Brunch, Jazz and Honors in the Community June 5 Atlantic City’s annual Jazz brunch has become a spring tradition presented by The N.J. Shore Arts Association and the Pattie Harris Atlantic City Dance Theatre. And not just for the arts it celebrates, but also for the community honors bestowed.

This year’s event is Sunday, June 5. The Clare Sabatini Civic Award will be presented to State Senator James Whelan.

Clare Sabatini was an educator and volunteer and an owner of Atlantic City’s famed Sabatini’s Restaurant. “It is in Dr. Beverly Vaughn the spirit of Clare’s commitment to and outstanding service to her family, friends and community that the Clare Sabatini Civic Award shall be given to Senator James Whelan,” says Harris. Dr. Beverly Vaughn will be honored for her contributions to the arts. Rose Silverman will be honored for her contributions to the community. Alisa Cooper, artist and educator, will be the mistress of ceremonies. Kathy Angela of Angel Productions will be producing the musical program. Tickets are $40 for the 11:30am program to be held at Garden Pier in Atlantic City. Call 345-3091.

Brigantine’s Clean Communities Satellite Office Last year the City of Brigantine co-hosted with Atlantic City the seventh annual New Jersey Clean Communities Council Seminar and Awards Banquet. Brigantine earned awards for its environmental student exchange program and excellence in environmental education. This year the N.J. Clean Communities Council (NJCCC) is expanding its “Slam Dunk the Junk” anti-litter campaign by launching its first-ever satellite office in Brigantine, which was a pilot N.J. municipality for the NJCCA’s Adopt-a-Beach program focusing on cleaner beaches, rivers, lakes and waterways. The new office, located in the Brigantine Historical Museum (adjacent to the Marine Mammal Stranding Center, 3625 Atl-Brig Blvd.), was dedicated last Saturday, May 28, by Congressman Frank LoBiondo and other dignitaries. It was followed by the first of four beach cleanups in Brigantine, the others scheduled for June 18, July 16 and Oct. 22. “Our first satellite office symbolizes the importance of keeping New Jersey green and clean, as well as the volunteer efforts that achieve that goal, particularly during strict economic times,” says Sandy Huber, executive director of NJCCC. The new satellite office will provide easy access to waterway cleanup materials, planning and other assistance for Adopt-a-Beach. It will also help to educate the public on taking measures to decrease pollution and promote the importance of keeping the Earth clean. “Our new satellite office helps open the floodgates of volunteerism, and is the next step in building on this tradition,” says Huber. Visit njclean.org to learn more.

‘We’re New Here’

Gil-Scott Heron & Jamie xx Following the highly anticipated and Mercury Music Award winning comeback album, I’m New Here (XL/ Young Turks), Gil Scott-Heron and the U.K. sensation xx’s Jamie xx teamed up for the album’s sequel of sorts, We’re New Here. Released on digital, CD and vinyl formats in February, the album is much more than a “remix” album, featuring Jamie xx treating the late iconic musician’s voice with love and infusing his own trademark dubstep and electronic styles that have made his band xx so huge. Hopefully this will not be the final release featuring Scott-Heron, who died May 27 in New York — maybe there is some good stuff in the vaults from his decades as a recording artist? But if it is, at least it got ScottHeron’s stamp of approval.

seemed to have the market cornered when it came to producing revues for casino stages in Canada.Today, all the world’s his stage.

Bazinet is riding an international artistic high after his Best of Broadway revue, which has returned to the Tropicana, blew ‘em away in what would seem an unlikely venue: The Cairo opera House.

Not the tiny city of Cairo, illinois, mind you. We’re talking the real Cairo — as in egypt. “it was incredible, we sold out 10 shows and they [asked] us to come back,” says Bazinet, whose knack for staging well-constructed and highly entertaining revues has made him the new go-to guy for atlantic City gaming halls looking to provide guests with affordable, mostly mid-week shows without straining showroom budgets.

That the Trop is presenting Best of Broadway for the fourth time since 2007 pretty much says it all.

To be sure, the show is often included as part of a package for casino guests, so it’s difficult to gauge exactly what kind of hard ticket sales it does at the box office.

But in the big picture, especially when it comes to a fixed-cost show that will run for five weeks, it really doesn’t matter how the casino puts bodies in the 2,000-seat Tropicana showroom. given the amount of repeat business that atlantic City generates, chances are plenty of people who checked out the show last Wednesday weren’t BOB virgins, and coming back for seconds or thirds speaks volumes to the show’s likability quotient. if you subscribe to the theory that music is a universal language — and factor in the 19 Broadway shows from which Bazinet culls his play list are mostly international theater icons — then it’s no surprise that Best of Broadway drew as well in the Middle east as it has in atlantic City. “everybody knows this music,” Bazinet, a native of Montreal, says simply in his thick French accent before the show. “The people, they love it.”

The show was so well received in egypt that before the run had even ended, negotiations were concluded to bring the show back in october. and Bazinet apparently believes that if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere — at least in africa — because after the next Cairo gig, he’s booked Best of Broadway for a run in Morocco, too. in addition to picking can’t-miss material, Bazinet, who most recently produced

the limited-run show Moonshine Follies for resorts Casino Hotel in February, also has an uncanny knack for spotting and nurturing talent.

Best of Broadway embodies the castingnotice line that requires singers who dance, and dancers who sing. Most of the show’s 17 principles (not including four live musicians) hoof as well as they warble, and vice versa.

