences, which use current warfare technology, are pretty spectacular. in particular was a scene where helicopters carry speedboats into a river to facilitate the extraction of the Seal unit after their mission. i don’t believe i’ve ever seen that on film before. what the Seals do best makes for excellent action sequences that almost have a documentary feel, right down to the shaky cameras. However, the movie suffers when these same soldiers are asked to act naturally outside of the war zones, interacting with actors playing their loved ones for example. Say what you will about actors who don’t look authentic playing soldiers (oscar-winner The Hurt Locker was severely criticized by real soldiers who said it was full of inaccuracies), real soldiers trying to cultivate acting skills can be painful to watch too. Act of Valor seems to understand the tradeoff, and those scenes that would be better with real actors are kept to a minimum. So, is the experiment of asking real soldiers to recreate what they do in a Hollywood-designed fictional environment a movie trend that will continue, like the “found-footage” genre kick-started by The Blair Witch Project? i doubt it, but if action filmmakers happen to come across any naturals, like younger versions of Dale Dye and f. lee ermey, retired soldiers who have become popular character actors, they might add some authenticity to Hollywood’s take on combat.

Oscar Results

after watching the independent Spirit awards on Saturday night, it was clear that The Artist was going to sweep all the major categories on oscar Sunday and it Like us:

did, winning for best picture, actor and director, as well as costume design and best film score. meryl Streep picked up her third award — after 13 straight losses — which became part of a historical night. the best actor win for Jean Dujardin was the first by a male actor from france and Christopher plummer’s best supporting actor win made him the oldest performer to ever take home the award at age 82. He joked, saying to his statue, “you’re only two years older than me, darling, where have you been all my life?” octavia Spencer became the fifth african-american to win the best supporting actress trophy and she was nearly speechless as she tearfully accepted. She did manage to get off a quip that she was now paired, “with the hottest guy in the room.” Steep’s win was a mild surprise since Viola Davis had won a lot of pre-oscar best actress accolades including the Screen actors guild. Steep gave her friend Davis a hug on the way to the podium. She admitted she was surprised at how thrilled she was winning after all these years. in another historic moment, A Separation, which won best foreign language film, became the first film from iran to win in that category. martin Scorsese’s Hugo, which earned the most nominations, 11, tied The Artist with five wins, taking home oscars for cinematography, art direction, sound editing, sound mixing, and best visual effects. Billy Crystal made a welcome return as the oscar host for the ninth time and his opening montage, — in which he injected himself into the nine nominated movies — was very funny. n
