Theater lovers

Aimee Hayes ad libs a frantic puppetry of two hands kissing wildly as she gushes Ada’s romantic overtures, and the show gets off to a raucous start. But the kissing scenes and combinations have only just begun, and She is reunited on stage with an actual former lover, whom she hasn’t seen in years. Stage Kiss is not a parlor drama, and there’s physical comedy, sudden revelations and unexpected plot By Will Coviello twists. Ruhl punches up the awkwardness with period-piece plays-within-the-play burdened with heavy accents and melodrama, and the comedy toys with theater world conventions n the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play) showed playwright and stereotypes. Sarah Ruhl isn’t coy. That play, which Southern Rep mounted “Stage Kiss shows a masterful playwright at work,” says Hayes, in 2010, delivered plenty of laughs via Victorian-era characters who is Southern Rep’s artistic director. “I love plays with romance, struggling with intimacy as Dr. Givings discovers a new tool to treat and she’s great at understanding the travails and upheavals of women for hysteria. But it isn’t a comedy. love without being maudlin or kitschy or silly. It’s Stage Kiss is a romantic comedy, and Ruhl adult and it can be harsh.” displays an even more deft touch as she places her Sept. 19-Oct. 10 Besides The Vibrator Play, Southern Rep also characters in deliciously awkward and ambiguous produced Ruhl’s The Clean House, another work with Stage Kiss intimate situations. an odd vantage point on intimacy and humor as a An actress — a protagonist referred to as She 8 p.m. Thu.-Sat.; Brazilian maid works on telling jokes while enjoying — shows up for an audition and is nervous after a 3 p.m. Sun. unique access to a family’s lives. prolonged absence from the stage.

There were no surprise entries in the governor’s race, but local contests saw some interesting twists. By Clancy DuBos

n politics, sometimes the biggest surprise is no surprise. That was the case when no major Democrat made a lastminute entry into the governor’s race — leaving the field exactly as U.S. Sen. David Vitter, the consistent frontrunner, wanted it. Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than smart. In Vitter’s case, he’s both. A total of nine candidates filed papers to seek the Governor’s Mansion, but only four of them have enough money and political support to garner a significant share of the vote in the Oct. 24 primary. The primary is less than six weeks away, and early voting is less than four weeks away (Oct. 10-17). Besides Vitter, the major candidates include Public Service Commissioner Scott Angelle, Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne and state Rep.

John Bel Edwards. The four major candidates in the Louisiana Angelle, Dardenne governor’s race (clockwise from top left): and Vitter are U.S. Sen. David Vitter, Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne, Republicans; EdPublic Service Commissioner Scott Angelle wards is the lone and state Rep. John Bel Edwards. major Democrat. Most polls show Vitter and Edwards leading the field and Angelle within striking distance. Although Dardenne has trailed in recent polls, he has almost all of his $2 million war chest and will pour it into the next six weeks of campaigning. Most political handicappers agree that Vitter and Edwards can only defeat each other in the Nov. 21 runoff, with Vitter having an edge. Louisiana has leaned decidedly Republican in recent elections, and Vitter enters the formal campaign season with more cash on hand than all his opponents combined. He also has the highest “negative” rating among voters, largely because of his admission in 2007 that he frequented prostitutes while in the U.S. Congress. Vitter’s foes will do all they can to remind voters of the senator’s sex scandal, but they will have to overcome Vitter’s massive media buys in the final weeks. He literally may be able to drown out, in terms of media advertising, whatever attacks come his way. To make sure he doesn’t face too many hostile questions, Vitter will limit his public appearances — if he makes any at all — to venues where the audiences are sure PAGE 8

to be friendly. He also may agree to only one live TV debate, probably in the late stages of the primary. It’s all part of a plan to minimize his risk. It’s part of a time-honored, successful strategy for Vitter, along with his penchant for ignoring his real opponents and instead firing broadsides at “straw man” adversaries. In his 2010 Senate re-election campaign, he talked past Democrat Charlie Melancon and campaigned against President Barack Obama. This year, he’s been running radio ads statewide against New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu (for questioning whether the city should keep its Confederate monuments) and television ads against state lawmakers, who he accuses of helping themselves to “perks.” Vitter also has the advantage of deep-pocketed “independent” (wink-wink) super PACs attacking Dardenne and Angelle. As the lone major Democrat, Edwards’ task is to unite his party without veering too far to the left. A graduate of West Point with impressive military service credentials and a strong progun, pro-life record, Edwards should be able to get his share of moderate and conservative votes — but can he do that while also generating enthusiasm among black voters, the real base of the Democratic Party? For their parts, Angelle and Dardenne will split the anti-Vitter vote — of which there is plenty — among Republicans and moderates. As the only Cajun in the contest, Angelle has the potential to lock up a third of the electorate based on geo-politics. He also has tried to make inroads among evangelical voters who may be disenchanted with Vitter over the prostitution scandal.

Other statewide races

Elsewhere on the statewide ballot, voters will choose a lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, attorney general, insurance commissioner and agriculture commissioner. The contests for lieutenant governor and attorney general are expected to produce the most fireworks. Four candidates qualified to succeed Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne, who is running for governor. They are Baton Rouge Mayor Kip Holden, Jefferson Parish President John Young, former Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser and state Sen. Elbert Guillory. In this group, Holden is the only Democrat, but the fault lines go deeper than that. Holden and Guillory are both African-Americans, though Guillory is a Republican. Young and Nungesser both hail from metro New Orleans, with Young having a larger base in Jefferson Parish but Nungesser having run a strong race before for this office. Early polls show Nungesser and Holden in front, with a runoff likely. Young, meanwhile, has launched a statewide media campaign that he

