The Drums ‘ T HE DRUM S’

(DOWNTOWN) AVAILABLE ON ITUNES NOW, ON CD IN SEPTEMBER

Wielding the glimmering, dual blade of synth pop frivolity/introspection and tothe-beach effervescence of Surfer Blood, The Drums have crafted a sonic gem that is equally suited for hip orbits or head nods. Leading off with “Best Friend,” a track so infectious it may as well be titled “Mainstream Crossover Hit,” the band issues its mission statement: catchy, retro-leaning sounds with singalong choruses and lyrics that kneel at the altar of Morrissey. A perfectly decent record could exist with only that flawless pop nugget attached, so it is a minor miracle that as “The Drums” unfurls, track after track start throwing elbows, jockeying for ‘best song’ position. Is it the jubilance of “Let’s Go Surfing” or the heart-on-thesleeves balladry of “Down By The Water?” Expect the battle to rage indefinitely. I am normally a staunch proponent of physical copies, but this album will be your summer soundtrack. Download it now, and marvel at how anything feels possible while it is ringing in your ears.

Lymphona benefit show

For more than three years, Emily Hepker has bravely battled non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Recently, she was also diagnosed with leukemia. Scott Martin, lead singer of local metal band Silent Lapse, is a good friend of Hepker’s. Thanks to Martin, The Loft is hosting a special benefit concert for Hepker and her family on Friday, July 9, featuring Silent Lapse, Know Lyfe, Foul Mustache and Hollow Drive. Martin met Hepker at a show in Adrian two years ago. “It was a really gloomy show, and we had hardly anyone there,” he says. “But thankfully, one of those people was Emily. There she was, standing up front, smiling and cheering like we were New Kids on the Block. I’ll never forget that. Only a few days later did I learn that she was so sick… “I think another great Emily story is that when she got meet-and-greet passes for the 3 Doors Down/Jet show at Common Ground [last year], Jet’s tour manager was so fascinated by her that he asked her to stick around and chat.” Those who can’t make the show can donate at www.silentlapse.com/shows. “What’s awesome is being able to take this music that we all really care about and use it to help people who we really care about,” Martin says. “Taking action is one of the themes of the album, and that’s exactly what we love to do, especially when we can do it for a good cause.” • Fundraiser for Emily Hepker, featuring Silent Lapse, Know Lyfe, Foul Mustache, Hollow Drive • 8 p.m. Friday, July 9 • The Loft (above Harem Urban Lounge), 414 E.

Lansing’s newest art gallery — Art Alley — opens July 9 in REO Town. Photographer Lewis Smith headlines a collection of works by area artists and a string quartet will perform. Smith, a retired UPS worker, works locally as both a portrait and fine art photographer. Art Alley is owned and operated by the Center for New Enterprise Opportunity (NEO Center). NEO Center president Tom Stewart said Art Alley is just the beginning of his goals for bringing creative space to REO Town. “In the long run, we hope to open another facility that’s kind of an art co-op, where the people will work together in a business incubator sense,” Stewart said. “Somebody may be working on a painting, next to somebody working on graphic design, or photography.” Until the co-op is up and running, Stewart said Art Alley will house exhibits of local artists’ work. Stewart was inspired by touring another Michigan venue that combined an artists’ co-op space with a gallery and retail space. “It’s a place to start,” Stewart said. “I think philosophically and historically art has always been at the core of urban revitalization.” • Art Alley gallery opening • 1133 S. Washington Ave., Lansing • Opening reception is 4-7 p.m., Friday, July 9 • $5 suggested donation. Refreshments will be served; there will be a cash bar.

hands full with talk of the incorporation of instant replay into the sport. By my count, prior to the final three matches, there have been at least ten questionable (if not overtly incorrect) calls by FIFA officials in-game — several of which have directly affected the eventual outcome. I’m not a proponent for instant replay in World Cup soccer: I think the “human element” that FIFA speaks of is worth preserving. However, would it be so difficult to involve more of said humans? Scratch this ludicrous four-man crew idea and slap some fellers behind each net. That way, the head ref always has a 2nd opinion about goal-line play. This is not a new idea, but definitely one that must be considered before we have another Cup. Andi Osters, 27, is a Michigan State graduate.

New bites at Claddagh

Irish pub launches fresh new menu

CLADDAGH IRISH PUB

THE FOOD

The menu is separated into appetizers, entrees and burgers and sandwiches.

Claddagh has kept favorites (ﬁsh & chips), updated others (corned beef & cabbage stack) and added new items (chicken curry & fries). After much debate between the Monte Cristo and the paddy mac, Kris went with the latter — hot corned beef and coleslaw on toasted marble rye with Swiss cheese — on the waitress’ recommendation. The marble rye was substituted with sourdough bread. I ordered the chicken spinach melt — char-grilled chicken breast with spinach and artichoke dip on toasted sourdough bread. Both sandwiches were $8.99. The corned beef was stacked high on the paddy mac. The coleslaw was juicy and the two paired well together. While the side of mashed potatoes that came with it were ﬂuffy, Kris not-

ed it was a bit dry. The spinach and artichoke dip makes the sandwich pretty messy to eat. The chicken piece was thick, the dip creamy. It’s an interesting take on a sandwich I’ve never had before, but the combination is a successful one. The side of fries were warm and seasoned well. I wanted more.

