Ranking SupeR Bowl halftime ShowS

By Joel oliphint

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, January 31, 2019

The Super Bowl halftime show has come a long way since the inaugural event in 1967, when the University of Arizona and Grambling State marching bands entertained the crowd. (Apparently Grambling made an impression; the band returned the next year, then again in 1975. True story. No charge for that.)

Nowadays the Super Bowl halftime show is a cultural event responsible for many ill-advised medleys and the term “wardrobe malfunction.”

So before every sensible American roots against Tom Brady and the Patriots in Super Bowl LIII on Sunday, Feb. 3, we thought we’d look back at some memorable Super Bowl halftime shows over the years — the good, the bad and the unconscionable, ranked from worst to best.

4

“It’s a Small World” (1977) If you thought the Disney ride and the song were bad, just wait till you add in Mickey Mouse sweater vests and some shaky, nosebleed camera work.

Be Bop Bamboozled (1989) This performance featured “Elvis Presto,” which sounds like a mashup of an Elvis Presley impersonator and a magician because that’s exactly what it was.

Up with People (multiple) This Lawrence Welk-like group wore polyester out-

Michael Jackson fits and plastic smiles and sang themed medleys in four Super Bowl halftime shows, which is four times too many.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye (1995) This was an elaborate theatrical production involving an Indiana Jones storyline (minus Harrison Ford) with a villain who stole the Lombardi Trophy. Eventually, Tony Bennett becomes involved (of course), as does Patti LaBelle (why not?), and, naturally, it’s all topped off with music from “The Lion King.”

Bruce Springsteen (2009) Springsteen and the E Street Band were pretty good, but I’ll never forget when Springsteen slid across the stage on his knees — right into the camera.

Tom Petty (2008) A set list consisting of “American Girl,” “I Won’t Back Down,” “Free Fallin’” and “Runnin’ Down a Dream” is hard to top, and the producers wisely

decided to keep things toned-down (by Super Bowl standards, at least), making it feel like 12 blissful minutes of a Petty arena show.

Michael Jackson (1993) “Heal the World” is not a good song, but MJ could put on a show. It’s also the Super Bowl that ushered in the era of huge, glitzy productions headlined by pop stars.

Beyonce (2013) Yes, she also showed up alongside Bruno Mars and Coldplay in 2016, but in 2013 Queen Bey had the stage to herself — as it should be.

U2 (2002) There was no better band to lift up America in the months after 9/11. Go back and revisit the stirring “MLK” tribute.

Prince (2007) Normally a rainstorm in the middle of a halftime show would be a total downer. But when it’s Prince performing “Purple Rain” in a downpour?

That’s perfection.

celia peTers explores aFroFuTurism in ForThcoming Film

by erica Thompson

hen Celia Peters was living in New York City, she faced a situation in the subway that left her paralyzed with indecision.

“I saw a person who was in the corner on the ground who had shot up and still had the needle sticking out of their arm,” she said. “I stood there for a long time until I saw them breathe.”

The scene left her with several questions. What was her responsibility in that situation? Was it her place to tell someone not to use drugs without knowing them or their circumstances? But what if their life was in danger?

PAGE 10

Your guide to math and science. She studied political science as an undergrad, then began pursuing a graduate degree in psychology at New York University before realizing her passion was in film.

“All of my extracurricular activities were film-related,” she said. “I eventually got to a fork in the road.”

Peters has immersed herself in the Columbus film community, even landing a residency at the Wexner Center to complete her last short film, “Mission.” She recently presented a “Godspeed”-based installation at the “Wonderball” event at the Columbus Museum of Art. She has also impressed others in the industry, like cinematographer Jendra Jarnagin, who is shooting “Godspeed.”

“She sent me the script and I absolutely loved it,” Jarnagin said on a call from the Sundance Film Festival. “I thought it was very unique and bold and creative and visual. And I just loved her taste and her style.”

And Jarnagin feels optimistic about the film’s reception as the industry becomes more diverse. “I’ve seen a huge change in the past few years in the level of interest and commitment to … really open the doors that have been closed to qualified, professional women,” she said.

Films like “Black Panther” have also shown a growing platform for Afrofuturism, a concept that dates back to jazz musician Sun Ra, who released science fiction film “Space is the Place” in 1974.

“Space for him was a place where black people could go and be free and be happy and … escape all the turmoil of the ’60s,” Peters said.

But beyond that, Afrofuturism also inspires black people to “choose an alternative to everything that was dictated in your mind in terms of your creative life [or] how you existed,” she said. “Your state of mind could be different.”

As an Afrofuturism film, “Godspeed” will further increase representation for black audiences. “[People] don’t understand how significant it is for black sci-fi fans to see a story where they are reflected in the characters who are driving the story,” she said. “And it’s not about them being oppressed because they’re black.”

“I went back and forth with myself, and so I made a film about it,” she said.

For a short film called “Commuters,” Peters recreated the scene with an actor to observe how real passersby would respond.

“A lot of people didn’t look, [and] a lot of people didn’t even really notice, which is incredible,” she said. “I think that a lot of people who live in the city get to be desensitized. … But for me, I wasn’t used to it, and I really didn’t want to get used to it.”

Since then, Peters has been creating more films that address complex questions that society faces or will grapple with in the future. For example, her short film “Roxë15” explored the boundary between virtual reality and physical reality. “[It’s] about a woman who is a virtual reality programmer,” Peters said. “She’s in a program that she created, and she encounters something she didn’t put there. … You’re left with the question of, ‘How will this affect her?’ I didn’t answer the question because I don’t really know.”

Peters, who relocated to Columbus for a job, is currently raising money for her new science fiction film, “Godspeed.” It was inspired by a troubling social observation.

“I started being very frustrated with encountering people of color and black people who were self-hating, and who were contemptuous of other people of color and other black people,” she said.

“I was just like, ‘I can’t even understand this. It’s bad enough to deal with prejudice from other people.’”

In response, Peters created a black female protagonist in “Godspeed” who is struggling with her identity. A brainy tech editor, Brandy becomes obsessed with creating an algorithm to help her company. She eventually discovers the algorithm plays a greater role in her life, as she learns she is not human.

“I would hope that people understand that, yes, there are mathematically inclined black women out there who just like that stuff,” Peters said. “That’s just as real and valid, if not more so, than a lot of what is shown in film.”

Peters is similar to her protagonist in that she also grew up with an interest in

Q&A with JArmo

By Jim Fischer

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, January 31, 2019

Fresh off the NHL’s All-Star break (congrats to Cam Atkinson and Seth Jones) and at the nominal, if not numerical, halfway point of the 2018-19 season, Straight Jackets was fortunate to get some time with Blue Jackets General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen. It’s been an interesting season in CBJ-land, in particular with respect to the ongoing contract situations of both goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and forward Artemi Panarin.