hopes will propel him past Nungesser. All observers expect Holden to land one of the runoff spots, which would make him a one-man Get Out The Vote machine in black precincts in the Nov. 21 runoff. If the governor’s race comes down to Vitter and Edwards, that will help the Democrats get their vote out. The other interesting statewide contest is the race for attorney general. Incumbent Buddy Caldwell, a Republican, failed to get the party’s early nod, which went to GOP former Congressman Jeff Landry, a tea party darling. One other Republican and two littleknown Democrats also entered the fray, but this looks like a race between Caldwell and Landry, the latter of whom appears to have support from Vitter. Look for Caldwell to make an issue of Landry’s relative lack of experience as an attorney. The former congressman has been a licensed attorney only about 10 years and reportedly has almost no trial experience. Caldwell, who first won the AG’s job in 2007 as a Democrat, switched parties in early 2011 but has managed to alienate much of the GOP establishment. He does have strong ties to the trial lawyer community, but so far that has not translated into a large war chest.

Local surprises

The only surprises on the ballot came at the local level, with convicted felon Derrick Shepherd qualifying for a House seat in Marrero, and former Metairie state Rep. John LaBruzzo switching at the last minute from seeking a seat on the Jefferson Parish Council to running for the state Senate against incumbent state Sen. Conrad Appel. Shepherd appears headed for a court challenge based on a state constitutional prohibition against convicted felons running for state office. He served two years in federal prison for money laundering. Otherwise, many local incumbent state lawmakers were re-elected without opposition. For example, five incumbent senators whose districts touch Orleans or Jefferson parishes were re-elected without opposition, as were 11 local representatives. Two of the seven Jefferson council races were decided when no one filed to run against incumbent Mark Spears in District 3 or Cynthia Lee-Sheng in one of the two open at-large seats. Also elected without opposition were Assessor Tom Capella and Coroner Gerry Cvitanovich. Statewide, almost half the Legislature won re-election without opposition. Other incumbents are sure to survive their challenges. That much legislative retention may bode ill for Vitter if he wins the governor’s race — his ads attacking lawmakers for helping themselves to “perks” could come back to haunt him. Voters may not like the direction of the state in general, but the lack of legislative challengers suggests they like their own lawmakers just fine.

NEWS VIEWS SCUTTLEBUTT Quotes of the week Squirrel edition

“We do in fact need to make America great again. We do in fact need to fire everybody in Washington. We do in fact need to get rid of political correctness. That is all true. And we can make America great again. But we will not do that by putting an unserious and unstable narcissist in the White House.” — Gov. Bobby Jindal, attempting to throw a haymaker at GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump. He went on to compare Trump to Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Don Rickles. “He did not make the debate stage, and therefore I have never met him. I only respond to people that register more than 1 percent in the polls.” — Trump, brushing off Jindal’s criticism. Jindal riposted by telling CBS News Trump “looks like he has a squirrel on his head.”

Prison housewarming Sheriff plans jazz funeral

Judges Arthur Hunter and Laurie White

of Criminal District Court in New Orleans were profiled as “Legal Rebel Trailblazers” in the latest edition of the ABA Journal for their Orleans Re-entry Court Offender Rehabilitation and Workforce Development Program. The program gets men serving life sentences at Angola to teach GED classes and job skills to new inmates with shorter sentences. Each year, the Journal honors members of the legal profession who have established innovative practices and programs. Hunter and White were among 11 honorees nationwide.

Kerry Ford,

a graduate of Destrehan High School, received the Louisiana Restaurant Association Education Foundation’s (LREAF) Jim Funk Scholarship, the organization’s most prestigious award, named after former Louisiana Restaurant Association President Jim Funk. Ford will attend the Chef John Folse Culinary Institute at Nicholls State University. Ten other students from the New Orleans area received LREAF scholarships last month.

WVLA-TV,

the NBC affiliate in Baton Rouge, fired reporter Derek Myers after he asked gubernatorial candidate U.S. Sen. David Vitter whether he continues to visit prostitutes, referencing Vitter’s admission of his “serious sin” in 2007. Myers told The Advocate that Vitter’s campaign had threatened to pull advertising from the station; Team Vitter denied the allegation and WVLA declined to comment. No serious news organization fires a reporter for asking a legitimate question and pursuing a politician who’s running away from a story.

Orleans Parish Sheriff Marlin Gusman is preparing to move prisoners into the new jail facility this week, but one thing’s still missing — a formal name for the 1,400-bed facility. That’s by design, Gusman says: “We’ll be naming it soon, probably at a small ceremony.” The name, he says, will pay tribute to a “deceased, prominent New Orleanian.” Plans for the new facility began in 2009, and builders broke ground in 2011. In June, Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s administration obtained a stop-work order against the Sheriff’s Office, claiming the new building did not adequately house special-needs populations like those with substance abuse issues. In July, the city dropped the challenge. One special needs group — those with mental health problems — will not be included in current plans. Gusman wants to build another 600-bed facility (“Phase III”) to house those inmates. Currently prisoners with mental health needs are sent to Elayn Hunt Correctional Center in St. Gabriel in Iberville Parish near Baton Rouge. The original Orleans Parish Prison (OPP) was constructed in the 1920s, and prisoners have been housed there and in other nearby buildings since. Some facilities have been closed, like the notorious House of Detention, while others (such as the old jail adjacent to Criminal District Court) remain

Akein and Shawn Scott’s older brother Travis Scott, alleged to be the gang’s ringleader, has been accused of threatening witnesses and is the last defendant in the federal indictment awaiting trial. The case initially began in state court for attempted murder charges, but U.S. Attorney Kenneth Polite announced a superseding indictment last year involving city, state and federal authorities. On Sept. 5, Mayor Mitch Landrieu praised the work of the MultiAgency Gang Unit that led to the Scotts’ arrests and indictments. Since 2012, that unit’s work has led to the indictments of 106 people involved with 11 gangs. — ALEX WOODWARD