THE DRINKS

Kris had a Diet Coke for $2.40.

THE DAMAGE

$21.60 (including tax, but not tip)

NEXT TIME

I’ll likely make another visit during lunch, where the “light lunch” offers sandwiches like cornucopia sliders and open-faced crab sandwich (both $6.99).

As Claddagh Irish Pub, with locations across the Midwest and more, celebrates its 10th anniversary (the ﬁrst pub opened in Indianapolis in 2000), two executive chefs have helped unveil a new menu. With one American and one Irish chef, they have created a fusion menu to go with their theme of “Fresh. Simple. Tasteful.” Kris and I went to the Eastwood Towne Center location to check out the dinner menu.

‘The Eyes of Willie McGee’ BY A L E X HE A R D (HARPER)

The 50th anniversary of the publication of “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee is officially upon us Sunday, and in honor of that, I’d like to recommend a powerful nonfiction book that parallels the famous court case of the classic novel. Reading the two books alongside one another paints a clearer picture of a muddled time in American history. After being convicted of raping a white woman, Willie McGee was executed in 1951 (a penalty only applied to black men convicted of rape). His insistence that he was innocent and that the sex was consensual led to multiple trials and applications to the Supreme Court, with “Free Willie McGee” becoming a rallying cry among Civil Rights supporters and people of note. Internationally, the case was trumpeted as a case of American hypocrisy. Author Heard tries to cut through years of records and reportage to find the truth of not just the case, but the cultural climate surrounding it, presenting an account that should be required reading.

Glamour girl needs to take a break from the persona-creation machine Glenn Gamboa| Newsday

Dear Lady Gaga: We’re worried about you. No, not because of your recent ﬁnger-ﬂipping faceoff with Mets fans or your alleged banning from the Yankees’ clubhouse. Not because Camille Paglia is slagging you off as “high concept fabrication without an ounce of genuine eroticism.” And not because Jerry Seinfeld called you a jerk. We know you’re too smart to let your career go off the rails. Heck, your “Monster Ball Tour” is so popular that it’s already booked into next April. But we can see a few glitches in the normally well-oiled Gaga Persona-Creation Machine. And we thought we’d offer a few suggestions of things you should stop doing before they get out of hand.

3. Stop trying to top yourself video-wise. Look, casual music fans (and much of the mainstream press) don’t understand the music business. They’ve jumped down your throat for your “Alejandro” video not being as good as your “Telephone” video because they don’t understand that single releases tend to dip slightly from the same album. Of course it’s not as good, or it would’ve come out ﬁrst. Though it’s not clear how many more singles you’re releasing from “The Fame Monster,” maybe you could do a live video for “Dance in the Dark” and no video (!) for “So Happy I Could Die.” 4. Stop saying your next album is done. It may actually be done, but we all know there will be some tweaking before it comes out. Let’s keep some mystery alive. Also, you might not want to say it will be “more bitter” and then roll out the super-sweet rock love song “You and I.” 5. Stop beeﬁng with the paparazzi. They helped make you a star, not to mention giving you inspiration for a big hit single.

offering has little in common with Guinness except for color. Is it any surprise that I took a growler of Scottish Stout home? It was also pleasant to visit a tavern this ambitious and selective in its beer offerings. Most places that offer a large beer selection seem to have a “carry everything” approach that essentially means, “everything from the Bud and Miller distributors.” Bottom line: Belhaven puts its unique stamp on yet another traditional English beer style to grand effect.

Chiefly known for his myriad entries in the lesbian vampire subgenre, French auteur Rollin has crafted bizarre, erotic horror films for decades. With a paper-thin plot that gives the vaguest nod to the Countess Bathory legend, “Fascination” really showcases a Rollin film’s two best features: dreamlike imagery and Brigitte Lahaie. Two young, beautiful aristocrats (in various states of undress) by turns tease then torment a thief hiding out at their estate, meaning to keep him until midnight when a blood ceremony is to take place. From this lurid premise, Rollin concocts a waking dream of a film, so disjointed and oddly paced that you feel like you’ve ingested too much cough medicine. Then there is Brigitte. A striking beauty with an icy film presence, when she finally wields her scythe, the image is so affecting you feel like a horror icon is born. Rollin films are not for everyone, but for the adventurous and patient, “Fascination” is an ... er ... fascinating entry point.

