s part of NUVO’s big Beer Issue, we wanted the Hoosier State to weigh in on its ales and lagers, wits and porters. So we decided to comb the state for 64 brewers to compete in our Great Indiana Beer Bracket.

From these 64, we’ll crown ONE Gran’ Champeen brewer. You’ll help.

In fact, it’s ALL on you, O Wise NUVO Reader. You vote. You taste. You decide.

Here’s how it works: you’ll vote for your favorite brewers in head-to-head matchups at NUVO.net. We’ll pare it down to 32 brewers by Oct. 3, 16 come Oct. 10, eight on Oct. 17 and reveal the Final Four on Oct. 24. You’ll be able to vote ONCE each round.

The Final Four will be invited to a blind taste-test event with the Brew Bracket guys. Join us Nov. 1 at Chumley’s from 2-5 p.m. for the big finish. We’ll ask each brewer to bring a flight of beer in different styles.

We’ll have multiple style winners and a Grand Champion.

After much garment-rending and gnashing of teeth, the selection committee — a couple of tipsy NUVO Editors, Mike Sale from Brew Bracket, many columns from Rita Kohn and two Belgian monks (OK, we made that last part up) — have compiled the bracket here. We know Rock Bottom, RAM and some other nationally-owned chains are missing — we wanted to make this contest truly Indiana-centric.

We seeded as democratically as possible: we used the alphabet! This is why our pals at Bier and Triton have to slug it out early on.

The 64 have been placed into four divisions: North, South, Central and Capital (Indy).

o now that the Minnesota Vikings have suspended running back Adrian Peterson, all’s right with the NFL? Peterson, you will recall, is under indictment in Texas for whipping his four-year-old son with a wood switch until the boy was bloody. There are pictures that show what Peterson did...to a four-year-old.

When this case surfaced, the Vikings dithered. Never mind that Peterson admitted he beat his kid. Never mind the pictures. Never mind the indictment. “We must defer to the legal system to determine whether he went too far. But we cannot make that judgment,” said a Vikings’ hack.

The Vikings, of course, didn’t have to defer to anyone. Peterson is their employee, albeit a very, very rich and productive employee. They had all the evidence they needed to tell him to get lost.

Maybe it was Minnesota’s governor saying Peterson should be suspended.

But then the game was not yet a corporate behemoth and national metaphor.

The NFL is corporate America’s dream date. With its hyper- competition, self-aggrandizing analysis and barely contained violence, pro football is the capitalist fantasy on steroids.

Here is a so-called game that fewer and fewer people actually play. But this hasn’t stopped us from gleefully turning our publicly supported universities into modern gladiatorial schools, while forking over tax dollars for the creation of stadia where many of us can’t afford the price of admission.

As to the team owners, they’re the same One Percenters who would have us believe that regulation is bad, that markets correct themselves, that their judgment is terrific because, well, because they’re rich.

WHAT HAPPENED? Turner to resign if reelected District 32 State Representative Eric Turner, R-Cicero, announced he would leave the statehouse at the end of his current term, regardless of the outcome in the November general election. Turner is up for reelection and is on the ballot, however he says he will leave the post if reelected. The announcement came just a few weeks after House speaker Brian Bosma removed Turner from his leadership position as speaker pro tem. The cloud of ethical questions over Turner grew after the multi-billion dollar sale of a family company. He was investigated for failing to disclose personal financial interest in a debate he tried to influence during the last legislative session. A House Ethics Committee investigation cleared Turner of any wrongdoing, but Bosma said his actions were still inappropriate. Turner announced he’ll join a Christian ministry leadership mentoring organization. The District 32 seat faces a challenge by Democrat Bob Ashley of Tipton.

Indiana Moral Mondays Rally Approximately 300 people filled the south lawn of the Indiana Statehouse Saturday to hear the words of Dr. William Barber for the Indiana Moral Mondays kick-off event. Barber preached a sermon noting inequality and injustice in Indiana and around the nation. He urged Hoosiers to keep fighting, exercise their right to civil disobedience, and to keep the movement growing.

