Eddie Griffin

BY WILL COVIELLO

SAT. SEPT. 21 | Eddie Griffin played a pastor in 2018’s “A Star is Born,”

IN “LOVE LETTERS OF WORLD WAR II,” dancers Elle C. Jones and Clinton

Parfait star as Yvette and Roger, a young French couple whose relationship began while they were separated during World War II. They may have shared a secret adolescent romance while neighbors in Caen, a town in Normandy, but the courtship blossomed via exchanged letters after the war started and Roger was forced to go to a German work camp. “He lived to get a letter from Yvette,” says Sarah Quintana. That courtship is the basis of an EP Quintana and accordionist Christophe Lampidecchia released in France. She releases a version in the U.S. this week, and Melange Dance Company has choreographed a fulllength work set to it and music of the period. “Love Letters of World War II” debuts with live music by Quintana at the Marigny Opera House Sept. 20-22. Quintana grew up in New Orleans, and she performs in both the U.S. and France. In 2016, Julie Rouge, who produced some of her performances, shared a box of letters from her grandmother, Yvette. The letters detailed Yvette and Roger’s relationship, recording the absurdity of their situation. Roger was hit by shrapnel when the camp was bombed shortly after he arrived. Yvette wrote to him about a red handbag she wanted to buy, but she swore she wouldn’t carry it in public until he returned. Their bond grew stronger, and though it was a year after the war before they reunited, Roger walked from Brussels to Paris to be with her, Quintana says. Quintana is interested in folk and jazz music, including musette and French jazz styles of the first half of the 20th century. Lampidecchia is interested in American early jazz styles. They received a grant to develop

At 7:30 p.m. at Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts. songs telling Roger and Yvette’s story, with Quintana providing lyrics in French. They also received a second grant to expand their work about letters exchanged by other soldiers and their loved ones. For Melange Dance Company, founder Monica Ordonez has choreographed several works about historical figures and movements, including civil rights activists. Presented in December 2017, “Journey of Dreamers” explored the history of immigration to America, especially through New York’s Ellis Island. In June, she started working on “Love Letters.” It tells the story of two people caught up in the great forces of history. Jones and Parfait often dance onstage together, at times in duets in which they imagine reuniting. There are 15 dancers in the show, and Ordonez keeps the stage busy, with dancers swirling around the couple and acting out parts of the story, as when Roger is dragged to the camp. During “J’Attendrai,” or “I Will Wait,” several women share a camaraderie of checking mailboxes, and there also is anxiety about when the men will come home or stray from the relationships. Other characters include an American couple separated by the war. While the songs are in French, there are English translations and voiced-over narratives.

“Love Letters” also addresses what comes after the war, and how they might change the world they’ll have to rebuild. Roger and Yvette’s town of Caen was almost destroyed during the war. There also were personal changes. When Roger came home from the war, his family noticed he would sing, which he had not done before. In a letter to Yvette, Roger explained, “When one is in love, it’s not the same.”

# The Count

Thumbs Up/ Thumbs Down

Zachary Richard, the Cajun singer and cultural activist, was named an Officer in the French Academic Palms during a recent ceremony. The award is given to “those who have rendered eminent service to French education and have contributed actively to the prestige of French culture.” Richard has been an advocate for French language education in Louisiana for decades.

Jordy Robertson, the father

of “Saints superfan” Jarrius “JJ” Robinson, pleaded guilty to conspiring to sell drugs and raiding funds from “It Takes Lives to Save Lives” — the organization he had founded to help JJ fight liver disease. He was charged with dealing cocaine and wire fraud in connection with the monies raised. His son, a minor, was not involved with his father’s activities.

A WWL radio employee

with access to the station’s verified Twitter account tweeted a gay slur last week toward one of the station’s sports hosts, Seth Dunlap, who is gay. The station removed the tweet and announced an investigation, but the incident received local and national coverage, giving the station a major black eye. Dunlap did his regular radio show hours later, but later announced he was taking an indefinite leave of absence.

8 million feet The amount of drain lines in the city controlled by the Department of Public Works (DPW). P H OTO C O U R T E S Y FAC E B O O K

