EDITOR’S NOTE

A NEW TUNE

We’ve got a full-throated concert of stories in this edition of Boise Weekly, many of them musical. BW contributor Jaclyn Brandt starts us off on pages 6-7 with a visit to Boise Rock School, which has given thousands of kids a chance to learn and play some great music for the past decade. In Jaclyn’s story, we also learn that the school is about to launch a capital campaign to buy a permanent building where it will operate an all-ages music venue. “We recognize that one of the biggest puzzle pieces missing in Boise is the lack of an all-ages venue that is largely driven by other kids,” co-founder Ryan Peck told BW. Up next on page 8, I’ll share a conversation with bestselling author Roger McNamee. A Silicon Valley investor for decades, McNamee was a mentor to Mark Zuckerberg. But McNamee, who will be a guest speaker at this week’s Sun Valley Wellness Festival, lowers the boom on the Facebook founder in his new book, Zucked. We may not recognize how dangerous this has become, but it affects us all,” McNamee told us. BW music guru Ben Schultz takes a deep dive into some of the best local albums of the year (so far), featuring local musicians. Check that out on page 9. BW contributor Hayden Seder takes us along on a visit to Boise Art Museum on page 10, where she previews a new exhibit from Idaho-based artist Stephanie Wilde, known for her lavish, intricate works addressing global contemporary issues and social concerns. Pages 13 through 16 is our guide to all of the fabulous new films coming to The Flicks this summer. And I’ll be back on page 11 to preview one of those movies, Pavarotti, of which I can only say, “Bravissimo.” —George Prentice, Editor

BOISE ROCK SCHOOL’S NEXT OPUS

“We are going to be doing a capital campaign to buy a building and have a permanent, all-ages space.” JACLYN BRANDT COURTESY BOISE ROCK SC HOOL

The founders of Boise Rock School picked up instruments for the ﬁrst time in their teens and 20s. Now, they’re putting instruments in the hands of children as young as 6.

In 2013, 6-year-old Andi decided she wanted to learn to play the drums. “Andi wanted to play the guitar. She decided she wanted to play the guitar and I was like, ‘Hey, go for it,’” said her mom, Robin Coley-Nickels. “She’s super shy, she’s super introverted, so I thought this would be a great opportunity for her.” Boise Rock School was bringing music clinics to the kids in the juvenile detention program, where Coley-Nickels works. “And we came here and then she decided she wanted to learn the drums,” Coley-Nickels added. “And so we came here just to try it out and she did drum class and she was put in a band.” The Ferocious Donuts, comprising two girls and two boys, practices every week and performs all over Boise. Andi has been with the band since she started at Boise Rock School. Andi is just one of thousands of kids who 6 | JUNE 26 – JULY 2, 2019 | BOISEWEEKLY

have had a chance to learn to play music and be a part of a team since Boise Rock School opened 10 years ago. The idea came from friends Ryan Peck and Jared Goodpaster. “I went on a run, and I got back, and I was like, “Hey we should do this,” not really knowing what it would look like, but just knowing that we wanted to do something that oﬀered a diﬀerent type of musical education experience,” Peck said. “And that was going to be band based; that was important to us. Because we were both educators, we wanted it to be from that perspective.” Ryan Peck has been an adjunct instructor in anatomy and physiology at Boise State University for more than a decade, and Jared Goodpaster had been teaching at high schools around the area. He had just received his Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction and was student teaching—and both he and Peck were musicians who regularly played around town.

“I was thinking about my experience growing up and not starting playing music until I was older. I didn’t start playing guitar until I was 18 or 19. I just never really had access to a lot of equipment,” Peck said. “I played guitar and did piano lessons but I really didn’t have access to this... being able to form a band seemed like such a foreign thought to me. So on one hand, I was trying to address something from my own childhood and make that better. So I called Jared and said, ‘Hey, we should do this.’” Goodpaster had a similar experience. He didn’t learn to play music until he was in college. That was an important motivation to how Boise Rock School formed its curriculum. “I am self-taught on guitar, but there were certain things that just became really clear to me. Like ‘Man, if there was some way we could translate that to kids, they could start learning a lot quicker,’” Goodpaster said. “There was

just no regular program for kids to learn how to play contemporary music. So he called me one day and goes, ‘What if we took a bunch of our friends that are parents and took their kids and had them do a camp for a week and see if we can get them to play a gig.’” In that first camp, they wanted to see if they could take kids who were complete beginners and form a band within two weeks. At the end of that first camp they put on a concert, and found out the format actually worked. Goodpaster had been teaching at Koelsch Elementary School, and the principal allowed them to use the school for their first camp. That first camp included just five kids, and none of them had played music before that week. And then it expanded from there into an after-school program. Foothills Private School loaned them a classroom after hours, and the school quickly expanded from five students to 15. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