There’s no time for any dialogue to set up the 30 songs in the show. The program, which zips along in a quick 70 minutes, flows easily from one Broadway show to the next. songs are performed, for the most part, with the cast wearing costumes that replicate those from the theatrical productions.

Choreography ranges from basic to almost brilliant, especially on big production numbers from Cats, The Lion King and Mama Mia. sets are minimal but effective and visually support the music without ever distracting from it. although BOB sticks to mostly iconic shows, like Les Miserables, Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, Evita and The Lion King, Bazinet doesn’t typecast Best of Broadway, either.

Not every number in the show is a familiar toe-tapping sing-a-long for the predominantly older crowd to whom the show seems to be marketed. This is probably the only show of its type to hit atlantic City that includes the tune “one Night in Bangkok,” originally heard on Murray Head’s 1984 concept album and introduced on Broadway in the shortlived 1988 musical Chess.

Best of Broadway runs at the Tropicana through June 29, but Bazinet’s hiatus from atlantic City will apparently be brief. although it hasn’t been formally announced, he says he’ll be back at the Trop this summer with a show that pays tribute to the music of the 1980s, a period to which the casinos are beginning to actively market. and he’s got a new show titled The Crooners, which pays homage to singers ranging from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin to Michael Bublé. Bazinet is pitching that show to atlantic City, and given his track record here since his first show, Viva Casino in 2005, The Crooners could hit the Boardwalk sometime next year. n

Make your own judgment calls, she also said, and don’t let others tell you what to think. always get to the root of the problem in order to avoid what i call the “whisper down the lane” syndrome. as words go from one ear to another, so do interpretations. we don’t have control over someone else’s actions, but we do have a choice on whether to accept them. you could be the person that lives by the motto, “if you haven’t got anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me,” or you could follow the words of Benjamin Franklin: “i resolve to speak ill of no man whatever, not even in the matter of truth; but rather by some means excuse the faults i hear charged upon others, and upon proper occasions speak all the good i know of everybody.” you decide. *** Don’t forget that this Sunday, June 5, we are paying tribute to the late, great elvis tribute artist and galloway resident ted Prior. he was truly an all-around great person who put so much effort into being a perfectionist with his craft. he lit up the room when we walked in it and really made everyone that he performed for feel so special.

Prior’s recent passing was tragic news for many, but now we can all come together once again to pay tribute to this local legend. Come out to the ram’s head inn in galloway from 2-6pm Sunday and hear many local entertainers singing for a great cause, which is to help ted’s family pay off some medical bills. light refreshments will be served and tickets are $30 per person or $50 per couple. n

ATLANTIC CITY WEEKLY • JUNE 2, 2011

lthough we are only in the first week of June, for all of us locals, summer has officially started. if you were out this past weekend, you know what i’m talking about. the traffic was unbelievable, the beaches were packed, there were barbecues galore and many Memorial Day observances. the nice thing about Memorial Day weekend is that it has a meaning to everyone, so therefore we all celebrate together in our own ways.

My husband and i were fortunate to not only take part in the normal festivities of the holiday, but we also got invited to share a special day with our friends by attending a beautiful outdoor wedding. of course the gnats didn’t cut us any slack, but when love is in the air, all is well.

Being surrounded by the close family and friends of the newlyweds was really inspiring. Many of the speeches and kind words resonated throughout the group, however a piece of advice by the bride’s godmother stood out for me. She said simply (and i’m paraphrasing) that communication is a huge key to having a long-lasting relationship, and she re-iterated to the new couple that there will always be people around you who are either jealous, envious and untrustworthy, so beware of what people say about you and your spouse because they may have ill intentions. that advice is sad but true. too often you’ll see people who are successful or happy or excited about something, and instead of their friends being big supporters, sometimes they become the biggest detractors. it’s just a very unfortunate aspect to human beings. we immediately become enamored with distrust and disloyalty and don’t even realize it. we listen to what the gossipers and naysayers have to say without even finding or searching for the truth. and the tragic part is that we make judgment calls based on the ill will. the point that the godmother was making was to not let anyone break your bond. that goes for any relationship you are in, whether it’s personal between you and a spouse, friend or family member, or if it’s professional between you and a co-worker, boss or employee. the bond you have with someone is only truly known by you and that person.

ith all the excitement attached to the coming of the Golden nugget brand to atlantic city, which took over the former trump marina property last week, there also comes a few questions — at least where the city’s poker scene is concerned. as part of the $100 million remodeling of the property, the casino plans to add a lot of new features. and along with the restaurants, lounges and bars, landry’s inc. the houston-based company that runs Golden nugget, plans to add a 35-table poker room to the casino where there was none before. that would make the nugget the eighth casino to operate a poker room in the city.

So very quickly, you have to ask if there’s room in town for another poker room — especially as Delaware Park and most Pennsylvania casinos have also added poker. are there really enough players around to support all this action?

Well, let’s look at the pros and cons for atlantic city.

On the pro side, the nugget has become a pretty big player in the poker world through its las Vegas property. and with four of the city’s current rooms owned by caesars entertainment, it’ll be nice to have another player in town.

“Poker is a very important part of the Golden nugget brand,” says amy chasey, vice-president of marketing for the nugget.

“We’ve been involved with Poker After Dark on nBc and High Stakes Poker on the Game Show network. So we really feel poker is synonymous with the Golden nugget.