WHO SENT THE TWEET? ONE DAY AFTER ANNOUNCING A TEMPORARY LEAVE OF ABSENCE from his job at WWL Radio, sports host Seth Dunlap issued a lengthy statement about his decision through his attorney, Megan C. Kiefer — while not making it clear whether or not he was stepping down. “Living as an openly gay man can be difficult. Living as an openly gay man in the Deep South is even more difficult,” the statement began. “Living as an openly gay man in the Deep South with a career in sports broadcasting, a career field that is traditionally highly homophobic, is incomprehensibly challenging. While I had developed emotional armor throughout my life, that armor was shattered earlier this week when my sexuality became the focus of local and national news headlines as a result of a hateful and homophobic Twitter attack from the official Twitter account of my employer.” WWL Radio’s official Twitter account was used by someone to direct a gay slur at the sports talk show host Tuesday. Dunlap had tweeted a link to a post he wrote about five overreactions to results from the first week of the National Football League’s 2019 regular season and asked which of those wasn’t actually an overreaction. Someone logged into WWL Radio’s verified Twitter account and retweeted Dunlap — who is gay — and said, “That you’re a fag.” Minutes later, the tweet was deleted from the station’s account. But it didn’t vanish before many people screen-captured the tweet, ensuring the story went national overnight in sports circles. Kiefer, an attorney who has worked on LGBT issues, wouldn’t comment on whether Dunlap planned to take legal action against WWL Radio down the road. “Seth reached out to me ... to help him navigate this intense attention coming from local and national media solely due to his position as a gay man in this heterosexually-dominated sports world,” Kiefer said. “He’s very affected by this, and that’s where our focus is right now: to send a message to everyone that this is not OK, this is intolerable, and if there’s any LGBTQ people struggling, that they’re not alone.” Kiefer said Dunlap intended “to stand up for what is right. ... Categorically, this hate speech is unacceptable at the workplace or anywhere.” Kiefer declined comment on WWL Radio’s investigation, other than to say that she was unaware if the station had yet identified the person responsible for the tweet. Dunlap’s statement comes as station management has been investigating current and past employees who have had access to the Twitter account. They’re looking to determine who sent the offensive tweet PAGE 9

At a Sept. 11 meeting of the New Orleans City Council, DPW president Keith LaGrange told councilmembers that the department has inspected 300,000 feet of the lines. According to a WWLTV report, the DPW is responsible for drain lines with diameters smaller than 36 inches. Anything larger than that is handled by the New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board.

‘Music for Mental Health’ Sept. 19 at Gasa Gasa In Wilco’s 1999 song “She’s a Jar,” there’s a line that goes: “When I forget how to talk, I sing.” Kathryn Rose Wood, the music therapist and singer-songwriter behind New Orleans’ annual Music for Mental Health benefit concert, said that’s the idea behind the event — connecting and reaching people

through song and helping them find the means to express themselves and seek help. “Oftentimes, people don’t know or can’t find the words to say how they feel or what they want to say, but they can point out a song that describes it or sounds like the feeling,” Wood said. The third iteration of the concert is Friday, Sept. 20 at Gasa Gasa (during Suicide Prevention Awareness Month) and includes performances by Kristin Diable, Spirit McIntyre, Dominic Minix, Assata Renay and Paul Sanchez. Performers will sit on stage, alternate songs, share stories behind the music and talk about their mental health struggles. “The storytelling piece brings out the purpose to the music and shows how music is powerful and helpful in coping, managing and communicating,” Wood said. “We’ve had some really powerful experiences in the past few years, performers who have kind of gone deeper than I think some people go in therapy, sharing their stories of why they wrote songs or what feeling they were in at that time. You’re trying to be really vulnerable and honest.” Mental health resources will be available on site for event attendees, including the North American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, National Alliance on Mental Illness, the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic, Project Fleur-de-lis and the Brett Thomas Doussan (BTD) Foundation. Proceeds from the event will benefit a new youth-focused outreach program called “Music for Mental Health: In Schools.” Wood started the concert series in 2017 following the 2015 suicide of her 19-year-old brother, Preston. She said music helped her through the grieving process. — KAYLEE POCHE

Mia X to teach hip-hop classes at Loyola New Orleans rapper Mia Young, known as Mia X is a songwriter, actress, author, chef and most recently — one of Loyola University New Orleans’ newest faculty additions. Young will teach hip-hop-related courses at the university. Melissa Weber, also known as DJ Soul Sister, recommended Young for the position. Weber was named curator of Tulane’s Hogan Jazz Archive last month. Young rose to national fame in the 1990s when Master P signed her to his label No Limit Records. She was the label’s first female artist. She broke into the Billboard charts with her second studio album, “Unlady Like,” in 1997 and again with the release of her third album, “Mama Drama,” the following year. — KAYLEE POCHE