“We’re learning to navigate the pitfalls of different personalities and different ages, different skill levels, all those things,” Peck said. “So we got to that, and then we did a gig for the Special Olympics that year in 2009. So we did it and the kids were great. It was a learning experience, but ultimately it was really awesome. [We] folded that into a few more kids and then that summer, 2009, we rolled it into a couple more camps.” Over the next few years, they held classes at Koelsch, Foothills School and a Methodist Church in the North End. After about

And you’re failing at it. But through persistence and resilience, you eventually get to a spot where you sound OK. That success, that lesson you just had, that ‘fail, fail, fail, succeed’ thing, that same resilience is what will create entrepreneurship, and is what builds really resilient people. So there’s a value there.” Every 12 weeks the school puts on a big concert where all their bands play, which Peck and Goodpaster feel is a critical piece of the puzzle “because the kids are now learning this ‘fail, fail, fail, succeed’ thing in front of people,” Peck said.

Giraﬀe Laugh Preschool. They also do programming a few times a year with the Treasure Valley YMCA, Stanley Idaho School, all Boise Libraries, Caldwell Library, Meridian Library, TrICA, Agri-Beef and Stanley Idaho School. “We see probably 40 to 60 kids weekly for our outreach,” Peck said, adding that their after-school program serves around 400 students each week. The school also does a free camp each summer, where they try to target kids who may not have a chance to attend otherwise, including many in underprivileged communities.

Boise Rock School is changing and growing. It is looking to create an all-ages venue in town, and to do that they are forming a non-proﬁt organization. “We are going to be doing a capital campaign to raise some money to buy a permanent building and have a permanent all-ages space,” Peck said. “We recognize that one of the biggest puzzle pieces missing in Boise is the lack of an all-ages venue that is largely driven by other kids (kids being 13- to 24-year-olds).” “And that’s an economic question for us,” he added. “We talked about this, thinking about

five years of holding classes in different places around town, they found their current location at 14th and Idaho streets in Boise. The official mission of Boise Rock School is to teach kids to play music, but according to Peck, it’s more than just that. “Our mission is bands,” Peck added. “That’s like the be-all, end-all rule for us. We really think the value of kids playing in bands can’t be replicated. So we work hard to push kids to that programming.” The band experience teaches students to creatively express themselves in front of a group of people, and that instills values like communication, compromise and respecting a teammate’s opinion, even if they don’t agree. “The other is this idea of this ‘fail, fail, fail, succeed’ experience. So when kids start to play music, and when I say kids I’m referring to when anyone starts to play music, it’s hard,” Peck said. “There’s a learning curve, and it’s a struggle, and you’re like ‘Oh man, I’m trying to play guitar and my fingers hurt, I sound terrible, what am I doing, I should not do this.’ BOISE WEEKLY.COM

“The first year we did a free camp, we had The five kids at Boise Rock School’s first clinthis group, they were these Nepalese refugees ic are now in their 20s, and some of those first students now teach at the school.

the ‘fail, fail, fail, succeed’ experience that musicians and bands have. What better way to build a generation of great entrepreneurs that can help make the local economy a little more robust and increase the strength of the economic ecosystem of Boise? So that’s the big picture. And then I think we’ll start to expand our class offerings to include other digital media arts, other important pieces of the puzzle. Writing and recording, graphic design, filmmaking.” Boise Rock School started as an idea to bring music and teamwork to a small group of people, but has since grown across the city. There are thousands of individual stories, and kids who are taking the skills they have learned and using them in the rest of their lives. As for Andi, she’s 12 now, and still plays with the Ferocious Donuts. “She’s completely different,” Coley-Nickels said. “She is starting junior high next year and she’s going to be in theater. Which she would never have been in theater, not ever. And she still plays the drums, she loves it. She’s still shy, but she’s definitely got that performer in her.” BOISEWEEKLY | JUNE 26 – JULY 2, 2019 | 7

