For the past eight years, Boston’s Girls Guns and Glory have been relentlessly touring the world and releasing records at a feverish pace.

Josh Kiggans on drums/percussion and Chris Hersch on lead guitar/banjo) credit influences such as Chuck Berry, Eddie Cochran and Buddy Holly, as well as country greats like Johnny Cash and Williams.

“Our sound has been evolving from country to where we are now,” Hayden said in a recent release. “I label what we do now as American music. It’s really rooted in various American forms of music, whether it’s rockabilly or hillbilly boogie or traditional country or rock and roll.”

The band was named Americana Artist of the Year at the 2013 Boston Music Awards.Tickets can be purchased at the Kirby Center Box Office, at 570-826-1100 and online at kirbycenter.org.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 on the day of the show. Visit girlsgunsandglory.com for more information. — tg

The second annual Frankie’s Voice 5K Bandana Run/Walk takes place Sunday, July 19 at the Nay Aug Park Pavilion, Scranton.

Back to Black

Titled simply Amy, Asif Kapadia’s feature documentary about British jazz/pop singer Amy Winehouse, who died from alcohol poisoning at age 27 in July 2011, has been screening in limited release to widespread acclaim since its premiere at Cannes, despite controversy for not receiving the Winehouse family’s approval. It opens Friday, July 17, at Pocono Community Theater in East Stroudsburg.

The Grammy Award-winning singer wrote most of her own songs and the film’s aim was to showcase her brilliance as well as to humanize her as much as possible, the director told PBS’s Newshour. “It’s difficult to watch without feeling in some way guilty, responsible in however small a way, for helping to push a vulnerable person into a spiral that ultimately claimed her life,” Paul MacInnes said in UK’s The Guardian.

The film was assembled from 100 interviews and took three years to make, including 20 months of editing alone. Call 570-421-FILM for show times or visit poconocommunitytheatre.org. — ag

let Down Your Hair

A project of The Spaghetti and Meatball Players, The Commedia Rapunzel will travel to FringeNYC’s FringeJR stage after premiering at the Scranton Shakespeare Festival (SSF) this weekend. Following a “troupe of poor traveling actors as they present a zany musical romp through the classic fairytale of Rapunzel done in the style of Commedia dell’Arte,” the interactive family comedy was previously workshopped at Columbia Children’s Theatre in South Carolina. It is one of two contemporary comedies, each influenced by classic theatrical traditions and language, that SSF will stage this weekend.

Both Sam LaFrage’s The Commedia Rapunzel and Loose Cannon by Brian Reno and Gabriel Vega will be staged at the Royal Theatre at the University of Scranton’s McDade Center for Literary and Performing Arts. The Commedia Rapunzel plays Friday, July 17, at 6 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, July 18 and 19, at 2 p.m. Loose Cannon plays July 17 through July 19 at 8 p.m. Both shows will also play again next weekend, when SSF’s presents all of this summer shows in three days. All shows are offered free of charge with donations collected following the performance. Visit scrantonshakespearefestival.org for more information. — ag

“Sarah and Baby Doll” and “Afternoon Brilliance” are among the paintings by Elizabeth Fulton on display in a new exhibition titled Hot Time: Summer in the City opening at Marquis Art and Frame in Wilkes-Barre on Friday, July 17. The show also includes works by photographer Curt Salonick and ceramic artist Christine Pocono.

Opening Thursday, July 16, at Keystone College in LaPlume, this year’s The Gathering literary conference stems from the theme “The Story: exploring personal encounters with history” “We will transcend cultural boundaries and consider social justice issues through the arts, literature, and sciences,” promotion for the event reads. “Featured artists, performers, poets, and authors were invited because their work focuses on the profoundly personal impact of events in the global arena.”

Before marrying a native of India in 2001 and finding her curious mind wandering there for long spells at a time while her husband worked, journalist Katharine Boo covered poverty for the Washington Post. She won a Pulitizer Prize for Public Serivce in 2000 but rather than move up the ladder to more prestigious subjects (e.g. politicians and those who lobby them), she stayed in the streets, writing about people trying to rise out of shelters or move out of bad neighbors and Hurricane Katrina evacuees.

Her book Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Live, Death and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity is non-fiction that reads like a novel. Winner of the National Book Award in 2012, it enlightens first-world readers to the unbelievable conditions in Annawadi, a Mumbai slum, by slipping facts and research into the stories of a few of its 3,000 residents.

The writer spent three years with her subjects learning about them not only from interviews but by observing their behavior over time. Of particular interest to her was identifying “the infrastructure of opportunity” in the society and by what means people might rise out of poverty as well as the parallels of the inequality in these slums with that in other cities around the world.

“Some people consider such juxtapositions of wealth and poverty a moral problem. What fascinates me is why they’re not more of a practical one. After all, there are more poor people than rich people in the world’s Mumbais,” Boo wrote in the book’s afterword. from Beyond the Beautiful Forevers: ...Maybe because of the boiling April sun (Abdul) thought about water and ice.

Water and ice were made of the same thing. He thought most people were made of the same thing, too. He himself was probably little different, constitutionally, from the cynical, corrupt people around him — the police officers and the special executive officer and the morgue doctor

who fixed Kalu’s death. If he had to sort all humanity by its material essence he thought he would probably end up with a single gigantic pile. But here was the interesting thing: ice was distinct from, and in his view better than, what it was made of. He wanted to be better than what he was made of. In Mumbai’s dirty water, he wanted to be ice. He wanted to have ideals. For self-interested reasons, one of the ideals he most wanted to have was a belief in the possibility of justice. It wasn’t easy to believe just now.

Also featured on the schedule of presenters are poet Denver Butson and civil rights activist Anita Hill, a professor of law, public policy, and women’s studies at Heller Graduate School of Policy and Management, Brandeis University. Hill is the author of Speaking Truth to Power and Reimagining Equality: Stories of Gender, Race, and Finding Home and is widely remembered for her testimony in the 1991 Supreme Court nomination hearings for Clarence Thomas.

