‘9’ …a harrowing view of machines, after man is no longer on Earth… Review by Stan Robinson Technology is all around us and has become a necessity to sustain our very existence as well as our luxuries. I’m reminded of sci-fi writer and scientist Isaac Asimov statements on robots and machines and why they should never be made in the exact image of man because we’ll relate to them as more human than as machines. His second point is to never let machines fix or design other machines because we’ll lose the knowledge of what is being created by them. The sci-fi movie “I, Robot” (2004) starring Will Smith, presented the scenario of robots because of the aspect of intellectual reasoning, began to realize they were so much more than man and should be in control. In “WALL-E” (2008), machines were the only survivors after man leaves Earth after the planet becomes unliveable from waste materials. In 9, the theme of machines rising to survive is again explored. In the past, The Great Machine, created by man to supervise the other machines, turned on man. As the end came, a small group of machines is given the spark of life; in essence a soul of sorts, by a scientist as man’s end came. It’s now the present, and the group of machines with numbers as names, are set to launch an all out AZWeeklyMagazine.com

assault against the Great Machine they have dubbed The Beast. It’s the last stand as the “numbers” machines, instilled with the essence of man and his will to survive and led by #9 who was instilled with the essence of the scientist, set out to defeat The Beast. 9 is an intriguing and unnerving thought about the possibility of losing control of the machines around us. The voice actors bring to life the number machines, which endears us to each of them. The number machines are: #1 (Christopher Plummer) a domineering war veteran and the group’s long-time leader; #2 (Martin Landau) a kindly but now-frail inventor; #3 and #4, are scholarly twins who communicate nonverbally and mostly with each other; #5 (John C. Reilly) is a stalwart and nurturing engineer; #6 (Crispin Glover) is an erratic artist with visions; #7 (Jennifer Connelly) is a brave and self-sufficient warrior; #8 (Fred Tatasciore) is the none-toobright muscle and enforcer for #1; and #9 (Elijah Wood) rallies the number machines to band together while exploring the will to live, the power of community, and how one soul can change the world they now inherit. 9, based on the 2005 Oscar® nominated Best Short Film for Animation by Shane Acker; directed by Shane Acker; written by Pamela Pettler; Rating: PG-13 for violence and scary images; Focus Features release; Runtime: 79 minutes.

Hollywood Icon, Actor George Hamilton… Interview by Stan Robinson The movie “My One and Only” starring Renée Zellweger, which opened nationally last weekend, is one of those smaller independent films that on the strength of the characterizations and an engaging story, is gaining momentum through the ‘buzz’ known as word of mouth. I’m guessing that nominations in a few categories could be the ultimate result. Basically the story, set in the 1950’s, centers on a high society woman (Renée Zellweger) living in New York with two teenage sons and married to bandleader who just can’t seem to be loyal to his wedding vows. Having enough of being ‘the other woman’ she decides with her two teenage sons, to drive across country to Los Angeles to start a new life. On their journey, as they work their way across country with odd jobs, each solidify their relationship with each other, while discovering the meaning of finding happiness by being true to oneself and those we love. At the end of “My One and Only”, there’s the final scene that reveals one of the teenage boys is actor George Hamilton! The film is based on George Hamilton’s autobiography titled “Don’t Mind If I Do”. For those of us who are ‘boomers’, he’s the debonair, suave, and sophisticated actor with the perpetual good looks and a perfect tan for more than 40 years. A highly recognizable actor in movies, and a featured role in the highly popular night-time continuing TV drama “Dynasty” during its ratings peak of 1985-86, George Hamilton held viewers

of both films and TV with his irresistible charm. As one of the executive producers of “My One and Only” and the story focusing on those formative teenage years along with his mother and brother, he told me that it was quite an undertaking to bring the story to the screen! Even the start of the interview will be a priceless moment for me. I had pressed the studio representative pretty hard on wanting to speak to George Hamilton because the story is so compelling. When he called, the time of the call for the interview had not yet been set. There’s a preparation process I go through for each interview. When he called, I was stepping out of the shower, answered the telephone to the voice on the other end saying, “Hi, I’m George Hamilton”. Absolute shock set in and I responded in the best professional, yet pleading voice I could muster, “Sir, would you mind terribly if I asked you to ring back in an hour’s time?” He answered “Sure” and hung up. I sat, took a deep breath and thought it’s the first interview in 4 years that I’ve blown; he’s not calling back. An hour goes by, an hour and ten minutes, at an hour and twenty minutes I knew it wasn’t going to happen. The telephone rings, I answer with my traditional “Stan Robinson!” the voice said, “Hi Stan, George Hamilton”. He did call back! George Hamilton received his star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame on August 12, 2009. We talked for quite a while, you can read the interview with Actor George Hamilton and my review for “My One and Only” at www.ScreenScene.org and www.AZWeeklyMagazine.com

Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar “Month of Discovery” In September The annual unveiling of the new Fleming’s 100™, the award-winning list of 100 wines by the glass, at Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar has become a much anticipated event for food and wine lovers. This year’s debut of the new 2009/2010 list has evolved into Fleming’s firstever “Month of Discovery” which will be a month-long celebration in September: The new Fleming’s 100 debuted September 1 – This year’s collection of 100 wines by the glass acknowledges the pleasure of discovering a great wine at a great value and features 30 wines available for $10 a glass or less. The reasons for the lower price on a bottle of wine can be as simple as supply and demand or as varied as an overabundance of grapes or lower cost of land and grape growing. Jansen op de Haar explains that lesser known grape growing regions like Argentina, Spain and South Africa are producing high quality wines at lower costs than some more famous areas like Napa Valley or France. Selected by Jansen op de Haar in conjunction with local Fleming’s wine managers, the Fleming’s 100 includes popular selections as well as

The Fleming’s 100 wines by the glass list is comprised of 80 selections that are available in every Fleming’s restaurant across the country, and 20 selections chosen on a local basis to respond to regional preferences. Additionally, Fleming’s has a selection of dessert wines and ports as well as over 80 wines from the world’s most exceptional vineyards on its Reserve List (these wines are available by the bottle). The award-winning wine lists at Fleming’s are known for its progressive format, which lists wines in order of their intensity, from lighter to fuller. Celebrate the Month of Discovery and the new Fleming’s 100 with these special menus and events: Wine Tuesdays Every Tuesday in September are (9th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th), guests will receive 25 percent off any bottle selection from the new Fleming’s 100. Guests taking advantage of the Wine Tuesday offerings will also receive a Fleming’s card good for a future 25 percent discount on a Fleming’s 100 bottle, through December 30th.

The updated menu features new wine selections from the Fleming’s 100, as well as new cocktail offerings.

CLUB! SECTION PARTY MORE – AND STAY FOREVER YOUNG ON THE DANCE FLOOR In terms of mind, body and soul – the power of dance is far more powerful than you may know. Embraced world-wide, it’s an unspoken international language without cultural barriers. People from all parts of the world, with different ideologies, meet on the dance floor. Cultural interaction improves our health in so many different ways by expanding our mind and sharing our spirit each and every time we set ourselves free.

Dance elevates our mood by raising our endorphin levels. This is what allows us to heal stress and depression, two of our immune system’s biggest enemies. It helps us establish our self-confidence and self discipline while improving the harmony between our mind and

body, giving us a greater sense of well-being. Dancing is a great way for people of all ages to get and stay in shape. Besides being fun, dancing has many positive health benefits. Following are just a few of the many health benefits of dance. 1. Flexibility Flexibility is an important part of being healthy. Dance requires a great amount of flexibility. Most dance classes begin with a warm-up including several stretching exercises. Dancers must strive to achieve full range of motion for all the major muscle groups. The greater the range of motion, the more muscles can flex and extend. Most forms of dance require dancers to perform moves that require bending and stretching, so dancers naturally become more flexible by simply dancing. 2. Strength Strength is defined as the ability of a muscle to exert a force against resistance. Dancing builds strength by forcing the muscles to resist against a dancer’s own body weight. Many styles of dance,