Tuesday from an iPhone, a move that set off a controversy that has lasted all week. It is not clear if that investigation has wrapped up, when it may conclude or if it has identified any suspects. Days before the tweet, Dunlap had written a lengthy Facebook post about the difficulties he’d faced working in sports media as a gay man. That post was an open letter to Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who at that point had been ensnared in his own controversy by appearing in a video that was created by Focus on the Family — whose anti-LGBTQ stances are well-documented — to promote Oct. 3 as “Bring Your Bible to School Day.” Hours after the slur toward Dunlap appeared on the station’s account, WWL Radio said it was “categorically offensive and abhorrent.” The station also promised an internal investigation which would result in “swift and appropriate action once we determine how this occurred.” One day later, WWL Senior Vice President Kevin Cassidy sent an internal memo expressing support for Dunlap. The station’s management didn’t issue any other statements, however, saying it wasn’t allowed to speak until parent company Entercom investigated. Hosts had since discussed the incident on their shows but refrained from giving updates on where the investigation into the tweet stood. Dunlap hosted his evening show, “The Last Lap With Seth Dunlap,” on Tuesday night, tweeting, “I’m just going to really enjoy knowing somebody is exceptionally upset I get to talk sports every night for a living.” But that was the last time he was on the air. He took the next night off, saying he wanted to “reflect and decompress” after being overwhelmed by the reaction to the tweet from a day earlier. “Many people had asked why I chose to take a leave of absence from my duties on-air, believing that I was ‘letting bigotry win’,” he wrote in his statement. “This isn’t about winning or losing to me. Rather, it is a painful step that I had to take to step away from a job that I love for my emotional and mental well-being.” — KEVIN ALLMAN & RAMON ANTONIO VARGAS

Latest poll a boost for Edwards, but it’s early yet 19/20

Louisiana voters holds good news for Gov. John Bel Edwards, but it’s far too early for any end zone dances. The survey of 500 “chronic” voters shows Edwards leading both his major Republican challengers combined — and 23 percentage points ahead of his closest opponent. Although Edwards captures a majority of the “decided” vote in the poll, he remains just shy of a majority in what pollsters call “the raw numbers.” The survey was taken Sept. 3-6 by veteran pollster Bernie Pinsonat for private subscribers. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4%, which is standard for statewide polls. Here are the numbers: John Bel Edwards, 47% Ralph Abraham, 24% Eddie Rispone, 16% Undecided, 14% “If the governor’s election were held as this survey was completed — very likely Governor John Bel Edwards would be re-elected,” Pinsonat wrote in his analysis of the poll results. “With a month left, several key demographic factors will impact Edwards being re-elected or forced into a runoff.” Those factors include turnout, of course, but equally important will be Edwards’ share of the white vote, which leans heavily Republican in Louisiana. The governor garnered 30% of the white vote in Pinsonat’s poll. On Election Day that would be just enough to put him over the top, assuming a proportionate turnout among black voters, who gave Edwards 87% in the survey. Abraham led among white voters, but only barely — 34% to Edwards’ 30% and Rispone’s 21%. Pinsonat said Edwards’ ability to hold at least 30% of the white vote is “the big unknown” in the Oct. 12 primary. “Every vote that he gets above 30% among whites helps him win it all in the primary,”

Pinsonat said. “If he falls below 30% among whites, his chances of having to go to a runoff increase.” Other good news for Edwards in the poll: He leads Abraham and Rispone comfortably in all four major geographic areas of the state, and likewise among men, women and all age groups — particularly among voters over age 50, who historically are the most chronic voters. Edwards also leads among women by a huge margin — 54% to Abraham’s 21% and Rispone’s 13%. Pinsonat notes that Abraham and Rispone “are both performing poorly” in metro New Orleans, where Edwards gets 57% to Abraham’s 19% and Rispone’s 10%. Abraham is a congressman from Alto, in northeast Louisiana. Rispone is a wealthy Baton Rouge businessman making his first bid for public office. The two men share the state GOP’s endorsement. “Eddie Rispone is underperforming with white voters,” Pinsonat wrote. “Unless Rispone improves dramatically with this demographic group, his odds of making a runoff are slim.” Pinsonat notes that Abraham has “made significant progress in Acadiana,” but he still trails Edwards there (38-29%) and in his home base of north Louisiana (39-26%). Despite the poll’s good news for Edwards, Pinsonat warns the governor against popping corks too soon. “A month can be an eternity in any election,” he said, “but Abraham and Rispone have to capture a lot more voters or neither will be around for a runoff.”

BLAKE PONTCHARTRAIN™ @GambitBlake | askblake@gambitweekly.com

Hey Blake, Near Royal and St. Louis streets, across from the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel, there’s a horse trough with tiles spelling out the name “Anna D. Vincent.” Who is she and why is her name there?