“We expect to have the room open by the fall,” she says. “and we are planning to have a special high-stakes, cash-game room. that’s a need we see here in the city that we want to fill. a lot of high stakes players appreciate their own space.” a high-stakes cash room is intriguing. though the city offers a great deal of tournament action, cash games are still the backbone of any poker operation. in fact, many of the current rooms, such as caesars, are known more for cash game play than tournaments.

Still, does the city need a special space for high-stakes players?

Well, the nugget might just be an operation that could find out. the casino has a good reputation with pro players and its Vegas property is a poker hot spot. the Like us:

casino could try to work the same magic with east coast-based pro players that already like to play a.c. another bright spot is that the nugget seems to be making a big commitment to poker in general. not only is the atlantic city nugget adding poker, so is the laughlin nevada Golden nugget. the nugget also seems to recognize the benefit of having large-scale tournament events. Starting June 4, for example, the Golden nugget in las Vegas (a 60-table room) will hold the Grand Poker Series, a 36-tournament event, to July 4. the series flies right in the face of the World Series of Poker preliminary events, also held in Vegas, which got underway on tuesday. that takes guts.

On the downside, however, is whether the nugget will spell doom for one of the city’s smaller poker rooms.

One of the strengths of the nugget’s Vegas room was its location in that city’s downtown, which had a dearth of poker rooms (as opposed to the Vegas Strip).

But atlantic city’s marina section already holds the no. 1 room in the city at the Borgata and harrah’s Resort has the city’s third most successful room.

Remember, the city already lost a poker room when the resort tried to support eight rooms. the a.c. hilton closed its room and now offers up just two tables of poker on most days. Of course, in fairness, the hilton is in a bad financial position and could still end up closing all together. if an atlantic city room has to go, however, to make room for the nugget, which would it be? in april, the Showboat, despite having a relatively new, luxurious room, had the weakest take at the poker tables among city casinos with only $200K for the month.

Outside of the taj mahal (the second most successful city room) the remaining casinos — caesars, tropicana and Bally’s — all are neck and neck, bringing in about $350,000 a month. if the Showboat and all of the others are going to survive (including the nugget itself), poker managers in the city are going to have to come up with even more events, gimmicks and deals to bring in the players. look, poker is a cutthroat game — and even more of a cutthroat business. n

nce again, greetings and salutations. and wow, what a tremendous Memorial day weekend. it all started off Friday night in egg Harbor township when we went live at 5 at chickie’s & Pete’s on cruisin’ 92.1 and KOOL 98.3, and then on to Mia’s at caesars, the fabulous restaurant from georges Perrier and chris scarduzio.

Mia’s was packed — so much so that starting this Friday we’ll be going live on KOOL 98.3 from caesars’ Pool Bar so that you geator gold guys and gals can have more room to dance after you dine at Mia’s.

Over at Memories, the big 65th birthday party for carol Kauffmann took place, with family and friends.

Of course, carol belongs to our dear friend Justice Bruce Kauffman. some of the Who’s Who who came to pay respects: My old friends Lewis & Margie Katz, Marcia & ron rubin, and a very dear friend, ray Perelman, plus Judy Munroe, david Pittinsky, Karen daroff, the Hons. ron castille and Bob daniels, eliana Papadakis, and many more whose names i wish we had room to mention. and then, on to Memories saturday night. it was a reunion, like we never closed from last season. Jodi and alon Howard, chuckie & donna Wiener, Pete & Lisa ciarrocchi, chuck Peruto, and my favorite partiers, the three amigos — anthony, sean, and Justin, with their sidekick adrian. Justin celebrated a birthday in rare fashion; unfortunately i don’t know if he’ll remember it. and if this is any indication of the way our 40th season at Memories is going to be, let’s just say it’s stellar. a special thanks to the new staff, to deserie, and to our new manager, ann Vassallo, for making everything run so smoothly. remember, Memories is now open thursday, Friday, saturday, and sunday. and now, let’s ask the geator.

Hey Jerry, is there a bio of yours anywhere? Some friends and I were trying to remember which radio stations you were on and what years, and when your TV shows were on and what stations. Thanks!

Help! We are trying to identify the name and artist of the song often played immediately after the “Cupid Shuffle.”

talking about the song i called “longer than Gone With the Wind”? that’s “Ms. Jody’s thang,” by Ms. Jody, who is from Mississippi and records for ecko records in Memphis. n

Baia

Baia the Beautiful Bay

Address: 998 Bay Ave., Somers Point Details: Liquor license, major credit cards accepted On the Web: baiarestaurant.com Phone: 926-9611

The new Baia (formerly The Inlet and Sails in recent years) restaurant in Somers Point puts a more adventurous twist on Italian cuisine. By Frank Gabriel

A

s the waterfront locale that is somers Point’s bayfront undergoes the final phases of a massive redo — courtesy of the still workin-progress route 52 bridge into ocean city, our state’s largest publicly funded construction project — a new restaurant has emerged.

Baia, featuring the coordinated creations of chefs ed Bonsignore, Jr. and sean weinberg, glibly refers to its concept as “twisted Italian cuisine.” we visited here twice during their opening month. the first, for weekend-night drinks on the deck and later some apps, revealed a business still understandably working out the kinks of its operation.