Following Barber’s words, several people addressed the crowd on specific issues such as minimum wage, the repeal of the state’s right-to-work law, education, immigration reform, healthcare clean energy, and others. National Organization of Women president Terry O’Neill illustrated how the issues of the Moral Mondays Movement align with NOW’s core issues. The rally attracted Hoosiers from all over the state including those from Gary, South Bend, Fort Wayne, Lafayette and other cities.

— AMBER STEARNS Domestic violence funding The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) approved $1.9 million in state grants for domestic violence programs across Indiana on Friday – but left another $1.1 million unspent as demands for services spike. The grants mean that 42 organizations will receive the same amount of state money as they did last year – even though the General Assembly voted to increase funding for the programs nearly 18 months ago. State Budget Director Brian Bailey told the ICJI board that the state last year reverted $344,000 in domestic violence money back to its general fund. That money was directed back to domestic violence programs Monday. Gov. Pence’s administration pledged the additional funding will be distributed soon and none of the money will be reverted again to the general fund. But ICJI officials say the groups must first provide more information about how they plan to spend the cash – and particularly what additional services or additional costs justify receiving more money.

The Central Indiana plan to end domestic violence

BY A M BER S TEA RN S AS T E A R N S @ N U V O . N E T

he NFL may have brought the issue of domestic violence to the forefront in recent weeks, but it is has been a national problem for a long time. In Central Indiana, advocates have been working to address the problem for the last 14 years.

The Community Wide Plan to End Domestic Violence 3.0 is the third strategic plan created to tackle the issue in Marion and surrounding counties.

“The idea for a community plan dates back to the late ‘90s,” says Lisa Osterman with Community Solutions, one of the many partners involved in the plan’s development and imple“Odds are if you aren’t a victim then mentation. In 2000,Mayor Bart you probably know someone who is.”

Peterson hosted a Roundtable — KELLY MCBRIDE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF to address the THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE NETWORK issue and the first community plan was born. “The first plan pulled ideas from various people and identified many approaches to addressing the problem,” says Osterman.

But it will give Domestic Violence Network. “We know

an indication of possible predictors and indicators to help determine how best to deploy services.”

The information collected from reported cases of domestic violence provides a marginal sample of the problem in the community. Osterman says they are working with law enforcement and the prosecutor’s office on ways to better identify domestic violence situations. “ A lot of cases in the criminal justice system are never listed as domestic violence cases when they should have been.” Current data indicates 12,000 to 14,000 cases in Marion County alone have a man, woman, or child involved in domestic violence.

Osterman and McBride believe that number is very low compared to the reality of unreported cases.

On the side of prevention, McBride says increasing public awareness is a key factor, especially in the workplace.

At least two buses and an unknown number of vans and cars carried Indiana residents to Manhattan for the People’s Climate March.

The purpose of the People’s Climate March was to get the attention of world leaders gathered for Tuesday’s United Nations Summit. U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-Moon, former U.S. vice president Al Gore, and actors Mark Ruffalo and Leonardo DiCaprio were among the climate activists who brought attention to global warming and other environmental issues.

Sierra Club volunteer Jesse Kirkham organized one bus from Indianapolis. He wrapped up the experience in one word.

“The whole experience was epic,” said Kirkham during the ride back to Indiana. “With each passing day more and more people signed up to go. The bus only held 56 people and we had a waiting list of more than 30.”

Another bus, organized out of Bloomington, carried 56 more people and had a waiting list just as long.

Kirkham says had they known the

response would be so great, they would have arranged for more buses. (Buses were at a premium for the weekend with more than 960 groups from all 50 states headed to New York.) Vans were arranged for the overflow and others simply made their own arrangements to get to the Big Apple.

The delegation from Indiana joined more than 300,000 people on the West Side of New York City for a march that took participants down a two-mile stretch of road. The group was so massive that several marchers waited more than three hours before beginning their walk.