You know Mark Zuckerberg as well as anyone. Is he afraid of changing the Facebook model because he’s afraid of Facebook losing value? In the beginning, Mark genuinely believed that his vision of connecting everyone in the world on one network was so important. It justiﬁed any action necessary to get there. And the stock market rewarded him. I think now, under a lot of pressure, Mark is doing one positive thing: engaging in the political dialogue. But he’s trying to cede as little as possible. Take, for example, the Nancy Pelosi video and Facebook’s decision to leave that up. [Earlier this month, a manipulated video of Speaker of the House Pelosi slurred her speech, making her appear drunk. Facebook refused to remove the video]. Facebook’s argument against removing the video was that it saw it as free speech. I understand that’s their argument, but it’s demonstrably false. Everybody’s Facebook newsfeed has been massaged by editorial choices made by Facebook, and at some point, they have to step forward and recognize that they have a responsibility to society. Some things are so obviously wrong that they have to take action. They can create this data voodoo doll of each and every one of us, and they use that to manipulate the choices in our lives. We may not recognize how dangerous this has become, but it aﬀects us all. BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Something of an overachiever, he set himself a challenge for this year: To write, record, mix and release a full album from scratch every month. So far, Grubb has met this challenge. The tracks aren’t always fully realized, but his catchy tunes and hooks never fail him. The best of the bunch might be this March release, where Grubb drew inspiration from goofy, fan-provided titles like “Cellulite Phones” and “Fork It, I’m Out of Spoons.”

This punky duo packs more power into ﬁve songs than other rock groups muster over whole careers. Ryan Hondo’s howls and manic guitar are matched in Angela Heileson’s snarling yelps and nimble, hard-hitting drums.

THE HAND, DAD (SELF-RELEASED) Except for the Dirt Russell EP, no local release in 2019 (so far) rocks as hard as this power trio’s sophomore LP. Frontman Scott Schmaljohn (State of Confusion, Treepeople) bellows and ﬁres oﬀ guitar solos like grunge never died.

On this follow-up, he delivers on the promise he showed. Whether he’s depicting love gone wrong, the travails of a touring musician or the exploits of his notorious ancestor Black Jack Ketchum, he comes up with fresh insights.

Between the heavy riﬃng of “Rebirth” and “So It Goes,” the creep of “Presentation” and the surge of “P-Word” and “The Zephyr,” Soran et al sound as if they really could chase down the sun.

Said notes start with a description of the original Athenians—“the inventors of democracy, which they practiced more vigorously than any modern democracy”— before praising their modern descendants, who “wish for true democracy, for acceptance and respect for all peoples.” Cynics might ﬁnd this high-minded, but it’s hard to deny the music’s eloquence.

‘THE HUMANITIES MAKE US HUMAN’ Stephanie Wilde at BAM HAYDEN SEDER

Payette Brewing has released some of Boise’s go-to river beers.

BAR HOPPER: PAYETTE BREWING Home state homage: Idaho is built into this brewery from the ground up, starting with an iconic namesake—the Payette River, which originates in the Sawtooth mountains at the center of the state. The river is well-known for its world-class recreation, and if you’re out running the river, you should probably have a few cans of Payette brew with you. The aptly named North Fork and Fly Line Lagers just beg to be go-to river beers. Payette Forward: Payette Brewing is all about involvement with the community. Every Monday it hosts a Kegs 4 Kause event, and half of the proceeds in the tap room are donated to a rotating non-profit. The brewery also makes a special beer every fall, the Payette Forward IPA, the sales of which are donated to a selected Idaho non-profit. In addition, Payette adopted the Polecat Loop trail in the Foothills to maintain and clean up for the local bikers, hikers and trail enthusiasts. Drink, play, drink some more: Payette has one of the largest taprooms in town, and adds to that with an extensive outdoor area. Cornhole, giant Connect Four, pool, darts, weekly movie screenings and rotating food trucks ensure that there is always something to do (although isn’t drinking a beer enough?). There is also the added perk of being located on the Greenbelt, so a walk, run or bike ride can start and end right at the front door. What’s the happiest hour? Take $1 off beers Monday-Friday from 5:30 to 6:30 and all day on Wednesday. Sundays also feature bottomless mimosas and $10 pitchers. Where to Find It: Payette Brewing is located at 733 S. Pioneer St. in Boise. —Micah Drew 10 | JUNE 26 – JULY 2, 2019 | BOISEWEEKLY