Despite this, we thoroughly enjoyed several items, including an oversized eggplant rollatine starter larger than many entrees. another clear winner exemplified that “twisted” credo: crispy ricotta stuffed rigatoni. one dozen or so tubes of pasta, stacked vertically to facilitate dipping, arrived on a long, rectangular platter. alongside, ramekins of smashed tomato sauce and garlic cream rode shotgun. Delightfully chewy, they were like an upscale, healthful version of deep-fried bar favorite mozzarella sticks. returning for a full dinner later that same week, we were pleased both by the evening’s additions and our stellar server. when we requested an item from the “Deck” menu as a starter, she admirably took our case to the kitchen, who made a pleasant accommodation. our reward was that local seasonal delight, soft-shell crab. Baia’s version, typically served as a sandwich, brought a

Baia’s deck, overlooking the bay in Somers Point crunchy crustacean rich with fresh crab essence. this item presented a first for us as a diner. we typically abhor capers, in all their forms and variations. so much so that we avoid ordering items that might include these often salt-packed Mediterranean flowering buds. Baia’s take, however, using them sparingly as accent in a tomato-based salsa, was nothing short of brilliant. our other choice was from the standard dinner menu, wild mushroom ravioli. three palm-sized squares — clearly made fresh in-house — were delicately plated with a garlic/rosemary wine sauce and soft, pillowy mozzarella. the warm, luscious pasta gave way to an earthy filling of fragrant funghi. like a gourmand’s version

of aromatherapy, the combination wafted our way across the table courtesy of a cool night breeze. which brings us to another undeniable fact about Baia, the pretty, watery environs. once that aforementioned bridge project is completed by next year, this real estate will undoubtedly become as scenic a spot as exists at the Jersey shore. as is our custom, we split a salad in between starters and entrees. this mix of chopped greens, tomato, cucumber and gorgonzola was elevated by the use of honeyed pistachios. finished with a bright champagne vinaigrette, the unique qualities of those desert-dwelling nuts brought an exotic, almost Middle eastern touch.

Movie times and reviews

by Lori Hoffman.

My entree, foccacia-crusted veal Milanese, was topped by a thick layer of roasted Portobellos. Binding the tender meat and mushrooms was a coating of shaved reggiano cheese. a chianti wine glaze rounded out this northern Italian delicacy. from the nightly specials, our dining partner selected grilled swordfish. the deep cut, probably close to three-quarters of a pound, was nicely cooked. which is to say, somewhere to the left of medium, leaving the fish at it’s thickest point almost cool. ladled with a combination of chilled balsamic tomatoes and fresh basil, these played well with the sword’s own rather distinctive flavor profile.

My dessert was an individual size blueberry pie in tart format. we wish more fine restaurants would consider using this style of baking, rather than slicing pie. topped traditionally with vanilla ice cream, this offering will only improve in the coming week’s as new Jersey’s legendary blueberry crop comes into season. our final dish of this night was a very basic, yet very good carrot cake.

Based on the energy and enthusiasm we witnessed during both trips to Baia, we have high hopes. they are the third restaurant to occupy this vast space in a decade, and seem poised for success. although standard “Italian” (read: Italian-american) food is commonplace in our region, their particular variant honors that culture while simultaneously catering to more adventurous, modern american palates as well. n see more online @

THE MUSIC BEAT

Hard to Say Goodbye

By Raymond Tyler

T

his year i have felt a lot like Glynn turman’s character leroy “Preacher” Jackson at the end of the film Cooley High. i have found myself having to come up with words to remember several friends who have died, in most cases before their time. i want to dedicate this debut “Music Beat” column to several people. ted Prior, who passed away May 15, was an ocean City performer who kept elvis Presley’s memory alive and well. Prior’s music was important to people who loved elvis but who, like me, never saw elvis perform live. through Prior we got a living glimpse of history. he and i hit it off famously as friends, and as people who love rock ‘n’ roll and live music. every performer is special but the great ones make their audience feel special as well, and that was ted Prior. My fellow columnist Whitney Ullman expressed it well when she said, “ted was the most kind-hearted, sweetest and hard-working person. he always stood by his friends. he was always a great entertainer and will be truly missed.” on sunday, May 8, atlantic City lost one of its greatest homegrown male voices in theodore Jones. Jones was widely known in the gospel community for his booming bass, which anchored the atlantic City high school Choir during the late 1980s and also Union Baptist temple’s voices of hope Choir for more than 20 years. aside from having a great voice, Jones had a great personality and was loved in the community for his infectious smile and kind words. Jones was a U.s. armed forces veteran and was just 42 when he passed away. on friday, May 27, poet/musician

Gil scott-heron passed away. scottheron is not a native of the shore, however his voice as a poet and his contributions to music touched artists around the world. for my very first Wtth radio interview, i was on Mayor lorenzo langford’s show Spotlight on Atlantic City. i was a guest poet and Mayor langford discussed how he The late Gil Scott-Heron

Gil scott-heron was as a writer and performer. Personally, scott-heron’s “the revolution Will Not Be televised” helped me see that there was a higher bar to reach for as a poet, and as a man who cared for human beings. there is not an article that has appeared in AC Weekly with my name on it that was not influenced by Gil scott-heron in some way. released in 1994, scottheron’s Spirits album was the one that i feel closest to. his single “Message to the Messengers” effectively challenged the positive rappers and emcees in hip-hop to make sure their information was correct, and that their messages would be valid and uncorrupted.