“All along the way, the march was telling a story,” said Kirkham. “There were various issues all related to protecting our environment, about how it all links together and how it’s all going to limit our natural resources. It is all of concern.”

Protesters carried signs about greenhouse gases, the effects of war on the environment, the need for increased use of renewable energies and much more.

For the folks from Indiana, the journey was a spark to ignite change here at home.

“For me the journey was just as important, if not more important, as the destination,” said Kirkham. “I have met and talked to more and more people from around the state that are like me with the same concerns about the environment.

Now we can get together, get more organized, and have a better impact.”

The People’s Climate March kicked off a week of activities for the Environmental Defense Fund’s Climate Action Week.

Here in Indiana, the week will conclude with an Energy Freedom Rally.

Several local groups from around the state will gather on the east steps of the Indiana Statehouse Saturday to call on Governor Mike Pence and the Indiana Legislature to get serious about the environment. “ We plan to present a petition that calls for the governor to reinstate the energy efficiency plan that was in place,” said Kirkham. The groups will also call for a more aggressive approach to utilizing renewable energy in the state and letting go of fossil fuels. “[The momentum] started with the Moral Mondays rally Saturday afternoon and took us all the way to New York and back,” said Kirkham. “We are going to use this to hopefully make some positive changes.” n

VIOLENCE , FROM PAGE 06 “DVN also trains administrators and staff on how to recognize domestic violence and how to respond if they become aware of domestic violence among employees,” says McBride.

“74 percent of victims report being harassed by their abuser in the work-

place. Employers should have a plan on how they support and protect their employees.”

Osterman and McBride agree that the recent incidents in the NFL have raised the awareness in the community and may have prompted victims to come forward. But, there is a lot of work left to do to break the cycle and reach the plan’s ultimate goal.

“Domestic Violence is a learned behavior. Abusers learn to abuse, victims learn to tolerate, and there is a lot of justification from all sides,” says McBride.

“The good news is that we are finally having the conversation now,” says Osterman. “It’s only been 20 years that domestic violence has been recognized as an issue in our society.” n

avid Koechner is so much identified with the boorish chauvinists he’s played in a couple recent hit series — Todd Packer on The Office, Champ Kind in the Anchorman films — that it seems appropriate, essential even, for him to insist that he’s absolutely nothing like them in real life. Where Packer is misogynistic, homophobic and just awful, Koechner (pronounced keck-ner) sincerely apologizes for calling 20 minutes late and asserts that he’s “pro-woman,” a feminist even.

He’s the kind of guy that tries to create a “happening” during his stand-up shows, who wants to take the audience on a journey. Whose rambling tall tales — filled with vaguely disreputable characters drawn from a lifetime of observing outsiders and picking up on their mannerisms and patter — have a round-the-campfire feel.

Born in the small town of Tipton, Missouri and educated at Chicago’s Second City, Koechner’s also been seen on TV as a cast member on Saturday Night Live (1995-96) and as part of the musical comedy act The Naked Trucker and T-Bones Show, which began as a live show at Los Angeles alt-comedy mecca Largo before Comedy Central picked it up for a season.

NUVO: So you’ve been doing stand-up for about four years?

DAVID KOECHNER: That’s right, but I’ve done live for about 25 years because I’ve done improv and sketch and character pieces. So to me the only difference is it’s just you. And you might argue that’s a huge difference, but it isn’t for me.

NUVO: Why isn’t it?

KOECHNER: Because it’s all about performance for me. You’re performing a solo piece or you’re performing with other people. But your relationship is solely with the audience, not with your partner on stage. You’re building that relationship — and as opposed to a situation where they’re only passively watching, now you’re actually having a direct conversation with the audience the entire time, which can be a richer experience.

NUVO: Do you do “crowd work” or is it more a matter of adjusting your stories to the room?

KOECHNER: Crowd work is not my thing.

Typically that level of audience engagement is insult humor. And nothing against it: That’s fantastic when you’re great at it.

But I would say that I encircle the audience in a group experience, if you will.

