ell, this is awkward. Billy Ayers, also known as hip-hop artist Wild Bill (and who is also part of our Oaktopia preview on Page 7) reportedly broke Real Rad Records founder Tony Snow’s nose and eye socket in a dust-up at Hailey’s Club on Tuesday night. The scuffle had Facebook buzzing early Wednesday morning. Details are in dispute, but Snow’s friends pressed the Denton label owner and promoter to lawyer up. One thing is for sure: Ayers is built like a Saxon warrior. That punch had to hurt. ■ Andre Rheault, best known as Frenchy, noted that his business Frenchy’s Lawn & Tree Service has never been an honoree of the annual Mayor’s Council Awards. Rheault is nothing if not deeply involved in Denton, and said on social media that the city might take the business for granted. In his online comments on the Denton Record-Chronicle report on this year’s honorees, he mused, “Maybe they don’t like orange?” Might be time for a set of bright orange keys to the city. ■ First Baptist Church of Denton demolished the Cindy Nichols Chapel for a new construction project. The stainedglass windows were salvaged, and church officials said they will be used in the construction of a new children’s area. The church embarked on an enormous campaign last November to build 26,000 square feet of new space and remodel another 41,000 square feet. The projected cost is $9.1 million, with a finish date expected in fall 2017. ■

Heather Gregory is leaving her position as the director of SCRAP Denton (the acronym stands for School and Community Reuse Action Project) to take a job with the city. SCRAP is officially looking for a new leader to guide the nonprofit office, craft and art supply reuse store, gallery and education program. Gregory is the daughter of council member Dalton Gregory. The SCRAP job description is here, if you’re looking: http://scrapdenton.org/blog/blog/scrapdenton-is-hiring/675/. ■ KISS rocker Gene Simmons — the guy with the tongue and dragon boots — was in The Colony for a sneak peek at his restaurant Rock & Brews on Monday. The new spot is at 5351 Nebraska Furniture Mart Drive in The Colony. This is the first restaurant “The Demon” has opened in Texas. ■ Retno’s Refusal is the little documentary that could. The film shows how an Indonesian activist learns how to improve her nonprofit by touring the Denton landfill. Retno Hapsari’s nonprofit XSProject buys trashed items from the trash pickers in Jakarta’s Cirendeu dump, then sells products made from the items. The film received the Audience Award for Documentary Short Film at the Awareness Film Festival last weekend in Los Angeles. Australian, Swedish, Latin American, East Indian and Chinese viewers were in the audience. The documentary was made by Denton filmmakers Susan Carol Davis and Kathryn Bauswell. ■ Denton will set its arts luminaries in stone. Literally. City officials have planned a Denton Arts Walk of Fame that will run along East Hickory Street from Locust Street to Bell Avenue. Twelve people will be inducted this year. Seven are musicians, one is a band, and two are artists. One inductee is a poet and another is an architect. ■ File this under the newsroom is the last to know: Yep, the Denton Record-Chronicle is selling its Hickory Street building. Nope, not sure where we’ll end up. (If you’re reading this, Bill Patterson, we won’t be mad if our new digs aren’t on Loop 288. What? Some of us have a tab at Jupiter House Coffee.)

Kevin Wickersham, foreground, plays a mental asylum patient during the French Revolution who portrays Jean-Paul Marat in a play directed by fellow inmate, the Marquis de Sade. The scene is part of Denton Community Theatre’s “Marat/Sade,” which runs Friday through Sunday at the PointBank Black Box Theatre.
Of Marat and madness Community theater’s weekend play has a sadistic streak
D
enton Community Theatre opens its black box season with an audacious play that has challenged audiences and beguiled actors. Playwright Peter Weiss’ Marat/Sade is set in the French Revolution, inside the walls of a mental hospital that is home to none other than the Marquis de Sade (the wealthy Frenchman for whom sadism is named). The marquis directs a play enacting the last days in the life of political agitator Jean-Paul Ma-
rat. The R-rated production explores insanity and sexuality, all while taking aim at abuse of power. The Marquis de Sade directs his fellow inmates in the grisly play, and calls into question individuality and freedom. Nurses and supervisors at the asylum step in to restore order at points, but their grip is loose and the marquis is hungry. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at the PointBank
Black Box Theatre, 318 E. Hickory St. Tickets cost $15, and are available at the door or online at http://dentoncommunitytheatre. com/blackbox. (The official title of the play will remind some of a certain Fiona Apple album title. In its entirety: The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade.) — Lucinda Breeding

