Trop Unites Again at 5th Annual Taste of the Quarter

Now in its fifth year and vastly expanded, the Tropicana’s Taste of the Quarter will be held Monday, Aug. 27, from 6-9pm. And again, all proceeds from the event will benefit the 60-plus Atlantic County programs and services funded by United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey. Over 20 Tropicana establishments will offer samplings of their specialties including appetizers, main courses, delectable desserts, and premium wines, beers and cocktails. Items will be served up by local celebrities and media representatives (among them Atlantic City Weekly editor Jeff Schwachter), and DJs from WAYV 95.1 FM will provide a high-energy soundtrack. “Each year this event grows in popularity,” says Tony Rodio, Tropicana president and CEO. “This year we’re going to be bigger and better than ever, adding even more samplings. More importantly we are supporting a worthwhile cause in the community by fundraising for the United Way.” Some samplings include Ri Ra Irish Pub’s beef and Guinness stew, Carmine’s rigatoni broccoli and sausage in a red sauce, FIN’S lobster bisque, assorted cookies from Zeytinia, wine samplings from A Time for Wine, a beer garden at the newly renovated Tango’s and much more. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 day of the event. Purchase them at the IMAX box office on the third floor of The Quarter or call 1-800-745-3000. Guests can also browse an art exhibit featuring works by students of the Richard Stockton College of N.J, and gain free entry to the “A Taste of Fashion” live fashion show at Boogie Nights nightclub from 8:30-9:30pm with a Taste of the Quarter ticket. — Ray Schweibert

Dark Fall’s ‘Bernie and Ges’ Sneak Preview

Dark Fall Productions, the local film production company developed by Margate resident Alex DePhillipo and Ocean City’s Andrew Gesler, is getting ready to unleash another project. As a follow-up to their award-winning surfing move Dark Fall, which debuted at the House of Blues in 2010, DePhillipo and Gesler are premiering their new project, Bernie and Ges, on Saturday, Aug. 25, again at the House of Blues. Tickets are $32, available from Ticketmaster. The doors open at 8pm. After the premiere of Bernie and Ges, there will be a live performance by T.S.O.L. There will also be an after party at the Worship Surf Bar at Showboat. Bernie and Ges is the first episode of an animated internet/TV series that features local surfer and writer/ producer, Gesler, and his talking dog, Bernie, who have to save the Jersey shore from a guido zombie invasion. Local animator Drew Toonz, who does a weekly editorial cartoon for Atlantic City Weekly, did the animation, and local actor Michael Anthony provides the voice of Bernie. Anthony has had roles in Limitless, The Challenger, and Never Judge a Book. The project will start touring to various film festivals starting Sept. 1, and TV distribution talks have been in the works. — Lori Hoffman

Columbia/Legacy has reached deep into the Taj Mahal vaults for a new 2-CD set that includes previously unreleased live and studio recordings from the American bluesman. While the second disc features a full concert from April 1970 in London (at the Royal Albert Hall), the first disc debuts studio cuts from the young musician who was just starting to make a name for himself. Musicians such as Jesse “Ed” Davis and John Simon help out on tracks such as “Chainey Do,” Bob Dylan’s “I Pity the Poor Immigrant,” “Shady Grove, “Butter” and the wonderful “You Ain’t No Stretwalker, Honey But I Do Love The Way You Strut Your Stuff.” All gems here. — Jeff Schwachter

Sixers Vs. Nets at Boardwalk Hall When the Philadelphia 76ers pulled off the trade to obtain one of the league’s best centers, Andrew Bynum, hoop fans were excited about the team’s chances this year. Now local fans can see Bynum and the rest of squad in person in Atlantic City. The Sixers have announced plans for hosting the Boardwalk Classic, a pre-season game Saturday, Oct. 13, 7pm, against the Brooklyn Nets at Boardwalk Hall. Tickets are available in the upper and lower level ranging from $10 to $49. Premium and courtside seats range from $75 to $150. The game is sponsored by Caesars Atlantic City, Global Spectrum with Longport Media serving as a promotional partner. “We are delighted to add Sixers basketball to the thriving entertainment in Atlantic City, and we truly appreciate their hospitality during our Boardwalk Classic weekend,” says Sixers CEO and co-owner Adam Aron. “This game can only further the unique rivalry between these two organizations – a series of battles including some of the 76ers’ all-time greats; and now, some of today’s team stars in Andrew Bynum, Jrue Holiday and Evan Turner. As we celebrate 50 years in the Philadelphia region, we’re excited to tip off a year’s worth of memories with this special event.” The Boardwalk Classic will mark the third meeting of the Sixers and Nets at Boardwalk Hall, the first two being wins for Philadelphia. On Oct. 9, 1982, a Sixers team led by head coach Billy Cunningham and Darryl Dawkins beat the Nets in a 93-91 victory. The following year, on October 8, 1983, Moses Malone had 19 points and Julius “Dr. J” Erving added 18 points to lead the Sixers to a 117-113 overtime win.