September 10th - September 16th, 2009 AZ WeeklyMagazine.com

including jazz and ballet, require jumping and leaping high into the air. Jumping and leaping require tremendous strength of the major leg muscles. Ballroom dancing builds strength. Consider the muscle mass a male ballroom dancer develops by lifting his partner above his head! 3. Endurance Dance is physical exercise. Exercise increases endurance. Endurance is the ability of muscles to work hard for increasingly longer periods of time without fatigue. Regular dancing is great for improving endurance, especially vigorous dancing such as line and ballroom dancing. Elevating the heart rate can increase stamina. Just as in any form of exercise, regular dancing will build endurance. 4. Sense of Well-Being Dancing is a social activity. Studies have shown that strong social ties and socializing with friends contribute to high self-esteem and a positive outlook. Dancing provides many opportunities to meet other people. Joining a dance class can increase self-confidence and build social skills. Because physical

activity reduces stress and tension, regular dancing gives an overall sense of well-being. 5. Forever Young Dancing is tremendously beneficial in keeping us young. It retards the aging process immensely. It benefits our heart, cardiovascular system and increases our lung capacity. Fact: The muscle exertion and breathing rates of dancers performing in one dance competition is equivalent to those of cyclists, swimmers and an Olympiclevel 800-meter runner. 6. Strong Bones, Lubricated Joints Dance aids in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, which is a major concern for woman, especially during post-menopause because of the significant drop in estrogen that occurs at this stage. A decrease in our estrogen levels is what stops calcium from being absorbed into our bones. Dance also keeps joints lubricated, which helps prevent arthritis. 7. Calorie Blaster Dance exercises our bodies to allow for increased circulation. It helps us burn those calories away, while improving our stamina. It is estimated that dance burns anywhere from 5 to 10 calories per minute depending on speed and intensity.

On the Cheap: I always stop in at Drift Tiki Bar when I’m in Old Town Scottsdale, mostly because it’s close to where I usually start out or on the way back from other adventures in Scottsdale, and because it always has a lively crowd and decent music. With the new “All Day, Everyday” drink specials I’ll be stopping in a lot more. For those lost at sea among Scottsdale’s pricier places, Drift offers your wallet refuge with $4 well drinks and $5 Jager Bombs and vodka Red Bulls. Best of all, if you’re going with a large group you can all go native with $20 mojito, daiquiri, margarita, Bacardi Dragonberry Punch or Bacardi Jungle Juice pitchers. Drift is also pricing draft beer pitchers for only $9. All of theses drink specials will give you a reason to stop in and enjoy being a castaway for a day or night. www.driftlounge.com

A Permanent DD: Phoenix is almost impossible to navigate without a vehicle, but thanks to the recent installment of the light rail it has gotten a little bit easier. If you have a car or some other reliable mode of transportation, getting to all of the Valley’s best hang outs isn’t usually a problem, it’s the getting home part that can be tricky, expensive, and dangerous, especially if you have been celebrating with alcohol. Smart and responsible people cab it or call Designated Drivers Inc. (DDI). DDI provides a DD to drive your car home for you, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In 30 minutes or less DDI can pick drive you from Sun City to Tempe and everything else in between, back home. Basic fare is only $55, plus mileage after the first 10 miles; you can even purchase rides in packages. If $55 seems expensive, you can always get your passengers to split the cost. Avoid putting yourself and others in danger by not driving at all and instead calling Designated Drivers Inc. to do the driving for you. Get a DD by calling 877-456-RIDE (7433). Check out phoenix.designateddriversinc.com for more information.

From September 8th-27th, Z’Tejas is kicking off their 5th Annual Chile Fest September. Chile Fest features a special menu filled with chile-centric dishes for both lunch and dinner (and drinks too!), and that menu is available at all four Z’Tejas locations. The best part? A buck from every item on the menu will go to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Some dishes on the menu include New Mexico Chile Barbacoa Tacos (slow roosted beef barbacoa topped with roasted chiles, cotija cheese, chipolte cream), Seared Chile Crusted Scallops (chile dusted and seared scallops on a bed of green chile sweet potatoes, topped with a serrano and parsley chimichurri sauce), and Green Chile Pork Rellenos (green chile pork, jack cheese stuffed in a flash-fried New Mexico roasted chile, dusted with cotija cheese and chipolte sour cream). Doesn’t it all sound awesome? For the full menu visit ztejas.com. What’s in a Portrait? You know we’re not just about eating, drinking, music and partying right? Right? That’s why we like to throw some other stuff in our column…like photography. Something that you can do when its, say, raining outside or when you have a free weekday evening. Well, on September 19th the Phoenix Art Museum is debuting “Face to Face: 150 Years of Photographic Portraiture.” The exhibit reveals the hidden stories portraits tell by taking a look at the ways photographers express their subjects and the way personal, professional or cultural relationships have an impact. Some of the greatest photogs of the 19th-, 20th-, and 21st-centuries are featured including Southworth and Hawes, Gertrude Käsebier, Edward Weston, Dorothea Lange, W. Eugene Smith, Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus, Yosuf Karsh and Richard Avedon. Admission to the exhibition comes with your general museum admission, which will cost you $10 for adults and $8 for full-time college students with ID. For more information visit phxart.org. Be safe, be a good person. Till next time…

