It’s not unusual for an actor or a screenwriter to become a director, but you don’t often hear of a stunt man who does. You’d think having a stunt man behind the camera would result in something mindless and full of explosions, until you see Nash Edgerton’s “The Square” (2008), a deep, dark look at greed, adultery and bad decisions. Our story takes place in a small Australian town where we meet Raymond Yale (David Roberts). Ray is a housing contractor, a middle-aged guy with sad eyes and two big secrets he’s been keeping from his devoted wife, Martha (Lucy Bell). The first is that he’s been awarding contracts to the construction crew who gives him the biggest kickback. The second is that he’s having an affair with the beautiful and much younger Carla Smith (Claire van der Boom). Carla is also married to Greg (Anthony Hayes), a violent mechanic who dabbles in crime to supplement his income. Carla is miserable with Greg. For months, she’s been pestering Ray about running off together. Although Ray claims she’s the only woman for him, he keeps stalling Carla with one excuse after another. Frustrated, Carla gives Ray an

ultimatum. She tells him that she discovered a suitcase full of stolen cash Greg hid in their home. It’s more than enough for them to leave and start a new life together, free of pesky spouses. If the money were to turn up missing, it’s not like Greg could report it to the police. Why not just take it and run away right now? Greg would know someone took it, Ray points out, and with Claire gone, it wouldn’t take him long to figure out who. He’d find them and make them pay — and not only by giving the money back. Greg could very well kill them both. The only way to make that cash disappear is to get it out of the house and then burn the place down. Greg would never know his loot didn’t go up in smoke. Ray is joking, but Carla seizes on the idea and won’t let go. She refuses to speak to Ray until he agrees to carry out the plan. With the threat of no Carla in his future, Ray doesn’t take long to cave. He hires a local thug named Billy (Edgerton’s younger

brother Joel, who co-wrote the screenplay) for the task, telling him to make it look like an accident. Simple, really — until the moment the doomed plan is put in motion and everything falls apart. “The Square” is so well done that you’d never guess it was Nash Edgerton’s feature film debut. The performances are excellent (especially David Roberts), and the tension Edgerton creates is so intense that it’s uncomfortable to watch at times. I loved the relentless downer-ness of it all, especially the bleak, rainy scenes at the construction site. Nash Edgerton has more than 100 movies and television shows to his credit as a stunt man, including “Star Wars: Episode II, Attack of the Clones,” where he worked with brother Joel (who starred as a young Uncle Owen) and “The Matrix Reloaded,” which featured “The Square’s” star David Roberts as Roland. Edgerton continues to work in the stunt field, but with his talent as a director now established, let’s hope it isn’t long before he steps behind the camera again. You can find “The Square” (rated R for language, violence and a brief sex scene) at Hastings. Check it out!

Local singer set to have release party By Doug Hill pop reviewer

Maggie McClure, “Good Morning & Good Night,” Maggie McClure Music The new EP from Norman-based Maggie McClure was recorded and mastered in Nashville, but don’t expect hayseed twang. No steel guitar in any of these six tracks. While McClure’s pretty soprano sounds child-like on the title song, it’s a very attractive introduction to a sweet set of tunes. McClure would be a natural performing at Lilith Fair, reminiscent of Lisa Loeb, Sarah McLachlan and, more recently, the pop confections of Colbie Callait. Her music is soft and sensitive, and the lyrical subject is relationships. Searching her heart for clues when there’s no answer in mere words is at the center of “Everything We Don’t Say.” All compositions, save “The Girl You Want to Be,” are writing collaborations

If you go Maggie McClure’s EP release party will take place 7 p.m. Saturday at the Hidden Castle, 1309 24th Ave. SW. Cost is $10. The album will be available at the show and then on iTunes beginning Sept. 21.

with men. Some of their names are found in the album’s player credits. If you’re a young man with a propensity for being non-committal, “Are You Here to Stay” should be a scary song. There’s a quiet fierceness and determination in the lyrics that belie McClure’s seemingly gentle vocals. That ethereal quality is found in spades on “Nothing Was Left,” and brings to mind an old grin. How many sopranos does it take to change a light bulb? Just one. She holds the light bulb, and the world spins around her. McClure’s CD release party for “Good Morning and Good Night” will be 7 p.m. Saturday at the Hidden Castle, 1309 24th Ave. SW.

The Deli diversifies its stage By Aaron Wright Gray pop editor

Lori Treisa, owner of The Deli, was worried that the music scene at the bar/venue was getting in a rut. Not wanting to be pigeonholed into a certain sound, she enlisted the help of two local music entities. “Locally, I kind of felt like I was missing the younger generation,”Treisa said. After seeing the Blackwatch Studios Stage and the Guestroom Records Stage at the Norman Music Festival, she turned to them for ideas. Travis Searle, owner of Guestroom Records, said he has been focusing on bringing smaller, local garage rock, lo-fi and punk bands to The Deli. He characterized them as wild, party music. “That’s what I want to hear,” Searle said. “There’s a small, but loyal following of what we’re going for.” Guestroom Records is responsible for booking bands every third Wednesday of the month. Jarod Evans, co-owner of Blackwatch Studios, on the other hand, is bringing more of an indie rock scene to The Deli. So far, Blackwatch has booked acts like Jacob Abello, Gentle Ghosts, Native Lights and Broncho. As if great music weren’t enough to bring somebody to a show, Evans said on Blackwatch Studio nights at

the Deli, the first 50 people after 9:30 p.m. receive a free beer. Blackwatch Studio’s nights at The Deli aren’t set for a certain time each month. Treisa said The Deli has long been a staple for up-andcoming musicians, and she would like to keep it that way. This program for diversifying The Deli scene has only been in the works for a couple of months.Treisa is looking

forward to seeing how it goes over with University of Oklahoma students. The Guestroom Record night at The Deli is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. Wednesday.The Blackwatch Studios night is scheduled for 10:30 p.m.Thursday and will feature Sherree Chamberlain and guests. The Deli is located on Campus Corner at 309 White St.