Dear reader,

Anna Dellaway Vincent and her husband, Col. William Germain Vincent, were prominent citizens of New Orleans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Anna was a native of Boston and William was born in Norfolk, Virginia in 1828 but grew up in New Orleans. His Oct. 29, 1916 Times-Picayune obituary called him the last local survivor of the Mexican-American War and a Confederate officer during the Civil War. After the Civil War, William entered the wholesale auction business and invested in real estate. The newspaper called him a “man of brilliant mind, of many attainments.” He built a home at 2016 St. Charles Ave., where he and Anna entertained often, particularly at Mardi Gras. Wil-

liam served on the boards of Charity Hospital and the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Free Hospital. The couple had no children, and when William died in 1916, his will called for a portion of his estate to be given to local institutions, including $30,000 to Charity Hospital to build a ward for treating contagious diseases. Gifts of $1,000 each were given to the Little Sisters of the Poor, the Jewish Orphans’ Home and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. That money was to be used for horse troughs bearing his wife Anna’s name. When Anna died in 1924, her will included a donation of $150,000 to Loyola University and $60,000 for a fund at Tulane University to study tropical diseases and hygiene. “Col. and Mrs. Vincent were among the most forward of our citizens,” the New Orleans States wrote in a July 25, 1924 editorial. “How much their hearts were attuned to the welfare of the community is reflected in their bequests to our educational and charitable institutions.”

BLAKEVIEW FILMMAKER KEN BURNS turns his attention to “Country Music” this week with the premiere of his new 16-hour PBS documentary series. With that in mind, we remember the “Louisiana Hayride,” the radio and television show that helped launch the careers of some of the greatest names in country music. Debuting in April 1948, the live music show was broadcast from the Shreveport Municipal Auditorium by radio station KWKH. The Saturday night program was heard by listeners in 28 states and later was syndicated on the CBS radio network. While Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry showcased more established country artists, “Hayride” was known for giving exposure to up-and-coming musicians. Hank Williams was a regular on the show in its initial season. Elvis Presley debuted on “Hayride” on Oct. 16, 1954. After his performance, host Horace Logan told him, “They’ve been looking for something new in the folk music field for a long time and I think you’ve got it.” In 1955, Presley made his first-ever TV appearance, singing on the television version of the show. After Elvis’ final appearance there in 1956, emcee Logan coined a phrase by telling the frenzied audience “Elvis has left the building!” Other stars who performed on “Louisiana Hayride” during its 12-year run included Johnny Cash, George Jones, Willie Nelson, Buck Owens, Kitty Wells, Slim Whitman and Floyd Cramer.

BY HO LLY HO B BS “I LIKE TO WRITE NEW SONGS THAT SOUND OLD AND OLD SONGS THAT SOUND NEW,” Sabine McCalla says. That may not be a surprise to listeners familiar with her older sister, cellist Leyla McCalla, a former member of the string band the Carolina Chocolate Drops. But Sabine has followed her own muse. The McCallas were born to Haitian parents who immigrated to the U.S. during the reign of Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier and grew up in New Jersey. Sabine learned to play violin but focused more on folk music sounds, especially from the South, when she attended college in North Carolina.

“I started writing poetry and later added instrumentation,” she says. Sabine became interested in Appalachian balladry and learned to play guitar. She digs to the roots of things, teasing out the strands that bind the past to the present. Sabine moved to New Orleans five years ago, drawn by the desire to develop her singing after listening to Irma Thomas, Ernie K. Doe and other early New Orleans R&B stars. Since then, she has worked to move from the shadow of her sister and make a sonic space of her own, singing backup for a number of different outfits, including the psych rock of Tasche de la

Rocha’s Psychedelic Roses and the honky-tonk of the Jon Hatchett Band. She immersed herself in a growing community of musicians in the Holy Cross neighborhood. Taking inspiration from jazz, country blues, calypso, New Orleans R&B and Haitian creole compas, Sabine has honed her own timeless sound, crafting songs with sparse vocal lines, often backed by dual harmonies. Her first EP, “Folk,” was released by Mashed Potato Records, co-run by The Deslondes’ Sam Doores, who also played piano on the EP. “Folk” exposes Sabine’s love of laments and folk spirituals, her penchant for simple truths and her interest in divining fundamental wisdom about love and loss from a small tangle of words. “Folk” made its way to the desk of New York-based producer Eli “Paperboy” Reed, who invited her to perform in the city and supported her fledgling career. Reed encouraged Sabine to form her own band, planting the seeds for Sabine McCalla & the Dew Drops, the name taken from the storied New Orleans music club, the Dew Drop Inn. The lineup includes organ and piano player Casey McAl-

lister (Hurray for the Riff Raff), backup vocalist Casey Jane, drummer Nick Shoulders and bassist Sarah Weinstein. Sabine and the Dew Drops style themselves as a classic New Orleans-style R&B band with elements of doo wop, blues, Caribbean rhythms and soul. The group is developing its sound and is working on a full-length album. “I’m inspired by my friends, my family, the city itself and the different music that I’m learning about,” Sabine says. “In New Orleans, there is always music around me. It follows me and I follow it.”