I have long promoted the pleasures of the esteemed lineup of Belhaven Scottish ales, especially when compared to the overly sweet McEwan’s Scotch Ale that is inexplicably more common. I found myself a couple of weeks ago revisiting an exemplary Wisconsin pub, and initially being stumped by the huge selection of new beers at the tavern. But a tap handle proudly proclaiming Belhaven piqued my interest, especially when I found out it was new — Scottish Stout. The ale strongly reminded me of Belhaven’s Twisted Thistle and Wee Heavy — not in taste, but in concept. These ales take what is a traditional English style of beer (India Pale Ale in the case of Twisted Thistle, strong ale for Wee Heavy) and make them uniquely Scottish through the use of special yeast, local grain and brewing techniques. Belhaven is truly committed to showcasing its national beer identity instead of just copying styles. Belhaven Scottish Stout is similar in taste to its Wee Heavy — lots of that unique chewy, toffeeish malty goodness. Where it differs is by having more of a roasted chocolate and nutty flavor, and a subdued amount of the slightly bitter, coffee-like flavor that is a trademark of many stouts. In the background is a cream flavor that coats the mouth with a silky caress without being sticky or cloying, and it does not have the bitter end bite that is present in Guinness stout. In fact, this Belhaven

These locations host beach volleyball tournaments and leagues, and you’re bound to find the style that fits you, from 2-on-2 to 6-on-6, co-ed or single sex, weekly leagues or drop-in open nights.

Teams play beach volleyball outside City Limits bowling alley and sports bar in Mason. The league offers competitive and recreational co-ed leagues ﬁve nights a week.

Drew Fisher and his teammates sported new team shirts for their game last week — neon yellow with “Great Balls of Fire” scrawled across the front. “It’s a hoot,” said the 27-year-old Mason resident. “Growing up you always see them play, and (I) just wanted something to do, so I took up a night. It’s something fun to look forward to during the week.” Fisher is in his second season in the City Limits beach volleyball league. His team plays weekly on the pristine sand courts next to City Limits’ bowling alley and sports bar. It’s a bustling, league, with 10

teams a night playing ﬁve nights a week. Tuesday night is the competitive league, the other four weeknights host teams from the recreational league. And players don’t worry about breaking out an itsy bitsy bikini (unless they really want to) for this beach volleyball. The uniforms are goofy team T-shirts and everything from cargo shorts to pajama pants on the bottom half. Sarah West, 32 of Dansville, started playing six years ago for a team sponsored by her employer. Since then, she’s formed her own team with a mix of players she knew from high school. They play together in indoor leagues

during the winter, too. “Volleyball is my favorite sport, (the best part) is just being outside,” West said. “During the winter it’s good exercise, too.” City Limits serves up courtside beverages, but the players, who range in age from mid-twenties to late thirties, have graduated beyond Gatorade. The Sand Bar sells pitchers of beer and serves it in plastic cups. Most of the teams share a pitcher of beer before their volleyball matches. Experienced teams know to ﬁnish the ﬁrst pitcher before hitting the sand so the beer doesn’t get warm while they play.

The Riv’s fame claim is rooted in Thursday deal “There’s something intrinsically wrong about being this buzzed at 5 p.m. on a Thursday.” If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times, but that’s what happens when pitchers of beer are $3 and burgers are a $1.50. Burgerama has been a long-standing tradition at The Riv, creating lines at both the front and back doors, to get in during the school year and marking the 3 p.m. kick-off of College Night every Thursday. Prices go up around 9 p.m., but that never seems to stop the crowds from ﬂocking through the doors. During the summer, ’rama is a great way to “tailgate” before taking CATA’s No. 1 bus to Lansing for a Lugnuts game. But The Riv is more than just cheap burgers and beer. It has a fully stocked bar with drink specials all week long, a newly refreshed menu that offers soups, salads and wraps plus the normal bar fare. There are two dart boards and three pool tables that are normally occupied with rousing games that draw attention from other patrons when the groans or cheers break decibel levels.

On nights when a DJ or a band isn’t playing, the jukebox, one of the best non-Internet connected ones in town, pumps out metal, hair and classic rock tunes, as well as some punk and alternative favorites. Stick around long enough (like a couple of hours) and you’re bound to hear the bar’s patrons singing at the top of their lungs to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing.” TVs in virtually every corner of the bar make watching sporting events an easy task. I’ve never witnessed rowdy overserved patrons at The Riv. I’ve been hanging in East Lansing bars for the better part of 16 years, and I can’t recall a single ﬁght in the place. Maybe that’s because of Jack

Riviera. Jack may or may not be a ﬁctional character, but either way, The Riv is his namesake. So the legend goes: Jack was a drifter from France who, by way of Chicago, opened the ﬁrst Riviera Cafe back in the ’20s as a speakeasy. After being arrested, he was dropped in Lansing and opened The Riviera Cafe. As the full story on the poster inside says: “The Riv still employs those unwanted, lacking, miserable, good for nothing sots who are at the end of their rope and the bottom of the scum barrel. We pledge to make Jack proud by continuing his legacy of catering to the less fortunate, sad, destitute, futureless rabble that crawls through our front door.” Or the back.