The league’s trade deadline is just about a month out, as well, so there were no shortage of topics to address.

10

The team recently added Martin St. Louis as a Special Teams Consultant. I assume that’s something you see as addressing a shortcoming with the club?

We’re always looking for ways to get better and we’ve had several conversations with the coaching staff. The power play is one concern we’ve had pretty much all season, and [Head Coach John Tortorella] has a long relationship with [St. Louis], and they came up with the idea that this was something that could help

Seth Jones us get to the next level. I love the open-mindedness of the coaches, where they don’t have big egos and they’re looking for ways to get better even if it’s looking for someone from the outside.

The [contract] situation with Artemi Panarin is ongoing.

There were supposed to have been some meetings over the AllStar break. Has anything changed with regard to the team’s approach to Panarin in the past few days?

Nothing has changed.

We’re still status quo.

Do you expect that situation to be resolved in the near future?

I won’t speculate on that. There are two sides.

We know we want to keep him. We’ve made it clear he would be in our long-term plans, but if it doesn’t work that way then we’ll move along and we’ll be a strong team in the future even if he decides not to be with us.

The Sergei Bobrovsky situation has also been difficult. Is there anything there that has changed in the past few days?

No. It would be the same answer.

Apart from anything that might happen with those two players, do you anticipate being active at the trade deadline?

This time of year everyone is curious, I’m sure, from the locker room to the fan base.

We’ll see what the marketplace looks like.

I think we have a pretty good team. Are we looking for ways to get better?

Always. There could be an opportunity presented in front of us that we think is going to make us better not only this spring but into the future. We had some rentals last year, but they made sense for us at the time and the cost was something we could accept. That’s basically the way we’re going to look at this year again. If we’re going to go into the rental market, it would have to be something that is reasonable — not something that would weaken our team in the long-term.

We do believe in our core group here. We’re in a good position to build around that, but there are no shortcuts. … We’re each one of us trying to improve every day. That’s the way we run our business.

Columbus Alternative High School

schools FAll APArt By scott woods I was recently invited to be one of several judges at a community poetry slam that took place at Fort Hayes. There was a lot on the line: a pair of tickets to “Hamilton” for the winners (both youth and adult competitions), which in 2019 is a lot like winning a Willy Wonka gold ticket.

In the youth slam there was a poet whose piece made me sit up straight in my seat. At first, I thought the poem merely possessed an alarming complexity for a high school effort.

As the student continued performing, it became apparent that it wasn’t just good for a high school poet.

By the end of the night, I determined that he had perhaps delivered the best poem of the entire night.

Driving home, I considered that the poet was a student at what would have been my alma mater, Columbus Alternative High School, a school from which I was expelled. This was back when CAHS was

considered special, a mill that churned out talented and bright futures as a matter of course.

And then I considered that, as I write this, CAHS is literally falling apart.

In the past week, reports detailing the state of CAHS have come out, and the conditions would be laughable if they weren’t so frightening: dripping and falling ceilings, rampant pests, no air conditioning — all of which is compounded by severe overcrowding of a building designed for elementary children. The students themselves are lobbying to get an inspection while their principal is busy trying to assure the public that things aren’t that bad, admitting only that CAHS presents “challenging” conditions.

Let’s get something straight: Bats in the hallways aren’t a challenge to learning. They’re a health hazard, and responsible for at least two Stephen King stories that I can think of.

The temptation to

hold up this exceptional poet is great. It is the kind of story that makes for great speeches from school administrators and politicians. But the poet composed that amazing piece of art in spite of his school, not because of it, and as a city we should be ashamed that the river flows in that direction.

Students living in a city that constantly cites the resiliency of its markets as reasons to barely tax developers for money that is supposed to go toward schools should be challenged by tests and their attention spans, not rodents and exploding transformer fires.

We should feel lucky that such a student was able to overcome such adversity. We should also feel ashamed that he had to overcome such obstacles at all. I shudder to think how much brilliance we have effectively erased through our benign neglect and shouldershrugging march toward different civic priorities.

“Hamilton” It’s in Columbus for the next several days, but it’s hardly new, nor is the fuss over it. But this seems like as good a time as any to laud a cultural phenomenon that has history people in the theater, theater people digging into history books, and grownups who’ve long since bailed on their interest in either finding themselves at least knowing who Alexander hamilton and linManuel Miranda are. the show is an incomplete lesson in either subject, but that’s still gotta count for something.

Vivi Bubble Tea If the bubble-gum pink interiors don’t convince you enough, this shop’s authentic Taiwanese bubble teas are to die for.

Our collaborative arts scene The Columbus arts scene is special because it’s uplifting. Artists are always collaborating and arts organizations are always partnering. We learn from each other and feel stronger together. By collaborating, artists and organizations are able to engage new audiences and offer new and exciting programming.

Peking Hot Pot If you’ve never tried hot pot before, I suggest you try Peking Hot Pot on Bethel Road. It’s kind of like fondue but wayyy cheaper and better. It’s great for a big meal with friends, meetings, or you can just go by yourself. It’s pretty much good for any occasion.

MadTree PSA A lot of times a session beer can just taste like a watered-down version of the original, but the PSA (“Proper Session Ale”) from this Cincinnati brewer is an American Pale Ale that doesn’t sacrifice flavor in exchange for a low-range alcohol content (4.5 percent). It’s refreshing, easy-drinking but still plenty interesting.

—Joel Oliphint Bands to Watch Putting together the event, getting photos, interviewing, transcribing and writing, it can be easy to lose track of the most important element — that’d be the music — in the lead-up to Bands to watch. So it’s always nice to arrive at the venue and have the chance to sit back and just enjoy the performers. this year was no different, and I genuinely loved watching snarls, winston hytwr, the Bascinets, Kashis Keyz and wyd take their turns onstage. let’s do it again next year.

Give Yoga I never thought I would like going to yoga class until I left in a blissful daze after my first class at Give Yoga a year ago. I frequent the newly remodeled studio in Clintonville, but they’ve also got one in German Village. They teach in the style of Baptiste Power yoga, which encourages a supportive yet athletically challenging practice.

cultural policy in two of Beijing’s famous arts districts, 798 Arts District and Songzhuang Artist Village. My ultimate dream is to take Columbus art collectors to Beijing and introduce them to Chinese contemporary art!