BEAT THE ECONOMY WITH PROVEN MONEY SAVING TIPS AND TRICKS A few practical and painless money saving tips to help you save some cash each month. Combine your cable, internet and telephone service. Companies now offer combined services that not only cost less, but offer the convenience of a single bill. Request a reduction in the interest rate for your home equity line of credit. Your mortgage company can agree to reduce the rate by more than 0.50%. And if you are looking for a home equity loan, LendingTree Home Equity Loans is a great place to check out available options. Request a reduction in the interest rate on your credit cards. As with home equity loans, credit card companies sometimes are willing to reduce the interest rate. It can’t hurt to ask. Refinance your mortgage. If you can reduce your interest rate by one percent or more, it is often beneficial to refinance. This is particularly true for those with high rates due to less than stellar credit scores. If your score has improved, you may qualify for a better rate. Start by asking your current mortgage lender about lower rates. Get rid of Private Mortgage Insurance. If your down payment was less than 20%, you are probably paying PMI. Once you have a 20%

cushion through reducing your debt and home appreciation (yes, prices do go up from time to time), contact your mortgage company to start the process of removing the PMI. Get a rewards card. There are many reward cards that pay out in cash or points that can be redeemed for travel or products. Many of these cards have no annual fee.

Are You Ready For The Next Downturn?

Take advantage of 0% credit card offers. You can save thousands of dollars using 0% balance transfer credit cards. As long as the cards won’t cause you to spend more, they can offer substantial savings. Make sure, however, that you keep an eye on the balance transfer fee, which can wipe out your savings. Drive your car longer. The buy new versus used debate often overlooks the most important factor--how long you own your car. Drive it as long as you safely can for substantial savings. Pay car insurance semi-annually. Several car insurance agencies offer quarterly and semi-annual payment options. It costs more to pay quarterly, and twice a year is more convenient anyway. Get rid of your home telephone. This is a great way to save money. Many don’t do it because of the 911 service, and that’s understandable. But if you’re comfortable relying on a cell phone, there’s no reason to keep a land line. If you do, consider reducing your service to the minimum and only use the phone in an emergency.

LIFE – LIBERTY – AND THE PURSUIT OF A COMMON GOAL The Pride and Glory of American Football

It dwells deep in our bones and psyche – and it’s among us once again. If there is a game that ritualizes the American experience and heart & soul of competition, it is football. For two sacred hours, both men and women can enjoy sanctioned warfare away from decorum, forced politeness, and feminization of everyday life. Back and forth they struggle towards a goal; the powerful need to gain territory. In ten-yard increments, the scoring team pushes while the scored-upon team gives up precious ground.

In Europe, it’s called Soccer. In the United Kingdom, it’s called Rugby. But in the United States, it is screamed from the mountain tops… American Football!!

And of course, the number one-ranked day

in the year when Americans eat the most, is of course Thanksgiving, a day of family, turkey and touchdown fever. In terms of food consumption, no other day throughout the year comes close to the festive power of a Thanksgiving football gathering. Fans across the map proudly don their jerseys, to watch and cheer their favorite teams. In both college and the pros, professional football teams, like aggressive, marauding tribes of history, have their distinctive colors and markings to set them aside from the rest. This unified fanfare gives our players and fans a sense of belonging to a unique community, a proud “we” versus “them” mentality. The thrilling sight of our big bruisers, running from the tunnel at the beginning of the game, with overflowing testosterone, aggression, and adulation of screaming fans… it has to be one of the best feelings of community and camaraderie a game could ever bring. With its relatively short season and one game per week schedule, fans feel a sense of urgency, knowing that a victory (or, alas, a defeat) must sustain for the whole of the next week. Every game is important, even to winning teams vying for home-

field advantage in the post season playoffs. The chance for error is slim, much like the daily mentality we carry throughout our lives. The players are driven by frenzied crowds, feeding from their emotion. Competitors have an incredible desire to play as hard as possible, because deep within their souls is a love of the game that they’ve carried since they were kids. It’s always been more than a game; it’s a way of life. As a result, each is up for the scrap and willing to

sacrifice their bodies in a way most cannot conceive. All in an effort to win, as a team, as a solid unit joined together for a common cause. A need to be the greatest team the world has ever seen. In America, the game of football is far from just a sport. It’s life and death, good against bad and winning vs. losing. In this country, football is family…and it’s here among us once again.

