SOUNDS

BEAUTIFUL THUNDER

BRITISH SEA POWER – Let the Dancers Inherit the Party THE GOOD: British indie rockers British Sea Power come back with a tighter sixth.

THE BAD: Sequencing? Most of the extended atmospheric stuff happens across the album’s second half resulting in a little lost momentum.

THE NITTY GRITTY: But Yan, Noble, Hamilton and the entire BSP crew are giving us what could be their best collection of songs since 2005’s sophomore effort “Open Season.” Tracks like “International Space Station” and “The Voice of Ivy Lee” blur the lines between

quaint intelligent indie pop and bombastic stadium rock; the melodies fetching, the arrangements full-bodied.

Those craving the more reserved face of the band will find it on moody fog-drenched pieces such as “Electrical Kittens” and “Praise for Whatever.” Then, of course, there are all those wonderful (and very English) lyrical references to obscure historical events, current politics and the darker facets of everyday living. As is usually the case, we end up with music that’s extremely fascinating on multiple levels.

BUY IT?: Yes.

MEW – Visuals THE GOOD: Danish indie rock trio (longtime guitarist Bo Madsen has left the building) gives us a direct concise seventh.

THE BAD: Those hoping for a few extended “progressive cuts” (the band usually goes for one or two per record) won’t find them this time out.

THE NITTY GRITTY: On the self-produced “Visu-

als,” Mew decided to put their “pop” chops front and center. That doesn’t make this a disposable or one-dimensional record though. We still get melodies and overall arrangements that soar high above the clouds, multi-layered harmonies and a wall of sound built upon guitar lines and keyboard swirls meshing gracefully. Standard Mew stuff.

Only this time, frontman Jonas Bjerre and company set all these elements across songs that never lose focus or go off on indulgent tangents. Tracks like fragile opener “Nothingness and No Regrets” or the melodic (and only slightly thunderous) “In a Better Place” wash over our senses with the perfect balance of elegance and volume. After all, Mew remains a rock band.

BUY IT?: I would.

KASABIAN – For Crying Out Loud THE GOOD: British indie rockers Kasabian stick to a well-worn formula on their sixth.

THE BAD: “Crying” is predictable but still enjoyable.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Some

bands simply create solid collections that never quite fit in with current trends or blaze bold new trails. Kasabian is one such act.

Since the mid-2000s, lead vocalist Tom Meighan and guitarist/producer/composer Sergio Pizzzorno have been churning out danceable rock anthems harkening back to the beat-driven ’90s while moving steadily forward without jumping on any one particular bandwagon.

“Crying” is their latest set which finds the band sounding rejuvenated. Whether it’s the seamless punchy groove of “You’re in Love with a Psycho” or the cloudy dramatics slathered all over “The Party Never Ends,” the guys smack us full on with embraceable melodies riding airtight arrangements. The dance floor clatter of “Are You Looking for Action” would fit next to some animated jam by the Rapture. The epic sway of “Put Your Life on It” ends the album on a resonating high note.

BUY IT?: Why not?

Paradise lost and found Members of Fallen From eden find success in comeback

Sometimes, bands find success and thrive in the music industry. Other times, success cripples creativity and causes a rift between musicians.

For the founding members of Falling From Eden, prior success caused them to stay grounded in their current goals: to play music and enjoy the ride.

About a decade ago, Jay Green, Tom Godin and Brian McDonald formed a group called Absolution, which garned a decent following and allowed the trio to travel the country in hopes of obtaining a record deal.

“The band eventually separated for a few different reasons,” Godin explained. “It was a tough time for most of us and some of us didn’t really talk for a long time. After a few years, the three of us decided to start jamming again with the goal of just having fun with it and not really pushing for a career like we did in the past.

Everything felt more natural and it was fun again.”

With Godin playing guitar, Green on guitar and vocals, McDonald on bass and newcomer Jordan Cross on drums, the group continued to jam and enjoy their time playing music. From the ashes of Absolution, Falling From Eden was born.

Q: Where did your band name come from?

Tom Godin: We kicked a few ideas around but nothing really stuck. For some reason I thought the word Eden was cool, more so for literal definition not necessarily religious context. Jay came up with Falling From Eden and we all really liked it. A lot of the lyrical content can be tied back to a theme of losing something or falling from a place of beauty, so it kind of fits with everything.

Q: How did you each get involved in music?

