Sin Theorem, Genocya play metal show

Lansing-based Sin Theorem is the real deal, with songs that blast out machine-gun riffing metal rhythms. The story of Sin Theorem starts with drummer Ronnie Lee Graham, who spent 10 years on the West Coast playing in several projects before coming to Michigan and forming the band. He searched around until he found the perfect players: Chad Miller (vocals), Alex Diesel (guitar), Tony “Bonecrusher” Massey (guitar/vocals) and Pete Meyers (bass). Things took off, and the metal band signed with national manager Chris Johnson (Down, Lamb of God). It also cracked the top 30 on Reverbnation.com’s U.S. Metal Chart (and scored 500,000+ hits to boot). And they scored gigs with Testament, Powerman 5000, Kittie and In This Moment. Catch the group Saturday at Blackened Moon Concert Hall along with area metal faves Genocya, Seraphim Burial, Ashes of Hope, Dozic and Serpent Crown. • Sin Theorem, Genocya, Seraphim Burial, Ashes of Hope, Dozic, Serpent Crown • 4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 22 • Blackened Moon Concert Hall, 3208 S.

SEE IT LIVE

“When their first album came out, I liked the songs I heard on the radio but wasn’t a big fan or anything at the time. A friend of mine got tickets to their concert in Grand Rapids, so I went with him, and they put on such a great show, I was really impressed. After hearing their music live, I had more appreciation for their music, and I’ve been a fan ever since.” — Kevin Vandenboss, Lansing

“ ‘Hybrid Theory’ is my favorite Linkin Park album. I like that they’re not hardcore metal, but they’re not pop, either. I also like that the lyrics actually have meaning and tell a story.” — Heather Wiedenhoeft, Grand Ledge

DISCOGRAPHY ALBUMS

Anne Erickson | NOISE

There’s a good chance you’ve heard “Waiting For the End” — the now-omnipresent, No.1 rock hit from California alternative metal outfit Linkin Park — more than a few times on the radio. And if you’ve listened closely to the song’s lyrics, you’ve probably also figured out the track is deeper than the standard radio hit. “Waiting for the end to come/ Wishing I had strength to stand, This is not what I had planned / It’s out of my control” Dark. Apocalyptic. Eerily enchanting. This is the new Linkin Park. “I don’t know exactly why and there wasn’t a specific event that was the catalyst for all of it,” said vocalist, songwriter and rhythm guitarist Mike Shinoda, referring to the song’s genesis. “... These ideas of self-annihilation and fear were popping out and surprising us.” That’s extreme. But when Shinoda and fellow vocalist and songwriter Chester Bennington brought the lyrics back to the band, the group understood the potential of the progressive message. “It turned out that all six of the guys felt like there was definitely a universal fear that I think a lot of people these days have, that humanity as a whole is and has for a long time been on the brink of destroying itself,” Shinoda said. “Whether that be slowly or quickly, it’s just a possibility (that) exists in the world and we’re all, I think, scared of it to

• A Thousand Suns, 2010

some degree. For the six of us, it was an honest fear and an honest emotion, and it was proper for it to be a part of the record.” That paranoid feel became the theme of Linkin Park’s latest album, 2010’s “A Thousand Suns.” “Hopefully, what we do at the end of the day is we make a good song and we have an album like this, ‘A Thousand Suns,’ where the songs really work united with each other,” Bennington said. “I know the die-hard fans of Linkin Park are really openminded to what we do, and sometimes it takes people awhile to digest the new music. But when it sits, especially with this album, I think people really are going to appreciate what we’ve done here and see it for what we intended it to be.”

ON THE ‘ROAD TO REVOLUTION’

When Linkin Park brings its “A Thousand Suns” North American Tour to the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit on Tuesday, expect a super-sized stage show to match the grandiose feel of the album. “The look of the show has a lot to do with the look of ‘A Thousand Suns,’” Shinoda said. “A lot of the themes on the new record take a central role in the visuals of the show. Our art team developed technology that’s specific to this show, and it had a lot to do with the fact that we don’t play the exact same thing every night. “We play different set lists, and within those set lists we improvise, so we wanted a way for the look of the show to kind of ebb and flow with whatever we do with the music.” And while, “A Thousand Suns,” is Linkin Park’s first concept album, the guys promise not to play the album in its entirety on this tour. After all, a band smart enough to stay relevant

for more than a decade knows that fans want to hear tracks that built the Linkin Park legacy.