Gandhi said, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” For artist Stephanie Wilde, this means addressing social issues through the many works and exhibitions she has created over the four decades her career has spanned. From addressing the AIDS crisis to the disappearance of the honeybee to slavery, Wilde’s work confronts audiences with tough subjects in an effort to create more understanding and compassion toward these issues and be open to solutions. From Saturday, June 29, through Sunday, Oct. 13, the Boise Art Museum will exhibit a retrospective of Wilde’s career. “Stephanie has made powerful artwork throughout her and has had a significant impact on Boise’s artistic community,” said Melanie Fales, executive director/CEO for the Boise Art Museum, on why it chose to showcase the artist. “We wanted to take the opportunity to shine a light on her artistic investigations in one exhibition as a means to illustrate the progression of her career and the way each series built upon, or was influenced by, the last.” The work shown will start with work from 1983 up to the present, all of it political. For all of her series, Wilde undertakes in-depth research, learning as much about each topic from scientific, historical and literary sources. One of her most recent projects is the Golden Bee project, which addresses the disappearance of the honeybee, an issue that has gained attention globally. She began the project in 2008 and spent seven years working on it. Before starting the project, she had been showing her work on AIDS at the Fresno Art Museum. An article came out in The New York Times about the similarities between AIDS and what is mysteriously killing off bees sparked the idea for Wilde. “I started that project and everyone became really aware of how important the bees are,” Wilde said. “These are tough subjects that we really need to address or at least be aware of, be compassionate about and be open to solutions.” The retrospective at BAM will have each series delineated with text describing her pursuit of a particular topic including subjects like AIDS, climate change, corporate greed and social polarization. Of drawing it all to-

gether, Wilde said, “It’s been a little walk down memory lane for me. It’s a real joy to think that so many things have been in crates and have not been seen. To bring them out and have them all together has been interesting because you see your life in front of you.” Wilde still has plenty left ahead of her. In addition to dedicating several hours a day to her art work, Wilde is also the owner of Stewart Gallery in Boise which she co-owns with her husband. Many have asked her how it’s possible for her to ﬁnd time for her own projects and for operating a working gallery, a question that puzzles her, since many people who work two jobs are rarely asked if they have time to dedicate to creative endeavors. “The gallery has been very good for me as an artist,” Wilde said. “It has opened my eyes to what the dealers do for artists, and the importance of having exhibitions and a dealer.” Wilde was also quick to point out that she works in her studio every day but Sundays, starting work right after dinner and working into the small hours of the morning. “People ask when

I find the time to do all this work,” Wilde said. “I’m at the gallery but also I’m very dedicated to my work so I’m not social, I’m not going out, and I know what I need to do so I have plenty of time to work in the studio. I’m very committed and have been for a very long time.” That dedication has paid off, not only in seeing her career in retrospective or her recognition for work with the gallery but in awards and accolades earned over the year. Wilde received an Artist in Residency at Djerassi Resident Artists Program in Woodside, California, in 2017; and a 2015 Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant in New York for painting. In 2002, she was awarded the Idaho Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts and, in 1999, a Boise Mayor’s Award for Artistic Excellence. As new issues arise in society, Wilde will be there, addressing it through the platform of art, creating a new lens for peering out at the world. “Art is so important,” Wilde said. “It’s very important to the human existence, it’s not just to fill space. The humanities make us human and if we don’t have them, we’re in trouble.” BOISE WEEKLY.COM