COMMENTARY

thinking out loud

A plea in the Mother’s Day shootings

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > SEPTEMBER 15 > 2015

t’s been more than two years since gunmen opened fire on a Mother’s Day second line, injuring 20 people and jolting a city that was (and is) far too inured to violence. Nine people originally were charged; after plea deals, that number went to four. Last week, brothers Shawn and Akein Scott pleaded guilty to federal racketeering and conspiracy charges, along with a third brother, Stanley Scott. They will be sentenced in January. A fourth brother, Travis Scott, awaits trial. In March 2014, Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro chose to drop 19 counts of attempted murder against the Scott brothers after the feds charged them and others with violating federal drug distribution laws, including the use of firearms. They face penalties ranging from 20 years to life imprisonment. The resolution of this case without a prolonged trial is no doubt a relief to the 19 people shot that day, including Gambit second line correspondent Deborah “Big Red” Cotton, who was one of the most severely injured. Cotton spent a year recuperating and continues to recover, but she’s back covering second lines, brass bands, Mardi

Gras Indians and social aid and pleasure clubs as she’s able. Accepting an award at the annual Rising Tide conference last month (before the plea deal was set), Cotton said it did not give her “any satisfaction or resolution” for being part of sending her shooters to jail. “I recognize the young men who committed that heinous crime cannot be in the community with us,” Cotton said. “They have demonstrated they will not honor their part of the social contract. “I blame them; I hold them responsible,” Cotton continued. “But I hold us responsible too. This continues to go on in New Orleans because we allow it to. We do not convert our outrage into holding leaders accountable to resolving this problem. We’ve been po’mouthing New Orleans since the beginning of time. We have resources here. We just allow those resources to be squandered, and we turn a blind eye to it.” New Orleans has come a long way since Hurricane Katrina and the federal levee failures, but too many local resources are still being squandered — and one thing remains intractable: the violence on our streets.

‘We do not convert our outrage into holding leaders accountable to resolving this problem.’ — Deborah Cotton For example, it created hardly a ripple last week when a man was shot to death on Iberville Street in the French Quarter. Though City Hall and NOPD brass point to stats saying violent crime is down, people are talking about the brazenness of recent gun-related robberies: customers and employees at the Uptown restaurant Patois robbed by gunmen during business hours; a Labor Day mugging on a Garden District sidewalk in the early afternoon; and a string of armed robberies

that NOPD officials say was committed by a pair of teenagers. Cotton is right: The people who commit these crimes are wholly responsible for their actions — but violence continues “because we allow it to.” Based on their pleas, the Scott brothers need to be in jail for a long time. But if jail alone were the answer to violent crime, Louisiana would be the safest place in the world.

BLAKE PONTCHARTRAIN™ Questions for Blake: askblake@gambitweekly.com

Hey Blake,

Could you please give the history of the reddish brick building on North Front and Bienville streets near the Mississippi River between Jax Brewery and Canal Place? It’s an old building in the midst of a renovated area and now it looks like work is being done on it. I’m very curious. Madeline

Dear Madeline,

New life is coming to that old building, but before we get to that, let’s focus — as we do best in this space — on the history surrounding that spot. While today it is mostly a sea of asphalt parking lots, the area near Bienville and North Front streets once was the center of commerce for an important industry for this city: sugar. It became particularly prominent following the Civil War, when the area was home to sugar warehouses, as well as several sugar refineries. The surrounding neighborhood truly was a “Sugar District,” as geographer and historian Richard Campanella describes it in his book Time and Place In New Orleans. In 1883, the district had a new

headquarters — a beautiful Beaux Arts building called the Louisiana Sugar and Rice Exchange near Bienville and North Front streets. It was designed by architect James Freret, and for more than three decades it was the hub of Louisiana’s sugar and molasses industry. A 1960 story in The TimesPicayune described the building’s most The Louisiana Sugar and Rice Exchange building notable feature: “a in 1963, shortly before it was demolished. skylighted, columnP H O T O B Y D A N L E Y R ER /C O U R T E S Y L I B R A R Y O F C O N G R E S S bedecked hall meaPRINTS & PHOTOGRAPHS DIVISION suring 60 x 110 feet.” Inside, buyers would vestiges of the former Sugar District, taste-test sugar samples for trading and purchasing.

he recent 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the 50th anniversary of Hurricane Betsy reminded us of another upcoming anniversary: the centennial of the devastating Category 4 hurricane in 1915 (in the days before the National Weather Service named storms). The storm made landfall on Sept. 29, 1915 near Grand Isle. Coastal areas experienced severe wind, flooding and storm surge damage, but the city also felt the effects. According to the New Orleans Public Library, more than 25,000 New Orleans buildings suffered structural damage in that storm. High winds caused two churches to collapse: the First Presybterian Church of New Orleans on Lafayette Square and St. Anna’s Episcopal Church on Esplanade Avenue. It also blew the cupola off the Presbytere in Jackson Square. In all, the storm killed about 275 people as it moved inland and caused $13 million in damages, making it the most destructive hurricane until Betsy hit 50 years later.

land is three self-described “highly political” women: guitarist and singer Kallie Pal, bassist Farra Mones and percussionist and omnichord player Baaba Black Sheep. They’re seeking a full-time female drummer — meanwhile the band appears in concert with a male drummer wearing a black latex BDSM mask to symbolize his subordinate status. The band performs at Gasa Gasa Oct. 24 at the eighth annual Community Records Block Party.