NIGHTLIFE

Clancy’s Enhances

Joe Villari’s ambitious overhaul of a spacious Somers Point establishment is a striking addition to the area’s dining and social scene. By Ray Schweibert

T’S A SAFE BET JOE VILLARI’S successful operation of three other southern New Jersey restaurants hinged on a commitment to quality on several fronts, a knowledgeable staff being keynote to the overall package. He certainly would not seem to skimp on grade of design either, as evidenced by the outstanding transformation of a sizable structure on East Maryland Avenue in Somers Point that had existed under a couple of different names in recent years. And those who have frequented either of those forerunners would have a better sense of how much time, energy and expense went into the nearly yearlong undertaking that would become Clancy’s by the Bay. A basic layout remains much the same out of structural necessity, but the décor and general ambience are otherworldly compared to its predecessors. Part of the transformation is a renewed commitment to an energetic social scene, as some form of entertainment has been going only almost nightly throughout the summer and intends to continue in earnest through the fall months and beyond. “We’ll probably scale it back primarily to weekends [after summer] but we’ll also be doing plenty of special events, private parties and fun things geared around the holidays,” says Clancy’s manager Kathy Varallo. “We recently had a 60th [high school] reunion that was a lot of fun, and local organizations like Shore [Medical Center], Cape Bank, AtlantiCare, the teachers’ association — they generally all do a monthly Happy hour here that’s like a group open-house. It’s a fun night out for them.” Clancy’s also does a seven-hour Happy hour every Monday through Friday that starts as soon as they open (11am) and includes $2 domestic drafts, $3 imported drafts and domestic bottles, $3.50 glasses of house wines and $5 select martinis. Appetizer specials are also run weekdays in the main bar area ($5 each from 3-6pm) and include such items as fish tacos, red or white mussels, buffalo or chili wings, Tuscan chips, and pierogies and keilbasa. Chef Barry Sullivan brings a personal touch to some menu items, while others remain Villari’s personal favorites and crowd pleasers that follow unwavering recipe guidelines. “Joe has his favorites and basically told me not to touch them, and I couldn’t argue because I worked in Ocean City [at Clancy’s by the Sea] and know what dishes didn’t need to be messed with,” says Sullivan. “There was a list of some others where we were able to Like us:

facebook.com/ACWeekly

tweak a couple of things here and there.” Entertainment-wise, Vallaro has brought in the Bob Pantano Dance Party every Sunday night, DJ Steve & Company on Fridays and Saturdays, and has hosted a sing-along with local favorite Lori Kelley on Mondays. There’s also been a regular weekday slate of live bands, and one of the most popular has been a trio called the Barrel House Boys every Tuesday. The Barrel House Boys — bassist Bruce Mulford, banjo/guitarist Tony “Skull” DiMeo and sax player Brian Saunders — are three-fourths of the Philadelphia Eagles’ Prep Band (the fourth member, saxophonist Bobby Mansure, books all the gigs but does not perform at Clancy’s). “We refer to it as a sort of dog-and-pony show,” says Saunders, the musical director for the Eagles. “It’s just a fun event where we do a lot of fun stuff like show tunes, Mummers music — it’s sort of a cross between the Red Garter [a bygone Wildwoods nightclub that used to host string bands and sing-a-longs] and [virtuoso banjo player] Bela Fleck — kind of rock-and-roll on the banjo and some old sing-along stuff. It’s just a night of good fun. We get different requests and we’ll do ’em whether we know ’em or not. Hey, we’ll try it and butcher it, we don’t care. You’ll have fun watching us suffer, but we’re going to do it anyway. “We have props and hats with us and do different shtick,” he adds. “Anybody who has a song they want to sing, hey, come on up. It’s kind of a throwback from the days when that’s all it was down the shore. You just expected to laugh and have a good time and I think that’s really missed nowadays down here. We want to help bring it back.” The Barrel House Boys have a gig as the Eagles Pep Band on Tuesday, Aug. 28, but return the following Tuesday, Sept. 4, and every Tuesday “for as long as they’ll have us,” says Saunders. Other regularly scheduled live bands at Clancy’s include a five-attorney ensemble called the O’fenders that cover the music of the ’60s through the ’90s, and a six-man band of locals called Thirsty Wilson that performs rock and dance classics every Thursday night at Clancy’s. n