Music Beat Picks

of course, everything has not been gloom and doom. here are my “Music Beat Picks” including events and music to look out for.

Guitar Center’s July 4 Weekend Sale — if you missed the Memorial Day sale at Guitar Center save your money now for the July 4 sale. Guitar Center always has a big holiday sale of 20 to 30 percent off the major summer holidays. it’s always a good idea to go into Guitar Center on the holiday anyway for doorbuster specials and you can sometimes barter better deals. i would sign up for their online coupons now and get to loved scott-heron’s words, and even know the people at the Mays landing quoted the poem “the New Deal” by store.

‘The Music Beat’ AC Weekly ‘Local saying, “i have believed in my convictions. and have been convicted for my Music Guide’ Pick — the female beliefs.” i can remember Atlantic City duet (vocalist linda Moore and violinWeekly editor Jeff schwachter and i ist Catherine Boyd) Blondage rocks’ talking for hours about how incredible cover of “Walking on sunshine” is

sensational. Blondage rocks uses music with heavy fiddle playing throughout to bring a unique sound to their cover of this Katrina and the Waves (and every date movie) classic. also on their page on acweekly.com/localmusic, is a great rendition of the Charlie Daniels Band classic “the Devil Went Down to Georgia.” While the fiddle on this track is still amazing, the vocal spoken word/rap didn’t pop as well for me coming from the soft-spoken lady. still the music on the acweekly.com “local Music Guide” page earns these ladies three-and-a-half stars out of four. they are so good and diverse, i’d like to hear their take on almost any song.

Remember, local musicians/DJs, be sure to create your own free “local Music Guide” page by going to acweekly.com/submitmusic (or by clicking on the “Music” link under the a&e tab. also remember to join us for “the Music Beat” Kick-off Party on tuesday, July 14, at the flagship resort starting at 6pm. i’ll have 96.1 Wtth gift bags for the first 20 people, and admission is free. n

Easy Does It Right

Perseverance and dedication has local band Easy Does It lined up to record in New York City with one of the biggest names in the music industry. By Ray Schweibert

helped them achieve a degree of success in that area, but the prospect of taking their talents to the next level would really start to take shape when they established contact with another mega-producer, the hit-making phenomenon Benny Blanco.

“We knew we could grow our brand effectively with a good amount of capital and without the help of a major label, but we also began to realize that all this producing and songwriting had made us much better as a band since it sort of forced us to learn things we would not have otherwise,” says Picorale. “So we’re producing and writing and we’re trying to break, but for a label to take a completely new group of unknown people with no track record is not real likely. You need a super producer to co-sign it — it’s how people get their big breaks. We set our sights on Benny Blanco.”

Easy Does It was relentless in its pursuit of getting the attention of Blanco — a music prodigy whose writing, producing and remixing talents started to get noticed when he was a

teen. By the time he was 22 he and co-producer Dr. Luke had 12 No. 1 hits for megastars like Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Justin Bieber and others. “[Blanco] was like the messiah of the music business, the one who was running everything,” says Picorale. “We basically gave ourselves an ultimatum and said ‘we’re not stopping until we get hold of this guy.’ I found out who his manager was [James Johnson], I e-mailed him maybe 20 times and called him probably 40 or 50. I think he finally realized I wasn’t going to stop and decided to take a meeting with me.

“At this point were showing ourselves as producers and songwriters — I didn’t want to throw too much at him at once by talking about the band. Well, he looks over what I gave him and says, ‘you’re good. We’ll manage you.’ This was about eight months ago, and it was just crazy to us. Everything just changed. We’re like ‘Oh my God, what just happened?’ James Johnson basically changed our lives.”

It was at this stage in the wild ride that the

Easy Does It: From Galloway to superstardom?

foursome relocated to New York City to avoid what was becoming a constant back-and-forth from south Jersey, and to stay more in the loop with what was going on in a major hub of the music world. Currently Johnson’s Pilot Creative Services management client Neon Hitch has a CD coming out on Warner Bros. Records that Blanco is producing, but when that project is completed Blanco and Easy Does It will get in the studio to produce a record, probably some time in June. At the same time, the band is self-producing a single called “Feelin’ Like Ooh” that was recorded at Elmwood, N.J.’s House of Loud studio and mastered at Sterling Sound Studios in New York.

“It’ll be out June 2 [downloadable from Whank.com],” says Picorale. “It’s a new sound for us, very acoustic guitar driven and heavily influenced by pop production. We have two songs in the running to be recorded by Cobra Starship and just landed a remix to Beyonce’s new song.”

Befriending Johnson not only cemented their spot with one of the largest music management companies in the world, it helped the band — twice voted “best band” in the Atlantic City Weekly Reader’s Choice Nightlife Awards (in 2009 and 2010) — get a kind of educational crash course in what goes on behind the scenes leading to a major-label release.

“Just to see Neon’s project roll out and to see how Warner Brothers is treating it, it’s fascinating,” says Picorale. “These songs that are about go to radio, I’ve heard them already. You’re curious, and you’re wondering ‘is she going to be the next Lady Gaga?’ Benny’s also producing for Wiz Khalifa, and being in the same camp as him I heard his song [“No Sleep”] about four months before it was released. When it went onto iTunes four weeks ago, it was the fastest a song had gone to No. 1 in Atlantic Records history.”