CONCERTS

Who are your role models, in music or life? Pal: My ultimate hero, while I regret that he’s a white dude, is Jay Reatard. He makes punk music — it’s catchy and it’s great, but he sings about real shit. Black Sheep: Maya Angelou, because she’s a selftaught artist. She started dancing in her mid-20s, started singing late in the game. Mones: The Coathangers, because they’re the band that got me off my ass. Pal: Do you want to hear our three goals as a band? One: tour Japan. Two: be a cameo band in a teen movie. Three: when we retire we get a mansion like Hugh Hefner, but all our bunnies are face-tattooed guys, some of them twins. — ANNA GACA 17

growing up in Nashville, Tennessee, she and Miley Cyrus “were probably babysat by the same lady at these parties where the Nashville elite drank too much whiskey.” “I have a conservative, religious family, most who would be horrified by the things I’m saying,” she says. “But I’ve been put in my place — I’ve learned just because somebody loves Glenn Beck doesn’t mean they don’t also love Boyfriend.” After living in Los Angeles for five years and working in film, she moved to New Orleans with a job in arts education. “I was ready to get back to the South,”

she says. “New Orleans was the only Southern city that compelled me.” Her first performance as Boyfriend — which she describes as a “rap cabaret” — was opening for bounce artist Vockah Redu. “He handed me the first money I ever earned as Boyfriend in the men’s bathroom,” she remembers. “A single tear fell from my eye and I told him that was the first time I made money as an artist. We had a quick hug and that was that. … It took momentum, and now’s the time, while I’m still cute, before I get too much cellulite. … I feel like the best way for someone to experience Boyfriend is to be in that audience, and the best way to communicate Boyfriend is to be on that stage with a microphone.” Her Boyfriend persona, she says, “was kind of born out of the corners of my salaried schedule.” Her 2014 interview with The Huffington Post was done over the phone while she was in her office supply closet. “Anywhere at any given moment there’s probably 500 people talking about ‘their boyfriend’ or ‘Can you believe that his boyfriend said that’ or ‘God, I wish my boyfriend blah blah blah’ or ‘Oh my God, I want a boyfriend so bad’ or ‘I miss my boyfriend’ or ‘My boyfriend’s a dick,’” she says. “‘Boyfriend’ has this sexual, heavy connotation to it that I knew was mine to take. I am your boyfriend. … I’m available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Who could ask for anything more?” — ALEX WOODWARD

How do your politics come across in your music? Mones: As a predominantly female band, we’ll be inherently political because every woman is going through something. At a ground level, we’re going to have some shit to talk about. … I feel like we’ve been forced to be anarcho-feminist because of the way the world is, but these guys [in other bands] are like, “Hey, never thought of that.” Pal: One of the things we decided was that we weren’t going to sing any love songs, any breakup songs. If we have songs about boys, it’s political. Not all the songs are political. There’s a song about being really depressed. One is a made-up story about summoning a demon.

Boyfriend marries her decidedly fancy highbrow lifestyle with sex-positive, feminist anthems in her raps (or rhyming “I’m the master of farts” with “bachelor of arts”) in her multimedia performance art persona — oversized glasses and hair in rollers — for a stage show that is as much cone-bra, arena-sized Madonna as it is an intimate, hilariously profane psychosexual bedroom drama. “I like to summon my muse — I don’t wanna wait around for her, because, you know, ‘Bitches be late,’” she says. “I typically run a nice bubble bath, have a martini or some Champagne and the words just come, and next thing you know I’m moisturized, smelling of lavender and I have an album written.” Her next album, Love Your Boyfriend Pt. 3, is due as early as this year, she says. The last two volumes featured production work from Sex Party, using offbeat electronic pop and dance-influenced rap beats for her “collection of difficult love songs.” “Love songs that are honest, and love songs that make you stop and question the love songs

Guidry: And they use this software called corruption software, and it basically just scrambles the hell out of the game. It’s really funny. … The best one was Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! It takes the characters’ faces and kind of mashes them together. Wilkerson: They stream what they’re playing on Twitch. tv, which is this website just to stream video games. People sit in chat rooms and talk to the guys and girls that are playing these weird games. One of them is The Fantastic Game. It’s a really bad first-person game, but there’s one point where you’re hearing what sounds to be Smash Mouth. You go into this transcendent egg, and you walk into it ... Guidry: The closer you get to it the louder it gets, and it’s the lines “So much to do, so much to see” (from “All Star”) being repeated over and over again. … We’ve been on the hunt for where to find cans of Surge. You remember Surge? “Fully Loaded Citrus Soda with Carbos.” It’s a soda from the ’90s. It was basically the first energy drink, but it was marketed toward kids. It kind of tastes like Mountain Dew. Wilkerson: But way sweeter. Guidry: It’s like a cornerstone of hyperactivity. … We really want to get a hold of some cans of Surge so we can, you know, crush some Surge and go play arcade on Thursdays. And we did find Surge.