aktopia Fest turns three years old on Friday, and when the gates open, the festival includes about 100 local acts across about a dozen stages. That’s more than any festivalgoer can fit in with a single wristband. But when attendees drop in on a showcase sporting a Denton band or solo act, the set could be anything from a explosive pop-rock set to an intimate, quiet acoustic performance or a winking, selfsatisfied slice of hip-hop.

enton’s Jessie Frye said she doesn’t want people to think she came out of nowhere. “I’ve been doing this for six, seven years,” Frye said. The local pop-rock artist has been on her grind, so to speak, and the last two years have been kind. She opened Edgefest 24 in 2014, she played South by Southwest music festival pitching her own music sponsored by MAC Cosmetics. She dropped Obsidian and then got to work on her latest EP, Boys’ Club, which gets a pre-release party and war paint session during her Saturday night set at Oaktopia. She plays at 11 p.m. at Harvest House. She also inked a deal with

Baconomics Breed (Cameron Turrill) and Hamer (Hamid Rasul). The crew plays Oaktopia Fest with a short set on Saturday night. Baconomics was born out of a mutual admiration between Wild Bill and Blaze, which came with its fair share of predictable suspicion. “I knew he was a battle rapper, which I think is corny as hell,” Bill said. “But I saw the video he did for ‘Pardon My Back’ with [Denton producer and emcee] Juicy the Emissary, and I was impressed.” The pair wasted no time. They drafted the considerable talents of Dallas beatmaker Rob Viktum (Rob Vick) and made the first album. When they wrapped, the duo had an album of laid-back-in-the-haze Baconomics, a project that punctuates tracks with snippets about bacon — there’s a wartime prompting for Americans to eat more bacon so glycerin can be extracted from the fat to make explosives; a
mouthy kid reading a woman the riot act for scrubbing canned cheese and bacon from the fridge; and Parks and Rec Libertarian Ron Swanson raging against a fictional bacon shortage. At that point, though, the album and the duo was nameless. “I came to Denton to do a song at A Dub [studio] just before Oaktopia, and we just decided to put some words into a hat to name the EP and the group and then see what happened,” Blaze said. “Someone drew ‘bacon.’ We were sitting around trying to decide. We were trying ‘bacon’ and another word. I finally said ‘baconomics’ and the room got quiet.” It really works. The record and the artists follow the hiphop bible — the art is about flavor, excess and savoring the strong. Add to it the American simultaneous love and loathing of pork (the rich white meat and prodigal spending, respectively) and the rappers had an idea and an identity. “Hip-hop is all about ego, and we definitely play with
that, have a good time with that,” Blaze said. There was one particular problem with Baconomics. The feel of record — so choice for driving or headphone sessions — is a little on the glacial side for live sets. The record doesn’t drag, and there are moments of the demanding, rapid-fire verses that separate the winners from wannabes. But Rob Viktum’s beats are post-blunt easy. Blaze and Bill said they take care to really perform when doing Baconomics tracks. They might overplay their enfant terribles roles a little, they said, but that helps keep the crowd engaged. “We have a slightly comical approach to what we do, on the record and live. I think of it as being a little like Daniel Tosh and Louis C.K., who I like for different reasons,” Bill said. “But it’s not a gimmick. We’re not trying to be ultra-conscious or off the wall. It’s more about making music people enjoy while still expressing ourselves.” Present-day Baconomics gets its levity from Blaze, who
isn’t afraid to dip into faint immaturity to win a cheeky joke at his own expense, or ours. And the upcoming record will be a sonic detour with Wonder Breed’s beats. “When I make beats, I’ll send them to people I think will like them,” Breed said. “I sent the guys whole folders of stuff. I like to let them pick what they like. I think that’s the best way to do it.” The big, blustering anchor of Baconomics is Wild Bill, with his barbed-wire-sharp rhymes and encyclopedic brain. The guy can plunder a righteous barb from any popculture phenomenon you can imagine (“Can’t shake this dark passenger/Dexter show me what this hunger is that I’ve been asking for/After this dope, you’re gonna ask for more ...”) Bill is blessed with a good voice — both as a writer and a rapper. He makes a lot of references to his own size, but he has a lyrical heft to match. And as much as the artists aim jokes at themselves and insults at their lesser-endowed peers, Baconomics takes business really seriously.