FROM ‘HYBRID THEORY’ TO ‘SUNS’

Linkin Park’s musical backdrop is anything but generic altrock pifﬂe. The band’s ranks include two singer-emcees (Bennington and Shinoda), a DJ/ sampler (Joe Hahn), a lead guitarist (Brad Delson), a drummer (Rob Bourdon) and a bass player (David “Phoenix” Farrell). That instrumentation, coupled with hip-hop vocals and nu-metal sensibilities, gives Linkin Park an epic and orchestral feel. Success happened quickly for the band, which went from recording and producing songs in Shinoda’s bedroom in the mid’90s to selling more than 10 million copies of its debut album, “Hybrid Theory,” in 2000. Buoyed by No. 1 rock hits “In the End,” “Crawling” and “One Step Closer,” listening to “Hybrid Theory” became a right of passage for anyone growing up in the early 2000s post-grunge, alt-rock era. Billboard named, “Hybrid Theory,” No. 11 on the list of the “Hot 200 Albums of the Decade.” Critics deemed the release “innovative,” “complex” and “landmark.” Next came a remix album (“Reanimation”). Then, 2003’s “Meteora,” chock- full of atmospheric electronica, buzzing guitars, buried scratching, coming-of-age lyrics and all-over angsty modern rock. The album was one big single, with charttoppers “Somewhere I Belong,” “Faint,” “Breaking the Habit” and “Numb.” More fanfare followed, from collaborating with Jay-Z (“Numb Encore”) to movie soundtracks (“Transformers”) to world tours. Today, the band is considered one of the biggest modern rock groups of all time. How has the group stayed so

• Live in Texas, 2003 • Road to Revolution: Live at Milton Keynes, 2008

popular, for so long? “I think everything comes back to the records and the albums that we make,” Shinoda said. “At this point, whenever we hear a demo that one of us brings in that sounds too familiar, it’s kind of boring to us. It turns the band off. And so we just try and keep things fresh and to keep ourselves excited and try and make honest music that we like to listen to.”

‘POINTS OF AUTHORITY’

While the guys of Linkin Park enjoy the never-ending limelight, they also understand that with great power comes great responsibility. They’re the ﬁrst to volunteer to play charity shows and give to non-proﬁts (Live 8, Special Operations Warrior Foundation). And, they spearhead their own organization dedicated to helping the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. “Music for Relief” is dedicated to providing funds to victims of natural disasters and to bringing awareness to global warming. A dollar from every ticket sold on this tour goes directly to “Music for Relief.” And while you can’t tell from the dark picture painted in the new album, the guys are optimistic about the future. “I feel like we’ve done a lot of things right. We’ve had a lot of luck. We’ve made some missteps that, looking back, if we were given the opportunity to do it a different way, we probably would have,” Shinoda said. “Creatively, I feel like the band is really energized. ‘A Thousand Suns’ was really an important record for us, and not only on a creative level, but actually also just as a group of friends. I think that things are really positive, and so we’re looking forward to what the future holds.”

CATHLEEN & STEVEN EDGERLY

‘Zombie Spaceship Wasteland’

BY PAT T O N O S WA LT

| lansingnoise.com

(SCRIBNER)

I was excited to see this new release since it a) is written by one of my favorite comics (the man who introduced me to the Michigan-made miracle that is “Death Bed: The Bed That Eats”) and b) has Zombie in the title. (The zombie part refers to Oswalt’s breakdown of categories overarching common teen experience and the adults that grow out of such podlings: are you a Zombie, Spaceship or a Wasteland?) Yes, it’s strange, heady stuff, just like everything that comes from Oswalt’s overtlyintelligent, poignant, geekmade-good mind. Wandering from comedic memoir-ish reminiscences to tongue-incheek send-ups to full-on geekery (an epic poem to his final Dungeons and Dragon character), this book is perfect for the grown-up-geek in you. Even the blurbs on the back cover feature a Who’s Who of cerebral hilarity, with bumps from Conan O’Brien, Joss Whedon, Sarah Vowell, John Hodgman and Sarah Silverman. Read it and laugh at something other than a fart joke for once. I did.