M DONOVAN WOLFINGTON’S FAVORITE THINGS

ew Orleans punk band Donovan Wolfington’s How To Treat the Ones You Love (Topshelf Records/Community Records) blasts emotional, hook-filled pop-punk — growing out of growing pains, getting tired of getting high and learning how to love — alongside nostalgic ’90s-inspired quiet-loud rock ’n’ roll. The band (guitarists/vocalists Neil Berthier and Matt Seferian, bassist Alex Skalany and drummer Michael Saladis) recently wrapped a summerlong West Coast and Midwest tour and performs at The Howlin’ Wolf Den Sept. 26 with Lovey Dovies and Silver Godling. The band also will play a “surprise” local album release show on Oct. 2 (the location and lineup will be announced that week) followed by a fall East Coast tour. Berthier tells Gambit about his favorite things from the road: Favorite Guided By Voices songs: Matt is the aficionado. On this tour we’ve been listening to Do the Collapse. The song “Things I Will Keep” is up there. Classics for me are “Game of Pricks,” “Echos Myron,” “Gold Star for Robot Boy.” There’s a lot. They have a crazy discography. They have so many gems, but they put out so much material you never really know what you’re going to get. Robert Pollard is kind of a badass. Favorite snacks on tour: I like cashews a lot. Mike copped this salmon jerky at Trader Joe’s that’s to die for. Apricots are really good. I like Pringles a lot; that’s one of my guilty pleasures. Once you pop you don’t stop. … Pretzels are good, but we rarely have them. Goldfish we run through too quick. … Especially on the West Coast, there are so many long, ridiculous drives, you have to be there at a certain time, and you want to stop, but you kind of can’t. If you stock up on snacks and eat stuff that’s a bit healthy and filling, it’s pretty good! I’m a slow eater. Everyone in the band will tell you that. I like to pick at stuff. Snacking really works for me. Mike will eat three huge sandwiches. … There’s really good barbecue in Texas, so we got that. We had In-N-Out gifted to us, so you can’t turn down gifted In-N-Out. Favorite skateboarding trick: As far as stuff I can pull: a frontside boardslide with a frontside shove out. I haven’t done it in a while but it’s one of my favorite things to do. … I got into it really young. When I was 6 I started. I was into video games as a little kid, and I went to the arcade with my dad and won enough tickets to get a skateboard. I stopped when I came to college. New Orleans roads are tough to get around. That was kind of depressing. Once they built the park, I was back at it. … I sprained my ankle when we were out in (Los Angeles). We skated at Venice Beach in the concrete park, the famous one. I did a 180 over this little thing and sprained my ankle and rolled it. I haven’t had any crazy injuries from skateboarding — or none that made me not want to do it anymore. — ALEX WOODWARD

Ian and I would jam, we’d been buds for a while at that point. … ‘This is not good. We should probably find another guitarist.’” Paine-Jesam and Stafford asked St. Cyr — who was performing with bands Sun Hotel and Native America — to join their admittedly technically deficient duo. (“It felt like asking him to be our boyfriend,” Stafford says.) “We had high aspirations and really low technical ability,” St. Cyr says. On Woozy’s first full-length album Blistered, out Oct. 16 on Exploding In Sound and Community Records, guitars and harmonies collide, crash, burn and blast off again in slowmotion and in different directions. Album opener “Venom” shifts gears from shimmering riffs, trickled-in snare hits and falsetto vocals to a roaring chorus and a melting, mercury finish. The album was recorded live at The Living Room studio on the West Bank with engineer Chris George, and “Ross Farbe on the ‘I think you can do that better,’” St. Cyr says. Farbe — who performs with St. Cyr in their garage rock trio Native America — stood in as the “band coach.” “He’s good at basically calling you an idiot without making you feel like an idiot,” Stafford says.

Executive chef Adam Krolikowski says the menu focuses on fresh ingredients and local sourcing whenever possible. “The concept is fast casual — making high-end burgers using the best quality ingredients but at a much lower price point,” Krolikowski says. “We’re still in the beginning phases, but the goal is to do everything in house — burgers, bread, fries, sauces.” Hamburgers feature Black Angus chuck patties. The restaurant’s namesake burger includes ham, cheese, caramelized onions, Creole aioli and a fried egg on a brioche bun. There also are sandwiches and sides. Krolikowski hails from the Northeast and previously worked at Restaurant R’evolution. Krolikowski says a West Bank Go Burger will open in the coming weeks on Lapalco Boulevard in Marrero. In fall, Krolikowski and his team also will open Flambeaux’s, a full-service burger and seafood restaurant on Canal Street in the Central Business District. Go Burger is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday. — HELEN FREUND

Cuban Quarter

Grabbing a cafecito and a Cuban sandwich will be a lot easier for French Quarter residents when Cuban cafe and bar El Libre (508 Dumaine St., 504309-2699; www.ellibrenola.com) opens Sept. 16. The venture is run by several partners, including Blake Lindberg, Konrad Kantor and Bruce Fowler. Lindberg said they decided on the Cuban theme, imagining a place where passersby could stop in for a cup of Cafe Bustelo, a pressed Cuban sandwich or a daiquiri. “There’s really not any other Cuban places, at least like this one, in the city,” Lindberg says. The refurbished space features pale green walls covered with drawings and stencils, including several of Ernest Hemingway. The jewel-box storefront has a few seats downstairs and a small upstairs alcove. There is seating for about 20 people. Chef Barbara Stamatelatos’ menu includes a handful of sandwiches, breakfast items, sides and sweets. There is a classic Cuban sandwich made with roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, mustard and pickles PAGE 26

inner at cibugnu can feel like an Italian family affair. Salumi is cured in house, giant plates of handmade pasta approach family-style portions, and blistering, thin-crust pizzas are churned out of a wood-burning oven. It’s pared down and less buzzy than neighboring Marcello’s Restaurant & Wine Market and Herbsaint, and the service can feel more like a casual dinner party, with servers who are friendly and attentive, if a bit informal and slow. Little slipups are easily forgotten, however, when the staff brings out complimentary boards topped with glistening prosciutto di Parma — paper-thin slices with buttery ribbons of fat that melt in your mouth. There have been some chef and management changes since cibugnu opened two years ago, but managing partner Hillary Barq and chef Nick Vella took over in June and have maintained the restaurant’s focus on Sicilian-influenced dishes. Large hunks of torn sourdough focaccia are drizzled with olive oil and make for rustic bread service. That suffices, but an optional selection of compound butters — earthy truffle and spicy neonata, an Italian fish and pepper condiment — are an indulgent addition. Some of the appetizers seem forced, as if the chef is stretching beyond the confines of his comfort zone in an attempt to impress. On one visit, a daily crudo preparation of thin yellowtail dressed with shavings of Fresno chilies, honey and sea salt didn’t come together. While the honey and jalapeno complemented each other, they felt at odds with the fish. Arugula salad with cucumbers and heirloom tomatoes was fresh but slightly watery and bland, and garlic and Parmesan vinaigrette failed to animate the dish. The kitchen is better equipped to handle the southern Italian classics on which it prides itself, most notably handmade pastas and pizzas. Crescent-shaped creste rigate is served in hearty arrabiata ragu made with Two Run Farm beef. The sauce gets a spicy kick with Louisiana green cayenne peppers and clings perfectly to the ridged, chewy noodles, and a healthy sprinkling of Grana Padano cheese ties the dish together. It’s classic cold-weather comfort food any nonna would be proud to serve. Bouncy squid ink linguine tastes deliciously earthy and saline at the same time: charcoal-col-