HY MINCE WORDS? DON’T miss the Broadway jukebox musical Rock of Ages, now playing at Caesars Atlantic City through Sept. 2. And certainly don’t avoid it based on past experience with legitimate plays in a casino showroom. Unlike most Broadway shows presented in Atlantic City over the past 34 years, the national touring company of the 1980s-themed production performs the show as it was originally staged. Nothing has been eliminated from the New York version — not one word, song, verse or scene. They’ve even thrown caution to the wind and kept the 10-minute intermission, which has long been considered a no-no in the casinos industry’s get-’em-in, get-’em-out entertainment philosophy. Historically, Broadway shows have almost always gotten a critical bum rap when casinos have inserted them into their entertainment schedules, and deservedly so. With the exception of A Chorus Line, whose owners refused to allow any cuts during two casino runs in the early 1990s, legitimate shows have been surgically altered to fit the self-imposed time constraints gaming halls have placed on showroom offerings. Ninety minutes was about the longest the casinos wanted to separate customers from the slot machines and gaming tables. Today, it’s down to about 75 minutes. Producers would have to scour their scripts looking for ways to cut the running time without sacrificing quality. To save time, songs, dialogue and even entire scenes would often be eliminated. That’s not the case in Rock of Ages. The same show (with a different cast) that audiences saw on Broadway is exactly what they’ll see on the Boardwalk in what might be the best legitimate show presented in Atlantic City since a national tour of A Chorus Line was a singular sensation at Trump Taj Mahal in 1991. Rock of Ages is a show that embraces the big metal and hair bands and solo artists of the 1980s and the music they produced. A thin love story that connects the scenes and the songs is about all that keeps the show from becoming just another of the dime-a-dozen tribute shows casinos have relied on over the years as cost-effective ways of entertaining customers. But it’s not the plot (a love story) and subplot (fighting City Hall) that makes Rock of Ages. At the end of the day, it’s all about the music, capably sung by a talented cast and supported by a butt-kicking five-piece band that provides all the backing the performers need. In fact, the musicians are considered part of the cast, and the band is on stage for the entire show — a rarity in the legitiLike us:

mate theater — offering up some tasty licks and attempting (most times successfully) to duplicate memorable solos from the original recordings of the songs. With all due respect to their talent, the real stars of Rock of Ages aren’t the actors. They’re the songs that are artfully woven around the dialogue, most of them classics of the era. During the show’s two-hour 15-minutes (complete with intermission), Rock of Ages presents somewhat theatrical interpretations of Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive,” Foreigner’s “Waiting For a Girl Like You” and “I Want To Know What Love Is,” Pat Benatar’s “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” Poison’s “Nothing But a Good Time,” Whitesnake’s first act finale “Here I Go Again” and Journey’s show-closing “Don’t Stop Believin’.” It’s how the songs are delivered and choreographed that helps the show avoid a “tribute” label. The band’s support is anything but Broadwayesque show tunes, as they often attempt to clone the original songs. The vocal arrangements, however, were clearly written to showcase the belting style of performers with a legitimate theater background. That doesn’t make the songs bad; it just makes them a little unusual and pleasingly different. It helps, of course, that most of the show’s 20 cast members are theatrical triple threats who can sing, act and dance, all of which come into play during Rock of Ages. One cautionary note about Rock of Ages: Although Atlantic City is attempting to broaden its appeal and encourage families to visit, Rock of Ages does have adult themes. An occasional f-bomb gets dropped and there are several sex and drug references throughout. (Hey, this was the ’80s, right?) Perhaps the strongest part of Rock of Ages — and the one that’s a time-honored way of judging the critical merits of a show — comes when the audience is filing out of the theater. Every good show should have an “11 o’clock number,” one song that stands out above all the others and has people singing, humming or whistling it as they leave the venue. Rock of Ages has an entire score of 11 o’clock tunes. n

Surfing Wellspring

Ocean City has earned a reputation as one of the nation’s primary promoters and East Coast architects of surfing. By Josh Kinney

ONSISTENT WAVES BREAKING against an island with a geographical angle favoring swells from the south is part of the reason Ocean City is very much a surfer’s town. The series of jetties on the north end of the island keep the breakers fairly constant, and providing the type of waves necessary for good surfing. Unlike most beach towns in the Northeast, Ocean City has a large year-round population and a high school right on the beach that boasts one of the most talented surf teams in the country. Many competitive surfers have emerged from Ocean City, especially after the development of the Ocean City Surfing Association back in the 1960s, which is one of the oldest such organizations in the country. “There are a lot of families with dads or moms who grew up with the surf boom in the late ’70s and ’80s, and now their kids are starting to surf,” says Robert Kulisek, a Wildwood native who now lives in Ocean City. “Surfing has a nice presence here — just counting the amount of cars you pass with boards on them will give you an idea.” Kulisek, who attended St. Augustine Prep in nearby Richland, and then the New York College of Medicine before transferring into the arts, is currently the editor and photographer for the Ocean City Sun by the Sea newspaper (see sunbythesea.com), which he founded this year. Surfing since he was 10 years old, he now rides for Kookbox Surfboards, which is owned by Andrew Blauschild and world-renowned, nine-time