Even though I’ve sung other songs with them, I never got to sing my favorite song, “Sweet Home Alabama,” until now. I’ve gone onstage the past few nights and have done that song with them, and the crowd has been going crazy, and we’re having fun doing it.”

Michaels talked with NOISE a few weeks after his “Apprentice” win to talk health, the ﬁst-pumping new album, his work with the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and why his new reality show is nothing like the past.

THURSDAY

JULY

Capital Region International Airport stage with Cinderella

NOISE: How do you think surviving the brain hemorrhage changed you? Michaels: Well, I can say this: There’s a song I reference a lot, and it’s by Tim McGraw and was actually written by my friend Craig Wiseman, and it’s called, “Live Life Like You Were Dying.” It’s funny, because I liked the song long before I got sick, and it oddly enough played into my life. Before I had the hemorrhage, I always felt like I lived life to the fullest, but I think getting sick put life into perspective. You find the things that are extremely important to you ... Every day is a really good day. Even the painful ones. And I’m really learning to enjoy life. NOISE: Congrats on winning “Celebrity Apprentice.” Michaels: Thank you very much. I went there to win and also not to throw anybody under the bus. I literally did what I’ve always done in my career: have fun and get it done. NOISE: You raised $390,000 for the American Diabetes Association (ADA) through “Apprentice.”

Michaels: You know, I’ve been doing this work since I was 6 years old, working with the ADA and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). I was one of first people that pushed for young people to get into camps. My mom sponsored a camp in Pennsylvania where I learned how to deal with it, and I learned how to not be depressed. To this day, I still do four injections of insulin. Half the battle is learning to cope with the fact you have it ... It’s important to me because it affects me personally, and it’s taken the lives of some of my great friends. It’s the third leading cause of death in the United States. NOISE: How did “Apprentice” compare to your VH1 reality show, “Rock of Love?” Michaels: Well, two very, very different animals. (Laughs) With, “Rock of Love,” I stumbled into my own, let’s just say, ridiculous debauchery and just had a lot of fun. But it ran on my time ... When you do a show with Donald Trump, you’re running on what I call, “Trump time.” His day starts a little earlier than mine. And so it was very, very tough, but I knew that going in there, so I had prepared myself. NOISE: You have a new VH1 show this fall called, “Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It.” Michaels: Yeah, I’ve been jonesing to do a show like this for a long time, and here’s

why: Since the first “Rock of Love,” people have been asking, “Bret, what do you do on a daily basis?” “Life As I Know It” truly steps into the reality of my everyday existence. It takes my rock life and passion for music, plus my passion for my family and raising my daughters right. It takes those two lives and it’s about how I make them work together. NOISE: Your new album, “Custom Built,” just dropped on July 6,. What should fans expect from this release? Michaels: Well, I think it’s a good variety of who I am. It’s “Custom Built,” and if you listen to anything from Poison to my solo records, I cover a lot of musical terrain in the production. Some of it really rocks and kicks butt. It’s got some old-school Poison; it’s got some contemporary feel. NOISE: You’re a really likeable guy. What makes you so likeable, Bret? Michaels: Let me say this: I just am who I am. Growing up in Pittsburgh, my mom and dad were good people, and I think just being down-to earth, honest and having fun with people has helped. I’m not pretending to be anything I’m not. I think people have something they can relate to after 23 years of seeing me do what I love. I have good friends and have met good people along the way. And hopefully, people have realized I love making music. It’s my passion.

Now on Thursdays JULY 08 – JULY 14

• WHO IS BRET’S CELEBRITY CRUSH?: “I have several crushes,” he laughs. “I would say one of them, without a doubt, is Jennifer Aniston. She’s got that smart, funny, hot girlnext-door look. Now, completely on the other end of the spectrum, I’m going to say Angelina Jolie. This girl knows what she’s doing, has got her game on and she’s very exoticbeautiful. And any of the ‘Golden Girls.’”

The only thing Bret Michaels wanted to do in life was play music. The kind of honest-to-goodness, feel-good rock ‘n’ roll that makes you want to live in the moment, and forget about the past. He got that — and a lot more. He’s fronted party-happy, hair spray-loving ’80s glam-rock band Poison for 23 years (and counting). He leapt from boisterous rocker to reality TV star with his own VH1 series, the hilarious and untamed, “Rock of Love.” He claimed victory on NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice” this year. And now he’s on tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd, has a shiny new full-length, “Custom Built” (it dropped on July 6) and, yes, a fresh VH1 reality series airing this fall called, “Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It.” Of course, he also prayed his way through a life-threatening brain hemorrhage this year. But, rest assured, he’s not slowing down for it. In fact, on July 15, he headlines Common Ground’s Capital Region International Airport stage.