Central City Icehouse

Pit-master Damian Brugger will offer Texas-style brisket and ribs at his first restaurant, Black Label Icehouse (3000 Dryades St.; www.blacklabelbbq.net), beginning Oct. 2. The opening at the Central City beer hall and barbecue joint will be a threeday party featuring local bands and food and drink specials. Following the opening, a monthlong “Smoketoberfest” will feature German-style beers and snacks, including pretzels flown in from Munich, which Brugger will serve with smoked pork fat and Himalayan sea salt. Also on the menu are brisket sliders on pretzel buns with spicy mustard and house-made sauerkraut, pork schnitzel and German potato salad. Brugger’s best-known project was a seven-month weekend pop-up at the Lower Garden District whiskey haven Barrel Proof, where he served ribs, brisket and sausage. Black Label’s regular menu features Texas-style ribs, sausage, brisket, whole chickens, Texas toast and sides. Beers from Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi occupy 14 taps, and 16 to 18 types of beer will be available in bottles. A weekend brunch pop-up is in the works, he says. Brugger and his girlfriend Mary Slason, who is a partner in the business, came across the Dryades Street location early this year. The space features natural wood and corrugated metal accents. A bar that stretches 30 feet anchors the main room, which includes a stage for live bands. In addition to a poolroom there is a game room with a shuffleboard table and vintage video games. Black Label Icehouse will be open 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. — HELEN FREUND

3-COURSE interview

Joel Hitchcock-Tilton Urban Farmer

Along with partner Jim Seely, Joel Hitchcock-Tilton runs Paradigm Gardens (2516 Dryades St.; www.paradigmgardensnola.com), an urban farm and event space on Rampart Street in Central City. The duo started the garden a year and a half ago with chef partners Kristen Essig of Meauxbar, Michael Stoltzfus of Coquette and Aaron Burgau of Patois. It has several goats, and herbs, vegetables and edible flowers are grown in its beds. Following a trial run last year, the team kicks off a bi-weekly concert series on Sept. 29 with food, drinks and local bands. Tilton spoke with Gambit about the concept of a chef’s garden and sustaining an urban farm.

How is Paradigm different from other urban gardens?

Can other chefs purchase your produce?

H: We’ve had a lot of requests from a number of great chefs in the area, and that’s been really flattering. But at the moment, we just don’t have the capacity to do that. We work informally with Ancora and High Hat (Cafe) on the side; we’re bound to have some sort of extras and if we do, say, have 20 pounds of eggplant or something, then we’ll give it to them and work something out. But we have to make sure we’ve got enough for our [three] chefs first. They’ve been great to partner with. There aren’t three other people we would rather be working with than them.

How does the farm sustain itself?

H: Urban farming and growing vegetables is in no way very lucrative, unfortunately. There are a number of great nonprofits and community gardens in the city but it’s not a great business model. We put about $25,000 of our own money into building and maintaining everything here. So we thought about how we could make it work. The idea was to create a functioning, sustainable plan for an urban garden. So we came up with the idea of the concert series and have started using the space for events. We’ll be doing field trips with kids; we’ve had some art gallery and food truck nights and people can rent the space if they want for any type of event, including weddings or parties. We threw a couple of (concert events) last year, and they were great. There’s food from local chefs, music and drinks, and the place has a completely different feel to it at night. — HELEN FREUND

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > SEPTEMBER 15 > 2015

Hitchcock-Tilton: It’s really a chef’s garden; we partner exclusively with the chefs at Coquette, Meauxbar and Patois. We sit down with them a few times a year and come up with a crop plan where they tell us what they’d like — giving us a wish list — and we tell them whether that’s possible or not, given space, seasonality, weather constraints and so on. We usually can grow around 90 percent of what they ask for. We grow a lot of specialty items they maybe wouldn’t be able to find elsewhere: lots of edible flowers, baby and microgreens. One of the perks is that it’s incredibly fresh: Instead of buying something that was cut a couple of days or a week ago, they can come here the day of and get something we harvested maybe 20 minutes ago. They get one or two days of delivery, and they can also come to the garden and pick up what they want, which is nice. They usually hang out for a while, chat and see what’s growing.