musically, is to make things that are relatable to people who have suffered grief and loss and loneliness and depression and mental health issues and abuse and bad men,” Stafford says, “and trying to hold that space for those people and make something for them to make the loneliness less acute — because at least someone else is lonely and sad, too.” As a band, Treadles folds together elements of folk, punk, disjointed rhythms and quiet-loud rock ’n’ roll brimming with bright harmonies and shrouded in darkness, with keyboardist Emily Hafner, bassist Rustle Pants and drummer Ian Paine-Jesam. Guitarist Switch joined the band in early 2019. (“The louds are a lot louder now,” Stafford says.) “I didn’t want to be one of those bands that’s all dudes and then one not-dude who’s the front person,” Stafford says. “Not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just not what I wanted. I was particularly interested in giving a space and a voice and platform to a woman or nonbinary person.” Stafford also is one of the newest members of Louisiana’s metal megalith Thou, performing highlights “The Hammer” and “Fallow State” from the band’s 2018’s album “Inconsolable,” a nearly acoustic but just-as-heavy reimagining of the band’s waste-laying thunder. (“Those fuckers made me learn how to use a guitar pick!” Stafford says.) With Thou and Treadles, Stafford’s unique and agile voice twists each sound into rough shapes and soft edges, channeling the space for the band’s emotional performance, where loving camaraderie and goofball affection are equally crucial. “If I take the concept of KC’s lyrics and songs and apply them to myself, I can have my own space and relate and do my best with my own feelings toward the songs,” Paine-Jesam says. “To be in a band together and talk openly about our feelings or emotions is truly a great and welcoming experience.” The band’s 2017 six-song release “Bees Are Thieves Too” (Community Records) braids its gripping harmonies, warm finger-picked guitars and jazz-inflected percussion around prickly arrangements and a raging emotional hearth. This summer, Saddle Creek Records released a double-sided single from Treadles as part of the label’s Document series spotlighting artists that aren’t on its roster. On “Cold,” the band screams through a collapsing coda of “try not to think about it.” On “Iron,” Stafford eulogizes the warmth of the sun, seemingly within reach but as remote as the “love” that’s

missing. Both songs channel loss, frustration in isolation and a longing for what feels impossibly far. Recorded in November 2018, the band’s forthcoming full-length album was written amid a low point, Stafford says, “as a coping mechanism as to try to not die.” The resulting album, due later this year, is a dark, cathartic release from pain, wrapped in the band’s tender arrangements. “The lyrics are pretty consistently emotionally brutal,” Stafford says. “The whole thing is about grief and loss and fury, and in some ways camaraderie between women and queer people, and feeling brutalized by society over and over again, and having that little nugget of fury to cling to. I guess that’s the hopeful part of the album.” Sonically, the album explores the band’s growing quiet-loud dynamic and incorporates elements of folk and hardcore punk. At the band’s core is a desire to be free from suffering. “It’s like writing in a diary,” Stafford says. “Once you’ve explained how you felt, you have more access to process it and work through it. It’s therapy in a way. If you just internalize your feelings, you’re never going to be able to work through them. By putting feelings into words and music and then putting them out there, it’s kind of like letting them go.”

Emily McWilliams is Silver Godling.

AS A PROFESSIONAL PIANO TUNER, EMILY MCWILLIAMS IS AMONG A SMALL POOL OF NEW ORLEANS PIANISTS who also can command the insides of the instrument. As a piano teacher, she’s reminded of the device’s foundations, seeing through fresh eyes how students learn an instrument and then opening herself to its possibilities. She must “not only have an understanding of how the inside of a piano works, but the actual experience of making it work the best it can,” she says. “I’m aware of the feel and knowing how I can change that.” As Silver Godling, McWilliams pairs her lush, twisting piano compositions with her operatic voice and fierce poetry. McWilliams grew up in a family of pianists — her father was a concert piano technician — and began learning to play piano at 7 years old. As a student at Ridgewood Preparatory School and Loyola University New Orleans, her classical training also fell under the influence of Bjork’s wandering imagination, Cocteau Twins’ ethereal plains and other classically trained conjurers Tori Amos and Kate Bush. “The human voice is capable of more expression than any other instrument — the piano is a close second,” she says. “Singing for me is the ultimate form of expression, emotion, our way of relaying so much of our own personal experiences.” McWilliams debuted Silver Godling in 2014 at Not Enough Fest, a formerly annual local DIY