PAVAROTTI: ADORO QUESTO CINE FILM Opens Friday, June 28, at The Flicks GEORGE PRENTICE I had a good cry at the cinema the other day—a good proper cry—for a genuine thrill. My eyes watered up about halfway through Pavarotti, an unexpectedly splendid documentary. Like millions of others, I had indeed heard Luciano Pavarotti sing “Nessun dorma” many times before, and had seen his 1990 performance of the Puccini classic, alongside fellow tenors Jose Carreras and Placido Domingo on the PBS broadcast of The Three Tenors concert on numerous occasions. But seeing and hearing Pavarotti’s largesse (in body and voice) fill a cinema with that spine-tingling moment is something I will not soon forget. Indeed, “Nessun dorma” is only one in a series of emotional thrills in Pavarotti, directed by Oscar-winner Ron Howard (Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind). Pavarotti comes on the heels Howard’s other fine doc, The Beatles: Eight Days a Week. With never-before-seen footage of the legendary tenor and a gorgeous Dolby Atmos soundtrack, Howard’s new film is one of the big surprises of the summer of 2019 and true kin to last summer’s family of wonderful bio-docs (Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, RBG).

Luciano Pavarotti sold more than 100 million records and performed before an estimated 10 million people.

From Pavarotti’s 1961 debut in Puccini’s La Boheme in his hometown of Modena, Italy (where he was once an elementary school teacher), to his star-making 1963 performance in London’s Covent Garden (again, La Boheme) to his now-legendary 1972 performance at the Metropolitan Opera in Donizetti’s La Fille du Regiment (nine, count-em, nine High C’s), Pavarotti is more of a celebration than a ﬁlm. The pleasures are unending. Rest assured: Pavarotti is not a mere greatest hits collection. It’s a treasure-trove of surprises. his unique friendship with Princess Diana, his professional insecurities (Pavarotti would pace backstage, muttering, “We go to die.”), his destructive inﬁdelities, plus a wink

STARTS FRIDAY JUNE 28

and a nod to his jaw-dropping eating habits. “I order two pastas, and beans, two chickens and four scoops of ice cream,” he said. “I eat three scoops of the ice cream and push away the fourth scoop. That’s how I think I lose weight.” Pavarotti would ultimately sell 100 million albums and perform live to more than 10 million people in every corner of the planet. Pavarotti the film reminds us why he was the most famous singer of any genre in his time. At the film’s end, Pavarotti unleashes an encore of “Nessun dorma.” Suffice to say, I needed a moment. I took a deep breath, wiped away another tear and left the cinema to tell anyone I knew not to miss this film.

SCREEN EXTRA THE FLICKS TO HOST BORDER DOC AND TALK

BOISE WEEKLY.COM

Throughout his travels along the Rio Grande, DeAndrade captures the voices of the people who live there, like immigrants, environmentalists and members of communities along the border. Audiences will see the spectacle of that inhospitable terrain while hearing about public lands, human rights, threatened species and racism. The purpose of the screening, Evans said, is to dig deeper than the talking points and sound bites surrounding the white-hot issue. “You need to

deepen your understanding so your opinions are reﬂective of the realities,” she said. The event kicks off at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12, $10 for students and seniors. —Harrison Berry

Three years ago, Filipe DeAndrade was a rookie ﬁlmmaker, fresh off winning the Wild to Inspire short ﬁlm competition at the Sun Valley Film Festival. At this year’s festival, he was an artist who had come into his own, having recently cut a doc for Nat Geo Wild, and teased another about the Rio Grande Valley—ground zero for the debate over immigration. “Nobody was talking about the impact of a border wall on the wildlife and the culture of that area,” DeAndrade said at SVFF. “So, for three months we traveled the Rio Grande. We traveled

every mile of the Rio Grande, by mountain bike, by horseback or by canoe.” That documentary, The River and The Wall, will screen at The Flicks on Thursday, June 27, with an accompanying discussion led by Dr. Jill Gill of Boise State University about the historical and social stakes of the plan to construct a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. “There’s this history that Jill can elucidate, but there are all these other issues,” said Adrienne Evans of United Vision for Idaho, which is presenting the screening, about the conﬂuence of ideas invoked by the ﬁlm. “We don’t live one-dimensional lives.”