Picorale and his band mates are confident that they’re next in line for such a blockbuster. Meanwhile they’ve largely subsisted on cash they collected by doing remixes — which involves changing the arrangement of recorded work largely to give it a fresh sound, and potentially new life in nightclubs and through radio and digital medium.

“If all goes as planned, we’ll be the top unsigned draft pick in the world,” he says. “It’s not boasting — we had the talent and we found the people who believed in us. We’re unsigned, but we’re waiting for a label. We have offers from them all.

“The way we’re looking at it is that this is sort of a death round for us — we either make it or we don’t make it. I’m feeling really good about our chances.” n

evidence early on that the band Easy Does It was well equipped to take its talents to another level.

The group of lifelong Atlantic City-area friends routinely packed local live-music hot spots, performing mainly original material that lead singer Jake Picorale only half jokingly labels “South Jersey suburban surf-bum rap.” In 2008 Easy Does It self-produced an eight-song CD along with a DVD and gave copies away during live performances as a sort of promotional tool, with Picorale having written most of the lyrics and the other members filling in the beats.

“We formed the band, we dropped the DVD with the CD and gave them out,” says Picorale.

“It got a good buzz and broke attendance records wherever we played — at places like Le Grand Fromage, Delarado’s, Somers Point’s Club Play, Maloney’s in Margate. The bar owners would come up to me at the end of the night and tell me they never did so much business at the bar, or had so many people in there at once.”

The band soon found that more capital was going out than coming in, however, and started channeling their energies toward writing and producing songs for other artists. Some of their material caught the eye of the manager of record producer J.R. Rotem in 2010, and that was the start of a sort of wild ride that had the band — comprised of Picorale, guitarist Brian Dam, drummer Frank Chase and keyboardist/ turntablist Bryan Olson [also known as DJ B Easy] — eventually relocating from their ramshackled Oceanville digs to an apartment in the Bronx, New York City.

“We got into a good situation,” says Picorale.

“How it works in the music industry is that there’s writers and producers, and some ‘beats’ will be laying around and people write on top of them — lyrics on top of instrumentals. That’s how stuff gets sold. If a producer sends the beat to five or six different writers, one might be a hit, and that one hit can change someone’s life.

I ended up writing some songs for J.R. Rotem, who last year was the number-two rated record producer by Billboard magazine. Before that we really didn’t have any connections as a band.

“At the time we were working out of a shed in Oceanville. That was our first big break. We said, ‘Wow, this is real – I don’t have any money and I’m wearing old jeans and old shoes, but I’m in contact with one of the biggest producers in the world right now.’ We’d drive to Wawa for a break and hear four songs of [Rotem’s] on the radio. It was like our first surreal moment.”

Easy Does It’s initial plan was to earn some capital writing and producing songs, then putting the money back into the marketing and promoting of the band. The Rotem contact

drug use, his womanizing and his firing from the hit TV show Two And a Half Men, Ross says Sheen’s fans did not react negatively to the surprise roasting (Ross was not promoted as being a part of the show, following the Atlantic City gig, but his Twitter followers sure knew about it.

“The only time I felt any negativity was that first night in Atlantic City where there was a guy screaming in the front row, ‘Let Charlie talk!’

It was just some crazy guy.”

After watching Sheen toss a wad of money at a character who came up to the stage asking for a refund, Ross says he had to jump in.

“That was what sort of prompted me to come out,” says Ross, who penned the 2009 book I Only Roast the Ones I Love: Busting Balls Without Burning Bridges. “I was backstage with my hazmat suit … and I saw this guy ask for a refund, and Charlie brought him onstage and gave him his refund and then a hundred people started rushing the stage looking for refunds. And that’s when I sort of walked out and put an end to it.”

of shows. I did the ones I could.”

Ross, who had never met Sheen before the Atlantic City gig (“I met him about 10 minutes before that first show in Atlantic City,” he says), says he was expecting a wild night after the show.

But Sheen disappeared with his “Goddesses.”

“Yeah, I mean, I was kind of disappointed,” says Ross. “The show was over and I was by myself. I went back to my room and ordered room service.”

Ross was surely tired anyhow, between the jet lag, the red-eye from L.A. to Philly, and the fact that on the night prior he was at Jimmy Kimmel’s party for Howard Stern in Hollywood.

“The whole thing was pretty overwhelming,” says Ross. “I was at Jimmy Kimmel’s party [and then] I had to leave the party and write jokes all night and pack.”

Ross is excited not only to be the current and revered Roastmaster General of the Friars’ Club, but also about his new development in the art of the insult, specifically tailored for his live shows.

“The Friars have been [roasting people] for over 100 years so I think it goes back to the Ross came out in hazma t suit turn of the century. People love it; it’s like a public hanging.

“In the beginning I guess I grew up watching comedians on TV and stuff,” adds Ross, who was born in Newark, grew up in Union and Springfield and “spent a lot of time in Atlantic City as a kid trying to sneak into the casinos in high school.”

He adds: “I’m going to try speed roasting audience members and volunteers at the Borgata. At a certain point in my show, I’ll just invite anyone who wants to come up onstage for 15 seconds of pain.”

And he’ll be able to roast a person just by looking at them for a few minutes?

“I’ll interview them, I’ll look at them,” he says. “It will just be a little bit of a free for all.”

This Friday’s Borgata show will be the first time Ross has tried the speed roasting bit in New Jersey.

“I’ve tried it a few times before, but I think there’s a certain elevated dynamic in New With the tour over, Ross says he’s glad to have Jersey because I’m from there and everyone [in been a part of it.