TG: Since I was a toddler, my dad had a drum set in the house that he just messed around with ... I feel like it was always a part of my life. When I was in high school, I was really shy about doing things in front of people and a couple of these kids found out I played drums and asked me to jam with them. I was so nervous, I wouldn’t even look up at anybody while I played. I was probably 13 or 14 at the time. From that moment until I was about 26, music was the only thing I ever wanted to do with my life and I learned everything I could about how to make a successful career out of it. Eventually my priorities evolved as I got older, and I took a step back and just made it more of an outlet or hobby for me, which I am now content with.

Q: What do you remember about the first time you performed in public together?

TG: In this band, being really nervous about my first time

Q: What are some of your favorite memories as a part of this band?

JG: Our first show. The nerves, the jitters, the years of missing that feeling of being on stage and performing in front of a crowd and rocking out together and having fun. Also, making new memories together, making new friends, gaining new fans and having our music be heard — to see where our music takes us.

Jay Green, Tom Godin, Brian McDonald and Jordan Cross created Falling from Eden in order to create music in a fun and laid-back environment.

playing guitar on stage. The nerves started to wear off after a few songs, and I was just happy that the crowd seemed to enjoy what we were doing.

Q: Do you write your own music or do you perform covers?

What is the process like for writing your music and choosing the songs you cover?

Jay Green: A mixture of both. We usually write collectively together. Myself or Tom may come into practice with a guitar riff that either of us were jamming or working on or just came up with spontaneously on the spot and then the song is built from there.

Or it may be a drum beat that Jordan plays, or a bass line that Brian plays that sparks interest and a song is created. We normally choose (cover) songs from bands that we love and follow and that have influenced us as well as playing songs that not many bands would play or attempt to play based on difficulty or popularity.

Q: How have you changed as musicians over the years?

JG: I think we have all grown as musicians over the years. For myself, Tom and Brian, we have challenged ourselves each with our own instruments, and some of us, with other instruments besides our current instrument. Jordan, although still somewhat new to this project, is making great strides and continually learning and making great music on his instrument.

Q: How has the NEPA music scene changed over the years?

All: The NEPA music scene is not the same as it use to be years ago ... People used to go out and support original music or cover bands in NEPA, but it seems that the bars or night clubs or bigger venues have closed, or have been forced to close, causing bands to not have a place to play locally. Some popular local NEPA bands throughout the years have disbanded due to the scene not being what it once was. But, we think that the local NEPA music will make its comeback. We just don’t know when ... But, there are still great places for bands to play in NEPA, that support the local NEPA music scene and bands or artists themselves.

Q: What is the biggest challenge you have faced as a musician?

All: Finding time to practice. Although, we do make up for missed time or days that we can’t practice. Practice only makes yourself — and your band — tighter and better at what you do.

Q: What are your future goals for the band?

TG: Make killer music and have fun.

Q: Do you have anything else you’d like to add that is important for people to know about your band?

All: We are just four guys writing, creating and playing music and doing what we love to do. As a career, as a hobby, or just for fun. We don’t know where this project will take us, but we are excited to see where.

SCREENS

OPENING THIS WEEK

by Richard Roeper

NOW PLAYING

“WONDER WOMAN” HHH1/2

Wonder Woman comes from a place of peace.

Literally.

Gal Gadot is easily the most inspirational and the most heroic and the most “real” Wonder Woman in movie (and television) history.

It’s a fully realized, three-dimensional characterization of an iconic DC Extended Universe character that has never gotten her due — until now.

Gadot’s Diana/Wonder Woman is brilliant but unsophisticated; brave but sometimes reckless; compassionate yet stubborn; idealistic yet capable of deadly force when there’s no other choice; endowed with astounding powers but as yet unsure of how to harness and master all her gifts.

Director Patty Jenkins’ origin story is packed with heart and empathy, and we have Gadot’s endearing performance to thank for that — but it’s also a byproduct of the timeline.

We meet the Amazon princess Diana when she is just a little girl living on the remote (in more ways than one) and beautiful and idyllic island of Themyscira.

Little Diana (and then teenage Diana, and then the young woman Diana) is obsessed with becoming the greatest warrior on the island, much to the chagrin of her mother, Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen).

The queen’s sister, Gen. Antiope (the great Robin Wright, looking a bit uncomfortable in the helmet and the body armor), argues Diana must be prepared for the inevitable day when their peaceful paradise comes under attack. Queen Hippolyta wants to shelter Diana from the outside world for as long as possible — and she makes it clear that Diana mustn’t ever learn the true nature of her origins.