Tunguska no more

INTERNATIONAL ASTEROID DAY When asteroids collide with planets, the results are catastrophic—it’s speculated that an asteroid just a few kilometers across could release the energy of millions of nuclear weapons should it strike the Earth—but some scientists and industrialists see them as sources of water and valuable metals. On Saturday, June 29, these celestial icons of existential terror and boundless wealth will get their due on International Asteroid Day, held at the Idaho Museum of Mining and Geology. Thrown close to the anniversary of the Tunguska Event, International Asteroid Day celebrates asteroids and warns of the peril they pose, and the museum will give visitors a chance to handle pieces of asteroids, meteorite specimens from as far away as Mars and play games to win prizes.

IDAHO SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL’S THE MUSIC MAN When they think of The Music Man, most people probably think of the 1962 ﬁlm starring Robert Preston as con man Harold Hill and Shirley Jones as librarian Marian Paroo; but the musical was a Broadway hit long before it was a movie. This season, Idaho Shakespeare Festival will stage its own production. In it, traveling con man Harold (Alex Syiek), who arrives in an Iowa burg, where he hopes to collect money to form a boys’ band and skip town. He fails to account for Marian the librarian, who has suspected him since his arrival. Catch earwig numbers like “(Ya Got) Trouble,” “Seventy-Six Trombones” and “Shipoopi,” and marvel at a big, brassy musical that only the Idaho Shakespeare Festival can stage starting Friday, June 28. 8 p.m. Sundays at 7 p.m. $22-$30.

CALENDAR EXTRA DANCING THE NIGHT AWAY WITH SALSA AT SOLID Salsa dancing often seems tantalizingly out of reach for some people, but on Wednesdays at Solid Bar and Grill, anyone can step onto the dance floor and feel the thrill of the dance. “Salsa is great since it is such a social dance. It involves community and we have a beautiful community—a really warm and loving community that accepts everybody. A A salsa dance class at Liquid is taking the fear out lot of times, of learning Latin dance. people have a fear of going out dancing and taking the first steps and not looking very good. The great thing about dancing here is our community. The people are so friendly, they will help you through every single step,” said Tabish Romario, who organizes the event, Salsa at Solid. Romario hosts a beginner-friendly salsa class, which sometimes slips into instruction in bachata, another type of Latin dance. The $5 cost to get in is well worth it. Beginner lessons are offered for would-be dancers who know only a few steps or none at all. The lessons start at 8:30 p.m. and basic steps are taught, setting anyone up to follow along to the beat. On a normal night, anywhere between 25 and 50 people attend, and by the end of the evening, the dances have taken on a life of their own as the dancers put unique spins on the movements. Romario and his wife Lori Ebinger, a husband-and-wife team, run Idaho DanceSport, a studio where they teach ballroom dance, Latin dance, and swing. Romario has danced since he was nine years old and has been salsa dancing since he was 15. Lori has been dancing since she was three. Together, they started Salsa nights nine years ago and moved into Solid five years ago, having committed to their love for dance and teaching with dedication. Their efforts have been rewarded, and Latin dancing has become extremely popular since they first started the class in Boise. “Dance, especially Latin dance, has been growing like wildfire in Boise,” Romario said. Before he had a dance studio of his own, Romario taught dance on sidewalks and on the landing stairs at the Boise State University Student Union Building and in his kitchen. Now, he has a committed group of dancers, and new people show up every week. His more advanced students travel to competitions in San Francisco, Seattle and New York. “It has not just grown in terms of numbers, but in passion. People have a true passion for dancing,” said Romario. Ana Novak is a regular. For the last two and a half years, Novak has attended the dance nights at Solid, and said dancing has given her tremendous confidence. “I’m not the best dancer on the floor. Not by a long shot,” she said. “But I’ve come along ways since I started and that feels really good.” —Devon Burleigh

ALIVE AFTER FIVE: HAMISH ANDERSON THE GROVE PLAZA, JULY 3

Hamish Anderson’s latest album, Out of My Head (2019) exudes the rasp of the late Tom Petty and the guitar prowess of phenoms like B.B. King. That should come as no surprise, since Anderson was the last performer to open for King on tour before his death in 2015. The album pours on robust guitar riffs in songs like “No Good” and “World’s Gone Mad,” yet plucks the listener into calm suspension in other songs like “Happy Again” and “Damaged Goods.” He’ll take the Alive After Five stage on Wednesday, July 3, with the perfect pairing: Idaho-based Lee Penn Sky & The Oliphants. Sky may be a clone of Jeff Bridges because their voices are almost indistinguishable, but his voice is what determines the mood of any song he performs. —Anna Felix With Lee Penn Sky & The Oliphants. 5 p.m. FREE. Grove Plaza, downtown Boise, downtownboise.org.