U.S. longboard champion Joel Tudor. “I grew up with Joel as my idol, so it’s pretty cool to be with [Kookbox] now,” said Kulisek, who is currently working on new surfboard models among a slew of other creative projects. Having surfed all over the world, including Mexico, Africa, Costa Rica and California, Kulisek still considers the North East his favorite place to surf. “I’ve gotten it really good in Maine,” he says, “and I’m regularly out at the east end of Long Island, which has a great manmade reef break as well as some amazing right point breaks.” Greg Beck, a 35-year veteran surfer and owner of Surfers Supplies on Asbury Avenue

ary George Gerlach, who in 1962 opened Surfers Supplies. He was highly instrumental in introducing the island to surfing in the development of the Ocean City Surfing Association. Ocean City has a genuine and strong surf scene that not only brings forth competitive surfers, but also helps preserve the lifestyle, which to people like Beck and Kulisek are what is most important. “The Ocean City scene isn’t unlike any other surf scene in terms of its players,” says Kulisek. “There’s the old guys that longboard because it’s easier, the summer kooks who have no idea what’s going on, the mid-life crisis guys trying to relive their former glory, a few B-class pros, and then a bunch of normal people mixed in.” For some, surfing is a means of escape, in Ocean City, took to the waves last sumas it was for Kulisek when he first became mer upon Hurricane Irene’s exit. interested.

FOOD & DRINK

Building a Better Burger By Frank Gabriel

HAVE SPENT A LIFETIME IN PURSUIT of the perfect cheeseburger. It is the ultimate, quintessential American food, with a hotly disputed history wherein at least four different restaurants — respectively in Pasadena and Los Angeles, California, Louisville, Kentucky and Denver, Colorado — all lay claims to its origination. While this may sound to some rather a pedestrian culinary dream, the story I am about to relate should dispel that notion. Chef Tim Davis, of Caesar’s Atlantic City’s Seven Star Lounge, recently prevailed at an in-house corporate national burger challenge involving several hundred competitors from restaurants around the country called the Best Burger Battle 2012. His entry, ironically enough, almost never saw light of day. Davis was only informed of Caesar’s contest the morning of the local event. Having “about two hours to brainstorm and put it together,” the 34-year-old concocted a combination of meat, cheese, bun and toppings that proved nothing short of magic. His half-pounder begins with a 70/30 mix of ground rib eye. That cut of beef, also preferred for Philly cheese steak, possesses a lovely, speckled marbling of fat and a dense, rich flavor profile. His patty gets exclusively pan-seared because “burgers tend to dry out quickly on a grill.” Another secret weapon he’s happy to share is butter. Prior to arrival in that sizzling sauté device, the pan receives a liberal dose of melted butter. If you think about it, this makes sense, since beef and butter derive from the same bovine source.

Caesars chef Tim Davis with his masterpiece burger. Once fully lubricated and heated, the burger is added. This is a crucial juncture in the process, with Davis insisting “for the first few minutes, don’t touch it ... and never press it!” The meat must be allowed time to properly caramelize and crust, while simultaneously maintaining structure. Five minutes later, the burger gets flipped and finished in a 300-degree oven after, of course, the addition of another essential ingredient, cheese, specifically Cooper Sharp. The chef splits two pieces lengthwise, creating a double-thick layer, which decadently oozes and melts while the meat roasts. Cooked to an internal temp of 125 degrees, it arrives a marvelously messy medium just prior to a brief respite.

“Equally important is that it gets to sit and rest for three to five minutes,” says Davis. Once internal juices have fully recirculated, Davis applies his own signature finishing flourishes. These include an onion Brioche bun, heirloom tomatoes and mixed field greens. But it is a pair of porky add-ons that supply the “oomph” that makes this such a special sandwich. First, maple syrup candied apple-wood smoked bacon. Sure, that’s a mouthful. So is the taste. Slices of pork belly are painted with amber maple syrup, then slowly sizzled in an oven until just shy of crisp. They get cross-hatched atop the burger, sweet, salty and with just enough textural difference from the ground meat to be really glorious.