showcase of new bands featuring women and queer people. McWilliams also performs as a keyboardist and vocalist with the touring trio for MJ Guider, the dark pop project from New Orleans musician and visual artist Melissa Guion, who also accompanied McWilliams with Thou as a vocalist on its critically acclaimed 2018 album “Inconsolable.” McWilliams’ vocals defined the sound and presence of the album and on an international tour that showcased that decidedly divergent side of the metal band. “Inconsolable” encompasses beauty, sadness, heaviness and light, a range of emotion and weight that defies the genre’s often-singular stereotypes and proves a metal album doesn’t have to check “very specific boxes,” McWilliams says. McWilliams’ forthcoming album as Silver Godling features collaborations with Beck Levy, prolific New Orleans punk drummer Steve Wiegand, and members of punk bands Treadles and Ex Specter. The debut Silver Godling album was released earlier this year. As prose, her lyrics tread through bones, flesh, soil, dirt, rot and ripening, connecting bodies electric to their intimate surroundings. On “The Comfortable Place of Ripping Oneself Apart,” McWilliams finds solace within it: “It is a place to melt into the earth / It is a place of exhaustion / It is a place of sorrow / It is one of my many homes.” McWilliams’ piano playing is anchored by bassist Michael Moises and Andy Gibbs, who shrouds her

arrangements with skeletal drum machines and electronic pulses. On “Magick to Spoil, Magick to Preserve,” the verse’s spare kick drum gives way to a haunting groove, a glacial static pierced by McWilliams’ vocals. “When it comes out, it sounds the way it sounds,” she says. “I got my mom’s voice, so it’s similar to her. It’s this thing that’s in my blood. I love moving my voice all over. I love how that feels, how that sounds with expression.” Her voice wanders, climbs and falls, freely exploring her depths and heights. “I don’t like singing breathy and holding my voice back, enclosing it — that doesn’t feel natural to me,” she says. “I don’t like singing limited to my range. I like letting it meander. That all comes back to using it as an ultimate form of expression. … I don’t like the idea of limiting my voice. I’ve limited myself in other situations. [Singing] is this release for me.”

NEW ORLEANS’ DIY AND EXPERIMENTAL ART AND MUSIC SCENES ARE QUIETLY flourishing, and the guitar-driven art rock group Primpce is a prime example. Guitarist David Sigler and drummer Alex Brownstein-Carter created the costume-wearing, counterpointloving, mind-melting band in New Orleans, but they began playing music together while growing up in Montgomery, Alabama. “We were in a guitar class in junior high together and liked to goof around a lot,” Sigler says. “We started a band called Tubby Custard, and we played one show. It was our junior high crush’s 13th birthday party. We started to play the first song, and we caused so much commotion that her mom came outside and shut it down.” After that, their musical paths diverged. Sigler turned to classical guitar, while Brownstein-Carter played various instruments in punk and garage rock bands. They began collaborating again when they were in college, although BrownsteinCarter went to school in Colorado and Sigler was in Georgia. Sigler helped Brownstein-Carter compose a song for what was to be his solo album, but the two soon realized they had untapped musical chemistry. When Sigler moved to New Orleans, Brownstein-Carter would fly in to record music, until Sigler convinced him to move here full time.

“I’d just dropped out of school and wasn’t sure what I was going to do,” Brownstein-Carter says. “We hatched this plan for me to move to New Orleans and work in the service industry with David and pursue a band.” It took them longer than expected to complete the first Primpce album, “The Best Thing to Get to Do Is to Learn to Inspire You.” Both of them were in relationships and enjoying their mid-20s in New Orleans. When the record finally was finished in 2016, they felt it was a one-off project and never expected to play their strange, complex arrangements in a live setting. “In a way, that was really freeing because we thought, ‘We’ll record whatever we want to and not ever have to think about playing it live. We’ll make it the most maximalist, unadulterated musical endeavor possible,’ ” Sigler says. When they started toying with the idea of a live ensemble, they found that most of the friends they tried out on guitar were not able to play their jittery, interweaving riffs. Then local guitarist Eric Buller contacted them after finding their album on Facebook. Bassist Joe Ceponis, another childhood friend from Montgomery who had moved to New Orleans, joined the group, and in May 2017, the band played its first show at Banks Street Bar. Last year, Primpce began working on a sophomore album. The original idea was to record in a studio as a four-piece band, but it quickly became clear that wouldn’t work. “It would require a whole different process that’s contrary to the way we compose music,” Sigler says. “We like to compose and record as we go and have numerous instruments and call shots on a whim.” They went back to what worked the first time, with Sigler and Brownstein-Carter dividing the labor. The new album promises to be as bizarre and contrapuntal as the first, with a few key changes. “On the last album, there was more focus on non-musical sounds and field recordings that we’d find in the natural world,” Brownstein-Carter says. “If there’s an overarching theme on this one, it’s taking Muzak and manipulating it into something new, trying to create something interesting out of something that’s totally kitsch.” The album is half-finished, with an anticipated 2020 release and a subsequent summer tour.