Mainsite highlights works of 2 Oklahoma artists Special to pop The MAINSITE Contemporary Art Gallery is featuring the work of Marlow native and former Norman resident O. Gail Poole and Oklahoma City native John Seward. The show opened Sept. 10 and will continue through Oct. 30. A midway opening event will take place 6-10 p.m. Oct. 8 during the 2nd Friday Circuit of Art. The Mainsite Art Gallery is located at 120 E. Main St. and is open 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

O. Gail Poole “Poole,” as he is affectionately known, has painted for more than half a century. A native Oklahoman, born in the small town of Marlow in 1935, many of his works depict both the landscape and the subtle attitudes of the untamed Southwestern plains. Of his work, Poole said, “I am influenced by the world around me, and the world always provides me with new information.” He nurtures his passions for artistic experimentation and design and has steadily created a diverse and inspired body of work — an artist’s portfolio eagerly collected and highly respected by his art peers across the country. Prior to making the decision to become a full-time artist, Poole worked as an award-winning advertising artist and illustrator for almost two decades. He created and served as chairman of the Oklahoma City Art Directors Guild and opened an advertising art studio in Oklahoma City, Poole-Hobbes, Inc. In 1972, Poole was invited to participate in an

international exhibition of Western art in Düsseldorf, Germany. That show was a catalyst for Poole. It encouraged him to abandon the creative limitations of advertising art and forge a new career as a full-time fine arts painter.

John M. Seward John Seward was born in Oklahoma City in 1950. Throughout school, his interests included music, science and art, which were nurtured at Putnam City schools. He attended Oklahoma City University, where he majored in psychology. Seward married Mary Walsh in 1971, just prior to beginning a 22-year relationship as the co-founder of Hobby Lobby Stores. Seward’s career as an artist began in high school with courses and competitions including Young Talent in Oklahoma. He began seriously painting in watercolor in 1970, which resulted in a series of botanical and still-life paintings exhibited at local art events, including the OKC Festival of the Arts from 1974 through 1982. A growing business refocused his art in the 1970s and 1980s to hand-rendered advertisements for Hobby Lobby. Although he continued to paint occasionally, it was not until he retired from Hobby Lobby in 1994 that his interests in painting and photography could be pursued with a full-time commitment. Seward has two photographic bodies of work that premiered in Oklahoma City in 1998, “Deux Fois,” a portfolio of 10 images produced in camera double exposures and “Homage to Contemporary Painters,” a 20-piece body of work combining painting and photography.

Rock ‘n’ roll drummer shares tales By Andrew W. Griffin Pop writer

With his drumming skills appearing on more than 100 record albums and 20 hit singles, long-time drummer Johny Barbata is a rather humble guy who has witnessed a lot of rock ’n’ roll history. Barbata was at an Oklahoma City music store recently when he spoke to Pop about his years playing drums with The Turtles; Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young; Photo by Andrew Griffin Jefferson Airplane/Starship Johny Barbata signs books for fans Aug. 27 at OKC and many others. Music and Sound in Oklahoma City. Barbata was at OKC Music and Sound holding an autograph session for his selfpublished book “Johny Barbata:The Legendary Life of a Rock Star Drummer.” The book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in 20th century pop music, particularly that Laurel Canyon/California rock and pop sound that came out of the 1960s and 1970s. The book, written by Barbata, is a first-person narrative. For grammarians, there may be some frustrating mistakes left in the text but, for fans, it will prove to be a minor nuisance. It’s Barbata’s inside, behind-the-scenes approach that is enticing and interesting. Barbata offers anecdotes, including some from his

ROBOTMAN & MONTY® by Jim Meddick

Tales: Approach is enticing, interesting Continued from pg. 5 childhood. A family move to California during his teens proved to be important for the young man, who got his first set of drums and joined a surf band called The Sentinals. It was playing with The Sentinals that gave him a chance to improve as a drummer. After he split from The Sentinals, he and a buddy ended up in Hollywood. In the spring of 1966, Barbata was approached by Gene Clark of The Byrds. He told Barbata that an up-andcoming group called The Turtles was looking for a new drummer. Barbata auditioned and got the gig. Between performing on “The Ed Sullivan Show” and surviving a crash-landing in an airplane in a Pennsylvania cornfield, Barbata reminisces about being a Turtle. While Barbata gained a lot of experience playing with that pop group, he moved on to the life of a band member and session drummer. Drugs came and went, and Barbata managed not to become a casualty. In the late 1960s, Barbata said he lived on Stanley Hills Drive in Laurel Canyon. Barbata was not at a loss for landing jobs. He was picked up by rock supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, appearing on their live “4 Way Street” album. He became a member of Jefferson Airplane and remained as they morphed into Jefferson Starship throughout the 1970s. All in all, Barbata’s positive nature comes through loud and clear, noting his conversion to Christianity at the end.

While he called northern California home for many years, he and his wife, Angie, moved and settled in the Ada, Okla., area in the 1990s. Barbata continues to play, record and has a drum instructional DVD he sells, along with this book. For more information, go to www.johnybarbata.com.