The Gathering events also include films, storytelling, book signings, workshops, conversations, poetry readings, nature walks and yoga, receptions, meals and more. Fees for individual events are $10-15 or $25 for three. Full conference attendance packages range from $300-530 and have been available on a first-come, first-served basis.

CROCODILES — Boys THE GOOD: California noise/pop outfit Crocodiles come back with their fifth.

THE BAD: Out of original ideas?

THE NITTY GRITTY: The band, always revolving around core members and founders Brandon Welchez and Charles Rowell, have had the distortion-fueled Jesus and Mary Chain vibe running through their music from the very beginning. But I can’t remember it ever being THIS prevalent.

Boys echoes that former band’s ’90s output very closely, especially the rhythmically-charged Automatic (1989) and Honey’s Dead (1992).

But if you’re going to put out “retreads,” they might as well be cool retreads. Despite the lack of genuine freshness here, Boys remains an enjoyable listen. You can’t escape the infectious pull of tracks like “Fooling Around” and “Peroxide Hearts;” songs that are all about riffs, grooves and noise as opposed to fantastic melodies.

This is a mood record and the mood is dark (yet in many instances, still somewhat danceable).

Hopefully, the follow-up will be more innovative, but for now, Boys will do.

BUY IT?: Still … sure.

REPTAR — Lurid Glow THE GOOD: Athens, Georgia indie rockers Reptar get a little more serious on their second.

THE BAD: Like the band’s 2012 debut Body Faucet, Lurid Glow is a record of soaring highs and dreadful lows. Don’t expect perfection.

THE NITTY GRITTY: When inspired, Reptar delivers heaps of super-fine quirky new wave.

Tracks like “No One Will Ever Love You” and lead single “Ice Black Sand” aren’t short on frontman Graham Ulicny’s frantic vocals, along with plenty of jittery beats and memorable riffs beneath them.

Too bad the record boasts copious amounts of dull filler, too. The guys reach beyond their collective grasp when they go “progressive” on multi-tempo opuses such as “Particleboard” (just

about as enticing as its namesake) and “Breezy Leapy” (um … not really). And the quieter and down-tempo “Amanda” almost stops the album dead in its tracks at the halfway point.

BUY IT?: Lurid Glow has its moments … but are there ENOUGH to warrant a purchase (or a complete second listen)? Perhaps not.

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS — Glean THE GOOD: Legendary indie Brooklyn duo TMBG comes back with their thirteenth (excluding compilations and children’s albums).

THE BAD: Yes, many of the guys’ records are interchangeable (this one included), but you can’t deny that their usual lyrical quirkiness and big beautiful sing-song melodies are utterly charming and irresistible. So the formula continues to captivate.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Back in the ’80s, covocalists and instrumentalists John Flansburgh and John Linnell started their “Dial-a-Song” service on an answering machine, offering a new song about once a week to frequent callers.

Discontinued almost a decade ago, the Giants relaunched Dial online last December. Glean is essentially a compilation of 15 of the new tunes uploaded during the first few months.

Whether it’s the guitar-heavy “Erase,” the gorgeous melancholy-tinged “Answer,” the retro pop permeating “All the Lazy Boyfriends,” or the swinging throwback “Let Me Tell You about My Operation,” Glean is never short on the two Johns’ witty sarcastic wordplay or huge sugary sweet hooks.

BUY IT?: Of course.

CAMP BISCO

TAKES OVER MONTAGE MOUNTAIN

The Disco Biscuits bring Camp Bisco to Montage Mountain, Thursday, July 16 to Saturday, July 18. Camp Bisco photos provided by Dave Vann.

T

he lights and rumbling bass rolling off Montage Mountain Thursday, July 16, through Saturday, July 18, won’t be thunder and lightning — the 13th Camp Bisco music and arts festival makes its first appearance in the 570, featuring an array of jam and electronic artists.

Headliners The Disco Biscuits, Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, STS9, Big Gigantic, Atmosphere and Tipper will be joined by dozens of other performers spread across four stages.

Camp Bisco began in 1999 when Philadelphiabased jam band The Disco Biscuits hosted a small gathering in central Pennsylvania.

“The origin was rooted in us not having the time slots that we wanted at these other festivals we were playing in the mid-to-late ’90s,” said Aron Magner, keyboardist and vocals for The Disco Biscuits. “It was a hodgepodge of other bands, we were playing at time slots that we didn’t like, against other bands that we didn’t feel were fitting.

That was the impetus for starting our own festival.

Now we have curated it in terms of the other artists who are on the festival, we’ve done everything to blossom it into one of the nation’s premiere festivals.”

After a one-year hiatus from the festival’s long-

24 J u l y 1 6 , 2 0 1 5

time home in upstate New York, the band began discussions with Live Nation to relocate to Montage Mountain. Dave Niedbalski, vice president of marketing at Live Nation, said the new partnership for Camp Bisco seemed like a natural fit.

“The Disco Biscuits are like family,” he said.

“We’ve been working with The Disco Biscuits since their early days when they were playing the small clubs in Philly. As they grew as a band, we helped produce several larger events with them, including New Year’s Eve shows and Jam on the River. It was only a matter of time that we were working with them on Camp Bisco.”

The decision to take a year off from the festival and relocate wasn’t quick for the band, according to Magner.

“When we had to take a year off last year — we didn’t want to face it for so long, we knew that we were behind the eight ball, we knew we had obstacles we needed to hurdle, we knew there were issues that needed to be resolved and time kept on ticking — it was not an easy decision to make,” he said. “Just announcing it alone —‘Hey we’re taking Camp Bisco off this year’ — was a really hard decision. We knew that it was for the good of the festival, it wasn’t an indefinite hiatus. We just knew

e le c tric c ity / d ia m o n d c ity

TS_CNG/EC_DC/PAGES [E24] | 07/15/15

15:50 | GRAHAMTOM

we needed to take a year off. But that didn’t make it any easier.”