Then there is Davis’ true work of genius — a Vidalia onion, bacon and bourbon spread. Trust us folks, this ain’t yer standard special sauce. Onions get caramelized, and blended with fully cooked, chopped bacon plus liquor. This mixture is allowed to reduce until thickened and cooled. Mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, ketchup, honey and Worcestershire sauce join the fray and the finished product is refrigerated for a day to allow all those diverse elements time to frolic together. The ensuing masterpiece is a complex, sticky condiment that had us licking the excess off a plate after sampling. Perhaps the coolest thing about this gastronomic adventure is Davis sharing the entire process with the world via a YouTube instructional video (Google search “Chef Tim’s Burger Recipe for Best Burger Battle 2012”). A veteran of 11 years with Caesars, the still-youthful chef worked his way up the old fashioned way; through the line. Beginning his career under the direction of celebrity chef Robert Irvine, eventually toiling at almost every room on the property, he jokes “I’ve been on all the rides.” This beatific burger will soon be available locally at Caesar’s Cafe Roma and is also featured in Las Vegas at Kerry Simon’s Harrah’s-based emporium KGB (Kerry’s Gourmet Burgers). Davis recommends the ideal beverage to accompany this delight is Rogue Brewing’s Voodoo Donut (named in honor of Portland, Oregon’s iconic bake shop) Bacon Maple Ale. Which, for us at least, sounds just about perfect. n

What does it mean when you play that song “Candy” by the Astros and then you sing, “Call for Phillip Morris”? — Denise, Margate The vocals right before the musical breaks in that song, when he sings, “Can-dee, Candee!” always reminded me of the commercials for Phillip Morris cigarettes where little Johnny, the bellhop, would yell out, “Call for Phillip Morr-ees!” Jerry, nice mention in the new James Brown biography, The One. They credit you with breaking one of his early singles wide open. — JW,

MONDAY, SEPT. 3

James Brown: Live at the Apollo Actually it was his album Live at the Apollo. James Brown, just like Fats Domino, Little Richard, Lloyd Price, and Chuck Berry, even though he came later, took rock and roll a step further with his blend of soul and funk. I recognized his sound back when I was buying my records at the Sun Ray Drug Store in South Philly, where you could listen to obscure artists and labels before you purchased their records. Later on, in 1962, when I heard the album Live at the Apollo, to me it was revolutionary. No album, other than Bobby Darin at the Copa, was able to pick up the excitement of a live performance the way that album did with James at the Apollo. The label did not want to release a live album because it didn’t lend itself to single play, but I played the whole album and my audience flipped just as I did. James was a dear friend who certainly is missed in our musical world today. You played a song, “Walking in Rhythm,” by the Yardbirds. Could this be the British group the Yardbirds? — Jason Carty, New Bern, North

Carolina

Not the Yardbirds but the Blackbyrds. “Walking in Rhythm” was produced by jazzman Donald Byrd and performed by a group made up of his students who called themselves the Blackbyrds. n

NCE AGAIN, GREETINGS AND salutations. Another amazing weekend at Memories. And even though Labor Day is right around the corner, it seems like we’ve just begun. Friday night, jam packed. My old friend Taylor Mills was in the groove with a beautiful blonde. The kids from Resorts, with one of my favorite entertainment directors, Stephanie Nielson, danced the night away along with a whole bunch of folks from Las Vegas and the kids from St. Tommy More. Even my old friends from Hedgerow Theatre who were at the Kimmel Center in Philly auditioning for the movie Jersey Boys popped on by. And Saturday night it got even better. My pal Butchie and his lovely wife Joan on the dance floor with the entire Picone family. Over at Deserie’s bar, the Mighty Quinn with his crew. Of course Dawn and Joe, along with Alexis, always a part of the Memories scene, along with Magdalena, Anthony and Sean, who looked like Samson after Delilah did him in. Also Ray and his lovely Lenore, Cannuli’s Sausage, the ever popular Chazz Palminteri lookalike, my buddy Donny Demasi, attorney Chris/Cat at Nigel’s bar, and over at Kathy’s bar, my main man Dave Casinelli, his lovely Joanne, along with his brother- and sister-inlaw, and on and on. With Labor Day just a week away, if you haven’t gotten your energy boost at Memories yet, hurry on in. Friday night is a blast with free food buffet and no cover after 11 pm, and Saturday, it’s the Who’s Who of the show business world and shore scene. And special congratulations to our buddy Tom Coyle, who is very much involved producing events at the Sunnybrook Ballroom in Pottstown, on his very first grandson, little Gunner. Tom says, “I’m telling you, he is the new Geator. When the doctor slapped him, he didn’t cry, he spoke and said, ‘Mom, you’re the best.’” And now, let’s ask the Geator.