How do I clean the felt on my table?

The main reason for cleaning your table it is to remove dirt, powder & chalk particles from the table that creates resistance with the balls making the table play slower.

The most basic technique is to brush the table before you play with a good Horse Hair Brush. This is fine when you are in a hurry to play but should not be the only thing you do. Tables get pretty dirty between the chalk, powder, dust etc. and brushing alone creates a large cloud of dust that will settle elsewhere in your house as well as back on the table.

There is also a product called Chalk Off that you spray on the table and it pulls the dirt out of the cloth. It works pretty well, but there is no substitute for a vacuum and wet cloth. Keeping the balls clean will also make the table play better and faster because dirt on the balls also creates resistance against the cloth. Until next time remember, if you want to play the game the way it was intended, keep the cloth and balls clean. The difference is amazing.

Periodically you should vacuum the table using a brush attachment. This will prevent the dust cloud. After vacuuming, take a slightly damp (not wet) cloth and wipe the cloth/felt down.

GOLF! SECTION

THE 10 GREATEST SEASONS IN GOLF HISTORY Incredible Rounds of Golf Worth Taking Time to Admire 1. Byron Nelson, 1945 The numbers are still staggering, more than 60 years later. Byron Nelson won a record 18 PGA Tour events in 1945, including 11 in a row, all while beating up on Hall of Fame opponents like Ben Hogan, Sam Snead and Jimmy Demaret. Contrarians are quick to point out that he won only one major that year, but that’s only because there was one played. Nelson won the PGA Championship, then a match play format, beating Gene Sarazen, Mike Turnesa, Denny Shute, Claude Harmon and Sam Byrd along the way. 2. Tiger Woods, 2000 Tiger Woods’ 2000 season is the benchmark by which all other golf campaigns in the modern era, including those of Woods himself, are now compared. He set or tied 27 PGA Tour records while winning nine of 20 starts, but here’s the scariest proposition: It could have been so much better. Woods finished fifth at the Masters (the only major he didn’t win that year) despite carding a triple-bogey and double-bogey in the opening round and was runner-up at the prestigious Players Championship, Tour Championship and WGC-Match Play Championship. 3. Bobby Jones, 1930 No player has won the modern Grand Slam, but Bobby Jones did clinch the antiquated version of all four major titles in one season, winning the U.S. and British opens and U.S. and British amateurs in 1930. A career amateur, Jones retired from competitive golf at the end of that season, saying at the time that winning championships “is something like a cage.

First you are expected to get into it and then you are expected to stay there. But of course, nobody can stay there.” 4. Ben Hogan, 1953 Score one for achievement over consistency with this selection. Sure, Ben Hogan’s 1946 season included 13 victories, but it is the ‘53 campaign for which he is best remembered. Just four years removed from a life-threatening car accident, Hogan competed in only seven events and won five of them, including three majors. Why didn’t he win the fourth? Because at the time, the PGA Championship overlapped with the British Open.

8. Jack Nicklaus, 1972 You didn’t think we’d get through this list without an entry from Jack Nicklaus, did you? While the Golden Bear has many seasons that could be nominated (he won multiple major titles in five different years), he gets the nod for his 1972 campaign, during which he won the initial two legs of the Grand Slam and five other events. 9. Arnold Palmer, 1960 Wherever Jack’s name is found, Arnold Palmer’s won’t be too far behind. In fact, Arnie’s 1960 season is eerily similar to that of Nicklaus in ‘72. Palmer won eight

times that year, claiming the Masters by one stroke over Ken Venturi and the U.S. Open by two over Nicklaus. 10. Lorena Ochoa, 2001-02 Lorena Ochoa’s eight-win LPGA season in 2007 helped her rise to No. 1 in the world, but it may have paled in comparison to her amateur exploits in 2001-02. In 10 college tournaments at the University of Arizona, she won eight, including seven in a row, and finished second in the other two. After turning pro in May, she played in 10 Futures Tour events, winning three to top the money list and earn her LPGA Tour card.