New Jersey] thinks they’re a comedian. So if anyEven though Sheen hasn’t contacted him one wants to get me back I’ll allow that.” since.

As Roastmaster General and an integral part of “No, no I haven’t heard from him,” says Ross. the popular televised roasts on Comedy Central, “He didn’t thank me. He thanked me profusely Ross says he’s enamored with the primitive during the tour, so I think I’m covered there, but nature of roasting. no, I haven’t talked to him.”

“If anything, [Comedy Central] encourages Ross appeared for a bunch of shows during the me to hit harder and harder and harder. People last half of Sheen’s tour, but not all of them. want me to go full throttle. If I hold back a little “I had certain charity commitments to wound- bit it’s my own cautiousness. ed soldiers for Operation Mend so I had to leave “The roastees, the fans, the producers, I mean for that,” says Ross. “And I did a Japanese earth- everyone is pushing me to hit harder and harder quake victim charity event. So I missed a bunch and harder. They love it. It’s primitive.” n

Sheen hugs Ross at the Taj Detroit and Chicago — asked Ross to join him for his next casino show, the following night in Connecticut.

“That was pretty surreal,” Ross remembers.

“But I was already there on the East Coast, and I did it. And I got meaner every night, using new jokes every night. It was like a snowball effect.”

Ross would join Sheen for several subsequent stops on the VTOT tour, making it a much more entertaining affair.

“I feel like by letting himself get roasted, [Sheen] showed that he was sort of owning the bombs from the earlier parts of the tour. I thought he showed really thick skin, because I was ripping into him pretty hard.”

After the Connecticut show, Ross says he took a day off “for the Jewish holiday” and Sheen went back to L.A. for a child custody hearing.

“And it was driving me crazy that he was willing to come back the next day to D.C. just to bomb again. I just couldn’t let it happen. So I showed up in D.C. and I roasted him again.”

Ross says that the D.C. show, which took place in a much more intimate theater than the Taj Arena was “like 70 percent Sheen super-fans and like 30 percent voyeuristic weirdos who just wanted to see a train wreck.”

ATLANTIC CITY WEEKLY • JUNE 2, 2011

He was there — appearing during the first third of the show (in a hazmat outfit; more on that later) and staying until the end of the event — to save the troubled Sheen.

“You probably didn’t buy a ticket, you probably got a ticket,” Ross, 45, tells Atlantic City Weekly during a recent phone call from California. “But I felt bad for all of the people who were buying tickets and not getting a show [in other cities]. I was reading the reviews and it was just killing me that people weren’t feeling like they were getting their money’s worth. I just felt like it was my duty as a Jerseyan to step in.”

What really happened, Ross explains, is that he got a call from Sheen the night before the April 16 show in Atlantic City.

“He called me the night before and said there was a 6am flight to Philly and I could make it to A.C.,” says Ross. “And I said I need to know that I can say whatever I want. [He said OK] and that’s what I did. And I got on the plane from L.A. and I wrote jokes all night. It was pretty crazy; it was an adventure.

“I said, ‘Charlie, all I want is a podium and a hazmat suit.’”

The hazmat suit would serve as a double entendre for Ross as he made his way onto the stage at the Mark Etess Arena at the Taj. Relating both to the stink-bomb that Sheen’s seemingly unorganized and quickly arranged tour had become, as well as the recent nuclear facility tragedy in Japan, Ross, with one of the first bullets fired at Sheen of the evening, told the troubled actor: “You’re about as wanted in Los Angeles right now as Japanese spinach.”

The teasing shot was the first of many that night as Sheen, sitting in a chair or pacing on the stage, took the lobs of roast-worthy abuse that Ross threw at him during the show — which turned out to be the best and longest stop on Sheen’s exploitative tour yet.

Sheen got it. Ross, after all, is the official “Roastmaster General” of the New York Friars’ Club, earning the title (which is also the URL of his official Web site) after getting known for his hilarious and often vicious roasting of celebrities — such as Pam Anderson, David Hasselhoff, Flavor Flav, and most recently Donald Trump — for roast specials on Comedy Central. He has also roasted a slew of other celebs at other events, including Hugh Hefner, Emmitt Smith, Drew Carey and Jerry Stiller.

“I don’t think he knew how hard it would be, but I didn’t give him much choice,” says Ross about Sheen. “[But] he took it extremely well and he had me do it seven more times.”

On stage that night at the Taj, Sheen, after experiencing his best show of the tour, with only a few people asking for refunds — a much better ratio than in previous towns such as

he summer can’t come soon enough for Atlantic City’s fortunes.

As the local casino industry continues to battle the competition from neighboring states, the arrival of summer is always a major boost to Atlantic City’s fortunes.

Most casino business analysts say that the best way for Atlantic City to compete in the market is to do what the town can do better than any of the other nearby casino markets, provide top-notch entertainment. This not only includes major stars, but solid entertainment for midweek visitors who want a night out to go with their value-priced non-weekend casino package.

The town is listening to its patrons and as a result there will be plenty of modestly priced musical entertainment available this summer.

Getting a jump on the official summer season are two excellent musical shows playing now, the Canadian import Best of Broadway at the Tropicana and the popular Broadway show 42nd Street, over at Resorts.