Kashis Keyz the 26-year-old rapper was one of our 2019 Bands to watch. he added a burst of energy to the showcase at Ace of Cups. his lyrical delivery was as impressive as his live band. there was plenty of participation from loyal fans in the audience and from newcomers he easily won over. he also took over our Instagram account and ran with the opportunity, signing copies of Alive, promoting local businesses and going live from his bedroom. You can’t help but smile when he’s around.

Beloved local musician and coffee shop owner Jovan Karcic embraces ‘the sound of freedom’ on divinely inspired new solo album

12

C

olumbus ex-pat Tim Easton once fronted the Haynes Boys, a band that dropped a self-titled alt-country classic in 1996 and then never released another album. In the years since, Easton pursued a solo career, and Haynes Boys drummer Jovan Karcic went on to play in a string of revered Columbus bands: Gaunt, Burn Barrel, Scrawl, the Black Swans and more.

In 2015, the Haynes Boys re-released its sole album on vinyl, and in the months leading up to the release there was talk of a band reunion to celebrate the reissue. Karcic, though, wasn’t convinced.

He didn’t want to live in the past. If the band wanted to write and play something new, then sure. But a reunion that only rehashed old material? It wasn’t appealing.

Still, Karcic didn’t want to let down his bandmates and friends, especially those who were traveling long distances to make the reunion happen. Eventually he relented. And so, on the last weekend of June in 2015, the Haynes Boys reunited for two Columbus shows — one at Ace of Cups, one at ComFest.

“I had a bad feeling about it beforehand. I called it a Civil War reenactment,” Karcic said on a recent evening at his cozy Clintonville coffee shop, Yeah, Me Too.

“The shows and the actual playing were fine. Music is awesome, and it heals. But then afterward I felt dirty: Am I just a nostalgia act now? Is this who I am?”

On July 23, 2015, he decided to channel his anger and frustration into something creative. “With the money that I made from [the reissue], I went to the music store with my kid, who was 2 years old at the time, and bought a MIDI controller,” Karcic said, pulling out an instrument that looks like a squat keyboard with extra knobs and buttons. “You press on the keys, and it sends this information out of this cable into that computer and triggers a flipping multitude of sounds. It’s

without limits.”

The idea of unlimited sounds was a head-exploding thought for someone who, as a kid, used to attempt multitrack recording with two cassette decks. Later, he graduated to a four-track recorder. In the ’90s, Karcic’s buddies jokingly dubbed their cheaply recorded, lo-fi songs “the sound of poverty.” In fact, a 1994 compilation of singles by local Anyway Records bands (Gaunt, Greenhorn, New Bomb Turks) was titled The Sound of Poverty.

But this new piece of gear was different. “I called it the sound of freedom,” Karcic said. “It was really exciting. I had never used MIDI. I’m from rock and roll.

I’m used to playing guitars and drums.

When this technology first started coming around in the ’80s, I totally didn’t like it.”

Years removed from his punk-rock days in Gaunt, Karcic heard these synthesized sounds in a new light, and he liked it.

On July 24 he began writing and recording music for a solo album, 2015, out now on Scioto Records.

“The project had, and still has, this momentum. From the beginning until now there’s been this pull. I always say stuff like, ‘the universe,’ but you can call it whatever you want. You can call it God, providence. I truly feel like there’s been a hand,” he said. “It was, for some reason, meant to be.”

Y

“The project had, and still has, this momentum. From the beginning until now there’s been this pull.”

In July of 2015, he often had his then-2year-old daughter with him in the shop, but for three days a week his mother-inlaw watched her, and on those days Karcic would sit in a chair behind the coffee shop counter and work on music.

“When you walk in the door, you can’t see me, or maybe you saw my head, but then the door opens and I pop up,” Karcic said. “There were a few people that knew what I was doing, but for the most part it was in secret. I tried to keep it all out of view, but sometimes a cord would be out.

There was a lady that lived [nearby] who definitely busted me a couple times.”

The process for 2015 was distinctly different from his first two solo albums, 2010 and 2011, which he made at home with an eight-track recorder. For this one, Karcic used the MIDI keyboard and a laptop to make 55 musical beds between July and December of 2015, then switched gears to lyrics, working to get a direct stream of thoughts from his head to his notebook.

Next, Karcic listened to the music he recorded while looking through his notebook, and he started to notice certain words lining up with certain recordings. “When you get your microphone out and start singing the lyrics over the music, suddenly the skeleton of the song has muscles on it,” he said. “It starts to feel more of a piece.”

The process wasn’t without hiccups.

Sometimes the noisy refrigerator would sully a vocal take or a customer would

tracks, it was a pinch-me moment for both Hanlon and Karcic.

Hanlon helped Karcic whittle 2015 down to 11 songs that tell a story. “I felt like he wanted something more personal,” Hanlon said. “He seemed to be writing about himself more.”

“There’s an arc to 2015,” Karcic said.

“There’s a hill right in the middle of the album — the long song [‘Feet on the Ground’] with all the classical instruments on it. The past is side A, and Side B is the crest of the hill. … Once you’re over the hill, which I am, you can’t see what’s behind you.”

Still, Karcic is sometimes wistful about the past. On side A track “Larry’s,” he recalls the quirky campus bar. “There was pinball and pool and poetry … The tabletops are carved with history’s initials,” he sings amid a wash of electronic beats and synthesized strings, concluding: “This crazy place changed so many lives.”

Karcic similarly acknowledges how his musical past is inseparable from this record, even if it sounds nothing like those projects. “No one would care about this album except for the fact that I played with these amazing songwriters like Marcy Mays and Sue Harshe [of Scrawl], Jerry [Wick of Gaunt], Jerry DeCicca [of the Black Swans],” he said. “I wouldn’t be the same person. I wouldn’t have the same skills. I’ve learned so much over the years just being in the same room as those people.”

On side B track “Deal an Ace,” Karcic takes a less-nostalgic approach to the past, singing, “Damn the dark days of my youth.”

“It’s my first being-a-dad song,” Karcic said. “It’s like, oh, this is what life is like when you have a kid? This is pretty awesome. If I could contrast this with back then, that doesn’t even compare.”

Karcic’s current life also looks quite different from his 2015 existence. He now has two kids, and at least one of them is always in the shop. It’s tougher to find time to write and record. But Karcic is chipping away at the next album, 2016.

“If I reach my goal before I die, I’ll have 10 solo albums,” he said.

Chances are 2016 won’t closely resemble 2015. Karcic’s aim is to continually grow and change, and making 2015 has helped him do just that. “As a result of this album, I feel like I’m slightly more opened up than I was,” he said. “I’m starting to recognize that I was born shy. I was born introverted. I was born the way that I am.