Hell yawns. Dark metal pioneers knew this intimately, and some of the most memorable metal albums of all time play like black paint dripping off the Addams Family mansion. Count among those entries Full Upon Her Burning Lips (2019), the latest from Olympia, Washington-based Earth, which will play at Neurolux on Saturday, June 29. Guitarist and sole remaining original member Dylan Carlson lets every note languish, his strings releasing sound into a cold and unfeeling universe broken only by the beats of Adrienne Davies’ drums. Founded in 1989, Earth got its call sign from a discarded early name for Black Sabbath. It got much of its sound from there, too, from the drop-D guitar work to the molasses-in-January percussion, though it’s widely credited with cutting early tracks in the drone metal genre.

$GYLFH IRU WKRVH RQ WKH YHUJH #NOTMETOO DEAR MINERVA, I have been dwelling on my thoughts about the #MeToo movement for awhile. I get some of it. However, I see a lot of women posting screenshots on social media after men message them come-ons or dirty pics. I think it’s tacky to post these kinds of things and I don’t understand why they are offended. I love getting messages like that. They make me feel like I am pretty and appealing. I have tried to share my feelings about it but then I get attacked and told that I am ignorant. I just don’t get the big deal. Am I wrong? —Sincerely, #NotMeToo

DEAR #NOT, I appreciate your perspective. I haven’t heard many people sharing this point of view. It is noticeably absent from the conversation and for good reason. You see, the #MeToo movement is not about people who consent to sexually explicit messages. The #MeToo movement is about sharing and exposing people’s personal experiences of being sexually harassed and assaulted. If you enjoy the unsolicited, explicit pictures and messages, there is nothing wrong with that. You consent to that in your own way. You may feel empowered by that, and girl, I get it. I have personally never been offended by it either. However, you must realize that many people feel threatened my such things. Unwelcome sexual advances are a serious issue and we must make space for people who feel violated and encourage everyone to approach such things with consent as their foremost thought. Enjoy your messages and respect that some people are hurt by the same. SUBMIT questions to Minerva’s Breakdown at bit.ly/AskMinerva or mail them to Boise Weekly, 523 Broad St., Boise, ID 83702. All submissions remain anonymous. Illustration of Minerva by Adam Rosenlund.

FEELGOODZ SANDALS

HARRISON BERRY

Your Cat Friendly Practice! Preferred by cats!

PAGE BREAK There are two theories about flip-flops. The first is that they’re informal footwear to be worn exclusively in public showers or within 300 feet of a standing body of water. The second is that it’s a free country, and people should be able to wear whatever they want. Adherents to either theory, however, know that there are times when only a pair of flip-flops will do, and for those times, there are Feelgoodz. The Feelgoodz story starts with eco-friendly materials and a few stitches of social consciousness. Every pair is ethically sourced, using natural 5L rubber, fabric woven by hand at one of its Guatemalan or Vietnamese cooperatives, or vegan leather. They’re stylish, but don’t pretend to be something they’re not, and are our best bet for braving the hot beach sands of summer. —Harrison Berry $15-$50. Feelgoodz.com, Boise Co-op

10 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT JULY 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Boise’s hottest July was in 2003, when there were nine straight days of 100 degrees-plus. Boise’s hottest day was 111 degrees on July 20, 1931, and again on July 19, 1960. July was named for Julius Caesar, it being the month of his birth. July’s birthstone is the ruby, second only to a diamond in hardness. While July is mid-summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is mid-winter in the Southern Hemisphere. July’s flower is the water lily, symbolizing joyfulness and sweetness. The Zodiac signs of July include Cancer (until July 21) and Leo (July 22nd onward). Special holiday include the Fourth of July, Canada Day (July 1) and Bastille Day (July 14). The exact halfway point of the year is July 3. No other month ends on the same day as July.