Montage Mountain has become a destination for festivals in the region, with the Peach Music Festival drawing ever-larger crowds and homegrown festivals like FuzzFest and the Susquehanna Breakdown thriving.

“With the success of Peach and Susquehanna Breakdown, it was only natural for us to really focus on making Montage a festival destination,” said Niedbalski. “This festival site is so unique and just letting everyone know what to expect was the biggest challenge. Now it’s just about continuously enhancing the experience.”

Magner said the new location seems like a perfect fit.

“When I did my site inspection of this new property was when I really saw it coming together,” he said. “Coming to the site and walking around and envisioning it was like when you’re looking to buy a house and you see a bunch, but there’s one that kind of speaks to you. That was really exciting; we knew we had made the right decision. We could envision Camp Bisco there and we knew that switching venues was going to be different, but this is all for positive reasons.”

While the year off may have disappointed some fans, Magner said the time was necessary and Camp Bisco will be better than ever.

“Coming back with Camp Bisco this year, we’ve had a full year off to improve and make changes,” he said. “It kind of comes with a fresh vibe to it, it’s not just like ‘here we are at Camp Bisco!’ It’s in a different state, it’s at a different site, it’s with a different co-promoter. A lot has changed for the better.”

All festival tickets include admission to the Montage Mountain water park — three-day festival tickets ($225.05), Saturday single-day tickets ($99) and camping passes for three-day ticket holders ($52) are still available at the gates. Information on remaining VIP packages is available at campbisco. com.

Camp Bisco boasts four stages at Montage Mountain and one of the hallmarks of the festival is the diversity of music. Magner said the mashup of jam band and electronic artists and genres is intentional.

“We wanted to put on a festival of bands that we liked, bands that we like their music, we like their personality both musically and personally, in terms of just a back-stage hang,” Magner said.

The Disco Biscuits

The Crowd at Camp Bisco 2013

“These are our friends, we’re on the same festival circuits or we’ll be co-billed at a venue or something. So we wanted to cultivate that, we wanted to introduce our fans to bands they may not have been exposed to before. We wanted our fans to introduce us to musical acts that maybe we hadn’t been exposed to before that we have the ability to expose them to our community. We’ve done that!”

The community aspect of Camp Bisco is strong.

The Camp Bisco “Color War” is a fan-run event within the festival entering its 10th incarnation.

Fans can choose a color faction and participate in summer camp-style activities like tug of war and egg tosses, as well as ongoing activities and a food drive challenge. Color War co-judge Wes Hall said the festival sub-event is as important to some fans as Camp Bisco itself.

“The weekend of a festival can fly by so fast and be such a whirlwind, that it’s hard to hold onto specific memories,” Hall said. “By participating in Color War, though, you slow the weekend down, you break it up – it’s not all just music. You are creating memories with friends, making new friends and feeding your innate human desire to compete.”

Magner said The Disco Biscuits’ connection with their fans and the Camp Bisco community at large is what helps make the event successful.

“Camp Bisco represents not just a fun weekend, it also represents a sense of community,” he said.

“I think we all share in that — not just the Disco Biscuits and us growing the festival from an 800 person festival in 1999 to whatever it is now — it’s something that I feel like we’re all responsible for within our scene. I liken it to summer camp when you were a kid. The people you meet, the people you come back to see every year, these are your friends for life.”

In addition to building memories and exposing fans to new music, Magner said Camp Bisco has become a cultural landmark in both the jam band and electronic music scenes.

“We’ve all nurtured this within our scene and our culture and our community,” Magner said. “We come together for a celebration of that. That to me is what Camp Bisco represents. That’s what gets me excited. I love being able to play three days of Disco Biscuits music for our hardcore fans and share that stage with some of the nation’s most premiere acts and getting Bassnectar every year.

I think Bassnectar feels as much a part of Camp Bisco as anybody else; he’s been on it virtually every single year. That’s the type of community, of celebration that Camp Bisco really is. And we all built it together: the fans and the artists.”

Bringing fans and friends of Camp Bisco to

the 570 helps cement Montage Mountain as the area’s premiere concert destination, according to Niedbalski.

“With Camp Bisco and Peach, we have over 35,000-plus fans coming to the area,” Niedbalski said. “They’re shopping in our stores, eating in our restaurants, staying in our hotels. On top of that, the festival is putting people to work and using local vendors. The economic impact is quite strong.”

Ultimately, though, Magner says the band is happy to find a new home for Camp Bisco in the 570.

“The Disco Biscuits have a ravenous following of people in Scranton and the surrounding area,” Magner said. “A lot of those people have become good friends of ours — I think that’s one of the cool things about the Disco Biscuits is the line between fan and friend has been blurred and that connection we have with our fans is part of what drives this band and this culture. But there are a lot of people from the Scranton area who are in our immediate circle of friends and fandom. It’s not like we’re doing Camp Bisco in Philadelphia, which I kind of feel is our ‘home,’ if you will. With Scranton, I feel like we still have a personal connection to it because of the friendship we have with so many people from Scranton. It kind of feels like a home away from home. If nothing else, we will bring the

Zeds Dead festival back to Pennsylvania, where it started in 1999.”

Like proud parents, The Disco Biscuits have brought Camp Bisco closer to home.

“I’ve always thought of Camp Bisco as our baby,” said Magner. “It’s a festival that obviously we’re directly attached to, that we have cultivated from inception. We’ve watched it evolve and blossom with everything that should happen with the growth of any business, industry, piece of art, culture — it’s all encompassed in Camp Bisco, so there’s a very, very personal attachment to it.”

melting Pot

Abingtons nAtive teAms with internAtionAl musiciAns for trio thAt mixes styles

It’s been said that music is the universal language, which is good for Clarks Summit native Nick Wight since his bandmates live thousands of miles away and speak minimal English.