WHI T NE Y SPOT TS whitneyspotts@gmail.com

Cathleen and Steven Edgerly live in Delta Township with their one-year-old son, Jacob • The space: 3,700 square foot restored home originally built in 1900, owned for 2 years • Can’t beat their: Third floor. They call it the fun room. With surround sound and comfy furniture for watching movies, a ping pong table and shelves bursting with board games, this is where the antiqueloving couple lets loose. An antique player piano that Steven Edgerly, 32, restored and electrified sits in one corner of the old Delta Township farm house. Against the opposite wall, an extensive collection of player piano rolls hold music that spans the history of the house. On the top of the shelf, a stack of new rolls mark Steven’s history with his wife, Cathleen. She gets one as a gift for Steven each year. It’s just one of the ways they make new memories in their antique home. Cathleen, 27, and Steven met in church choir and bonded over their love of music.

What’s your design style? • Steven: I don’t know, my brother says we make it look like a museum. We like antiques. • Cathleen: But we live in it. We don’t want stuff to be showy that doesn’t function for modern purposes. It’s a blending of modern and the past. Some of them are pieces we’ve had in the family. Our antiques that we’ve bought through Craigslist or just finds, they have the character marks. And with the years, we’re going to give them more character marks with kids. What DIY projects have you taken on with the house? • Cathleen: We walked in the front door and I fell in love with this entryway. This house had potential (but) every room had something that needed to be done. We had to clean up all the floors because all the rooms had carpet stuck down with double sided tape. When we first moved in, every day there was family helping tear stuff down and put it back up.

• Steven: We did a lot of painting, and the kitchen is all brand new. Our family helped us out a lot. It took us about a month to get it into move-in ready shape. What are the challenges of the space? • Steven: Everything is not straight. The house is over 100 years old, so some things go at a little bit of an angle. I think one of the hardest things is finding a straight line. Sometimes when you hang things up, it measures level but doesn’t look exactly right. You can’t always find things that match when you want to replace a piece of trim, or make something look like it was always there. What’s your favorite element of the space? • Cathleen: Definitely the woodwork. We wanted to keep a lot of the integrity of the home in any repairs we did. Our motto in redoing houses is if you’re going to do it, do it right. I come from a family that loves woodwork. We didn’t want to paint over anything. We wanted to clean up what we could and restore it to its original beauty.

Clockwise from top: Woodwork: Restored wood ﬁnishings on the ﬂoor and staircase make for an elegant entry to the Edgerly home. Window light: Stained glass brightens the parlor room. Pretzel chair: Unique furniture pieces are blended with more formal furniture. Dining room: The dining room set is 100 years old. Player piano: Steven received this player piano as a graduation gift; Cathleen buys him a new song roll each year.

Public Welcome!

The annual Michigan State University Comics Forum will take place this weekend on the MSU campus. The event brings together scholars, artists and fans of comics, graphic storytelling and sequential art. “It’s about getting comics and the comic world out there and letting everybody see it’s more than just superheroes,” said Jay Jacot, a Lansing-based artist and one of the event’s coordinators. That idea rings true in the work of keynote speaker Nate Powell, an award-winning artist and graphic novelist who created Swallow Me Whole, which takes on issues of adolescence and mental illness, and Please Release, a collection of autobiographical stories. Powell will speak at 7 p.m. on Jan. 21 in the basement theater of Snyder/Philips Hall. “His stories are more toward the darker side,” Jacot said. The Comics Forum hopes to entice casual fans of the medium to become super fans and connoisseurs. “When you pick up a book or a comic or go see a movie, you enjoy it for what it is,” Jacot said. “But when you get to meet the creators behind it or someone who was a part of it, it becomes so much more (exciting).” Panel discussions open to the public throughout the event will bring professors and professionals together to discuss comics and graphic storytelling. Admission for all portions of the two-day event are free. On Saturday, more than 20 artists will display their work as part of an “Artist’s Alley” at the LookOut! Gallery in the Residential College in the Arts and Humanities. “We’ve got artists that are going to be talking about their creative process,” Jacot said. “It’s not something you get to see every day.”

Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger

A C O US T I C S E S S I O N S (CHIMERA MUSIC)

As Sean Lennon’s first set of pop songs since 2006’s criminally underrated “Friendly Fire,” “Acoustic Sessions” doesn’t so much add any colors to his songwriting palate as it does refine and enhance it. Paired with his girlfriend and songwriting partner Charlotte Kemp Muhl, GOASTT is a proper, collaborative duo album and it feels that way. They share vocal duties, and Muhl’s sweet, thin voice blends nicely with Lennon’s slightly nasal but unmistakably son-of-John’s. The songs are as the title suggests: simple, vaguely psychedelic tunes ideal for sitting, crossed-leg, on a throw rug with headphones clamped tight. “World Was Made for Men” is maybe the most Beatlessounding thing Lennon has recorded, and its overdubbed vocals and insistent melody are the album’s highlight. More slow burn than show stopper, “Acoustic Sessions” is a modest, finely-crafted pop album.