This seems a bit ... unrealistic. After all, there are no men on the island. Also, Diana clearly possesses supernatural skills. (When she crosses those bracelets, THINGS HAPPEN.) Why not just tell Diana what’s what?

Little matter. We know the story isn’t going to stay on the island forever. When the American pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crashes in the waters off Themyscira during World War I, Diana saves his life — but then all hell breaks loose as the Germans storm the beach. Blood is shed, lives are lost, and Diana is exposed to a world she never knew existed.

The early scenes between Gadot and Pine are

20 J u n e 8 , 2 0 1 7

“Wonder Woman” sweet and funny and infused with just the right amount of sexual tension. (When Diana happens upon a naked Steve, takes it all in and asks if this is what the typical man looks like, Steve responds, “Well ... I’m considered above average.”)

Steve tells Diana about the Great War raging out there in the real world. Diana is convinced that Ares, the Greek god of war, is responsible for man turning on his fellow man. If she can find him, she can stop him, and the war will end.

As one might expect, Steve isn’t exactly onboard with the whole Ares thing, but he IS onboard with returning to London with Diana. Let her look for Ares while he tries to convince his military superiors the Germans are developing a deadly chemical weapon that can penetrate gas masks and may result in the deaths of tens of thousands of Allied forces and innocent civilians.

Like many a superhero origin story, where the main character is from another world and now must try to assimilate, we get many a scene where Diana/Wonder Woman is alternately amazed, amused and taken aback by the strange ways of these humans.

And, of course, she’s quite the sight herself.

Let’s be real, that revealing costume would turn heads in 2017 London, let alone a century prior.

Director Jenkins and the team of writers credited with the screenplay and story take us through the paces of developing the villains, including Elena Anaya’s creepy Doctor Poison and Danny Huston’s megalomaniacal Gen. Erich Ludendorff, and introducing us to the obligatory ragtag bunch of antiheroes that Steve rounds up for the mission

e le c tric c ity

to save the world.

Ewen Bremner (from the “Trainspotting” movies) is Charlie, a sharpshooter battling PTSD; Said Taghmaoui is Sameer, a secret agent and master of disguise; Lucy Davis provides comic relief as Etta Candy, Steve’s loyal and true secretary; Eugene Brave Rock is Chief, who takes no sides in the war but clearly is more good guy than mercenary.

Diana is horrified by the realities of war. She’s ever more convinced Ares is responsible for all this carnage, leading to some moments of true dramatic impact, as Steve tells her she needs to wake up and realize not everyone is good and pure of heart, and man is capable of great violence and shocking cruelty. At times “Wonder Woman” plays more like a World War I drama that just happens to include a warrior for justice with incredible powers instead of a superhero origin story — and that’s part of what makes the film so compelling.

When Diana DOES spring into action, “Wonder Woman” rocks. It’s as if we’re learning exactly what she’s capable of at the same time Diana is discovering the depths of her powers.

Chris Pine is perfectly cast as the cocky but noble and quite dashing Steve Trevor. The supporting players, including David Thewlis in a pivotal role best left for you to discover, are all terrific.

Gal Gadot shines in the title role. Diana is sweet and sexy and clever and intense, and she moves with the grace and power of a superhero gymnast (among other skills). Steve and his buddies are suitably amazed at what she can do, but they quickly shift from being shocked to saying without hesitation: I’m with her.

“Baywatch”

“Alien: Covenant” The crew of a colony ship makes a terrifying discovery after landing on what seems to be an uncharted paradise on the far side of the galaxy. With Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, Demian Bichir. Written by John Logan. Directed by Ridley Scott. Rated R. 122 minutes.

— LOS ANGELES TIMES “Baywatch” When you make films from junk TV, more often than not you’re going to wind up with a junk movie. That’s the case for “Baywatch,” a sequence of plot developments even more over the top and ludicrous than the ding-dong-dumb storylines from the cheesy 1990s series. With Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron. Rated R for language throughout, crude sexual content, and graphic nudity. 119 minutes. H1/2.

— LOS ANGELES TIMES “Everything, Everything” An 18-year-old woman, confined to her house in a protected environment because of an illness, forms an attachment to the boy next door and yearns to experience the outside world. With Amandla Stenberg, Nick Robinson, Ana De La Reguera, Anika Noni Rose. Written by J. Mills Goodloe, based on the

book by Nicola Yoon. Directed by Stella Meghie.