Now a Brooklyn, New York, resident, Wight plays drums in the international band Pericopes+1, which he described as a melting pot of musical styles rooted mostly in jazz.

The group will bring its melodic, instrumental sound stateside for a show at the Cooperage in Honesdale on Saturday, July 18, at 7:30 p.m. Wight said he looks forward to getting out of the city for a while to show his friends around his hometown and breathe “some fresh air” before they promote their studio album, “These Human Beings,” in Europe this fall.

An Abington Heights High School graduate, Wight played in his alma mater’s jazz, marching and concert bands before he earned a bachelor’s degree in music education and jazz drum performance from Temple University in Philadelphia.

Deep roots Though his musical roots extend all the way to age 3, when his parents bought him his first drum set for Christmas, Wight delved into the jazz scene during college.

“It was a very fertile scene in school and the conservatory,” he told The Times-Tribune during a recent interview from California. “(There were) a lot of musicians learning and thriving in Philly.

“I jumped into the jazz scene, trying to learn from the local greats and masters there and picked up a few solo gigs. The teachers at school played locally, too and were playing the scene in New York. There was not much of a separation between school and the scene. They were regular musicians that had gigs on the weekends and there was a lot of crossover.”

He watched local improvisational legends like Byron Landham and drew inspiration from his own father, the late Dave Wight, a co-founder of area band Old Friends in the 1970s who introduced his son to surf music.

“My ultimate goal was to stay humble and become more in-demand as a side man,” Wight said.

“Back then I wasn’t really sure what path I wanted to pursue the most. ... I really enjoyed the improvised music realm and I wanted to travel and do what I love.”

He taught (and still teaches) lessons, including

26 J u l y 1 6 , 2 0 1 5

Pericopes+1 drumlines at local schools and clinics for middle- and high-school jazz bands, but he continued to look for an outlet for his eclectic love of drumming styles and music genres.

“I really enjoy (teaching), but doing what was most natural to me is playing drums and forgetting about life,” Wight explained. “I channel my energies to that moment, whether it’s bluegrass, rock-and-roll, or straight-ahead jazz.

“If I was only teaching, I’d burn out. But the same goes for playing.”

some of the kinks and presented it to some of the clubs, it was apparent it was something we had to pursue. We clicked and had this bond. “( Vernizzi) speaks limited English, but people Off to Europe could sense our brotherhood in music,” Wight added.

On the recommendation of a friend, Wight was “There’s this personality and understanding and fun invited to join a New Orleans-style/Chuck Berryyou can see when we’re playing live.” influenced band out of New York on a European tour The result is an Italian jazz style that mixes with and he found a true friend in Emiliano Vernizzi, a saxopost-rock, avant garde and classical minimalist champhonist who also became part of the touring lineup. ber music, according to the band.

“We were playing rock-and-roll music but talking With the three members of the newly christened about John Coltrane, our favorite artist, every night,” Pericopes+1 so geographically spread out, however, Wight said of his instant connection with the Italian.

Vernizzi told him about an original project he was regular gigs have been tough. Last spring, Vernizzi and Sgobbio came to the United States for a slew of working on in Italy, called Pericopes and encouraged shows over a two-week period and the band quickly Wight to look him up the next time he was in Europe recorded its album at Tedesco Studios in Paramus, so they could jam.

“When I realized Nick was so elastic as a drum“They came here with maybe only two or three mer, I (wanted) to involve Nick with this project,” Vernizzi said by phone. “Nick was talented. ...

“I’m not much of a writer in terms of (being a) composer,” Wight said. “All I could bring to the table was reflections of my dad’s songs. “(We) channeled some pretty deep emotions on that. My dad’s lyrics were written in the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, about war and social injustices. ... As we’re ending our 20s and we’re hyper-sensitive to this now, these words apply to today’s world as it did then.”

Vernizzi said they “wanted Nick collaborating in some way as a composer.”

“When he came out and said, ‘Hey, I have a song from my father,’ that was really amazing for us,” Vernizzi said. “It has a lot of meaning. We come from European jazz tradition with a lot of influence from folk, traditional songs. We wanted American roots, (so) it fits perfectly with the balance.”

The group is excited not only to play together again but also to bring its music to audiences closer to where Wight calls home. Pericopes+1 has only played in Pennsylvania once before, last year in Delaware Water Gap. “The whole goal is definitely to see some familiar faces back, (but) we want to share this music with a wider audience,” Wight said. “We want it to spread out to Honesdale, Hawley and Wayne County.”

SCREENS

MOVIE TIMES: THE570.COM

by Jeff Boam

OPENING THIS WEEK

Trainwreck Amy Schumer, Bill Hader In this R-rated comedy, a commitment-phobic career woman (Schumer) who never thought that monogamy was possible faces her fears when she meets a good guy (Hader). The Plus: The players. When executive producer Judd Apatow launched the ’80s high school dramedy Freaks and Geeks on NBC back in 2000, he did not have the back-to-back successes of 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up under his belt yet. He did, however, help to launch more than a few careers, including those of Linda Cardellini (Showtime’s Bloodline), Jason Segel (Sex Tape), James Franco (True Story), Seth Rogen (The Interview) and Leslie Mann (The Other Woman), his wife and the star of his last comedy, This is 40. Now he hopes to do the same for Amy Schumer, the white-hot stand-up already making waves on the small screen with her hilarious comedy program, Inside Amy Schumer. Apatow, who also produced the blockbuster comedies Superbad and Bridesmaids, directs a cast that includes Schumer (Seeking a Friend for the End of the World), Hader (Men in Black 3), Tilda Swinton (The Grand Budapest Hotel), Brie Larson (The Gambler), Colin Quinn (Grown Ups 2), Jon Cena (12 Rounds), Ezra Miller (The Fault in Our Stars), LeBron James (NBA star, Cleveland Cavaliers) and Method Man (The Wackness). The Minus: The odds. Apatow’s Funny People was not a huge success with moviegoers or critics despite having Adam Sandler as its star. His follow-up, This is 40, did better, but the writer-director isn’t bulletproof at the box office, especially if you consider some of his producing credits (Drillbit Taylor, Year One, Wanderlust).