BEER buzz New Belgium Brewing Company brewer Hal Doss, who works in the brewery’s wood cellar program, will present and discuss the brewery’s sour and wild beers at upcoming local events. Sour and wild beers are becoming more popular, unusual flavor profiles ranging from tart and refreshing to intense and complex, like an aged wine or vinegar. Tangy and sharp notes are byproducts of the use of bacteria strains like lactobacillus in the fermentation process. If part of that process La Folie is one of New Belgium takes place inside wooden barrels that previousBrewing Company’s annual ly held wine or whiskey, the beer absorbs addisour beers. tional flavor. New Belgium has used this process C O U R T E S Y W O R L D O F B EER for a number of years, annually releasing sour beers La Folie and Le Terroir, and expanding the brewery’s sour offerings with variations on the theme. Doss hosts an event called “Acid Trip” at Courtyard Brewery (1020 Erato St.; www.courtyardbrewing.com) Sept. 24. The event features La Folie, Le Terroir, Eric’s Ale, a peach-spiked sour ale, and Snapshot, an unfiltered wheat ale with a bit of lactobacillus that gives it a refreshing tang. There also will be a couple of yet-to-bedetermined special kegs. Since it falls on Courtyard’s weekly Bring Your Own Vinyl Night, there will be a panel of judges to decide who brought the best music. New Belgium-sponsored prizes will be awarded. Two other events will be held in the Warehouse District on Friday, Sept. 25: a beer-and-food pairing event at Cochon Butcher (930 Tchoupitoulas St., 504-588-7675; www.cochonbutcher.com) from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., followed by the tapping of a special keg at World of Beer (300 Julia St., 504-299-3599; worldofbeer.com/locations/ warehousedistrict) at 9 p.m. The Cochon Butcher beer pairing is a casual affair, and several of the restaurant’s small plates will be offered with New Belgium beers. On Satruday, Sept. 26, Doss will attend NOLA on Tap (www.nolaontap.org), the beer festival benefiting the Louisiana SPCA at New Orleans City Park Festival Grounds. — NORA McGUNNIGLE Email Nora McGunnigle at nora@nolabeerblog.com

WINE of the week 2013 Triton Mencia BIERZO, SPAIN RETAIL $14

The already-popular Bierzo, in a mountainous area of northwestern Spain is gaining followers as red wine enthusiasts discover the Mencia grape, which is often compared to cabernet Franc and pinot noir. The grapes are related to Portugal’s jaen du dao varietal and likely were planted by travelers from northern Portugal. A project of Jorge Ordonez, who is responsible for exporting many top Spanish wines, this award-winning bottling offers distinctive flavors and excellent structure. Forty-two acres of vineyards are planted at 1,660 feet elevation on mountainside plots, mostly in slate soils. The climate is affected by the Atlantic coast and summers are warm and dry. In the cellar, the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and transferred to used 1- to 3-year-old French oak barrels, comprised of 70 percent Burgundy and 30 percent Bordeaux casks, for 10 months of barrel aging. In the glass, the wine offers aromas of dark berries, tobacco notes, some earthiness and minerality. On the palate, taste black currant, sour cherry, cassis, a hint of licorice, peppercorns, spice and firm tannins. Decant 45 minutes before serving. Drink it with roast lamb, charcuterie, veal, beef, game and poultry. Buy it at: Martin Wine Cellar. Drink it at: Cane & Table. — BRENDA MAITLAND Email Brenda Maitland at winediva1@bellsouth.net

MUSIC LISTINGS PREVIEW

Chelsea Wolfe with Wovenhand

Chelsea Wolfe’s middle name is Joy, as in enjoy the irony. The Sacramento-born hellion’s label debut came in 2010 with the illustrative The Grime and the Glow; nine months later, she delivered the omen that got her noticed, Apokalypsis, a botched exorcism that nods in multiple directions as it nods off: reptilian metal-molting, dissonant ’90s sound gardens, ectoplasmic trip-hop and black-nailed, blank-eyed goth rock. Her two full-length follow-ups bear the same mark of the beast: 2013’s Pain Is Beauty, a focused yet SEPT Chelsea Wolfe thorough conflation of her two primawith Wovenhand ry motivations; and the current Abyss 8 p.m. Thursday (Sargant House), wherein she kills off half of her double life and takes the road more One Eyed Jacks, troubled. Enlisting the earth-fissuring 615 Toulouse St. help of producer John Congleton (Swans, (504) 569-8361 Explosions in the Sky), Wolfe finds new fury on “Carrion Flowers,” whose strucwww.oneeyedjacks.net ture consists entirely of her nightmarish wails and nine disturbingly distorted knocks on death’s door, repeated long after it’s obvious no one is answering. This eardrum-buzzing current waxes and wanes, but it never disappears, resembling a tendon-snapping doom remix more than the photophobic folk to which she’s accustomed. Halfway through the penultimate “Color of Blood,” just when it seems to have gone silent, it surges back like angina. That track follows “Survive,” which follows “Simple Death.” Inside this hurt locker, they are the only exits. Wovenhand, aka able Cain-slayer David Eugene Edwards (ex-16 Horsepower), opens.

Learning to Drive

Learning to Drive Directed by Isabel Coixet Starring Patricia Clarkson and Ben Kingsley Limited release

First espoused by French filmmakers and critics in the 1950s, the auteur theory suggests that the director is the primary artist behind a film. This idea may seem obvious now but was revolutionary for its time, arriving near the end of an era in which Hollywood’s studio-centered model for film production had brought decades of creative success. Today, no one questions the primacy of directors or the crucial contributions made by screenwriters, cinematographers and many others who leave their creative mark on a movie. But are there films for which actors — the sometimes-undervalued artists who actually appear on screen — should be acknowledged as the dominant creative force? Learning to Drive is based on a personal essay by noted feminist author Katha Pollitt that was first published by The New Yorker in 2002. It offers a snapshot of the author’s life shortly after her longtime lover left her for a much younger woman. The film went through a nine-year development process as producer Dana Friedman organized the creative team for a narrative film based on an essay she held dear. Sarah Kernochan (Impromptu) wrote the screenplay and award-winning Spanish filmmaker Isabel Coixet (Elegy) directed the film. But the best reason to see the mostly bland and underpowered Learning to Drive is the artistry of its two lead actors, New Orleans native Patricia Clarkson (The Station Agent) and Ben Kingsley (Gandhi). The film’s opening scene introduces us to Manhattan book critic Wendy (Clarkson) and her husband Ted (Jake Weber) as they pile into a cab driven by Darwan (Kingsley). Ted has just announced at dinner that he’s leaving Wendy after 21 years of marriage. Wendy’s rage and hysteria causes her to leave a manuscript in the cab, which comes in handy later: Darwan also works as a driving instructor and Wendy is going to have to learn this basic skill to visit her daughter Tasha (Grace Gummer, Frances Ha) in Vermont. The story quickly becomes one of an evolving friendship between Wendy and Darwan, a Sikh from India and a political refugee who is about to enter into an arranged marriage. The many conversations between Wendy and Darwan inside a driving-school car anchor the film as each learns from the other’s unique and culturally based perspective on love and marriage. Both Clarkson and Kingsley bring an unmistakable humanity to characters that might have dissolved into stereotypes. There is humor of the broad and non-threatening variety, but the film is far more character study than comedy. Apart from the lead performances, Learning to Drive is at its best when providing glimpses of the Sikh community in Queens — as well as scenes in which Darwan stoically suffers through racist insults in the streets — in part because it reminds us how infrequently cultures like this are depicted on film in the U.S. The screenplay breaks down when it shames Wendy through her pathetic early efforts to win back her husband at any cost. This material also betrays the ultimately defiant spirit of Pollitt’s essay, which perhaps too easily dismisses the author’s former lover as a “psychopath.” Learning to Drive finds its voice by examining the dramatic upheavals that often occur late in life when we least expect them. It’s about finding new perspectives when the culture may be telling you you’re too old to change. Ironically, given America’s aging population, this may be a subject with a very bright future. — KEN KORMAN