Rated PG-13. 96 minutes.

— LOS ANGELES TIMES “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” Like many a sequel to a slam-bang, much-liked mega-hit, the second adventure of the universe-saviors isn't quite as much fun, not quite as clever, not quite as fresh as the original, but it still packs a bright and shiny and sweet punch. Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action and violence, language, and brief suggestive content. 136 minutes. HHH. — RICHARD ROEPER “Going In Style” Three retired steelworkers (Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin)

plot to rob the bank complicit in getting rid of their pensions. Good natured slapstick, but almost infallibly unfunny. With Ann-Margaret. Directed by Zach Braff. Rated PG-13 for drug use, language.

97 mintues. HH. — GARy THOMPSON, THE PHILADELPHIA INquIRER “King Arthur — Legend of the Sword” Director Guy Ritchie spins the King Arthur legend as a superhero origins story, with our man (Charlie Hunnam) resisting the calling for as long as possible and then finally accepting his destiny to unseat the ruthless King Vortigern (Jude Law).

In its finest moments, "King Arthur" is clever and exhilarating, but at its low points, it plays like a

cheesy B-movie. Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, some suggestive content and brief strong language. 126 minutes. HHH. — RICHARD ROEPER “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” Even if you haven’t seen any of the previous entries in this initially entertaining but sometimes overblown Disney franchise, “Dead Men” works well enough as a stand-alone, swashbuckling comedic spectacle, thanks to the terrific performances, some ingenious practical effects and impressive CGI. Johnny Depp, Javiar Bardem and Geoffrey Rush ham it up. Rated PG-13 for sequences of adventure violence, and some suggestive .content 129 minutes. HHH. — RICHARD ROEPER “Snatched” When Goldie Hawn and Amy Schumer are playing verbal tennis as mother and daughter, trading passive-aggressive criticism along with genuinely affectionate observations, it’s an absolute delight to witness.

“Fist Fight” (Comedy, R, 91 m., 2017). A violent teacher (Ice Cube) challenges a sniveling colleague (Charlie Day) to a fight after school in a comedy that’s ugly, mean-spirited and bereft of laughs. The 91 minutes of cinematic detention feel twice as long. Rating: Zero stars.

“The Great Wall” (Action fantasy, PG-13, 104 m., 2017). Cast as the Great White Hope alongside several popular Chinese actors, Matt Damon plays a mercenary enlisted to help fight an invasion of paranormal monsters. A fantasy with some pretty cool visual effects but scads of unintentionally hilarious dialogue, “The Great Wall” is so wonderfully bad, I could see some coming for the action

“Logan” (Superhero action, R, 141 m., 2017).

As much a Western as it is a sci-fi thriller, James Mangold’s darkly entertaining “Logan” affords Hugh Jackman the opportunity to reinvent his portrayal of his X-Men character. The result is one of the best performances of Jackman’s career -and one of the most impressive superhero movies of this decade. Rating: HHH1/2

seArCh no More The last time Bryan Adams visited WilkesBarre, he performed a solo acoustic set at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts.

This time, his appearance calls for a bit more of a production.

The 57-year-old musician brings his “Get Up” tour to the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza on Tuesday, June 13, at 8 p.m. as a part of a crosspromotion between the arena and the Kirby Center.

The Canadian singer-songwriter promised his show would feature a mix of his chart-topping hit songs like “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” and “Summer of ‘69,” as well as newer material from his latest album, for which the tour is named.

Over the years, Adams made a name for himself as one of the top hit-making artists in rock and pop, beginning with his eponymous debut album spanning to his 13th and most recent album, “Get Up.” This 2015 release features nine new songs

22 J u n e 8 , 2 0 1 7

plus four acoustic versions of those songs.

“The album was a series of demos I’d made with my songwriting partner, Jim Vallance, and we would send the parts one by one to Jeff Lynne (of Electric Light Orchestra), who turned them into records in his studio,” Adams said. “It wasn’t meant to be a record, it just turned into one.”

In the last four decades, Adams garnered a multitude of awards and prestige, with his worldwide sales topping more than 65 million albums. He was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2011 and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and toured six continents. Adams also has been nominated for and won several Academy Awards, Golden Globes and Grammy Awards for his songs.

But those milestones and awards are not what he claims to be the cherry on top.