Ant-Man Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly In this as-yet-unrated Marvel comics flick, con-man Scott Lang (Rudd), armed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor (Michael Douglas) plan and pull off a heist that will save the world. The Plus: The brand. Since 2008, Marvel Studios released 11 movies that amassed more than $7 billion. For their next trick, Peyton Reed (Yes Man) directs Paul Rudd (This is 40), Evangeline Lilly (The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies), Michael Douglas (Last Vegas), Corey Stoll (This is Where I Leave You), Bobby Cannavale (Danny Collins), Michael Pena (Fury), Judy Greer (Carrie), Tip “T.I.” Harris (Get Hard). Also, have you seen that slick laugh-filled trailer yet? The Minus: The tone. Guardians of the Galaxy proved that not all of Marvels properties have to be based on well-known superheroes to lure moviegoers to the cineplex. This is the first Marvel flick to qualify as a comedy, however.

Also, the production has a troubled history. Beginning in 2006, Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) began work on the script and even shot some test footage as late as 2011. Citing creative differences, he departed the project in 2014.

NOW PLAYING The Trouble with Cali Laurence LaBoeuf, Paul Sorvino 1/2 (as drama) HHHH (as comedy) — Laughing Comes to Crying Troubling beyond belief in regards to just about everything in front of or behind the camera, a cult classic comes to life in the form of Cali, which unintentionally keeps the audience in stitches thanks to hammy acting, over-the-top dialogue, nebulous plotting and pure bland ambition. In this unrated (suggested rating: NC-17) drama, naïve teenager Cali Bluejones (LaBoeuf) struggles to forward her career as a ballerina when her parents’ (Sorvino, Glynnis O’Connor) marriage hits the skids. In Scranton, starscrewing politicians funded this production on veteran film actor Paul Sorvino’s promise that, at the very least, the movie warranted a television deal. A decade on, the star of A Touch of Class, Goodfellas and NBC’s Law & Order blames bad publicity on Cali’s inability to secure a distribution deal. Sorvino would’ve at least maintained integrity by ‘fessing up to the fact that the script for Cali was nothing but Trouble.

Instead, moviegoers get subjected to both stock dialogue and left field criminally insane gems like “Like my kindred Caligula, I am re-whelped .. .torn out of the old bitch’s womb.” Also, Filmmaking 101 rules get violated to such a degree that you wonder if anybody on set ever worked on anything but an Internet porn shoot. The transitions fail to establish settings. The editing presents a slapdash pacing. The lighting goes from light to dark and back again within seconds. The music sounds like Twin Peaks’ Angelo Badalamenti spontaneously combusted and his smoking remains wrote a piano score. The performances — save for the lovely Laurence LaBoeuf, who earnestly tries acting her way out of this flaming bag of doggie doo doo — make a discount Chinese buffet out of the scenery. For the first 10 minutes of this magpie opus, you chuckle almost embarrassingly, unsure of the material’s intention. The flick is listed as a black comedy, but this is just a smokescreen— Cali had to be intended as a halfpenny soap opera. No one in their right mind would lump domestic violence, suicide, date rape and David Lynch-style dream sequences involving horses under a funny heading, right? Once you giddily throw yourself into this hilariously horrendous abyss, the laughs never let up until a darkly daffy climax. Never fear, however, as the guffaws pick right back up as you watch the most expensive practical joke ever list one of the Lackawanna County commissioners who helped bankroll this project with taxpayers’ money (a man now serving hard time for bribery charges, no less) as executive producer. As a cultish midnight screening comedy in the tradition of Showgirls and The Room, The Trouble with Cali sees a bright future. As a gleefully bad drama, however, tomorrow proves as nebulous as Mira Sorvino’s indistinguishable accent in the movie.

Minions Voices of Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm HH — Regrettable Me Though hardly Despicable, light confection Minions definitely proves the least delectable in this series.

In this G-rated animated prequel/spin-off of Despicable Me, Minions Stuart, Kevin and Bob are recruited

by Scarlet Overkill (Bullock), a super-villain who, alongside her inventor husband Herb (Hamm), hatches a plot to take over the world. Oh, some chuckles arise, but — with all of the frenetic bumbling and shear multitude of colorful characters — audiences are right to expect more by way of out-and-out belly laughs.

Ironically, as the premise lays out, these goggle-wearing, overall-clad, yellow spuds really don’t serve a purpose unless they have someone evil to follow. Sidekicks elevated to stars, their standalone flick pretty much bears this out as well. Aimless and slipshod, the story shows them going through a succession of ill-fated overlords until they meet the strongest weak contender, a thinly drawn female baddie who’s got nothing on Cruella de Ville or Edna Mode. Gags and lines get thrown at moviegoers but very few stick to the funny bone. If family flicks survived on pure likability, then the undeniably cute gibbering Minions would score high marks. In an age when Pixar (Inside Out) knocks it out of the park more often than not, however, such entertainment comes down to the talent — not beauty — portion of the program. With Penguins of Madagascar, DreamWorks Animation took some winning characters and transitioned them from supporting stooges to marquee players in a spy film-inspired romp that was highly entertaining.