When Dallas, Texas’ Drowning Pool began toiling away on its fourth album, the recording process was unlike anything it had experienced. For starters, this was the band’s ﬁrst time working with the same singer for two albums in a row. After dealing with the tragic death of vocalist Dave Williams in 2002, former SOiL frontman Ryan McCombs joined the fold, and it clicked. With McCombs onboard, Drowning Pool not only scored a massive rock hit, “37 Stitches,” but also booked Crüe Fest 2 in 2009. That time was a turning point for the band, which hits Common Ground’s Capital Region International Airport stage on Monday. A good one. “It was the ﬁrst time in our career we were able to capitalize on our success and momentum,” says bass player Stevie Benton, chatting

writing process for “Feel Like I Do” was well thought-out: “We wanted to do a song that had a lot of crowd participation, so we built that song from that idea and concept. To play it every night and see other people’s reactions to it is an awesome feeling.” The band pushed itself on the rest of the album, too, from the melodic “Over My Head” to the scorching metal of new single, “Turn So Cold.” That’s another way of saying Drowning Pool stepped out of its comfort zone. • FOR THE TROOPS: “We tried to stretch our abiliDrowning Pool ties and ﬁnd ways of doing things regularly plays we had never been able to do beUSO shows for the troops in Iraq and fore,” Benton says.

It’s the band’s fourth time there. “It’s special for me because the ﬁrst rock tour I was really aware of was that big Ozzy, Mötley Crüe tour, and that tour is like rock music folklore,” Benton says. “So, it’s a dream come true to be there and relive part of that.” Even with success at their collective feet, the guys stay humble. “We’ve had ups and downs through our career, so it’s nice to enjoy the upside right now. It’s hard to establish a career in the music business, so to be where we’re at 10 years later and to be at a high point feels really great,” Benton says. “It feels like sticking together was the right thing to do.”

• PRE-SHOW RITUALS: “We all get together an hour before the show and share the same dressing room, so it’s very communal,” guitarist Keith Nelson says. “A lot of bands get to a certain point and all have different rooms, but we all get together and get our game face on and get ready to go out there and do what we love.”

‘Organic’ B rock evolution

Buckcherry guitarist and songwriter Keith Nelson makes it clear the band’s latest album, “All Night Long” (out Aug. 3), is nothing of studio magic — it’s Buckcherry, plain and simple. “We went to great lengths to make sure this was a very non-digital record,” he says on the way to a tour stop in Green River, Wyo. “It’s very analog; very organic. Whatever you hear, it’s a real guitar, a real guitar amp, and there’s no digital processing on the record.” The way Nelson sees it, the album — and, really, Buckcherry’s overall philosophy — is just the product of a natural evolution, one that comes from playing nonstop shows and living to deliver pure, bad-to-the-bones rock ’n’ roll.

Adam Lambert recalls a time when the world was blissfully unaware of his hair. He could trim it, shape it, perm it or color it without drawing comment. Not any more, of course; when he had a buzz-cut swath on one side — “it’s air-conditioning,” he insists — there was instant attention. “I didn’t know that was newsworthy,” Lambert said. Let’s make one thing clear: EVERYTHING about Adam Lambert is now newsworthy. “American Idol” has had plenty of young stars — likable and moldable. It hasn’t had anyone else who combines the originality, control and multi-octave voice of Lambert. “He’s very conﬁdent — and, of course, very talented,” Allison Iraheta said. She ﬁnished fourth in the 2009 “Idol” season, when Lambert was second; she did the “Idol” tour with him and now opens for him. Iraheta describes him as “the big brother” who advises her on showmanship — then dazzles crowds with a hightech, one-hour show. At Common Ground, that may be semi-dazzling. This is one of the tour’s few outdoor shows, which means he won’t be doing the full lights and effects. “We’re not going to do the whole show .... We’ll do as much as we can,” Lambert said. Still, there are advantages to being outdoors in Michigan, where the daylight lingers. “I’ll get to see everyone in the audience,” Lambert said.

He’s worked with audiences for many of his 28 years. He was 10 when his parents took him to learn and perform at a San Diego theater; he was 18 when he moved to Los Angeles on his own. His parents were encouraging. “My dad said something like, ‘I’m not going to bail you out.’ That’s good parenting; you can’t always have someone hold your hand.” • ON STAGE Lambert did well PRESENCE: in Los Angeles, Lambert moved understudying the to Los Angeles young male lead in on his own at “Wicked.” He also met age 18, then people who would shape became the clothes, hair and understudy for make-up he used on the young male “Idol” and now on tour. lead in He savored the com“Wicked.” munal vibe. One example is Art Tribe, a L.A. group that appears in one of his videos. “They woke me up to the possibilities of creativity. It’s almost a Utopian society.” Lambert used a similar phrase when describing the mood at his concerts. “It’s positive and love and almost a Utopian thing.” There are times when the world seems far from ideal. There have been harsh comments, before and after Lambert acknowledged he’s gay. “I know there is still a lot of homophobia out there,” he said. Still, he sees mostly joy at showtime. Lambert brings a band, four dancers and an upbeat rhythm. “The best pop music is music that’s catchy .... It should make you feel like dancing and dressing up.”