Full scale Broadway musical ‘Rock of Ages’ invades the Boardwalk at Caesars By Lori Hoffman

HEN THE LET-IT-ALL-HANG-OUT musical Hair became a hit on Broadway in 1968, it began a seismic shift in musical theater. While traditional musical theater continued to thrive, rock music was now also a permanent part of the landscape. Hair could be called the spirit guide for Rock of Ages, the 1980s era arena rock musical whose continuing run on Broadway has put it in the top 100 for Broadway longevity. Rock of Ages has taken up residence on the Boardwalk at Caesars and unlike most touring musicals presented in Atlantic City, it has not been sliced and diced to fit into a casino-friendly time slot and get the gamblers back at the slots. This production is the full two and a half hours with an intermission. That was a smart move by Caesars since Rock of Ages is an all out blast. How can you not enjoy a celebration of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll that features a terrific cast belting out such insanely infectious rock anthems as “We Built This City,” “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” “Any Way You Want It” and “Don’t Stop Believin’.” And, if you think you know Rock of Ages from the recent movie version starring Tom Cruise, you don’t. The fun was drained out of the screen version to misshape it into a star vehicle for Cruise, and it didn’t begin to capture the energy and delightful choreography of the stage show. The year is 1987 when hair metal/ arena rock dominated the music world. In Los Angeles, the epicenter of rock was at the Sunset Strip. Dreamers arrive every day looking for rock stardom, including Sherrie (Shannon Mullen) who meets Drew (Dominique Scott), a young man who dreams of being a star as he works behind the bar at the world famous Bourbon Room. As their budding romance develops to the tune of “Waiting For A Girl Like You” our hilarious narrator Lonny (Justin Colombo), doing an effective Jack Black School of Rock tribute, explains that love will go sour, heartbreak will happen

but that a happy ending will eventually arrive. Rock of Ages also weaves in a story about political shenanigans that threaten to force the rock clubs and exotic dancer joints on the Strip to close. A love story and a chance to root against slimy, corrupt corporate types? Rock of Ages offers just enough plot to provide an anchor for the sweet and funny musical numbers. Other characters who embrace the Rock of Ages world with a musical highlight or two are the Bourbon’s owner Dennis (Matt Ban), rock god Stacee Jaxx (Matt Nolan), Franz (Stephen Michael Kane), the son of the businessman trying to buy out the Strip, and protest organizer Regina (Katie Postotnik). The latter two have a showstopping duet with “Hit Me With Your Best Shot.”

Thanks to a terrific ensemble, great music and clever choreography, set design and costumes, Rock of Ages has brightened up the Boardwalk with an authentic Broadway vibe. n

Rock of Ages’ Matt Ban Matt Ban stars in Rock of Ages as Dennis, the owner of the Bourbon Room where the action takes place. Ban is coming home, a native of West Milford, NJ. Prior to the show’s opening night, he gave Atlantic City Weekly the lowdown on what to expect. AC Weekly: I must confess that the only thing I know about the show is seeing the movie and that wasn’t so memorable. Matt Ban: (Laughs) The good thing about Rock of Ages in general is that it is just pure fun from start to finish. It’s a jukebox musical with

all of the best hair metal songs of the ‘80s. It’s a fun story about two kids finding love on Sunset Boulevard and the craziness that surrounds the [rock] lifestyle. It doesn’t take itself too seriously but it has some tender moments. All the songs people hear are songs they will recognize and have a connection to. ACW: Has this production been on tour? Matt: This, we’re coming off a nine-week stay in Chicago. ACW: Tell us about your character and how he’s involved in the story. Matt: He owns the bar where all the action of Rock of Ages takes place. It is an old institution of the Sunset Strip. It’s where a lot of famous musicals got their start, one of them being Stacee Jaxx, the Tom Cruise role in the movie. My journey in the show is trying to save my bar and the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle from a German businessman who wants to shut down the Strip and turn it into a Times Square tourist wonderland. ACW: What era of music influenced you growing up? Matt: I grew up with a lot of ’90s grunge music. I was born in 1987, so I missed a lot of the ’80s. This show is giving my generation a chance to experience the ’80s, which is great. ACW: Have you been to Atlantic City before? Matt: Oh my God yes. I did a show in Atlantic City at the beginning of my career at the Tropicana [Footloose], so I am very excited to be back because I love Atlantic City. It’s such a fun place. I think this show is going to do so well there — it’s exactly the type of environment where this show should thrive. ACW: Do you have a favorite song that you do in the show? Matt: I’m a Jersey guy so I’m obligated to say I love all the Bon Jovi music. My favorite part of the show, I sing a duet with the narrator of the show, Lonny, “I Can’t Fight This Feeling,” an ode to their bromance. The kid who plays Lonny [Justin Colombo] and I have become very good friends so we have a lot of fun out there. ACW: Is there a particular song or moment where the audience goes completely crazy? Matt: There are a couple of times and it is very palpable. When the guitar riffs for “Wanted: Dead of Alive” start and of course at the end of the show when we finish with “Don’t Stop Believin.’” People start screaming and clapping. By the end of that number almost everyone is on their feet. — Lori Hoffman

You started out as a DJ back when you were in your teens before you started Duran Duran. Yeah, funny enough, when I started I was DJing — I was around 17 years old. It was really more helpful than I could have imagined because, you know, DJs today are superstars, but all I was trying to do was make people dance. And it was interesting because you learn so much about what people like and what they don’t like; what tempos work and how to mix tracks together and segue things that have similar keys. Silly things that now I think are pretty obvious, but at 17, they weren’t. I understand the rise of the DJ because it’s really about an understanding of what people want, and also about musical knowledge. What works, and what’s exciting and what’s uplifting and what can be chilled out and bring people back down. The psychology of it is fascinating. I’m very grateful that I had that period.