5. Annika Sorenstam, 2002 Annika Sorenstam was never better than in 2002, when she carded 11 LPGA titles, three second-place finishes and three thirds, finishing in the top 10 in 20 of 23 starts. (She also won both international tourneys she competed in, as well.) During the season, Ms. 59 set or tied 20 LPGA records and won her fourth major championship, successfully defending her Kraft Nabisco title. 6. Ryan Moore, 2004 Before 2004, only three men had won the U.S. Amateur and NCAA individual championship in the same year -- a trio of guys named Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods. Ryan Moore not only joined them four years ago, he one-upped ‘em, also winning the U.S. Amateur PubLinks, Western Amateur, Sahalee Players Championship and four other titles. 7. Mickey Wright, 1963 We can debate which of Mickey Wright’s seasons really belongs on this list. Is it the 1961 campaign, during which she won 10 titles and three majors? Or ‘63, when she posted 13 wins and two majors (including the Western Open, then considered a major)? I’ll take the latter, if only because it was her third of four consecutive years with double-digit victory totals.

Naked Dave’s Local Distortion The Naked Truth:

As most of you know, on September 2nd the band Evolution of the Kill lost most of their equipment in a fire. Due to play at Mardi Gras in Scottsdale on Friday the 4th, they were left in a world of hurt and didn’t know how they were going to pull this off. I would like to take this opportunity to give major kudos to Krank Amplifiers for stepping up to the plate and helping them out. Chris Catero of Krank supplied all their gear for the night, and I truly believe that is just way cool!

So! Friday night at Mardi Gras was the launch of a new magazine called Rockstars and Strippers. As we all know the two go hand in hand. (Just look at most rockstars, most of them are married to ex-strippers). That night I got my first chance to see Razer. AZ-based rock/metal outfit Razer was formed from the ashes of Metal Blade Records artist Wardog by bassist Chris Catero, guitarist Paul Sullivan and drummer Eric Bongiorno. Guitarist Jeremy Graves joined the fold soon after and the band started writing songs and gigging with Catero reluctantly serving as lead vocalist. Even though they hadn’t found the lead singer they were looking for just yet the band honed their writing chops and turned themselves into one of Phoenix’s premier local acts, opening for the likes of September 10th - September 16th, 2009 AZWeeklyMagazine.com

Judas Priest as well as other national acts that came through. Eventually an LA-based online ad placed by former Shift singer Chris Powers ended the exhaustive search as the band found “the voice” and the voice found “the band”. The new quintet quickly gelled with their efforts resulting in late 2006’s independently released “Falling in Line” album. The band’s heavy sound, mixed with exceptionally strong songwriting and Power’s powerhouse vocals, caught the ear of the staff at Phoenix’s KUPD radio station that started supporting the band locally, placing Razer on station sponsored shows and giving them the occasional spin even though the station doesn’t rotate unsigned acts. This band is unequivocally, one of the best bands I have seen in the local scene. Their harmonies were OUTSTANDING! They are tight as hell, and put on a great show, and I was very impressed with Powers vocals as well. 5 + Stars After a sweet bikini contest, Evolution of the Kill closed out the night. E of the K was founded by Lear Mason (vocals/guitar/programming) in Phoenix, AZ in 2008 and includes Mike “Lucky” Gahagan (bass), Carrie Bird (keyboards), and Erik Bishop (drums). Focusing on heavy, down-tuned guitar work, intricate drumming, and an aggressive yet melodic vocal style of metal. This is very evident in Lucky’s, very aggressive bass tone, and Lear’s vocals. Unfortunately I did not get to see them with their keyboardist Carrie, due to the fact she did not have any gear left from the fire. Evolution of the Kill is as outwardly vindictive as it is darkly subversive. The subtle use of piano, synths, and electronic drum loops throughout the songs adds a modern ambiance to this unique blend of rock and metal, while the lyrics cover themes of betrayal, addiction, atheism, and an overall resistance to conformity and complacency. Evolution of the Kill is an exercise in destruction as much as it is an outlet for creation. In February 2009 the band issued

Saturday the 5th, was also a good night at Club Red again, with the boys from Sweden Vains of Jenna. This Guns and Roses meets Aerosmith band, shows us they know how too rock west of the Baltic Sea. VAINS of JENNA formed in the small town of Falkenberg, SWEDEN in January 2005. Lead Vocalist Lizzy DeVine and bassist JP White had talked the previous summer about putting together a new band. Both had eyed a teenage guitarist named Nicki Kin as the final piece to the lineup along with his classmate drummer Jacki Stone.