It was a wet, snowy day, but the restaurant was busy. We were led through the main area to the back, where the brightly lit room brought some life to a dreary day. The area is adorned with MSU memorabilia and a ton of personalized Michigan license plates — MICHST8 and IDEAMAN to name a few.

Melissa ordered the Thai chicken salad ($8.99) — mixed greens, grilled chicken, mandarin oranges, toasted almonds, red onions and red peppers tossed in a Thai vinaigrette, topped with fried cellophane noodles. It was a big combination of fresh ingredients with plenty of leftovers. The vinaigrette was on the thicker side — the right complement to the abundance of ingredients — bringing out the sweet and savory. A salmon dish and chicken dish are marked “lite,” and I chose the latter, which comes with wild grain rice and a side of fruit ($8.99). The big piece of grilled chicken didn’t have too much ﬂavor, but any kind of marinade would’ve defeated the purpose of “light.” But, it was juicy. The rice was light; the meal was ﬁlling.

I love going to a restaurant and discovering something new, whether it’s a food item or upgraded decor. I had been to Harrison Roadhouse in East Lansing a handful of times — it’s a go-to spot before and after MSU basketball and hockey games for many fans — but always seemed to get seated in the front. During this visit, however, we were seated in the back, which offered a brand-new perspective of the restaurant.

STOMP is not an average night at the theater. It’s full of fast-paced percussion that turns everyday objects like brooms, garbage cans and hubcaps into musical instruments. As the STOMP touring cast prepares for three nights of performances at the Wharton Center in East Lansing, NOISE caught up with cast member and rehearsal director Donisha Brown. What was your introduction to STOMP? I first saw the show when I was in college and fell in love with it. I left the theater that night so excited about performing. It’s a completely different feeling. I just loved the energy, I loved how fresh and interesting it was. Just the idea of making music out of everyday things really blew my mind. I also loved how diverse the cast was. Often in theater, you have a somewhat still pretty segregated place. (In STOMP) you can see every type of person, size, ethnicity. It’s really an ensemble cast and that also was really exciting to me. What are your favorite everyday objects turned into instruments in the show? Brooms are fun because you can get three or four different sounds out of a broom. I get to play a Big Gulp cup and that’s really fun. I attach a straw to it and it sounds like a drum. We have some new numbers in the show. (One uses) tractor tire inner tubes that are attached to our bodies. It sounds like a style of Japanese drumming. The sounds that we can get out of that are amazing. How do you manage doing a fast-paced show with the stresses of touring? It’s very rigorous. We definitely have to get massages every week and take really good care of our bodies. We have eight people on stage but we have 12 cast members so everyone gets a night off in order to help our bodies recover. To be honest, every single night we go out there and as soon as we hear the audience, we’re ready to give 110 percent. How are the new performance numbers created? (The creators) travel a lot. They do other movies and other shows, so when they’re in different countries and when they’re inspired by something, they’ll pick it up. (Then they) workshop it in Brighton, England and all of a sudden we’ll have a new number in the show. All of our classic numbers that people know us for, the music has been reworked, the choreography has been reworked too. It is like a new show.

WWW.GOOSEISLAND.COM 5.6 PERCENT ABV

It’s easy to forget during the winter beer releases of strong imperial stouts and barleywines that there are also less intense beers available that are just as good. Goose Island’s Mild Winter Ale is an example of a beer I would like to see more of as an allyear offering from breweries. It has the nutty, roasted malt character of a brown ale (although it’s not that style) without excessive hop bitterness or heavy malt body. Instead of jacking up the beer with a bunch of crazy spices like many breweries do with specialty beers during the holiday season, Goose Island decided to use rye as a special main ingredient. This adds a slight spicy, bready character to the beer and also provides a drier ﬁnish to offset the sweeter caramel malts. I personally enjoy breweries playing around with malts for their holiday beers over using cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, etc. Mild is a relative term regarding Mild Winter; at 5.6 percent, it’s still stronger than the average beer consumed in the country.