Former Michael Jackson guitarist urges young people to ‘Believe’ TUESDAY

Capital Region International Airport stage with Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta

Swapping licks with Carlos Santana and sharing the stage, all too briefly, with Michael Jackson doesn’t seem to be enough for 25-year-old guitarist Orianthi, who is touring the states all summer, promoting her debut Geffen release, “Believe.” The Australian-born, blondehaired shredder is now moving from guitar goddess to pop starlet, with a Billboard 100 single and shows all summer with Adam Lambert, including Tuesday at Common Ground’s Capital Region International Airport stage. Popular music has plenty of guitar guys, but unfortunately, few female players. Early on, Orianthi was the only girl at auditions, and it wasn’t easy. “It was definitely a challenge,” says Orianthi, who first picked up her dad’s acoustic at age 6. “Ultimately, the guys would kind of pick on me for playing guitar and say I shouldn’t play it.” Instead of letting it get her down, Orianthi used the adversity to make her stronger. At 14, she sent her guitar demo to her musical idol, Carlos Santana. “Santana is the reason I picked up the electric guitar,” she explains. “I was studying classical guitar and went to one of his shows, and I was like, ‘I want to play electric and be just like Carlos.’ “I sent my first demo to Santana’s management, and I got an email back from Santana’s brother. He told me they loved it and were playing it in the office.” Pretty soon, Orianthi was jamming with Santana in Los Angeles,

backing country girl Carrie Underwood and doing Grammy gigs. Then, last year, the King of Pop came knocking. “I actually got an e-mail through my MySpace page from his musical director, and they had seen me play on the Grammys,” she says. “They were looking for a young female guitar player for his tour. I was super nervous, and I auditioned and played ‘Beat It.’ The whole band auditioning was hired on the spot.” Orianthi says it’s still hard to watch “Michael Jackson’s This Is It” documentary-concert ﬁlm. “It’s so real,” she says. “It’s all real footage of us coming together as a band, but I have amazing memories of working with everybody during that period.” Even with all the attention that comes from being a beautiful blonde in a sea of guy guitarists, she stays grounded. “It can go to people’s heads, but I don’t take anything for granted,” she says. “My parents instilled in me that you work hard, have fun and treat people with respect. I love my band; I love my crew; I love my work. Life’s too short to dwell on things you can’t change or get caught up in anything.” On, “Believe,” Orianthi proves she’s the real thing: Between lightning-fast guitar solos, the album goes from blues to jazz to pop-rock and has a wide scope of sounds.

Allison Iraheta should have this TV-fame thing figured out. It’s her second time. Years before “American Idol” had heard of her, Iraheta competed on the Telemundo cable network. “It was difficult,” she recalled. “I was a (Los Angeles) girl, living in Mexico City for three months.” This wasn’t her native country or her first language. She was 14, with every reason to be overwhelmed. She won; the prize was $50,000, an album and a step toward fame. Except the album never seemed to happen. “Well, I got the money, anyway,” she said. She also got: • TV experience. • A chance to develop her singing style. When she competed in the 2009 “Idol,” Andrew Leahey wrote in allmusic.com, she was “boasting mature, rock-influenced vocals that belied her young age (of) 17.” • And a new look. When the Telemundo contest started, Iraheta said, “I had long, black hair — the typical Latina look.” Producers didn’t want everyone to look the same; she jumped at that. “I said, ‘Cut it, dye it red,’” Iraheta said. “My mom cried, but I loved it.” This was the Iraheta that “Idol” fans would see three years later — a short (5-foot-2) teen with bright-red hair, whose face and voice sometimes suggested Janis Joplin. “I love the way she presented herself onstage,” Iraheta said of Joplin. “Every song

MIKE HUGHES | FOR NOISE

was gut-wrenching; you could feel everything.” Joplin died 22 years before Iraheta was born, but this singer absorbs everything. Her parents (El Salvador natives) like Spanish-language music, especially rancheros, so Iraheta began singing that way. “My sister said, ‘Do you know what you’re singing?’ No, but I’d sing anyway.” She learned both languages. She won on Telemundo, was fourth on “Idol,” got record deals from both. The difference is that the “Idol” album actually happened. While touring, Iraheta recorded tracks in California, Florida, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis and even Sweden. The result, “Just Like You,” is ﬁlled with high-octane songs written by other people. Iraheta, however, was the principal writer on the quietly moving “You Don’t Know Me.” That’s part of one plan for her shows on the current tour. Iraheta slows down for a warm, acoustic version of “You Don’t Know Me” — then roars into “Don’t Waste the Pretty,” with Orianthi on the guitar (as she is on the radio version of the song). Then come sets by Orianthi and Adam Lambert — which means Iraheta gets a big, boisterous audience. “I feed off the crowd’s energy,” she said. “Every night has been great.”