But I feel like there are some cracks now.”

eah, Me Too is a tiny, unassuming coffee shop on Indianola Avenue, tucked into a strip of retailers bookended by movie house Studio 35 to the north and beer shop Savor Growl to the south. Even with “COFFEE” spelled out across the top windows, it’s easy to miss at first glance. You can’t call to check on the shop’s hours because there’s no phone, and you can’t look it up online because there’s no website. There’s a coffee roaster to the left and a small ledge mounted on a brightly colored wall to the right, but no seats. It’s the definition of a no-frills, DIY shop.

For the last 10 years, I’ve stopped in semi-regularly for coffee at Yeah, Me Too, which gets its moniker from the 1995 Gaunt album of the same name. There’s a simple, predictable cadence to the experience. Ever since Karcic’s former business partner, Sam Brown, bowed out about six years ago, it’s just Karcic behind the counter (Brown also played in Gaunt and has kept busy gigging in bands like Operators and Divine Fits). Usually I’d order a cup of French-press coffee in one of two sizes, maybe a bag of freshly roasted, aromatic beans to go with it, and I’d ask Karcic how his day was going, knowing exactly how he’d answer.

“I accept it,” he’d say, sounding Zen because he’d thought about it and meant it, not because a yoga teacher told him to. Karcic is purposeful in his actions and choices. If you catch a smile and a glint in his eye, it’s the real thing, not a forced attempt at customer service.

Karcic is inordinately good at gratefully accepting his circumstances while also looking forward with creative restlessness.

come in at just the wrong time. “I kind of learned to love it, just because there was so much positive happening that anything that distracted from it, it wasn’t enough to kill the buzz,” Karcic said. “It was a joy to wake up in the morning because I wanted to come to work, and also I got to do this in between customers.”

Along the way, some of those customers, like Sharon Udoh, became integral parts of the album. “I was trying to find a morning coffee routine on my way to work, and I remembered Yeah, Me Too and stopped in,” said Udoh, who performs as Counterfeit Madison. “I kept coming in.

This dude with the most beautiful hair and wildest eyes became part of my regular morning routine. ... It’s also some of the best coffee I’ve ever tasted in my life.”

Udoh knew Karcic from his drumming in Alwood Sisters, a band he shares with his wife (Amy Alwood), brother (Milan Karcic) and sister-in-law (Meagan Alwood-Karcic).

But as she continued to pop into the shop she saw musicians like multi-instrumentalist Lisa Bella Donna and drummer Keith Hanlon, the house engineer at Musicol Recording and force behind Scioto Records.

“I began to understand that this man had this beautiful power and network of people drawn to his beauty,” Udoh said.

“This dude is magic!”

Karcic, in turn, believed these talented musicians were in his life for a reason. Soon enough, Hanlon was recording Karcic’s vocals and other tracks at Musicol and releasing 2015 on Scioto Records. Udoh signed on to contribute vocals (along with the Alwood Sisters) and Lisa Bella Donna lent her talents on Mellotron, Polymoog, guitar and more. Karcic’s brother Milan also plays guitar, and nationally renowned harpist Mary Lattimore recorded parts for the song “Gambler’s Dream.”

Looking back, Karcic also sees the hand of the universe at work in a mundane trip to the library. “I went looking for Piano for Dummies and ended up finding it, but alongside it in the music section there was a biography on Prince I’d never read,” said Karcic, who grabbed the book by Matt Thorne. “I start reading the book on Prince, and Brent Fischer’s name keeps coming up, and I’m like, ‘Let’s try to get him.’”

Hanlon reached out to Fischer, a composer and arranger, who agreed to write an arrangement for closing track “Shadow and Echo.” Fischer then recorded a 14-piece orchestra in Hollywood. When he sent the

Joey Aich has designs on being the most famous person to emerge from Woodmere, a small suburb east of Cleveland. On his most recent full-length, If Money Grew on Trees, from 2018, Aich raps about having a statue of himself erected at the busy intersection of Chagrin Boulevard and Brainard Road, outside the CVS in his hometown.

Funny enough, his closest competition at the moment might be his own father, Benjamin Holbert, a former newscaster and the town’s current mayor.

“Growing up, it was super cool.

‘That’s my dad on the news. He’s a superstar,’” said Aich, who recently debuted a new single, “Zoom.” “We’d be in the Tops, which is Giant Eagle now, and people would be coming up to him like, ‘Hey, man. Are … are you that guy from the news?’”

A similarly friendly competition takes place in an ongoing chat thread between Aich, fellow musicians Sarob and Dom Deshawn, artist Hakim Callwood and filmmaker and artist Cam Granger, in which the five keep a running “power ranking,” debating which among them currently has the highest public profile. As of mid-January, Aich listed himself

third behind top-ranked Callwood and runner-up Granger. (Sorry, Sarob.)

Though the five work across disciplines, they collaborate regularly. Aich recently joined Sarob and Deshawn in Carried by Six, a newborn local hip-hop collective that also features rapper Trek Manifest and producers Soop and Snow, and which releases its debut EP on Feb. 4. Aich also filmed the video for If Money Grew on Trees track “Sanity // Testimony” with Granger, while Callwood contributed album art for single “Jenga II.” It was in large part this collaborative artistic community that compelled Aich to relocate to Columbus from Cleveland following a year he spent driving back and forth between the cities, living and working adjacent to Lake Erie and traveling to Columbus on weekends to record. “I went like 10,000 miles over on the car I was leasing, so that was an uncomfortable conversation [with the dealer] trying to get a new one,” he said, and laughed. “But up there I felt stagnant. All my friends were down here creating.”

Few would describe Aich using terms such as “stagnant.” The rapper practically radiates energy; during an early January listening party for

the Carried By Six EP, he tried to hold back so as to not be the first person dancing to the tracks, failing miserably in the task. Indeed, his optimism is so pervasive that on “Lemonheads” he manages to find the positive in imminent planetary destruction, rapping, “Global warming got the birds chirping.”

As Aich has progressed, he’s also learned to embrace his own story, after briefly struggling with concerns that he didn’t have one to tell.

“Maybe it was less worrying that I didn’t have a story to tell, but more like, ‘Why does your story matter?’” said Aich, who grew up idolizing rappers like A Tribe Called Quest, J. Cole and the Pharcyde. “I remember telling people early on in high school, ‘I want to be a rapper.’ … And there were people shutting it down, like, ‘Man, you haven’t struggled.

You’re from the suburbs. … What’s your story?’

“I started to doubt myself … but then as I started to write more, and write about what was going on in my life, it was like, ‘There’s other people that definitely feel like I feel, or have a type of story similar to mine.’ And, for those people, I feel like I owe it to them to talk about it. It was something where I realized, I have a story.