of Palm & Pine depicts the restaurant’s culinary territory: the American South, the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America. That’s a lot of ground to cover, and chefs and proprietors Amarys and Jordan Herndon approach the task with creativity and enthusiasm. Prior to opening Palm & Pine in July, both chefs had worked in local kitchens including Arnaud’s, Bayona and Ralph’s on the Park. The Herndons also honed their style through The Old Portage pop-up, where they experimented with dishes that more closely resembled the semi-tropical fare at Palm & Pine. Their restaurant spans the length of a deep, narrow room, with two bars running along one side, the first for cocktails and the second overlooking an open kitchen. Diners can hear chefs calling out orders, bringing a lively intimacy to a meal. My first visit to Palm & Pine was intriguing, if imperfect. The kitchen’s promise was evident in dishes like plump and flavorful drunk shrimp in mezcal chile butter and a crudo of yellowfin tuna with pineapple Big Shot nuoc cham and crunchy shrimp chips. The menu’s two desserts also shone. Chocolate flan over banana puree was complemented beautifully by caramelized bananas and crunchy sesame bark, and Steen’s cane syrup pie was topped with a scoop of preserved lemon ice cream. Some dishes were overwhelmed by their ingredients, however, such as chanterelles served with figs, jalapeno, crunchy corn and an assertive amarillo mole. On that visit, service was haphazard.

Another Palm & Pine dinner was phenomenal, including attentive and professional service. Even dishes with wild blends of flavors and textures hit all the right notes. Braised clams swam with avocado and fried chicken skins in a delectable aji Amarillo broth that we sopped up with grilled French bread. A dish of tender butter beans and lima bean cavatelli with dried tomatoes is the best pasta or bean dish I’ve had in recent memory. An outstanding spicy Jamaican-style goat curry combined meltingly tender meat and crunchy fideo noodles. Entrees were equally remarkable. A paneed pork chop coated in Bellegarde Bakery breadcrumbs was perfectly accompanied by a summery green tomato chow chow. Luscious slices of cocoa- and chilecrusted duck breast shared a plate with a deeply flavored Oaxacan mole, braised duck tamale and sweet plantains.

But Dat Dog now is bulking up its health-conscious options to woo diners with dietary preferences such as ketogenic, paleo, low sodium or diets avoiding refined carbohydrates. “Lifestyle-focused menus are becoming more and more important, especially with our core demographic, the millennial generation,” Dat Dog CEO Paul Tuennerman says. Dat Dog partnered with Eat Fit NOLA, a nutritional initiative that works with restaurants and foodser-

vice providers to develop healthy menu options that meet criteria involving fat, sugar, sodium and protein content. All the Eat Fit options at Dat Dog traded the signature griddled white bun for a lettuce wrap, a treatment known as “greenie weenie” style. No pork or beef dogs make the cut, which has strict guidelines around animal and transfats. The lone meat option is the “Green and Grilled” special, a grilled chicken breast with coleslaw, Dat sauce, cheddar cheese and onions, wrapped in romaine. The other three involve plant-based sausages, such as the Veggie Supreme, which tops a vegan bratwurst with dill pickles, onion and tomato. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) recognized Dat Dog’s vegan spicy chipotle dog as one of the country’s 10 best All-American Vegan Hot Dogs of 2019. Dat Dog will test a new option at the upcoming Voodoo Music + Arts Experience. The restaurant is working with Eat Fit to wrap its products in a whole wheat tortilla. If it works, that option may appear on the regular restaurant menu. Eat Fit menu options are available at all five Dat Dog locations. — REBECCA FRIEDMAN

Owner, Poof Cotton Candy FOR YEARS, NEW ORLEANS’ MOST FAMILIAR COTTON CANDY offer-

How did you come up with the idea to make specialty cotton candy? O’LEARY: I was working a couple of jobs: bartending, shadowing a personal trainer. My family has been in food production for a while, so it’s in the blood. I started brainstorming with my mom and said, “I need a food product. It can’t be perishable. I don’t want to have to buy a fridge or a freezer.” She laughed at me and said, “Honey, you’re left with sugar.” It dawned on me: cotton candy. Then it morphed into gourmet cotton candy and making our own flavors and sprinkles. We came up with Poof as the name because it was an idea out of thin air. It also works perfectly that cotton candy is poofy. I drew up a logo that night and printed out some crappy little flyers. I stalked bridal stores on Magazine Street and Metairie Road and got a retainer the next day. I didn’t have a machine or sugar. I had never made cotton candy or worked in concessions. I just had an idea. I took that retainer and bought my first cotton candy machine.

What types of flavors do you offer? O: Our flavors are pretty set; the market has spoken. We used to do a lot of crazy flavors, plays on snowballs, but after the first yearand-a-half, we got rid of the flavors that weren’t selling. We run with our main eight flavors and do a seasonal flavor as well.

In 2016, local entrepreneur Jeanne O’Leary created Poof Cotton Candy (504-417-8198; www.poofcottoncandy.com), a line of spun sugar in a range of flavors and toppings. In May, her company won the 2019 JEDCO Start Up Challenge, a startup pitch competition sponsored by the Jefferson Parish Economic Development Commission.