“It’s the freedom mostly, and knowing what I’m doing now is for my kids and building a legacy for them to be proud of,” he said.

Although Adams released thirteen studio

albums, five compilation albums, two soundtracks, four live albums and 69 singles, he still wishes he could tell his 21-year-old self to release as much music as possible.

“I would have released more music, straight up,” Adams admitted. “I was too precious about not releasing too much. Now I wish I had.”

In 2014 and 2015, the singer celebrated the 30th anniversary of “Reckless,” which boasted hits like “Heaven” and “Run To You,” with a special reissue of the album and an anniversary tour around Europe, Canada and the United States.

After so many years in the spotlight, Adams maintains his drive to create and write as much as ever.

“Making the music was the highlight (over the years), creating the songs,” Adams said. “Even now, as I’m creating a musical for Broadway of the film ‘Pretty Woman,’ the joy of getting the right song in the right spot is a thrill.”

When asked why he continues to tour after his rousing success over the years, rather than retire,

his response was simple: “Well for starters, I’m not dead yet, and I quite enjoy singing,” he joked. “Also because I have an international following thanks to certain songs, which means I get invited to perform all over the world.”

For those hoping to discover more about the singer, he encourages fans to follow his Instagram account, @BryanAdams, which he calls his “diary” on both his music and his life.

Marco Benevento to bring jazz-psychjam rock fusion to River Street Jazz Cafe

Garden State native Marco Benevento is no stranger to Northeast Pennsylvania. He has shared his singing and pianoplaying talents with the area since 2004, and continues to come back because of the area’s hospitality.

“The hospitality from (local promoter) Tom Moran is the main reason we come back, “ he said. “He is a great host, and the crowd we play for is great as well. It has been over a year since we played there, so it will be nice to go back.”

Benevento hails from Livingston, New Jersey, and is a graduate of Berklee College of Music, Boston, where the pianist physically received his college diploma from Ziggy Stardust himself: David Bowie.

“I was touched by magic,” he said with a laugh. “It was very cool to shake his hand and have him hand me my diploma. But actually, (saxophonist and composer) Wayne Shorter was another guest speaker at the graduation, and, at the time, I was way more into jazz, so I knew about him. (But) I am going through a big Bowie phase now, so it is cool to look back on.”

Benevento will perform his own blend of psych-jazz-jam rock at the River Street Jazz Cafe in Plains Twp. on Friday, June 16, when he takes the stage at 10 p.m. to promote his first live record, “Woodstock Sessions.”

“We are playing side A of the album in its entirety,” he said. “We will mix in some older tunes but it will be mostly our newest album. This one has some longer-ended jams in

because audi it be ecause we loved recording it. All that energy, the live audience, everything.”

Benevento will belt out the vocals and jam on piano while Karina Rykman strums the bass and Andy Borger pounds out a rhythm on the drums. “Woodstock Sessions” represents a different sound for the trio thanks to Benevento taking on vocal duties.

“I have a little studio next to my house, and after the kids go to bed, from about 10 p.m. to midnight, I turn on everything and just record,” he said. “I sort of just go instead of having something to play, and then I go back and edit what I improvised.

Just trim the fat.”

The rock trio finds influence in groups like Gorillaz and the Talking Heads, and feels excited to get back to the Jazz Cafe where everyone is “in your face.”

“We take a bit of that edge, on-your-feet sort of music, and get people dancing,” Benevento said. “We like the Jazz Cafe because it is like we are partying with the people.”

garage bands. And what made me want to change over from playing in bands to being a DJ was the impact that it had on the crowd, with people having a good time, dancing and socializing. It was all about what the music did to the crowds. I wasn’t there for me. Never was. It was always about the end result: giving them a memory and giving them a good time. And now I’m pushing those memory buttons. The memories that I helped create 30, 25 or 20 years ago … now I get to go back and push them again. And that’s kind of fun.

Is there a particular era of music that you enjoy playing the most?

The ’80s – because of the different styles, and having watched the music reform itself after ’70s rock and ’70s disco and ’70s acoustic music. In the ’80s, they took some of those elements, and of funk and soul and disco, and created new music. A lot of ’80s pop, to this day, is influential due to the timelessness of the music.

How did you get your nickname?

Back in ’84, I was working at a club at State College, and a bartender sort of did a typecast of me — from the way I look — as that typical Italian mobster. (Laughs.) So I asked, “Well, is there a drink to go with it?” and he said, “Yeah, there’s a drink called the Godfather,” which is Scotch and amaretto. And I grew accustomed to liking it and drinking it. So that supported the nickname.