13 Pearle Vision Stage with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

Earlier this year, two colleagues — one an expert on concert tours, one not — met. Conan O’Brien had never toured before; Max Weinberg had toured with the best —Bruce Springsteen. “He said, ‘Now I know two things,’” Weinberg recalled. “‘1) I know why you like (touring) so much; and 2) You’re tired all the time.’” Both are true, Weinberg said. “It’s exhilarating, it’s tiring, I love to do it.” And now he’s in charge. He’ll bring a 15-piece band to Common Ground. This is zestful music, mostly from the 1950s and ’60s, Weinberg said, “the kind you might hear on a TV variety show back then.” It’s big-band jazz, but molded by someone who has spent decades with Springsteen. “It’s a very muscular music …. The kind of East Coast music I’m known for.” That’s what Springsteen was looking for in 1974. After dropping two drummers, he chose Wein-

berg, then 22. This was someone who studied his leader. “Not only is Max a great drummer, Max reads Bruce’s mind,” Steve Van Zandt, a Springsteen guitarist, once said. Here is a drummer with the work ethic of an athlete, the lifestyle of an accountant (nearing his 60th birthday and 30th wedding anniversary) and the mind of a lawyer. “I come from a long line of lawyers,” Weinberg said. “My father … showed me what a lawyer can be, helping people.” He was still headed toward law school —with part-time music gigs — when Springsteen intervened. There were long stretches, however, when Springsteen dissolved the band. Weinberg did studio work, started law school, did odd gigs. Then he bumped into O’Brien on the New York street and told him what he would do if he was the band leader for the new late-night show. His approach: “We’d swing everything,” Weinberg said. “We’d play a rock song, but we’d swing it.” O’Brien and Weinberg did 16 years of late-latenight TV, then faded with the move to the “Tonight” spot. The show closed Jan. 22. Ever since, Weinberg said, he’s had no idea if he’ll be on O’Brien’s new show, starting November on TBS. He has something else to focus on, anyway. “It’s my big, new, swinging band.” It’s let him return to concert tours – exhilarated and exhausted.

Old school revival a good ﬁt for these ‘Daddies’

For a kid who had just moved West, this was a consummate California experience. Glen Marhevka, then 11, was at Disneyland with his parents, catching … well, some old guy. “I had no idea who he was, but I was blown away. (He) was dancing all over the stage.” It was Cab Calloway, then about 75 and once a swing-era star. Marhevka stayed for both Disneyland shows, an experience that’s helps now that he’s the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy trumpeter. “It’s been really cool because we’ve been doing his ‘Minnie the Moocher’ all the time.” Now Daddy has an album of Calloway songs, which will ripple through its Common Ground show. This is specialty music, echoing the past. For a few years, however, Daddy was at the core of pop culture. “Before you

knew it, we were playing the Super Bowl halftime show,” Marhevka said. The Los Angeles band was started in 1990 by singer-songwriter Scotty Morris and drummer Kurt Sodergren. Fresh from college (California State, Northridge), Marhevka was asked to join what was then a six-piece band. He caught a show at the Brown Derby. “It just had this really cool energy to it,” he said. He ﬁt the group musically, if not visually. “I was in my early 20s and probably looked 17,” he said. “One day, I ordered hot dogs and fries; they said, ‘Ah, you’re just a kid.’” So he became “The Kid” — a name that sticks even now that he’s 38 and married, with two kids. He arrived at the perfect time. The 1996 movie “Swingers” had Daddy on camera and performing two songs, “Go Daddy-O” and “You & Me & the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight.” Joining other inﬂuences — the 1993 movie “Swing Kids,” a Gap ad and more — it spurred the swing revival. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy music was featured in more than 60 movies, TV shows and trailers.

In 1999, the group did the Super Bowl, alongside Stevie Wonder, Gloria Estefan and Kiss. “It was almost too much, too fast,” Marhevka said. “When it was really out-of-this-world crazy, it was hard to appreciate.” Then it cooled down. A 2003 album peaked at No. 195 on the Billboard charts. That provides time to explore fun niches. The Calloway album was made in the old Capitol Records studios where Frank Sinatra and friends recorded. Now the music will be performed outdoors at Common Ground. “I always get a good feeling to be at the big festivals,” Marhevka said. “People are happy to be outside.”

Hall is all about Twitter. “This generation is so addicted to social networks,” he says. “Everybody wants to project out what they’re doing, and the Internet is the quickest and most efﬁcient way to reach a broad group of people.” Looking at Hall’s photo, you might think he looks a tad like the late Kurt Cobain of Nirvana. And you wouldn’t be the ﬁrst. “I used to get that all the time,” he laughs. “I would walk out on stage, and somebody would scream, ‘Kurt Cobain!’ But that was when my hair was straight, and now I have dreadlocks, so it doesn’t happen as often. And that makes me happy.”