ART LISTINGS REVIEW

Work by Willie Birch, Bruce Davenport, Whitfield Lovell and Gordon Parks

Black lives matter. All lives matter. Both statements are true, but it is astounding that we are still debating the meaning of those words. We accept equal rights in theory, but things don’t always play out that way on the streets. The past lingers paradoxically in the present, and in Whitfield Lovell’s haunting charcoal drawings on wood, images of African-Americans from old photographs appear to pose silent questions. In You’re My Thrill (pictured), a mid-century war veteran clutches a pistol as he sits in reverie amid a cluster of shell casings. Did he fight for America or for the promise of America? In Servilis, a group of black Victorian-era maids pose stiffly in dark uniforms behind taxidermed crows perched rigidly on pedestals. In America, a stoic black man in a Seen and Unseen: Coupling: suit seems to recede into the dark THRU woodwork of a fence festooned SEPT Drawings by Willie Birch with American flags. In these and The Dapper Bruce Lafitte other works, Lovell eloquently exintroduces: Draw Like a Butplores how America’s understandterfly, Sting Like a Bee: Drawing of black identity remains a work ings by Bruce Davenport in progress.

Some seem 432 Julia St., (504) 522-1999 bleak, but by rendering them in a www.arthurrogergallery.com respectful, evocative manner, Birch transforms long-neglected places and things into objects of contemplation that enable more lucid access to their deeper meaning. Nearby, Gordon Parks’ photographs of Muhammad Ali working out in the ring and hanging out with friends take us to an earlier and perhaps more hopeful time while reminding us of the sheer dynamism that the legendary boxer so inexorably conveyed. On the opposite wall, Bruce Davenport’s curiously hieroglyphiclike drawings feature whimsical views of Ali’s exploits in the ring rendered with the contrapuntal whimsy that characterize his well-known depictions of local high school marching bands. — D.

During a tea party, Marie Antoinette — wearing a Cyndi Lauper-inspired tulle dress, blue wig and strings of pearls — complains that she feels trapped in the Palace of Versailles. The French queen, who was married to Louis XVI at age 14 to Louis XVI, takes a bite of expensive chocolate and sighs, saying she’s misunderstood by the public, in The NOLA Project’s production of Marie Antoinette at NOCCA’s Nims Black Box Theatre. Written by David Adjmi, the show chronicles the years after Louis XVI (A.J. Allegra) ascends to the throne, which makes Austrian-born Marie (Cecile Monteyne) the Queen of France. In the run-up to the French Revolution, she deals with public scrutiny of her opulent lifestyle and failure to bear an heir quickly. Marie Antoinette THRU The story takes place in the late 1700s, but this producSEPT 8 p.m. Thu.-Sat.; 2 p.m. Sun. tion links Marie’s life to modern celebrity culture through NOCCA, Nims Black Box pop music interludes featuring Miley Cyrus and Lorde. Theatre, 2800 Chartres St. The contemporary framework, complete with paparazzi mob videos, frames the queen’s story in comtemporary (504) 940-2787 ideas of wealth and fame. It also gives the production a www.nolaproject.com stunning visually and thematically stylized aesthetic. Initially, Marie’s wardrobe, beautifully designed by Tickets: (504) 302-9117 Shauna Leone, is chic — full of trippy colors, broaches and elbow-length gloves. As the story progresses, the clothes are literally stripped away, creating stark contrast as she is disempowered. Bill Walker’s impressive set is a platform shaped like a guillotine, with a blade and two chair-sized screws. In an excellent performance, Monteyne delivers a slow burn, going from a seemingly vapid teen queen to a humiliated but resilient figure. There’s a hypnotic quality to Monteyne’s presence as she transforms from out-of-touch queen to a vulnerable woman who can no longer control her life. Marie’s fierce personality contrasts with Louis XVI, who’s as insecure as he is indecisive. The king is challenged, directly and surreptitiously, by Marie’s brother Joseph (Will Bowling) and the charming Axel Fersen (James Yeargain), with whom the queen has sexual tension. Allegra’s childlike king gets big laughs as Monteyne’s comedic foil. As the revolution erupts, the mobs descend on the palaces. In a gripping scene, Marie, who’s lost everything, has her formerly big and beautiful hair forcefully cut off by a revolutionary (Graham Burk), who is chilling as he collects her locks in a bucket. The dethroned queen musters whatever strength she can as she awaits trial.