I have a voice.”

tic” turn, on which the seven musicians huddled together as though around a campfire, blended rootsy heel-tappers like “Family Is Family” with more mystical recent turns like “Oh, What a World,” a widescreen wonder on record tapered down into a mossy field recording of plucky strings and wood shop percussion here.

Early in Musgraves’ writing career, she could occasionally lean too hard into hokey wordplay. (See: “Biscuits” and its central line, “Mind your biscuits and life will be gravy,” which reads like something one might find cross-stitched onto a pillow in their great aunt’s house.)

On Golden Hour, though, Musgraves dials it back enough that these occasional grammatical Easter eggs connect. Such was the case on a stately “Space Cowboy,” where Musgraves offered a kiss-off to a Chevy-driving ex, singing, “You can have your space, cowboy,” which is also damn fine comma placement.

Of course, Musgraves maintained a bit of her cheekiness in following the song with a cover of Gloria Gaynor’s timeless disco anthem “I Will Survive,” which included the line, “And so now you’re back from outer space,” helping it play like a rejoinder to the space cowboy she’d kicked to the curb just one song earlier.

In introducing “Follow Your Arrow,” arguably her breakout song, Musgraves noted the country genre can sometimes struggle to cast a wider net. “I know country music isn’t always the most inclusive environment,” she said. But in gliding between small-town country send-ups and more velvety, shimmying pop diamonds, Musgraves has managed to grow at least her little corner of the world in subtle and, yes, wonderful ways.

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, January 31, 2019

Noble Vices singer/guitarist Mark Ferritto took piano lessons as a kid and later played guitar in the high school jazz band. But given his father’s rock ’n’ roll resume, he seemed destined to play loud music on sweaty stages.

“My dad is actually a doctor, but the summer before he decided to go to medical school he actually was a roadie for Led Zeppelin,” Ferritto said. “He got to re-string Jimmy Page’s Les Paul and everything.”

After high school, Ferritto headed to Ohio State, where he joined up with drummer Chris Price in the band Versicolor. When that band fizzled post-graduation, Ferritto and Price formed Noble Vices as a duo, eventually releasing 2015 EP Ondes. About two years ago, the pair added bassist Chris Carter, and recently Noble Vices entered the studio for the first time as a trio.

Writing songs has always served as a form of therapy for Ferritto, but for the songs on new album Hazy Sun, which the band will celebrate with a release show at Ace of Cups on Friday, Feb. 1, Ferritto delved into the idea of not just musical therapy but the role professional therapy can play in one’s mental health.

“I started taking therapy more seriously and going to therapy and really thinking about mental health more critically,” Ferritto said. “Eventually you just get to a point where it’s like, ‘I don’t want to feel like that anymore.’ A lot of

the songs have to do with that: ‘Why am I feeling like this?’”

On “Nostalgia is Dangerous,” which, like all eight Hazy Sun tracks, hits with a force that feels fuller than a trio, Ferritto explores the way nostalgia can cloud a person’s judgment. “Everyone is like, ‘Oh, the good old days!’ Especially in the country right now with ‘Make America Great Again.’ It’s just like, ‘I don’t think you’re really thinking critically about this,’” said Ferritto, who admitted to his own nostalgic temptations. “You can also apply it yourself. I am the worst victim of my own nostalgia. It’s easy to do. It’s like a warm blanket.”

When Ferritto listens to Hazy Sun now, he hears how Noble Vices has settled into its bigger sound, as well as his own internal growth. “Some of these songs are a couple of years old, so I just think about how much I’ve grown in two years. I’m definitely not as hard on myself anymore,” Ferritto said. “A lot of times on the record it’s me going, ‘Why do I do this thing that obviously hurts me?’ Now, I can just be like, ‘Oh, I’m getting better.’ It’s crazy how important it’s been to just write and put it out there and let people know about it.”

A polar vortex might have turned Columbus into a frozen hellscape overnight, but it could have passed for a spring day inside a sold-out Express Live on Tuesday, with Kacey Musgraves singing of fluttering butterflies, walks among wildflowers and blue oceans filled with neon-glowing creatures.

Presenting herself as an eternal optimist — “Sometimes it feels like humans are horrible, but I know we’re not,” she said remarking on the current political and social climate — Musgraves largely avoided any external chill, offering up patient, golden-hued songs shaped by small-town life and grown-up love.

With each successive record, including Golden Hour, from 2018, Musgraves has expanded upon her sonic palette, sharpened her songwriting and grown her audience, which took pleasure in belting out the words in those moments when the singer turned over her microphone, such as on “Merry Go ’Round.” Critics have responded, too, with Golden Hour landing near the top of numerous year-end polls, as well as earning four Grammy nods, including Album of the Year.

Backed by a six-piece band, Musgraves kicked things off with a tone-setting “Slow Burn,” on which she dropped lines about taking time to smell the flowers atop a musical backdrop that evoked a garden gradually awakening to the sun.

While some country stars make a giant splash in going pop, Musgraves managed to leave barely a ripple in making the conversion. On songs like “Butterflies,” she effortlessly melded country instrumentation with atmospheric electronics, the slight banjo rising in the chorus serving to remind of the singer’s country roots. On “Happy & Sad,” electric drums walked hand-in-hand with pedal steel, the irrepressible thump of the former and melancholy sigh of the latter neatly mirroring the song’s title.

By Joel oliphint Remember when musicians met on MySpace? It wasn’t that long ago.

Los Angeles rap group Shoreline Mafia can trace its origins to 2012, when OhGeesy put fellow graffiti artist Fenix in his Top Friends on MySpace. The two didn’t plan to make music together, but that’s exactly what happened. Later the pair incorporated Rob Vicious and Master Kato.

In 2017, the raunchy rappers launched a song that amassed 12 million YouTube views (“Musty”), and later that year released their

Last year, major labels came calling; the group signed to Atlantic and embarked on a sold-out tour.

The Washington Post called Shoreline Mafia “one of the most fascinating acts in a resurgent L.A. rap scene.” This group is hard, dark and not for everybody. But the foursome is definitely on the rise. (Fans only)

anielle Julian Norton is the mud lady, and not just because there’s an image in her latest exhibition of the artist made up in mud.

Nor is Julian Norton the mud lady solely because there are other pieces in “Double Yellow Line,” on view through Feb. 16 at Angela Meleca Gallery, in which mud is prominently featured — in one case in the form of a giant pile of mud inside a wooden enclosure, and in another case in hand-made brick form as part of a larger sculpture.