When I blew my voice out in Cannes, at the film festival in mid-May, we weren’t sure when we would be able to resume and the summer wait was long and full of anxiety – especially for me.

The band has dozens of hit tunes, from “Rio,” “The Reflex,” “View to a Kill,” Ordinary World,” “Wild Boys” and “Is There Something I Should Know?” Duran Duran will start writing and recording a new album early next year, according to Rhodes, who called in from a tour stop in Memphis, Tennessee.

before. And it’s proved to be quite a popular piece. And it was fun to do so I suspect we’ll want to do something in that area again.

ATLANTIC CITY WEEKLY • AUGUST 23 - 29, 2012

FTER NEARLY TWO YEARS ON the road, including a debut at Revel in Atlantic City on Saturday, Aug. 25, during its current month-long tour of the States, the members of Duran Duran are still hungry like a pack of wolves. You’d think the pop band, which was formed in the late 1970s in Birmingham, England, and rose to major international success thanks to the early MTV era and the group’s dynamic sound — a mix of dance, pop, electronica and new wave — would be resting on its laurels in 2012, but as Nick Rhodes, one of the band’s founding members tells Atlantic City Weekly, the band is performing the best shows of its career. This vibrancy and full-fledged energy is apparent in the band’s recently released live album A Diamond in the Mind, which was just released as a DVD in July. The album/DVD is from the band’s 2011 tour of the U.K. Lead singer Simon LeBon says, “The 2011 UK tour was particularly significant for all of us on a number of levels. In the early part of the year, I lost my voice and we were forced to cancel several months of touring, including all of our British dates. It was a really difficult time for us as a band as we had a new album out that we were just breaking

Lange Bounces Back

The dark, often self-destructive comic has a new book and a new lease on life, and headlines the Borgata’s Music Box on Saturday, Aug. 25.

Artie Lange

Where: Borgata Music Box, A.C. When: Saturday, Aug. 25, 9pm How Much: Tickets $55 and $65.

AUGUST 23 - 29, 2012 • ATLANTIC CITY WEEKLY

RTIE LANGE IS A TRAIN WRECK and that’s just one reason to catch the unpredictable comic/radio personality. The mercurial Lange is a politically incorrect wise guy, who has been as sarcastic as he has been high over his long, strange but amusing journey. The observational humorist is unlike most contemporary entertainers. He walks a high wire on and off stage. Like a slugger, Lange has had big hits and misses while performing under the lights and joking on the Howard Stern Show for nearly a decade. Lange is big on taking risks, some of which have paid off royally and others, well, those are best put behind him. “That’s the way it should be,” Lange says while calling from his Hoboken apartment. “Nobody takes chances anymore. It’s not fun. Nothing is cool anymore. Country music ain’t cool. If Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash were around, they would be sick. You look at what’s happening in rock music and I just wish Jimi Hendrix would return from the grave and punch everyone in the face.” The former Mad TV cast member lives like rockers from a generation ago. He lives hard but he can still tell the tale, barely. In 2010 he tried to commit suicide and landed in a psychiatric ward for eight months. “I was in a dark hole for a long time,” Lange says. “It was horrible and I’m lucky to be alive.” The experience prompted Crash and Burn, a book, which will hit shelves in October. The project chronicles Lange’s near death experience and comeback. “I hit bottom and it was hell for a long time,” Lange says. “I look at the last three years and I’m just happy to be here.” Crash and Burn is the follow-up to Too Fat to Fish, which entered the New York Times best-seller list at No. 1 in 2008. Lange has made the most off of his appetite for self destruction. “I’m having fun with it,” Lange says. “My fans are having fun with it. No matter what, I’m still me.” The irreverent Lange, who will per-

Lange: Glad to be alive

“I was in a dark hole for a long time. It was horrible and I’m lucky to be alive.” form Saturday, Aug. 25, at the Borgata, has been dealing with demons that have almost taken him away but he has never lost his black humor and ability to shock behind the microphone. “Last month, I was sickened when I saw Justin Bieber on the cover of Rolling Stone,” Lange says. “It said ‘Justin Bieber, hot, ready, legal.’ I had the urge to help Jerry Sandusky break out of jail so he could spend some time with Bieber.