unless otherwise noted, you can bet that Frye’s photos and music videos were conceived by the artist herself. The official music video for the first single off Boys’ Club, “One in a Million,” was her own invention. Frye appears as a the comic book hero come to life, the three-dimensional creation of a shy young woman. Frye wears armor, combatstyle boots and draws a sword against an otherworldly foe in the video. A music student of Frye’s, Sophie Shipp, appears as the girl making the comic book hero. “When I needed to come up with a video concept, I asked myself how ‘One in a Million’ made me feel,” Frye said.

The answer? Like a superhero. “I go all out with everything I do,” she said, “so I figured it would be fun to learn how to sword-fight, build my own costume and create a positive metaphor for creating your own future and following your dream.” Boys’ Club features a Paramore-inspired pop-rock attitude that feels native on Frye. And now she has the support to flesh out her already-detailed output. “I never like to slow down,” she said. “I am excited because I finally have an entire team — a label, management and a glam squad.”
Will Johnson plays Oaktopia on Saturday, just one day after his solo album “Swan City Vampires” drops.

Loss flavors ‘Swan City’ A
ustin musician Will Johnson said he and his family faced a lot of loss and change in 2014. The artist buried his mother and saw the breakup of his Denton-based band Centromatic after 18 years. “I thought I’d better get that all down, get that all written, when it was all raw,” Johnson said of his latest batch of songs. “I didn’t think it was a good idea to wait. I didn’t for a second think, ‘I’ll come back to that later.’ I had no way of

knowing if I could come back to it.” The end of Centro-matic wasn’t bad. It wasn’t fomented by festering resentments or infighting. “We got to the point where we thought it was time to pull the plug,” Johnson said. “We made the decision together.” See JOHNSON on 10

Johnson But the end of a band is still the beginning of a certain absence, and Johnson said the transition presented him with
predictable feelings as well as surprising ones. Johnson drops a solo record, Swan City Vampires, on Friday. On Saturday, he’ll play a solo set at 8:30 p.m. at Dan’s Silverleaf during Oaktopia. Johnson doesn’t hit the stage with a set list anymore,
but he suspects he’ll play some songs from Swan City in the acoustic set. Swan City Vampires is a rich record. Johnson uses these powerful, defining sounds — keening pedal steel, fuzzy, rasping guitars that growl without biting and poppy
keyboards. But even so, Swan City Vampires is neither alt-country nor earnest folk. It’s not easy listening, and it’s not Springsteen-style rock. “I think I worked hard to use a collection of acoustic guitars,” Johnson said. “I would
say, ‘Let’s use a different acoustic guitar on each record.’ That subconsciously makes a difference. And sometimes, I’ll try a one-note guitar effect on a different instrument. And hopefully that adds a lot of dimension.”