T O DD H A EF ER beerman@postcrescent.com

The carbonation is just right for the colder weather — a lessthan-medium that allows the malt character to really shine. For those looking for a classic winter style, Founder’s Porter, from Founders Brewing Co. of Grand Rapids, should be right up your alley. It’s one of the darker porters I’ve seen — nearly black, like stout — but doesn’t have that style’s intense, bitterish malt bite. The thick, rocky head is an unusual dark brown, and the ale looks like dark motor oil pouring into the glass. The body is lighter than it looks, though, and is creamy and silky with all those good caramel and chocolate malt ﬂavors balanced by a slight tang of plum-like dark fruit, like a rich red wine.

Todd Haefer writes about beer for Gannett. Some of the beers may have limited availability. Check brewers’ websites.

Small-town bar takes a classy approach at Charlie’s Having visited my fair share of small-town bars, as I parked along Main Street in Perry, I felt fairly confident that I knew exactly what to expect from Charlie’s Bar & Grill. Charlie’s was far from the small, dimly lit, dingy, Bud-and-Bud-Lightonly, suspicious-glances-from-the-regulars hovel I was anticipating. Instead I found a bar that was nearly gleaming with tidiness, well-lit, warm and absolutely bursting with quiet, well-behaved patrons on an ordinary Thursday. I nearly walked back out to make sure I’d come into the right building. But it’s true; Charlie’s is small-town classy. The well-varnished hardwood of the floor, bar, high-top pub tables and stools makes for a clean and shiny atmosphere. The mild-mannered crowd, in addition to seeming like nice-sort of folk, was too busy eating to make much of a racket. “Our food is awesome,” said Charlie’s employee Carl Davis. “We pride ourselves on being a family restaurant.” I have to agree on the food. Conventional bar food wisdom says all fish on bar menus is fried. Not only did the Lemon Pepper Cod special I had break that rule, but also the rule about all

non-fried ﬁsh on any restaurant menu being at least $10. Behind the bar, Charlie’s is at least one cut above the average. While the taps did not include the hip selection of local and regional craft brews of more metropolitan bars, the presence of beers like Blue Moon and Killian’s Irish Red gives beer lovers more to work with than the typical rotation of Bud, Bud Light, Miller and Miller Lite of most rural bars. Plus, I was offered — and tried — a Blue Moon-Killian’s mix Davis called “Harvest Moon,” which was not only tasty, but won them beer points for creativity. While Charlie’s may be foremost a restaurant and mellow drinking hole during the weeknights, things do get spiced up a bit on the weekends.

As the week’s biggest dinner crowd is ﬁnishing up on Friday, in comes the DJ to get the place jumping. “Sometimes he hooks up the karaoke machine if there’s a good crowd,” Davis added. The Charlie behind Charlie’s is Charlie Devine, who has owned the bar for 15 years, and also owns locations in Potterville and Westphalia under the same name. Owning bars around Lansing but not in the city is no accident. According to Devine, there’s a charm to small-town bars like his in Perry that can’t be found in bigger cities. “I think anybody who comes to a small town is always surprised by the value,” said Devine, “how reasonably priced it is for how nice it is. And we’ve got something for everyone, too. We are family-friendly for dinner and have the DJ and karaoke during the evening. “In Lansing, you have to specialize,” he said. “Not here. We’re a little bit of everything. I think that’s part of its charm.” Natalie Burg is a writer and cheerleader of Michigan businesses — particularly ones with wine lists and numerous beers on tap.

‘Party Down: Season One’

S TA R Z / A N C H O R B AY (280 MIN, NOT RATED)

Showtime’s profanely hilarious saga of a motley crew of caterers consisting of has-beens, wannabes and never-weres is another shining example that razor sharp writing and an inspired cast do not a hit show make, as it was cancelled after only the second season. That’s a shame, because along with “It’s Always Sunny,” it served as the most noholds-barred, adult comedy on TV. The show is a who’s-who of recognizable faces, from Jane Lynch (“Glee”) to Ken Marino (“The State”), and everyone delivers A-grade performances, perfectly tiptoeing the line between caricature and real person. Each episode unfolds at a catering gig, where boozing, infighting and the unbridled urge to open a soup and salad chain are the norm. And they are all unstoppably riotous. Note to casting directors: hire Martin Star! He slays as Roman, above-it-all screenwriter and lover of “hard sci-fi.” Give the guy a series and get out of his way.