Favorite TV shows?

“Game of Thrones” and “The Sopranos.”

Favorite food?

Any Lebanese dish. It’s healthy and I grew up on it.

Favorite city?

New York.

Favorite vacation spot?

Point Pleasant, Myrtle Beach or any beach.

‘ImpractIcal Jokers’ stars brIng Improv, ‘buddy comedy’ show to montage mountaIn Mention Scranton to James “Murr” Murray, and the memories rush back.

“I’ve spent more time in Scranton than some residents there,” the Tenderloins comedy troupe member and truTV’s “Impractical Jokers” star joked in a recent phone interview. “I’m a huge, huge fan of the city, I’ve spent countless days there and I’m a big fan of the trains.”

Murray returns, not to sightsee or to help his sisters move in or out of the University of Scranton, but with his best friends, the Tenderloins — Joseph “Joe” Gatto, Brian “Q” Quinn and Salvatore “Sal” Vulcano — for their “Santiago Sent Us” tour Friday, June 9, at 8 p.m. at the Pavilion at Montage Mountain, 1000 Montage Mountain Road.

Tickets starts at $28 and are available at livenation.com or by phone at 800-745-3000.

Formed in 1999 in New York, the Tenderloins

originally performed improvisational comedy and did sketch shows for years before moving their act online. After receiving millions of views, their popularity surge ultimately resulted in the group’s success today on “Impractical Jokers.”

“Our friendship on display is the magic of the show because it’s really a buddy comedy,” Murray explained. “It’s what everyone does with their best friends, and this upside-down prank show with the jokes on us instead of the public was enough of a twist to make the show pop.”

Along with his friends and co-stars, Murray is an internationally recognized jokester through the hit comedy TV show. Now in its sixth season, “Impractical Jokers” follows the group’s antics through hidden cameras as they play public pranks on each other.

The magic many see on television comes out

during their live shows in a blend of what the Tenderloins have done together for nearly two decades.

“The tour is what you love about our TV show, but live,” Murray said. “We’re all on stage at all times, and it’s kind of like a stand-up show. We’re telling stories, ripping into each other, and we show videos made specifically for the show you can’t see anywhere else.

“There’s a giant screen up behind us, we put up clips and it’s really a rock-concert-meets-a-standup-show. And it’s family friendly too,” Murray added.

All the Tenderloins’ years together molded their work into what it is today, a journey best described

by Murray as a “ten-year overnight success story.”

That story continues across the United States and Europe with a stop once again in Northeast Pennsylvania for an evening of high jinks and laughs.

“If we were stand-up comedians that were not

touring together as best friends, I think it’d be a lonely life,” Murray said. “But these guys are my best friends, I’ve known them since 1990. If we weren’t touring together, I know we’d still just be hanging out.”

new kid on the block

Midvalley staple Duke’s Pizza moves to Dunmore with new recipes, familiar favor

Paul Praino began his career in pizza at the tender age of 12.

The Blakely native used to walk to Duke’s sports bar and pizza parlor at its former location in Peckville every day when he got out of school at Valley View, where he would work as a stockboy and kitchen prep cook for his uncle, Andy Venosh, who owned the business with a couple friends. From the start, the Midvalley establishment was known for its square trays, hot and cold hoagies, crisp salads and tasty wings.

But the standout on the menu became the Steak and Cheese Pizza, which was borne from a request by one of the bar’s best customers.

“It blew up, and it’s the reason we’re still here,” said Praino.

By 16 years old, Praino became a partial owner in the business. When his uncle fell ill and passed away, his other uncle, Bobby Venosh, took over and encouraged Praino to step in authority with Duke’s.

They eventually opened a second location at 620 S. Blakely St., Dunmore, in April 2016, where Praino took the lead while Venosh stayed behind to manage the Peckville joint.

Praino long desired getting out of the bar business, though, so when Venosh died unexpectedly

26 J u n e 8 , 2 0 1 7

shortly after in May, Praino decided to leave the original Duke’s behind to build up the Dunmore carry-out spot.

With less than 10 seats around a handful of small tables, the space lends itself to more of a grab-and-go style, which suits Praino’s ideal business model. By eliminating waiting on people, he’s able to focus on the product, and making it the best it’s been in years.