The Gallows Reese Mishler, Pfeifer Brown H — Zero School Spirit An interesting idea that gets hung up with little or no scares, The Gallows quickly makes moviegoers want to break their necks rather than sit through a boring attempt at shock theater. In this R-rated foundfootage horror flick, students at a school resurrect a failed show in a misguided attempt to honor the anniversary of an on-stage tragedy … but soon discover that some things are better left alone. Especially at the outset, very little horror rises to the surface of this wannabe spooky tale, which — ironically — sets the flick on a trip to the critical hangman from the get-go. You can’t present a ghost story and hold off on any hair-raising for two-thirds of the movie! If this time was spent developing characters or laying down integral plot points, that would be commendable. There would have to be characters with more heft than paper dolls and an actual plot for this to work, however. Plus, The Gallows falls under the horror heading, so the prime directive is to scare the bejesus out the audience and get to it quick. Even when the jump cuts and sound blasting start though, you feel like you’re being hit with the oldest scare tricks in the book … if the book is a Casper the Friendly Ghost coloring book. Beating the found footage genre back into the grave of the Blair Witch, this flick represents a stab at capturing the success of Paranormal Activity minus any actual activity.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Stop Making Sense was originally the name of the film and music soundtrack produced by the Talking Heads in the 1980s and now it is the central theme of your horoscope. I think your brain would benefit from a thorough washing. That’s why I invite you to scour it clean of all the dust and cobwebs and muck that have accumulated there since its last scrub a few months back. One of the best ways to launch this healing purge is, of course, to flood all the neural pathways with a firehose-surge of absurdity, jokes and silliness. As the wise physician of the soul, Dr. Seuss, said, “I like nonsense. It wakes up the brain cells.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When you read a book that has footnotes, you tend to regard the footnotes as being of secondary importance.

Although they may add color to the text’s main messages, you can probably skip them without losing much of the meaning.

But I don’t recommend this approach in the coming days. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, footnotes will carry crucial information that’s important for you to know. I mean this in a metaphorical sense as you live your life as well as in the literal act of reading books. Pay close attention to the afterthoughts, the digressions and the asides.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The English word “quiddity” has two contrary definitions. It can refer to a trivial quibble.

Or it can mean the essential nature of a thing — the quality that makes it unique.

I suspect that in the coming weeks you will get numerous invitations to engage with quiddities of both types.

Your first task will be to cultivate an acute ability to know which is which. Your second task: Be relentless in avoiding the trivial quibbles as you home in on the essential nature of things.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “A poet must not cross an interval with a step when he can cross

32 J u l y 1 6 , 2 0 1 5

it with a leap.” That’s an English translation of an aphorism written by French author Joseph Joubert.

Another way to say it might be, “A smart person isn’t drab and plodding as she bridges a gap, but does it with high style and brisk delight.” A further alternative: “An imaginative soul isn’t predictable as she travels over and around obstacles, but calls on creative magic to fuel her ingenious liberations.” Please use these ideas during your adventures in the coming weeks, Cancerian.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): July is barely half over, but your recent scrapes with cosmic law have already earned you the title of “The Most Lyrically Tormented Struggler of the Month.” Another few days of this productive mayhem and you may be eligible for inclusion in the Guinness Book of World Records. I could see you being selected as “The Soul Wrangler with the Craziest Wisdom” or “The Mythic Hero with the Most Gorgeous Psychospiritual Wounds.” But it’s my duty to let you know that you could also just walk away from it all. Even if you’re tempted to stick around and see how much more of the entertaining chaos you can overcome, it might be better not to.

In my opinion, you have done enough impossible work for now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “People who have their feet planted too firmly on the ground have difficulty getting their pants off,” said author Richard Kehl. That’s good advice for you in the coming weeks.

To attract the help and resources you need, you can’t afford to be overly prim or proper. You should, in fact, be willing to put yourself in situations where it would be easy and natural to remove your pants, throw off your inhibitions and dare to be surprising. If you’re addicted to business-asusual, you may miss opportunities to engage in therapeutic play and healing pleasure.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “A failure is a person who has blundered but is not able to cash in on the experience,” wrote American author Elbert

be a weakness? I can. I suspect that if you rely too much on the power you already possess and the skills you have previously mastered, you may miss important clues about what you need to learn next. The most valuable lessons of the coming weeks could come to you as you’re practicing the virtues of humility and innocence and receptivity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In Margaret Mitchell’s novel Gone with the Wind, Rhett Butler delivers the following speech to Scarlett O’Hara: “I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken — and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.” Your oracle for the near future, Aquarius, is to adopt an approach that is the exact opposite of Rhett Butler’s. Patiently gather the broken fragments and glue them together again. I predict that the result will not only be as good as new; it will be better. That’s right: The mended version will be superior to the original.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Australian actress Rebel Wilson has appeared in several successful movies, including Bridesmaids, Bachelorette and Pitch Perfect. But she didn’t start out to be a film star. Mathematics was her main interest. Then, while serving as a youth ambassador in South Africa at age 18, she contracted malaria. At the height of her sickness, she had hallucinatory visions that she would one day be “a really good actress who also won an Oscar.” The visions were so vivid that she decided to shift her career path. I foresee the possibility that you will soon experience a version of her epiphany.

During a phase when you’re feeling less than spectacular, you may get a glimpse of an intriguing future possibility.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY

Hubbard. In light of this formulation, I’m pleased to announce that you are likely to achieve at least one resounding success in the coming weeks. At this juncture in your destiny, you know exactly how to convert a past mistake into a future triumph. A gaffe that once upon a time brought you anguish or woe will soon deliver its fully ripened teaching, enabling you to claim a powerful joy or joyful power.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The poet Mary Ruefle describes reading books as “a great extension of time, a way for one person to live a thousand and one lives in a single lifespan.” Are there other ways to do that?

Watching films and plays and TV shows, of course.