Leave it to a Canadian to put together a musical revue based on classic American musical theater. Best of Broadway, produced by Mario Bazinet (who also brought the hit Moonshine Follies to town), is a dazzling revue show that lives up to the title. Best of Broadway features top vocalists, including Follies’ stars Yoland Sirard, Karine Arsenault and Katee Julien, Broadway-quality costumes, a live four-

piece band and athletic dancers presenting some of the top showstoppers from Broadway’s biggest shows over the years.

This show has been so popular here, this is the fourth time it has been presented in town.

That same popularity has followed 42nd Street, which is visiting town for the third time. Like Best of Broadway, this

that, $25 and $35 for Best of Broadway, and $25 for 42nd Street.

42nd Street features such classic songs as “Lullaby of Broadway,” “Pretty Lady,” “Dames” “We’re In The Money,” “Shuffle Up to Buffalo” and the title tune. The show, based on the 1933 movie, first hit Broadway in 1980, produced by David Merrick, and earned the Tony Award for

tains a story, the old chestnut about the naïve singer/hoofer Peggy Sawyer (Johanna Schlitt) from the sticks who longs to become a Broadway star and gets her chance when the star of the show, Dorothy Brock (Carolyn McPhee) gets injured. The other star of the show is the gruff, but soft at heart producer, Julian Marsh (Rutledge Varley), who says to Peggy, “You’re going out there a youngster, but you’ve got to come back a star!”

42nd Street is set at a period of time, the early 1930s, when Atlantic City was a major tryout town for Broadway shows, so there is that added bit of nostalgia to bump up the fun factor. Best of Broadway has no book. It relies on an amazing string of great songs, remarkable recreations of original costumes (The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast in particular) and that talented cast. The songs include “You Can’t Stop the Beat” from Hairspray; “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” and “The Circle of Life” from The Lion King; “Mamma Mia,” “Take A Chance On Me,” “Dancing Queen” and “Waterloo: from Mamma Mia and the title song from Phantom of the Opera. Best of Broadway features songs from a total of 18 shows, providing a little bit of the flavor of each.

‘Best of Broadway’ Depend on whether you fancy seeing a ton of different music styles and costumshow features excellent costumes, and best musical, playing for 3,486 perfor- ing, or your taste runs toward a musical talented singers and dancers. Both shows mances.

‘Hangover II’ is a remake passing as a sequel. Also reviewed: ‘Panda 2’ and ‘The Beaver.’ By Lori Hoffman

I

’m not going to waste your time and mine by going into any details about the disappointing remake of The Hangover that is officially designated as a sequel, Hangover, Part II, again directed by todd Phillips. of course audiences expected some rehashing of the original since we are talking about the aftermath of another alcoholic and drug-induced bender featuring the return of the wolf Pack — stu (ed Helms), Phil (Bradley Cooper), alan (Zack galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha), the latter once again left behind, luckily for him.

However, that is no excuse for throwing together a “sequel” the follows the same path except that the setting is thailand rather than Vegas, with five credited writers who have made the film darker, much less funny and provided the type of bad behavior in another country that pretty much defines the term “ugly americans.”

you have to admire Jodie Foster. For someone who has only made two previous films as a director, and is already limiting her audience with her indie film drama mindset, giving her friend mel gibson the title role in The Beaver pretty much guaranteed that the box office results would be bleak. However, the two time academy award winning actress wanted the best actor for the role and gibson delivers with a brilliant performance as a mentally damaged family man. when we meet walter Black, he is in a deep depression that will only be relieved in his mind by killing himself.

He then finds an ugly beaver puppet in the trash and starts letting the puppet do all his talking. His wife believes him when

Because of the dark edge that includes a character losing a finger and some “alternative” sexual hyjinks, this film almost feels like a blend of The Hangover and the pitch black comedy Very Bad Things, which is also about a bachelor party gone very wrong. unfortunately, the resulting movie is a lot worse than either of those two films.

R o U T I N E LY

S p E C TA C U L A R

Kung Fu Panda 2 Walter hands her a card that says this is a form of therapy suggested by his doctor, and his youngest son thinks The Beaver is really cool. His teenage son Porter (Anton Yelchin), however, wonders why his mother is accepting this behavior. Gibson is the boss at the toy company so you understand why his co-workers (including Cherry Jones of 24 fame) decide to go along with this insanity.

Mental illness is not a topic that often finds its way to the big screen, especially when there is only a hint of humor around the edges. The film works thanks to the performance by Gibson. Despite his messy personal life laid bare on the Internet and tabloid headlines, he still has talent. The Beaver also features top supporting performances from two of the best young actors in Hollywood, recent Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone) and Yelchin (Star Trek, Terminator Salvation).

The Beaver is an odd little movie, but it is also oddly fascinating.

the original film. The filmmakers came up with another villain who needs to be vanquished by the Dragon Warrior Po (Jack Black) and his kung fu pals the furious five — Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Viper (Lucy Liu), Crane (David Cross) and Mantis (Seth Rogan).

The story also gives us more information about how Po came to be adopted by a goose and how this new villain, the evil peacock Shen (Gary Oldman), had a hand in Po’s life when he was an adorable radish-eating baby.

The action sequences are truly exciting and visually stunning. And, as if we didn’t have enough vocal powerhouses from the original film returning (including Dustin Hoffman as Master Shifu and James Hong as Po’s dad Mr. Ping), the additions beyond Oldman include Dennis Haysbert, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Michelle Yeoh. n