During the spring of 2005, VAINS of JENNA was offered a chance to play the world-famous “Whisky-A-GoGo” in Hollywood. They stunned the crowd with their raw energy, young bravado, and sleazy throwback appeal. Four days later, the band was cutting tracks with Gilby Clarke (ex-Guns N’ Roses guitarist) at his Redrum Studios. In spring of 2006 VOJ toured Southern Europe and spent one month in the U.K. winning over critics and fans by night while playing gigs and sleeping in their silver Volvo station wagon in an alley by day. The band was back in Hollywood in the summer of 2006 and attracted the attention of skateboarding legend Bam Margera (MTV’s Viva La Bam/

Jackass) who signed the band on the spot to his label (Filthy Note Records) & released “Lit Up-Let Down” (October 2006)

their first release, a four song EP entitled Beautiful in Red EP, featuring songs from the upcoming full length CD expected out in late 2009. The EP is now available on iTunes and Amazon.com. If you love metal this is the band to see. If you would like to help these guys out, please go to their MySpace page at www.myspace.com/ evolutionofthekillmusic

Home for less than 3 weeks the band was back playing Theatres on the “Viva La Bands” fall 2007 US tour with Cradle of Filth and G.W.A.R. This in support of their new single “Enemy in Me” which was featured on the “Viva La Bands – II” soundtrack released that fall (Ferret Music), and appeared on “Jackass 24” (MTV) & “LA INK” (Kat Von D). They are now back in the US and about to release their follow up CD “The Art of Telling Lies” Ladies; these guys are good looking, in style, and true rockstars. They have made me a believer, that Rock N’ Roll is VERY much alive!

Local act Suite 88 opened up for V of J. This band is a hot young hard rock band composed of four members—all born in ‘88. Clearly influenced by bands from the heyday of classic rock and heavy metal, this young quartet reminds us of what rock ‘n’ roll is supposed to be. Lead vocalist Mike Gunns’ on-stage presence and innuendo-laden lyrics give the band their edge up front, while the searing lead guitar of Kolton Lee perfectly compliments a tight rhythm section. Newest member Vick Bourne’s bass playing controls the bottom end with melodic sensibility, and drummer Jesse Clutch pounds out a solid backbeat, giving this band a powerful sound that is impossible to ignore. The boys truly embody the raucous, rebellious spirit of rock & roll that we’ve been missing for so long—there is simply nothing else like Suite 88 around. AZWeeklyMagazine.com

The sophomore jinx is always a danger for any band that has more than one or several hits on their debut album. For most bands, they are not able to recapture the radio play, chart position or the “magic” of their debut. The same can be said of Jet’s follow up ‘Shine to their debut album ‘Get Born’. E R E COn’ N OR Z O However, with D their 3rd album, Jet seems to K C have jumped right back into the groove that brought them attention on their first outing along with some newer sounds thrown in for good measure.

garnering them guaranteed radio play. Other standout tracks include “Black Hearts (On Fire)”, “Seventeen” (no, not the 80’s tune from Winger – the band Beavis & Butthead loved to hate) and “Times Like This.” The album is definitely worth the price of admission as well as repeated listening. As the album progresses, more of their influences show. There is a definite overall 70’s vibe throughout that lends itself to making this more of an eclectic affair of modern and yesteryear fusing into something fresh without being dated. Strong melodies throughout and good songwriting overall. You would be missing out by not purchasing this one. – Stephen Wilkinson Rockzone Records, 2155 E.

Have you or someone you know been diagnosed with breast cancer? If so, here’s some good news... The Arizona Institute for Breast Health provides a 2nd opinion for treatment options to women who have been recently diagnosed with breast cancer – COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE. Each 2nd opinion is provided through a multi-disciplinary panel of breast cancer specialists and each patient is supported and lovingly guided by a patient advocate, a breast cancer survivor herself. You can help support AIBH by sponsoring Pink Honor Lights through The Pink Light District. These pink lights will glow throughout October on the Canal Bridge in downtown Scottsdale in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To sponsor your Pink Honor Lights, visit www.ThePinkLightDistrict.org

For more information about becoming a patient, please visit www.AIBH.org or call 480-860-4200.