Those are some of the reasons, but not all. The artist has become something of an expert (relatively speaking) on mud in the past year or so, since she purchased a tract of land in Southeastern Ohio.

“I originally made a bunch of bricks for a huge chimney for a show in Cincinnati,” Julian Norton said. “The mud is from the land in Southern Ohio. I dug up my parents’ backyard in Central Ohio, but Southern Ohio mud is almost completely clay with sandstone, so it’s almost immediately ready to use. You can make anything with it.”

So when Julian Norton talks about learning to live off of the land, she means it literally.

Her retreat to the chunk of land in Southeastern Ohio didn’t come about organically, though. Julian Norton needed to get a handle on her life. “I was just feeling out of control, so how do you take control of what you can? You can control your immediate surroundings [by] caretaking, healing,” she said. “Those things seemed to be the best immediate solution.”

And with that, Julian Norton began educating herself on things like construction and natural foods. “It’s been a year of slowly get-

lem,” riffing on an exhibition of work by German artist Sigmar Polke displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The piece included potatoes, which, being natural, would sprout and break down over time. The staff wrestled with the question of if and when to dispose of the rotting tubers.

“I love that fine line, that question of when is something art and when isn’t it,” Julian Norton said.

Witness a made-from-scratch laundry basket that caps “Master Basket,” another piece that’s part of “Double Yellow Line.”

Or “Miss Satan,” a sizable piece with a wood foundation that incorporates, among other found materials, a tube sock.

“My studio is full of objects. That tube sock had been in there for a while. I’m a sculptor but I also use added objects for color and shape,” Julian Norton said.

“I love those really mundane objects as material. A laundry basket, earrings my mother made, a pencil, mud, my retainer from high school… .”

Yes, those sundries are all incorporated into this current body of work.

ting outside and detaching from virtual reality and just being present. There are so many resources on the land – ginseng, sassafras, pawpaws, mushrooms. It opened up a whole different way of thinking about things,” Julian Norton said. “Of course, it’s not new. This is already happening, people living off the land and off the grid. But there is real empowerment in learning how to build for yourself and grow food. How to acquire land and build your own structures and create your own space seems like an important thing to do. It’s also a lot of fun.”

Because Julian Norton’s practice as a sculptor and ceramicist has always involved the intersection of art and living, these new skills and understandings necessarily impacted her work. Witness “Stage for a Blank Memory,” a two-story installation that incorporates, among other things, the aforementioned mud pile as well as aquariums with plants repurposed from another exhibition.

“This is both a sculpture and a structure, so it’s in a place where those things collide, where living and art and practice all come together as one,” Julian Norton said.

There is also a potential standalone piece within “Stage” that Julian Norton calls “Blue Potato.” It’s a sculptural work that references the “Polke Potato Prob-

“With this book it was like, how do I find not only multiple doorways into the same topic, but multiple doorways into a moving topic, a shifting target that spans decades and that spans a world changing with it?” Abdurraqib said.

Go Ahead In The Rain is about A Tribe Called Quest, but it’s also about fandom, black music and growing up with a band.

It’s about Abdurraqib as much as it is about Q-Tip, Phife Dawg and Ali Shaheed Muhammad. Fans of Abdurraqib’s writing will recognize his ability to seamlessly weave together stories about multiple, often disparate topics. Whether he’s reminiscing about his failed attempt to master the trumpet as a child, or geeking out over the history of sampling in hiphop, or dissecting a 2011 Tribe documentary, each story serves the larger purpose: recounting the life of A Tribe Called Quest through a fan’s eyes. “[The book] fell in line with that, where a biography would be positioning myself as an expert on that group, and I am not. But I am a fan who had very specific experiences tethered to the group’s lifespan, and that felt more worth exploring to me. … Largely I was interested in building an entire ecosystem around what being a fan of Tribe Called Quest meant for my entire life.”

Poet Marcus Jackson grew up in the theater.

Not so much on stage as in the audience — for readings, rehearsals, tech and performances. Jackson’s parents were both active in the Toledo, Ohio, theater community, but despite his early immersion, young Marcus gravitated more toward the written word.

“I’m more of a shy, introverted person. I love reading out loud, just not always to an audience,” Jackson said, laughing, knowing that being a writer still means often doing public readings of his own work. (Jackson will read a selection of his poems, including some from last year’s Pardon My Heart, at Gramercy Books in Bexley on Thursday, Jan. 31.) “I prefer to let my poems be the performers.”

Jackson invested heavily in poetry while a student at the University of Toledo — it was his original hope to go into sports writing, commentary specifically — gravitating toward its freedom of language and form.

“I liked its eccentricity on the page.

I’m obsessed with the formal, the visual,” Jackson said in an interview at an Olde Towne East coffee shop.

Broadly, Jackson’s poems traffic in imagery, setting and narrative. It serves the writer both in style and technique.

Each work places the reader alongside the narrator, providing exquisite detail in both sense and motivation. And then…

“You figure out what narrative you need to ground your read and then you get lyric however you want. I had a grad school professor describe it as, ‘You can use setting and narrative as a rug your company is standing on and then you can pull the rug out from under them,’” Jackson said. “So whatever larger artistic impulses you have you can set up a

Hanif Abdurraqib still remembers what he was doing when he learned Phife Dawg had died in March 2016.

At the time, the Columbus native was living in Connecticut and working from home. “I was just kind of doing what one does in the modern American workforce, which is I had several tabs open [on the computer browser], only a couple of them related to actual work,” Abdurraqib said.

One of those tabs was Twitter. When he saw Phife’s name trending, he assumed the worst: That the rapper and member of A Tribe Called Quest had died.

“It was one of those moments when, I think this person might be dead, but I’m gonna hold out hope that he’s not,” Abdurraqib said. “To grow up as a fan of a music group is to kind of attach yourself to a member, and I was a huge Phife fan.”

Phife was short — dubbed the Five-Foot Assassin — and so is Abdurraqib. Phife had an encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture, much like Abdurraqib, who writes about everyone from Drake to Johnny Cash to Carly Rae Jepsen. Abdurraqib eulogized Phife in a piece for MTV News. He would write two more pieces about A Tribe Called Quest — one after its November 2016 performance on “Saturday Night Live” and another after its 2017 Grammy performance.

The University of Texas Press took note and approached Abdurraqib about writing a book. He initially declined. Writing a traditional biography didn’t appeal to him. Still, he began thinking about a book proposal and wrote several sample chapters. He realized what he was writing was far from a traditional biography; it was a fan’s narrative. Those chapters would turn into Abdurraqib’s third book, Go Ahead In The Rain: Notes To A Tribe Called Quest.