SUNDAY BRUNCH!

P H OTO C O U R T E S Y J E A N N E O ’ L E A R Y

Our top three flavors are Unicorn, which is white cake cotton candy with edible glitters and Fruity Pebbles. Then king cake flavor, which we offer year-round. It’s purple king cake cotton candy with mini marshmallows that act as icing, Mardi Gras sprinkles and a dusting of cinnamon. Third is cookies and cream. We do cool flavors for Meril — they use my mixed sugar for their celebratory cotton candy — like root beer, strawberry lemonade and citrus punch. Our most unique flavor is the Chicago mix: caramel cotton candy with crushed Cheetos. I have a black and gold Saints flavor for special order: pina colada with black sprinkles. There’s peppermint crunch around Christmas: peppermint cotton candy with crushed chocolate-covered pretzels and crushed peppermints. And we do pumpkin spice.

How perishable is cotton candy? O: With heat and humidity, packaged cotton candy for retail (wholesaling and putting tubs of cotton candy on store shelves) is totally seasonal. We are about to launch and get back on shelves, hopefully by Oct. 1, then the season ends right around Easter. Tubs run between $4 and $6, and bags, which are about half the quantity of tubs, are $2.50 each. We will put a full list of store locations on our website and social media platforms. All our sprinkled stuff is packaged. Only the straightforward flavors get spun on a cone because sprinkles will ruin the machine. For catering, we bring the machine on our cute little cart and whip up cotton candy for everyone to watch. — REBECCA FRIEDMAN

PREVIEW Pharmakon BY RAPHAEL HELFAND RAISED IN THE UNDERBELLY OF NEW YORK’S EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC SCENE, Margot Chardiet (Pharmakon) came of age at 19 in 2009 with her self-titled debut EP. Since then, she’s become a distinguished voice in harsh noise. She signed with Sacred Bones Records, a tastemaker of all things weird, and has released four excellent fulllength albums with the label in the past six years. On “Bestial Burden,” her sophomore LP, she explored her relationship with her body as an autonomous vessel after undergoing emergency surgery. She released her latest album, “Devour,” at the end of August, and it dives deeper into themes of corporeal self-sabotage, this time through the lens of autocannibalism. Chardiet’s music is abrasive but precise. It is concerned with capturing distinct horrors rather than generating fear for its own sake. Her intense, visceral solo show has gathered devoted fans in New York and beyond and earned her a spot opening for Swans in Europe in 2014. Touring behind her most terrifying project yet, she is as fearsome as ever. Mutant, Special Interest and Angel Inertia open at 10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20, at Santos Bar, 1135 Decatur St., (504) 605-3533; www.santosbar.com. Tickets $10.

REVIEW ‘No Dead Artists’ BY D. ERIC BOOKHARDT PSYCHOLOGISTS LONG HAVE SUGGESTED that dreams are a way our subconscious minds reorder everyday events into more symbolic narratives. Some artists and poets use dream imagery to suggest heightened awareness. Even so, it may seem surprising that so many dreamy images appear in Jonathan Ferrara Gallery’s 23rd annual “No Dead Artists” expo of work by emerging artists in an age when alarming political P H OTO C O U R T E S Y J O N AT H A N events are supposed to usher in protest art. Is this just F ERR A R A G A L L ER Y a subjective reaction to political figures who appear to live in a dream world untethered to any verifiable reality? Many of these dreamy views are infused with biting or ironic social content reflecting a range of contemporary issues. Chris Barnard’s painting “Acquitted” (pictured) suggests a futuristic prison with shadowy figures treading exposed gangways. Look again, and it’s a night view of New York’s Museum of Modern Art, where four of the figures are a rendering of the Los Angeles police officers acquitted of assault in the beating of Rodney King. In the foreground is “144 Lead Square,” a minimalist work by sculptor Carl Andre, who in 1988 was acquitted of murder after allegedly pushing his wife out of a window in a high-rise building. “Facade X” by German artist Susanna Storch is a night view through the glass walls of a high-tech laundry where anonymous people face whirring washing machines — except for a couple making out on a shiny steel bench, infusing the sleek mechanistic scene with a furtive hormonal aura. More minimal facades appear in Maggie Evans’ eerily empty modernist spaces, but Felicia Forte embraces dreamlike messiness in “Night Cereal,” a view of a wall with a glowing TV screen framed by tchotchkes like an animal mask and oversized ax in a cluttered domestic setting. Although there are many figurative works in the show, it is these oddly somnambulistic scenes that capture the disembodied tone of a time when so much human interaction is filtered through the small screens of digital devices equipped with apps for all occasions. Through Sept. 28. Jonathan Ferrara Gallery, 400A Julia St., (504) 522-5471; www.jonathanferraragallery.com.