‘Destiny: The Taken King’ shakes things up
Denton Time
By Nicholas Friedman Gaming Critic
Destiny: The Taken King ★ ★ ★ ★ PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360; $60. When Destiny launched just a year ago, it was a hard-pressed recommendation. Between the off-balanced leveling system and the short campaign, players weren’t left with much to do, much less wanting to do more. With the game now entering its second year with a new expansion, “The Taken King,” publisher Activision and developer Bungie are taking things to a whole new level, literally. While the game has seen two expansions since launch: “House of Wolves” and “The Dark Below,” neither have offered anything in the realm of “The Taken King” in terms of polish or substance. The first change players will notice when booting up what the developer is calling “Destiny 2.0” is the absence of Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage’s voice. Replacing him is famed voice actor Nolan North, known for his work in the Uncharted and Assassin’s Creed series. Many

were unimpressed with Dinklage’s performance, so Bungie responded. The new level this game takes players to? 40. In changing the vanilla game’s “light” system, players are able to take their characters to level 40, with light being determined by a Guardian’s strength, armor, intelligence, etc.
In addition to these two rather major changes are new multiplayer modes and maps, new powers, a brand-new campaign with gorgeous cinematics, new player emblems and more.

begin the expansion’s campaign. This is a welcome addition, as it gets new players caught up with some of the older players, without cheating the latter (those guys still have all of their gear and weapons). For Activision, a publisher known for pumping out expansions and leaving newer players confused (see: World of War-
craft or Call of Duty), Destiny refuses to leave a Guardian behind. After all, there are only so many of them. The $60 package nets you the base game, its initial expansions and “The Taken King.” For those who already own Destiny, expect to pony up $40 for the new downloadable expansion.

Nicely acted by Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro, the artificial sweetener titled The Intern has its bright spots but is practically blinded by its own privileged perspective of life among the landed gentry of Brooklyn. It’s not fair to single out the writer-director, Nancy Meyers, whose better work includes Something’s Gotta Give and It’s Complicated, for making high-end escapist fantasies about a certain socioeconomic strata. Most Hollywood products work the same way. But this is a particularly frustrating case, because Meyers’ latest has many good lines, and good laughs, and even entire good scenes. Since his wife’s passing, retiree Ben Whittaker, played by De Niro, has lived a pleasantly routinized life alone for three years. Hired as a senior intern at a JackThreads-type online clothing company, he’s assigned to
the bustling startup’s founder and honcho, Jules Ostin, played by Hathaway in perpetual gomode. Jules tools around her company’s fabulous gut-rehab warehouse on a bicycle and never remembers to eat. At first Jules has no use for Ben, who sports the sole suit and tie amid a sea of unshaven chins and untucked shirts. Scene by scene, the boss comes to realize how much wisdom, experience, advice and class this man has to offer, although a good deal of his internship is spent chauffeuring Jules from her mouthwatering Park Slope brownstone to work and back again. These scenes, with Jules frantically working her iPhone, suggest an alternate title: Driving Miss Texty. Surprisingly, the biggest, broadest comic interlude clicks: a secret mission, conducted by Ben and his fellow (and much younger) co-workers, to retrieve a laptop from Jules’ parents’ house. In her best dialogue
De Niro, Hathaway try for inner life, but this ‘Intern’ is all shine
The Intern Rated PG-13, 119 minutes. Opens Friday.
about the stresses of work-life balance, Meyers suggests a measure of ambivalence and complication in its treatment of Jules, although on the surface she’s just another type-A workaholic out of a rom-com. The rom in The Intern is fraught for Jules; her marriage to an apparently genial, supportive husband (Anders Holm, duller than his material, even) suffers from issues undetected by their grade-school daughter (JoJo Kushner). For Ben, the rom’s provided by the clothing company’s staff masseuse, played by Rene Russo. While Jules wrestles with a decision to hire a CEO, Ben is there, always, guiding her way. Different movies stoke dif-
ferent, raging class issues in different people. Preston Sturges created confectionary treats (some of the tastiest ever in cinema) celebrating the joys of high living while remaining witty about the excess. Meyers has wit and a solid sense of craft, but mainly she makes movies about high thread counts and comfy, pricey throw pillows. There’s not much at stake for Ben; judging from the size and furnishings of his bedroom closet, this longtime phone book company executive is living a supremely comfortable retirement. Jules learns to be a less judgy, more nurturing leader and friend. Hathaway and De Niro are easy company, though there are times when De Niro mugging in close-up seems no better an idea here than it did in Little Fockers. Both actors suggest inner lives for their characters, even though the film itself is more of an outie — a collection of looks, and smiles and attractive surfaces.