He serves all square pizza, from the traditional red to the Polish pierogi-style Pagash to the Fresh Tomato, Basil and Garlic. The famous steak-andcheese pies come double-crusted and can be customized with onion, peppers or mushrooms.

Praino also perfected his own wing sauce, the Peno, which is a sort of hot honey garlic flavor, and serves it up hot to order on the regular wings or boneless, which can be made baked for a healthier option.

The 12-inch hoagies come in all the standard varieties, while his homemade pierogies are rolled fresh in numerous combinations, like Potato and Cheese, Buffalo Chicken, Steak and Cheese and Jalapeno.

His newest addition to the menu is the invention of Duke’s Snackatizer, which is a sort of appetizer

sampler pizza. It pairs cheese and a double-crust with onion rings, French fries and fried mozzarella and comes with a choice of dipping sauces.

“Some people do that with sandwiches and I thought, ‘Man, this could be good in a pizza. You could say the customers also helped with the idea.”

For help, Praino leans on his mother, Julia Venosh, and longtime pizza-making partner Gary Frisbie, who worked at the original Duke’s for 15 years and has known Praino’s family for more than two decades. They offer delivery during lunch to schools and local businesses, and do their best to stay active with local community groups, which was standard practice at the old Duke’s.

They’ve offered athletic scholarships and served pizza at games for years, and regularly help dance academies, kids’ groups and more with fundraisers. They donate pizzas often, and have been a popular presence at the annual St. Ubaldo festivities.

“Duke’s has always been heavily involved with the community. Very close-knit with the neighbors,” Praino said.

He also offers weeknight specials Mondays through Thursdays so that customers can try the

food and various specials at discounted rates.

His greatest obstacle in the past year has been spreading the word about where he is now, but he credits his longtime faithful customers and the welcoming new faces he sees with making the business a continued success.

“The biggest challenge is being in one location for 27 years, and now people don’t realize we’re here,” Praino said. “But I want to thank all the loyal people who stuck with us, and the new Dunmore/ Scranton customers who have given us a shot.”

Liquid

with daVid faLChek

Soaking up the SudS with JameS Crane There has been a really interesting thing happening with fruit beers lately. I’m sure there are some of you that couldn’t care less, but hear me out. There are, in my opinion, good ones out there.

Purple Haze, for instance, is one of my favorites.

They all tend to be pretty straight forward without too many underlying complexities.

However, this could be argued, especially in the case of something like a Lambic, where the fruit is paired with much sour and an underlying funk. Aside from a few tried and true exceptions, these beers taste like whatever fruit that is their namesake.

End of story.

But there is a trend evolving lately that is proving this wrong. Fruit has been popping up in an unlikely place: IPAs. With a style that is well known for having such a hop focus, it’s hard to think of where fruit would fit in. It makes a little more sense when you think of hops as something other than bitter. Yes, bittering hops are quite popular, but the bud has other qualities that pair well with fruit. Humulus lupulus can be quite piney, or floral.

They can also impart citrus characteristics to a brew. The flowers can be very resiny, imparting a flavor and sensation I find myself hard pressed to describe as anything other than “juicy.”

I’ve had a number of IPAs this year that have certainly made use of those characteristics. Citrus seems to be the go-to, with blood orange or grapefruit being popular. Leave it to Stone Brewing to go a different route, however. This week, I’m drinking Stone’s Give Me IPA or Give Me Death, brewed with raspberries and blackberries from Virginia. It’s a collaborative brew. Made with Terry McAuliffe,

the governor of Virginia, it’s a celebration of their new brewery in Richmond.

The pour was a lovely rubyish amber color that was almost orange. There was a solid two-fingers worth of beautiful head and lacing that clung all the way down the sides of the glass. A good deal of bubbles rose through the liquid, promising decent carbonation. It was a good looking brew.

The scent was not surprising for a Stone IPA. In the definite forefront was hops and lots of them. They smelled dank and citrusy. It was a bit like someone swirled a big resiny pine tree around in a glass of beer.

Hidden far beneath the onslaught was the caramel malt, holding it all together.

The tasting experience also was not unlike other Stone brews.

At first, your life is hops. Everything you’ve ever known has been replaced by hops. Sure, you get that caramel malt, but then it’s all piney, resiny, bitter hops. Once your tongue gets used to it, however, other flavors come out.