The University of Texas Press was on board with his approach, but Abdurraqib admits he worried about getting it wrong.

He has written two books: poetry collection The Crown Ain’t Worth Much, and They Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us, an essay collection. Go Ahead In The Rain was new terrain for him.

comfortable scenario, or at least a conceptually accessible scenario, and then you can make it strange or metaphysical.”

For Pardon My Heart, Jackson began by forcing himself to write in sonnets and blank verse — “traditional European forms” — breaking those structures on revision. The collection speaks from the voices of descendants of the Great Migration. It’s a duality that began with notions of monarchy and class, given those forms’ history, and ended with political fallout from the 2016 Presidential election. Jackson said he’s not a social poet, but that this larger conversation found its way organically into his verse.

Jackson acknowledged he is perhaps more acutely aware of those things as he ponders the world his 5-year-old daughter will inhabit.

“I’ve definitely become a little more fearful of the world since I became a parent,” he said. “My newer work is a little bit more existential.”

That his work might carry a touch of social weight doesn’t mean the poet himself has become more social.

“Awkward silence has never bothered me,” Jackson said.

at it. Conceived originally as studio space, Von Niessen shifted gears after talking with a bunch of local artists about coming on board. “‘We don’t want a studio. We want a gallery,’” Von Niessen said she heard again and again. 3060 Artworks became a cooperative gallery, showing the work of resident artists as well as the work of monthly featured artists who are not part of the co-op.

Von Niessen acknowledged “it can be a struggle on the Hilltop,” but the

success she has had in building the annual Summer Jam West festival and the commitment of the space’s resident artists is more than enough encouragement.

The gallery marks its one-year anniversary with a group exhibition titled “Red,” opening during the now-monthly Hilltop Art Hop, which continues to add venues but is currently focused on the businesses near the gallery on West Broad Street at Westmoor Avenue.

Peter Jackson is not a director who would shy away from a challenge, but “They Shall Not Grow Old” is an impressive feat on several levels.

Approached to make a documentary about World War I culled from archival footage, Jackson went beyond … several steps, in fact.

The result is both a technical marvel and an engaging and emotional telling of the lives of British infantry soldiers’ firsthand experiences that doubles as a time capsule of a century ago.

As Jackson began reviewing the archival footage from the Imperial War Museum’s archives, he passed some of the old footage along to his technical team to work on a digital restoration.

He was so impressed with the results, he pushed further into a wholly unique idea few filmmakers could pull off: converting the footage to color. Oh, and 3D. The restoration of the footage pulls these soldiers into our modern world, very much like ghosts. Expressions are readable. Small moments of the experience in the trenches come to life.

Taking it another step, “They Shall Not Grow Old” tells these stories directly from the soldiers who lived them. There is no narration except the accounts pulled from audio interviews with British soldiers recorded in the 1960s and ’70s.

Your first takeaway from this war documentary is one that’s often lost in

war films (Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” being a notable exception).

These were children.

We hear soldier after soldier speak about the deep patriotic desire to serve, and most didn’t let being too young stop them. While the required age of enlistment at the time was 19, many as young as 15 simply lied about their age to serve.

Tales of basic training set up the heart of the film — as well as when the color and 3D effects make their appearance. In a subtle way, a reveal much like “The Wizard of Oz,” when the soldiers reach the battlefront, that’s when things get real.

Jackson does augment this reality with the addition of sound effects and some voice acting providing audio to support the soldiers’ words.

And those words may have more impact than the impressive visuals. It’s a different perspective on war, one of duty and a very British sensibility. The notion of a mutual respect between the British troops and their German counterparts is particularly remarkable to hear.

The 3D effect is at times a blessing and a curse, as it’s inconsistent in its effectiveness.

But the overall effect of “They Shall Not Grow Old” makes for a haunting experience, and one worth taking.

The Fang meatloaf sandwich with cole slaw

newfangled Kitchen

D

on tap: nocterra Brewing company

By g.a. Benton • photos By tim Johnson

o you think Newfangled Kitchen is an unlikely title for a restaurant specializing in meatloaf? I did, at least initially.

Instead of exercising my brain much over Newfangled’s name, though, I’d rather spend more time enjoying the cute and amiable eatery’s well-prepared food.

Serving in the heart of Bexley since December, Newfangled occupies a bright and inviting, modest-sized space where obvious attention to detail has been paid to design and branding. The establishment’s recently painted yellow-and-gray walls — which are echoed in stripes that grace shiny wooden tables — are decorated with impressive graphic artworks that highlight menu items.

Assessing this setting and the nicely organized, sandwich-heavy menu, it becomes clear that, rather than a dinerstyle business — which seems to be a preferred natural habitat for meatloaf — Newfangled resembles a modern deli.

There’s an apparent reason for this.

Co-owner Eric Dennison is a veteran of Lexi’s on Third and Katzinger’s Delicatessen. Laura Dennison, his wife and the co-owner of this family-operated shop, often works the counter where she provides notably warm and personable service.

The deeply comforting, righteous meatloaf the Dennisons showcase isn’t as simple to prepare as it might seem. Arriving in hefty, firm and structurally sound slabs with appealingly crusted edges, the onion-speckled loaf is springy and juicy, and neither too soft nor too dense.

The Fang ($8), one of five sandwiches with meatloaf, is an excellent illustration of this place’s strengths. Newfangled’s beefy claim to fame is accessorized with lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, American cheese and “Fang sauce,” which tastes like mayo mixed with barbecue sauce. Placed in a nifty egg-washed bun, the whole shebang — basically a meatloaf sandwich built like a cheeseburger — is heated in a sandwich press that imparts

the puffy, flavorful, golden-brown roll with a warm and crinkly exterior.

Some like it hotter. If that describes you, try the Lucifer’s Hammer ($8.50), a similar sandwich fired up with pepper jack cheese, spicy, mayo-based “diablo sauce” and pickled jalapenos.

If heat isn’t your thing, order the Joe Cool ($7.25). I was moderately skeptical about this chilled meatloaf sandwich — until I bit into the big and satisfying construction with lettuce, ketchup, pickles and good-quality white bread.

Meatloaf sandwiches are Newfangled’s forte, but nothing I tried was a stinker. The recommended Bella Donna ($8.50), assembled with mushrooms, roasted red peppers, spinach, mozzarella, oat-flecked whole wheat toast and more, is a hearty if somewhat messy vegetarian sandwich with sweet and creamy accents.

Grilled bologna so thick it might’ve been cut with a band saw anchors The Big Deal ($8), a pleasant sandwich with American cheese, mayo and salad toppings. Bulky chunks of respectable roasted chicken breast join cheese, plus smoky bacon and barbecue sauce in the gratifying if somewhat unwieldy Hunter S. Chicken sandwich ($8.75).