C’mon, it’s ridiculous who Rolling Stone puts on the cover these days.” Lange is content to deliver stand-up and co-host the Nick and Artie Show with comic Nick DiPaolo, which airs on SiriusXM and is syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks. “I’m having a great time with Nick,” Lange says. “We talk about whatever we feel like, which is like the show I do on the road. It beats what my dad did

[toiled as a general contractor]. I have no complaints and I’m just thrilled to still be alive.” New Jersey has helped shape the comedic sense of the former longshoreman at Port Newark. Lange is a quintessential Garden Stater. He grew up in Newark, has a place in Toms River and enjoys coming to Atlantic City. “New Jersey has had a huge effect on me,” Lange says. “I’m Jersey throughand-through. Growing up in New Jersey when I did just gave me a natural edge. It gave me that sarcasm, which I’ve used as a comic. You’re a certain way if you live in New Jersey. I played a million clubs in New Jersey. I played Rascals, Bananas and all of these odd rooms like [the ones] part of T.G.I. Fridays. I think there is something about working your way up in New Jersey. There’s no place like it. I love it here, whether I’m in North Jersey or down in Atlantic City. I have such a good time in Atlantic City. I’ve been going down there for a long time and the fans, whether they’re from New Jersey, New York or Philadelphia, they’ve been very supportive.” Lange believes the pain he has experienced over the years has helped him become a better artist. “I think dark things help most people become better performers,” Lange says. “Look at the Rolling Stones and where they were when they were doing Chuck Berry covers and all the hell they went through that inspired [the documentary film] Gimme Shelter.” Lange will always praise Stern for helping his career reach another level. “I had a great time on his show and I can’t thank him enough,” Lange says. “After things happened [his suicide attempt], Howard just wanted to make sure I was OK.” Stern thought it was time for the two to part company professionally, largely for Lange’s own good. “Howard didn’t think those morning hours and that atmosphere was good for me and he was right,” Lange said. “He has been really supportive and I’m back doing what I do, which is standup and I’m on the radio again. I’m a survivor.” n

HEN YOU ARE A FILM CRITIC who admits liking everything from R-rated action flicks to high tone British period dramas, there is a reason you adopt the nickname Moviejunkie. So perhaps it isn’t necessary to declare Expendables 2 a “guilty pleasure.” Hell, I’m not guilty at all about enjoying the movie’s excessive body count, with action scenes that play out like the most violent video game you could imagine, and a cast of old school and new school action heroes that starts with Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham, and continues with Bruce Willis, out-of-work politician Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lungren, Jet Li, Terry Crews and Randy Couture. Joining this original Expendables crew is rising action star Liam Hemsworth, Chinese film star Nan Yu, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris. What, no Steven Seagal? Too bad, he could have competed with Schwarzenegger as worst actor. Not that a plot is really necessary, but basically villain Van Damme is planning to steal weapons grade plutonium to sell to a variety of clients. When he gets the drop on Stallone’s crew of mercenaries he kills one of them just for spite. This is when Stallone declares it is time to, “Track ‘em. Find ‘em. Kill ‘em.” That is what they do under the direction of Simon West (Con Air), who takes over the directing helm from Stallone, who is content this time to co-write, star, and have an incredibly entertaining final hand-do-hand showdown with Van Damme. The best addition to the sequel is Chuck Norris, who provides a hilarious cameo while Willis and Schwarzenegger do a bit more than a cameo this time, but not so much that they make much of an impact beyond The Arnold re-booting his “I’m back” line. You would think that being governor of California would have sharpened his acting skills but not so much. Statham hangs in the background as the likable sidekick, but his presence provides the only sustained acting skill in this testosterone fueled action comedy. Expendables 2 delivers exactly what one expects — excessively engaging action and a few laughs. Like us:

Expendables 2

Streep Wants Her Sexy Back Oscar’s grand dame Meryl Streep teams up with Tommy Lee Jones and Steve Carell in Hope Springs, the mildly amusing contemplation of a 31-year marriage on life support directed by David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada) and written by Vanessa Taylor. Streep’s Kay is tired of being little more than husband Arnold’s (Tommy Lee Jones) housekeeper. Sex went out the window years ago; they don’t even touch. However, Kay decides to do something crazy and gives her husband a directive — join her for a week of intense couples counseling (Steve Carell is the doctor) to see if their broken marriage can be repaired. This would be a Lifetime movie with a lesser cast, and even with this amazing trio, it drags along with only the occasional moments of honest insight and at least one hilarious sequence involving Streep attempting to be sexually adventurous at a movie theater. Beyond that highlight, Hope Springs is a series of small moments that don’t come together as much as one might expect from this A-list cast. n