You can also listen to and empathize with people as they tell you their adventures. Or you can simply use your imagination to visualize what life is like for others. However you pursue this expansive pleasure, Scorpio, I highly recommend it. You are set up to absorb the equivalent of many years’ experience in a few short weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian rapper Nicki Minaj is not timid about going after what she wants. She told Cosmopolitan magazine that she’s “high-maintenance in bed.” Every time she’s involved in a sexual encounter, she demands to have an orgasm. In accordance with the current astrological omens, Sagittarius, I invite you to follow her lead — not just during your erotic adventures, but everywhere else, too. Ask for what you want, preferably with enough adroitness to actually obtain what you want. Here’s another critical element to keep in mind: To get exactly what you want, you must know exactly what you want.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A college basketball player named Mark Snow told reporters that “Strength is my biggest weakness.” Was he trying to be funny? No. Was he a bit dim-witted? Perhaps.

But I’m not really interested in what he meant by his statement. Rather, I want to hijack it for my own purpose, which is to recommend it as a meditation for you in the coming weeks. Can you think of any ways that your strength might at least temporarily

Up Close & personal a Force to be reckoned With Angelo Maruzzelli’s life is surrounded by music and he wouldn’t have it any other way. Since Maruzzelli was a kid, he loved playing instruments and was fascinated by how songs were recorded.

His persistence with practicing music as well as his perseverance with contacting Mark Dennebaum, owner of TwentyFiveEight studios, served him well.

He now works as an audio engineer at The Stude at TwentyFiveEight studios and is a founding member of the local band, LondonForce. When he’s not busy recording artists in the studio or performing live shows with his band, Maruzzelli has been working on his own original songs and hopes to release them on an EP in the future. Until then, fans can hear LondonForce play cover music of various genres including rock, dance, alternative and electronic. Meet Angelo Maruzzelli ...

Tell us about yourself.

I graduated from Tunkhannock Area High School and I went straight into having a career. My daytime job is making pizza at my family’s restaurant, Antonio’s Pizzeria, and when I leave there in the early afternoon, I teach music recording class at a community arts center in Scranton. Then, after that, I go to The Stude at TwentyFiveEight, a recording studio, where I am an audio engineer.

What do you do as an audio engineer?

I run sessions there. We work with all types of musicians. Right now I’ve been working with a group of rappers, a female pop pianist and we’ve had country musicians, hard rock bands — all the way to business people coming in to do voiceovers for bank commercials. We make sure clients are satisfied with the end result and are always looking for more artists.

How did you start working at The Stude?

When I was a senior in high school, my friends decided to schedule a lot of study halls. I felt like that was a complete waste of my time. I went through the co-op program at my school and I started looking around the area for recording studios. When I was about 13 years old, I started getting interested in music production. I started

How did you come up with the name LondonForce?

My dad and I spent one night going through tons of different band names. We searched everywhere we could find, looking for inspiration, scrolling through articles online and in books. Eventually we stumbled onto this educational chemistry site.

One of the terms we found on there was called “London forces.” I’m honestly not clear on what the actual scientific meaning is, but we felt like the term had a ring to it. So we stitched the words together and called it LondonForce and thought it would be memorable for people. It doesn’t necessarily have a sentimental meaning to us, but it represents us more looking for something that was unique.

/CULTURE

thinking about how to actually record music and how a song is put together and how it becomes as good or bad as it does. I started getting my own equipment. When I was in 10th grade, my dad helped me build a home studio in our basement and we sound proofed the whole room.

My senior year English teacher, Katie Wisnosky, knew Mark Dennebaum, who owned a recording studio and she gave me his phone number. So I started calling him all the time. He was busy, so I left him voicemail after voicemail telling him that I wanted to come and intern at his studio. Finally, one day my phone rang and it was Mark and he said “Hey, is this Angelo?” I said “Yeah. Is this Mr. Dennebaum?” He said, “Yeah. Call me Mark.

You’ve called me like 100 times in the last week.

What do you want?” I told him that I wanted to work at his studio and see what it was like and I wanted to intern and learn. Then he said, “OK. Will you stop calling me if I let you come in and look at it?” (Laughs) I said, “Yes. I’ll stop bothering you.”

He asked me what I was doing that night and I went down and met with him and he hired me as an intern that night. I’ve worked there ever since.

I interned for about a year and, once I graduated high school, they hired me and I’ve been engineering there ever since.

Do you play any original music?

Not yet. I have finally got to a point in my music career that I have found my own self. It’s easy to lose your identity in the cover world, though it’s fun. I struggled with that for a little while because I felt like I had my own voice to offer and needed to discover it. Within the last year, my original work has really come together for me. I’ve worked hard and have been writing on my own time. Within the next year I feel like LondonForce has a big year ahead of us, but I also feel like I have a big year ahead.

Where did your love of music come from?

When he was younger, my dad, Chris Maruzzelli, played in Dead Letters, which was a local rock band. There were always bands over my house at night practicing. He was always out playing these awesome big gigs. Some little kids want to be a police officer or an astronaut when they grow up, but I wanted to be a rock star. My dad definitely inspired my love for music.

What obstacle has LondonForce faced as a band and how have you overcome them?

We’ve had a lot of lineup changes. It made booking gigs hard. As of right now, LondonForce is a five-person band and I’m the only original member. In lineup changes with bands, a lot of times it scares people away. People can think, “Oh, I like that band, but they have a new bass player or they have a new drummer. They’re probably not good anymore.” But all of our fans have been What instruments do you play? so welcoming to any of our new members. We’ve I started playing drums when I was in elemennever had bad experiences with lineup changes tary school. When I was 10 years old I started and we’re all friends with each other. We have a playing guitar. From the second I started playing guitar and anytime I was home, it was always in my lot of great supporters and are starting to build a fan base. They’re really what has been making it hand. I was constantly playing. I played in bands with friends of mine throughout middle school and happen for us. They have been passing around the word. I really have all of the people who come high school. to see us to thank for the success that we’ve been having lately and for feeling like the next year only You’re currently in a band called Londonhas better things to bring.