There was pretzel, as well as a bit of a black pepper to the finish. There is just a slightest undercurrent of vanilla. Then you find it, toward the back, trying to slink away unnoticed: the berries. They’re there, but they are not the star of this brew. Instead, they just contribute to the overall beautiful trainwreck that is the flavor of this beer.

Give Me IPA or Give Me Death isn’t terribly unique, despite its special ingredients. At its core, it’s just another Stone IPA. Thankfully, I love Stone IPAs. The fruit is but a pleasant afterthought. I don’t know that I’d have it any other way.

warm weather uSherS in peak SeaSon for refreShing roSé

A savvy Long Island winery touted the hilarious nickname for its rosé: “The Gatorade of the Hamptons.”

In 2015, news stories touched upon the rich and famous fretting that rosé would run out as the summer wound down with the social calendar still dotted with events.

The good news is no one needs a Hamptonssized budget to regularly enjoy the refreshing pink wine. Rosé consumption need not be limited to patio brunches and poolside gatherings. For as fun as rosé may be, the refreshing, acidic wine tends to be incredibly pairable with a range of foods. Even Julia Child famously declared, “Rosé goes with anything.”

Rosé is mostly forgivable at lower price points.

Even when it is not great, it is still usually pretty good. Just about any grape we associate with red wine can be made into a good rosé.

The rosé traces its heritage to the Rhône region. e. guigal Côtes du rhône rosé is a common sight on store shelves and wine lists. Salmon-colored and elegant, the wine combines fruitfulness with minerality and crispness. A wine that shifts from fruity and generous to elegant and sharp, Guigal’s rosé is as good by itself as it is with food. $15.

HHHH1/2.

An otherwise simple wine, emiliana natura Valle del rapel 2016 rosé Chile smells faintly of guava and has muted fruit flavors, but delivers a hint of tannins on the end that make me believe this would a good choice for even heavier foods. $12.

HHH1/2.

A nice New World wine, Vigilance 2016 rosé of Pinot Noir, California, has a nice cherry smell and flavor of pomegranate and orange. The round

texture has soft, fruity, off-dry finish, and is possibly better by itself than with food. $10.

HHHH. Don’t worry about a shortage.

You’ll see more rosé selections around this time of year, but you’ll find rosé throughout all four seasons.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “God doesn’t play dice with the universe,” said Albert Einstein.

In response, another Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Niels Bohr, said to Einstein, “Stop giving instructions to God.” I urge you to be more like Bohr than Einstein in the coming weeks, Capricorn. As much as possible, avoid giving instructions to anyone, including God, and resist the temptation to offer advice. In fact, I recommend that you abstain from passing judgment, demanding perfection and trying to compel the world to adapt itself to your definitions. Instead, love and accept everything and everyone exactly as they are right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Lysistrata” is a satire by ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes. It takes place during the war between Athens and Sparta.

The heroine convinces a contingent of women to withhold sexual privileges from the soldiers until they stop fighting. “I will wear my most seductive dresses to inflame my husband’s ardor,” says one. “But I will never yield to his desires.

I won’t raise my legs towards the ceiling. I will not take up the position of the Lioness on a Cheese Grater.” Regardless of your gender, Aquarius, your next assignment is twofold: 1. Don’t be like the women in the play. Give your favors with discerning generosity. 2. Experiment with colorful approaches to pleasure like the Lioness with a Cheese Grater, the Butterfly Riding the Lizard, the Fox Romancing the River, and any others you can dream up.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take your seasick pills. The waves will sometimes be higher than your boat. Although I don’t think you’ll capsize, the ride may be wobbly. And unless you have waterproof clothes, it’s probably best to just get naked.

You WILL get drenched. By the way, don’t even fantasize about heading back to shore prematurely.

You have good reasons to be sailing through the rough waters. There’s a special “fish” out there that you need to catch. If you snag it, it will feed you for months — maybe longer.

Psycho sudoku Psycho sudoku -- “Greater-than sudoku”

PuZZLe PaGe

For this “Greater-Than Sudoku,” I’m not giving you ANY numbers to start off with! Adjoining squares in the grid’s 3x3 boxes have a greater-than sign (>) telling you which of the two numbers in those squares is larger. Fill in every square with a number from 1–9 using the greater-than signs as a guide. When you’re done, as in a normal Sudoku, every row, column, and 3x3 box will contain the numbers 1–9 exactly one time. (Solving hint: try to look for the 1’s and 9’s in each box first, then move on to the 2’s and 8’s, and so on).