That would be my crowd work, that we’re going to have this unique experience tonight, usually one of a kind. My show is tight and loose at the same time. I allow for a happening, if that doesn’t sound too corny, so we can all experience something together. If the mood is there, I’ll go out in the crowd and play. But I have my set act, like anybody else. There’s jokes, there’s stories — and I bring along a buddy of mine with a guitar, and I end the show with three songs. One of them is the dirtiest song ever written.

David Koechner is not the man he plays on TV name — it certainly wasn’t George — but he used to hang out at the four-way stop in the town I grew up in, Tipton. He just had a dangerous edge to him, and I remember the local police officer trying to run the guy out of town. It’s the classic thing: “Hey stranger, keep moving.” The guy was in town roofing in farms around the area, right? He had a job. He never caused any trouble. He didn’t even drink, actually. But he had big bushy red hair and he was just rangy, and I think that presented this air of being up to no good.

And I remember when the cops were hassling him, he told me that if they came up to him with their guns, that’s okay because he’s got “razors in his pocket.

Razors!” I thought, that’s no defense against a gun.

KOECHNER: Yes, both of those things. Some of them are real people, some are composites, some are just born of a physicality you’ll see in another person. You’ll get their physical mannerisms and then something else will come out. A whole character will be born from just that type of thing.

NUVO: Can you give me an example of a real person who gave birth to a character?

to lose! Throwing stars would make sense but not razors. He was an interesting guy.

NUVO: Todd Packer may be the only totally unsympathetic character on The Office.

KOECHNER: Of course, there’s no redemption for Packer. There are people we know like that in our lives and that’s why it’s so much fun to play a guy like that. I’m nothing like Todd Packer in real life, other than that I’m breathing and I’m a male.

NUVO: Having said that, do you think there’s a reason why you’re good at playing that type of part?

KOECHNER: Probably because they’re so much fun because you never act like that in real life. So the opportunity to completely unleash that kind of behavior is a complete joy and freedom. I don’t know why I’ve been asked to do it more than once because certainly Champ Kind is that kind of character too. They’re both misogynist; they’re both raging, dangerous alcoholics; they’re mildly racist and jingoistic. I don’t know if I have a stronger proclivity toward playing those guys over someone else, but it certainly has worked out. To me they’re satirical characters.

You could argue that because we show these people in this light, you go, thank God, I’m not like that. And by having that character represent a certain tactlessness or horror of life, you’re saying, we’re all agreeing we won’t tolerate this.

NUVO: You’ve worked quite a bit with both Steve Carell and Will Ferrell. How would you describe their approach to improv and comedy?

KOECHNER: Well, it’s clear that their comedy chops are of the highest order. Will Ferrell was one of the greatest players on Saturday Night Live in the history of the show. Steve Carell was one of the greatest sketch players at Second City in their history. We used to say at Second City that any scene that Steve Carell is in is just amazing. As far as Will goes, there’s something about him that people just absolutely go nuts for. His commitment, his attention to detail, his complete freedom, plus the intelligence there.

NUVO: They’re both so successful — and they have completely different styles.

KOECHNER: I’d agree with that. Will tends to wear these emotions on the outside of his uniform and is trying to figure out life, and Steve is more of a precision bomber or gunner.

NUVO: You worked with Carell at Second City in Chicago.

KOECHNER: I was there at a remarkable time when we had all of these people play-

Steve Carell, Amy Sedaris, Chris Farley, Mike Myers. You don’t know at the time that these people are going to be affecting the future of comedy, but you know everyone is really good and how great it is to play with good people. You just assume that’s the way it will always be. You don’t know until you look back and think, my God, what an amazing confluence of talent happened to be there when I was there.

NUVO: Do you have any sense of how that came about?

KOECHNER: I don’t. Chicago certainly draws people who want to do comedy — sketch comedy and improvisation. You could do a Freakonomics-style paradigm for why it worked, why those people were drawn to Chicago at that time. It could be because we grew up watching SCTV and Saturday Night Live and knew that those people started studying at Second City in Chicago. That could be part of it. All I can say is that for me, a lot of my heroes on Saturday Night Live were from Chicago.