Newfangled’s sandwiches are sizable,

but if you’re famished you can tack on deli-style, mayo-fortified sides such as the rib-sticking Dill Pickle Potato Salad ($2.75), punctuated with onions, or the likable minced Cole Slaw ($2.50).

A daily soup such as homey, herbscented chicken noodle ($3.75), plus a few entree salads are offered, as well.

From the latter group, the Tuna Nicoise ($9.25) is a pretty faithful rendition of the classic made with canned fish, kalamata olives, green beans (Newfangled’s are lightly pickled), hard-cooked egg, tomatoes and boiled potatoes. Tied together with a lemony house dressing, it’s a healthful ensemble that will definitely fill you up.

The Chocolate Kettle Chip Cookie ($1.75) is guaranteed to hit your sweet spot — and a salty one, too. It’s a big softyet-chewy cookie packed with chocolate chips and dotted with crushed potato chips. Like many of Newfangled’s oldschool items, it’s a simple and soothing pleasure.

On a recent visit to Pointe Tavern, manager Matt Woods described what the watering hole was like when he was a customer in the late ’90s. Back then, there was a wood fence surrounding the patio, and the UAOH (Upper Arlington, Ohio) mural on the outside wall didn’t exist.

Inside, the floor was carpeted and the wallpaper was “tacky,” Woods said. And there wasn’t a draft system or a kitchen.

“Within the past five years, we’ve made so many changes to this place that people probably aren’t aware of,” he said. “So they just don’t know to come back in.”

One of those changes includes a recent transfer of ownership to Jimmy Woodland and Ed Hastie of Woodlands Tavern. That means there might be more entertainment (the bar currently books local bands once every few months) and updated furniture on the horizon, but customers can still expect the same neighborhood feel.

“It’s very community-oriented,” Woods said of Upper Arlington, where he grew up. “You hear a last name and you can recognize [it] like, ‘Hey, is that your sister or your brother or your dad?’ Everybody knows everybody around here.”

While many bars foster those friendly relationships through karaoke or trivia, Pointe Tavern aims to be a bit more

unique. Some patrons play in a disc golf league each Monday at the bar.

“They can’t go play outside during the winter time, so they’ll come in here and set up little baskets on [one] side of the pool tables,” he said. “They call it putting.”

You’ll also be hard-pressed to find a Keno machine in another bar in Upper Arlington, or a set of steel-tip darts in another bar in the city. “Most of the bars now have the automated ones you have to pay for,” Woods said.

Given the activities, the surprisingly spacious interior — “Everybody just thinks it’s a tiny little bar on the end of a strip mall,” Woods said — and the 18 beers on tap, new patrons are often impressed, Woods said.

And older patrons remember the businesses that once inhabited the establishment, built in the 1960s. “They told me that it was a steakhouse,” Woods said. “I don’t know what the name of it was or anything.”

The fact that there aren’t any ghosts lurking around from 60 years ago is another attribute that sets Pointe Tavern apart from other bars in town.

“I think a lot of them say that because it actually piques people’s interest,” Woods said. “So maybe just tell everybody that we’re super haunted. Come see the ghosts from the steakhouse.

Maybe it’ll work.”

The restaurant, run by longtime Barcelona Restaurant & Bar chefs Jacob Hough and Patrick Marker, is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Friday and dinner only on Saturday.

Here we go again: Columbus, say hello to your newest brewery! Nocterra Brewing Company will open its doors to the public at noon on Saturday, Feb. 2., marking the end of nearly 13 months of work on a taproom and brewery just a couple of blocks off the main drag of downtown Powell.

Located in a 100-year-old freight depot building next to a set of train tracks, Nocterra’s facility features a 15-barrel brewing system, a taproom that seats up to 99 and a quarter-acre outdoor beer garden with fire pits. The grounds also include space for food trucks. Once the warmer months arrive, the beer garden will expand to include more seating and children’s play areas.

Nocterra founders Bryan Duncan and Bruce Vivian first met through homebrewing competitions at Buckeye Brewcraft in Westerville. The brewery was born over a love of craft beer and the outdoors; the décor, beer names and general vibe nod to both.

The brewery is set to feature 10 house beers on tap at opening, spread between lagers, IPAs and sours, plus two house-made sodas. The lagers include the Trail Break helles lager, finished with sapphire hops, the Dan dunkel, and the Terra Noir Baltic porter, which also

comes in a version infused with coffee.

IPAs include the Beta Flash Northeast IPA and the Scioto Coast Double IPA finished with honey, as well as the Tree Well White Pine IPA. Three kettle sours will be offered at opening, including the brewer’s base Swell Line gose, plus two fruited varieties.

Nocterra will launch a larger barrelaged sour program after opening, with more sours hitting the taps after several months. The brewery also owns a canning line — the only one in Delaware County — to eventually can some of its beers.

Nocterra gets its name by combining aspects of the founders’ lives: “nocturnal” from their habit of brewing in the evenings, and “terra” as a nod to the earth and the outdoors. The brewery chose a moth as its logo, symbolizing “bugs,” the term brewers use in reference to the live yeast cultures that ferment beer.

Nocterra’s open hours will be Tuesday through Thursday 4-10 p.m.; Friday 3 p.m. to midnight; Saturday noon to midnight; and Sunday noon to 8 p.m.

The Akron-based burger chain Swensons Drive-In will hold a grand opening for its new Polaris location on Monday, Feb. 4. Famous for its Galley Boy cheeseburgers, Swensons’ latest Central Ohio spot is located at 2012 Ikea Way, next to Topgolf. In other Swensons news, the chain is one step closer to opening a Hilliard location at 4810 Cemetery Rd., next to J.W. Reason Elementary School.

This week, Hilliard City Council approved Swensons’ rezoning request.

Easy Company live, “The Summons of Spring” w/the Coldsweats & Greysound, Kafe Kerouac is hosting three explosive hard hitting bands. The Coldsweats are a modern take on classic punk rock, with the same energy and angst that punks had 40 years ago. Greysound is a heavy yet intricate three piece with a sound that is hard to compare to much else, though their metal influences are clear as day and just as raw. Easy Company is a band with a sound that can’t quite be pinned down to one specific genre at any given time, ranging from short folksy acoustic CountryWestern pieces, to 8 and a half minute heavy metal and blues rock journeys driven by a tight lyrical narrative, to ethereal elvish instrumentals and much more that can’t be communicated through simple words, only song. $5 at the door. 7:30 p.m.