Jimmy Cliff never seemed to understand how impossible his dreams were. “I couldn’t see anything else,” he said. “It was tunnel vision.” A skinny kid from a Jamaican village, he wanted to be a music star. He even changed his surname from “Chambers” to “Cliff,” to reflect the highest point in his homeland. Then it all came true. It peaked this spring when Cliff — alongside Abba, Genesis and more — was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “The evening’s stand-out performance was Jimmy Cliff, who won over the crowd from the moment he squeezed his eyes shut and rolled out his velvety voice,” Rolling Stone wrote. Now his first American tour in five years, including a Common Ground show, is drawing praise. “He kicked, danced and shimmied across the stage with infectious glee,” the Billboard trade paper said. That’s not what you’d expect from a 62-year-old, but Cliff has defied all reggae patterns. “In school, I loved the arts,” he said. “My parents loved me, but they were pious Christians” and didn’t like the rowdy reggae sound. At 14, his dad took him to Kingston Technical School, where he was supposed to learn how to repair radios and TV sets. His spare time was spent on music; that’s when he talked a local mer-

chant, Leslie Kong, into becoming a record producer. “He had a music store, so I knew he liked music.” Kong may have been the first reggae hit-maker with Chinese roots. Cliff would break other traditions. His song “Many Rivers to Cross” inspired a filmmaker to make the 1969 “The Harder They Come,” with Cliff as a country kid who finds bigcity crime and music. Critic Leonard Maltin called it a “crude but powerful film (that) almost single-handedly launched reggae music’s popularity in America.” Cliff would continue to be a media event. He appeared on-camera in “Club Paradise” and on the soundtrack of other films. His cover of “I Can See Clearly Now” reached No. 19 on the Billboard charts, after being heard in “Cool Runnings.” His music was in “Cocktail,” “Hitch,” “Something’s Gotta Give,” “Mission Impossible III” and more. Still, he’s never stuck to an easybreezy sound. “I’ve always wanted to push the envelope,” he said. His songs ranged from the somber “Vietnam” — which Bob Dylan called “the best protest song every written” — and “Trapped” to the upbeat “You Can Get It If You Really Want.” Mostly, Cliff has proven that last one; he gets what he really wants. This year, he wanted to return to American audiences. “They are a little more open (than Europeans),” he said. “They get excited.”

But it wasn’t until he saw Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder onstage that he felt called to be a rock singer: “When I saw Eddie singing, I was floored,” he says. “My whole world changed.” The St. Louis rock band hit No. 1 on rock radio last year with heavy hit, “Champagne,” off its current fulllength, “Bright Nights, Dark Days,” and it spent much of last year on tour with Daughtry. • CIVIL TWILIGHT: From South Africa, Civil Twilight brings an onslaught of influences into their style: grunge, early ‘90s rock, British rock, Brit-pop. “I used to listen to this national rock station when I was growing up,” says lead singer and songwriter Steven McKellar, “and I’d be lying in bed, listening to Oasis, The Verve, The Pixies and Nirvana.” The power trio’s self-titled debut came out in 2009. • NEON TREES: On its March release, “Habits,” Provo, Utah-based dance-punk band Neon Trees embraces shiny synths, big choruses and catchy pop hooks, sounding a bit like The Killers or The Strokes. The album’s first single, “Animal,” reached No. 5 on the alternative chart. • CINDERELLA: A quarter century has passed since Jon Bon Jovi discovered Cinderella and signed the Philly hair-metal act to his label, Mercury Records. It was a good move, as Cinderella’s breakthrough record, 1986’s “Night Songs,” went triple platinum thanks to such hits as “Nobody’s Fool,” “Somebody Save Me” and “Shake Me.” With the original line-up, Cinderella will open for Bret Michaels. Tom Keifer of Cinderella sings at Common Ground in 2006.

The band’s video for “All the Same” racked up more than 56 million views on YouTube and started a hugging frenzy with the video’s concept of giving “free hugs” to random passers-by. • HOOBASTANK: Post-grunge, alt-rock band Hoobastank hit the big time with 2001’s “Crawling In the Dark,” which reached No. 2 on the modern rock chart. Bigger hits “The Reason” and “Running Away” followed, and the Agoura Hills, Calif. guys found themselves playing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and touring with the All-American Rejects and Creed. • ALICE COOPER: Extreme heavy metal guy-turned-radio personality Alice Cooper played Common Ground in 2004. He’s back with anthems such as “School’s Out,” “Billion Dollar Babies,” “Elected,” “Under My Wheels” and “No More Mr. Nice Guy.” Regarding the set list, Coop says this: “It’s 28 songs. That’s a lot of songs, especially when they’re all choreographed. ... I get e-mails, and if I start seeing a trend, I’ll say, ‘You know what? Maybe we should put that song in.’ So I allow it to morph.” • TESLA: Multi-platinum-selling California rock band Tesla is known for its hard rock take on contemporary blues and ’70s-style popular music. Nearly 25 years after their inception, the band still plays to sold-out crowds of die-hard fans, bringing singles such as “Mama’s Fool,” “Signs” (remake), “What You Give” and “Love Song.” No stranger to Common Ground, Tesla played the festival both in 2002 and 2006.