Yes. I started it when I got into 10th grade. It Who are the current members of your band? started with my dad and I. My dad played drums Shannon Walling, our lead vocalist, is the best in the band. We were driving one day listening to female vocalist in the state. We’re lucky to have her the Torches album by Foster the People and we with us.

I love everything about performing. I love singing and playing guitar and playing music and performing while I’m doing that. There isn’t really any other place that I get the thrill that I do when I entertain a crowd of people. I love giving other people excitement and giving them an enjoyable show.

Describe what people can expect when attending a live show?

We have a lot of energy on stage. When you come see us and watch us play, you can see that we’re having a great time performing. I oftentimes wake up the next morning from a gig with whiplash. We rock out and party on stage as much as we want the crowd to party with us. That has always been kind of our philosophy. How can somebody come and enjoy seeing us if we’re not enjoying playing ourselves?

What’s the most challenging thing about being in a band?

Probably not being lazy. (Laughs) Once you’re in a band, it’s easy to just learn all your music and

become stagnant. That has never been a problem for LondonForce, but it’s always something that has challenged us. We’re constantly learning new songs and don’t give ourselves a break. Another challenge would be not doing your “homework” for band practice. If the band decides we’re going to learn a song, we better show up to practice knowing it. We don’t want to waste each others time. Being in LondonForce has definitely taught me what it means to be in a band that’s productive and has always showed up to practice and we come to work.

What future plans do you hope to accomplish?

The biggest goal I want to achieve in the near future is working on my original music. I have some songs I want to start and I think I might be able to be release music in this upcoming year. I hope to have an EP out. I’ve been writing a lot of things that excite me and it has the potential to become something important and mean something to whoever listens to it. I’m just finding the ways to make it work.

psychologically sound stRaight talk FRom syndicated columnist amy alkon Requiem FoR a scReam I’m a 28-year-old woman in a relationship with a really great guy. The problem is, it started as a hookup and I faked my orgasm. I didn’t announce I was having one, but I, um, made certain noises. I was enjoying myself, but I just didn’t feel one coming and I didn’t want him to feel bad. Now that we’re “a thing,” I can’t keep faking, but I’m not sure how to tell him.

— Unsatisfied There are a number of reasons women fake orgasms, like that the guy is taking FOREVER. The woman’s thinking, “What is this, the slow train to Siberia? No, the bus. The slow bus. Over the back roads. With a day trip to Latvia. Hey, driver! This is my stop. Stop the bus, please! I know … maybe this’ll work”: “Aahhhh-aaaaah-AAAAAAAH!” Movies — and not just the dirty ones — also lead to orgasm fakery, giving us distorted expectations of how orgasms look and sound and how quickly they happen for a woman, even in casual sex with a stranger. (Welcome to the toilet stall or car hood insta-gasm!)

Back here in real life, research by sociologist Elizabeth A. Armstrong finds that, on average, in a first or second hookup involving intercourse, a woman has only a 35 percent chance of getting to the big finish (compared with a 75 percent chance if she’s having sex in a relationship). A woman’s chances do increase the more she hooks up with a particular bedfella. But often, until a hookup becomes a regular thing, a man will have his cake and, yes, a woman will have hers, too, but somebody clears the plate before she gets to the frosting.

The value of practice isn’t exactly surprising, considering that even for a guy trying his bestest, hooking up with a new girl can be like driving a rental car: You hit what you think is the turn signal and — oops! — there go the windshield wipers and the car alarm. Of course, it doesn’t help that a woman tends to feel awkward detailing her sexual needs to a man she barely knows: “Hold on — let me pull out the 41-page manual.”

As you’ve discovered, the problem comes when “Hookup Guy” becomes “Boyfriend Guy” and is under the impression that he’s providing happy endings and not the never-ending middle. The right time to correct this is as soon as possible (though not while you’re in bed). Explain why you love sex with him and then confess: You faked it the first time and didn’t quite know how to roll back from that.

Pledge that in the future you’ll only cheer when

your team is winning and tell him that the next time you’re in bed, you’ll show him what works for you.

(Basically, guide him like you would a fireman: “This way! No, over here! HURRY!!!”) After a few test runs, he should feel secure that if you’re screaming during sex it’s because he’s truly showing you a good time — or because you rolled over on a Hot Wheels truck his nephew left in his bed.

Flee maRket capitalism You recently printed a letter from a woman who had decided to stop dating so she could make better choices about men. I also decided to do this, though I haven’t had her trouble in sticking to my plan. The thing is, since I stopped dating, I have been deluged with suitors. Coincidence? Or do men sense when you’ve packed away your desperation?

— Crowded Men, like all of us, are most attracted to what’s somewhat out of reach. Had Rapunzel been sitting behind an unlocked window on the first floor, she would have been just another chick with a hairbrush.

Value is actually a relative thing. A lack of supply — something being (or seeming) rare and hard to get — tends to increase demand (as in, desirability). Consider the pricing of different sorts of rocks and why you see Jared ads for expensive diamond rings and not expensive princess-cut gray speckled pebbles: “Just $5,901.76, for this lovely bit of roadside gravel!”

Understanding the value of scarcity can help you transform how you act with men — and, in turn, how they treat you. There’s this mistaken notion that you have to feel secure before you can act that way.

Actually, you can simply act more secure — though it won’t feel “natural” at first — and you should find that men respond to you as if you are more secure.

Combine that with a mindset of “I hope I like them” instead of “I hope they like me” and you should find yourself coolly considering prospective suitors — as opposed to answering the door to a confused pizza delivery guy with “I cleared a drawer for you. Pick a toothbrush.”