NUVO: It seems like a lot of that energy has moved to L.A., which has a thriving comedy scene that you’ve been a part of for some time.

KOECHNER: There’s such an amazing group of comedians out here all the time now, and there’s so many rooms to get up and play in. New York has its own scene.

I’m sure Chicago does as well. But L.A.’s standup scene is really hot right now in my estimation. And everybody is really warm and friendly. There’s no cutthroat to it because there’s plenty of room. There’s a thousand ways to skin the cat now. It’s not like you’re starving for stage time. I’ve always been of the thought that if you can’t get on stage, it’s not because people are forcing you off. If you’re good, people want you to do their show.

NUVO: What do you look for in a comedian?

KOECHNER: A smart point of view. What you’d think anybody would dig: originality.

Someone who takes you down roads you had no idea they were heading to. When you think I couldn’t have gotten there by myself without you leading me. Anyone who finds fresh territory in your mind.

NUVO: And by extension, I suppose that’s your goal on stage.

KOECHNER: Right. What’s the most freedom I can give myself and give to the audience so I can bring us to a place that none of us have ever been before. n

A brief recap of the ninth Quadrennial International Violin Competition of Indianapolis

hough it happens only once every four years, those two weeks can seem like a lifetime to those, like myself, who spent hours and hours investing themselves in the artistic lives of some 40 violin players, listening from the preliminaries to the finals, armchair quarterbacking the jury’s results. Of course I’m talking about the Quadrennial International Violin Competition of Indianapolis— or simply the “Indianapolis” as it’s known in the violin world. It was launched in 1982 after several years of planning by Thomas Beczkiewicz (its first executive director) with the artistic guidance of IU professor Josef Gingold of IU, who’s been involved with every significant violin competition in the world. So if you do the math, you deduce that this year brought with it the Ninth Quadrennial.

The competition closed out Sept.

20 at the Hilbert Circle Theatre on the last night of the four-night finals, with the winners announced to the audience at about 11:30 p.m.

The six winners or laureates are:

Gold ($30,000): Jinjoo Cho, 26, South Korea Silver ($15,000): Tessa Lark, 25, U.S. Bronze ($10,000): Ji Young Lim, 19, South Korea 4th place ($7,000): Dami Kim, 25, South Korea 5th place ($6,000): Yoo Jin Jang, 23, South Korea 6th place ($5,000): Ji Yoon Lee, 22, South Korea

The nine-member jury votes on each candidate by secret ballot, does not discuss his/her views on any participant with any other juror during the entire two weeks and assigns a rating number from 1 to 25 for each player in each event: preliminaries, semi-finals, Classical finals and Romantic/post-Romantic finals. All these ratings are then crunched through a computer that spits out an overall rating score for each player — e.g. 22.086.

As has sometimes been the case, I differed with the jury on their final rankings. I thought Yoo Jin Jang played by far the most beautifully of any participant — especially in the Romantic finals where she performed the Tchaikovsky Concerto. By contrast, I heard nothing in Jinjoo Cho’s playing that made her stand out from the rest of them. The only place where I agreed with the jury was with their ranking of the U.S.’s Tessa Lark, who fully deserved her silver medal. n

The Two Gentlemen of Verona offers fun with muskets on the Indiana Reperatory Theatre stage.

SUBMITTED PHOTOS

SHAKESPEARE, ROSSINI AND A DEAD HUSTLER ON A STAGE NEAR YOU The Two Gentlemen of Verona w Through Oct. 19 I had never seen or read Shakespeare’s The Two Gentlemen of Verona before I saw it Sunday at the Indiana Repertory Theatre. I hated the playwright’s too-hasty ending to the story, but I loved the IRT’s completely entertaining production. The skilled actors, under the direction of Tim Ocel, make the 1500s language easy to understand, and the early1800s costumes, music and other design elements are all exquisitely crafted. Plus there is a gorgeous dog.

There is also a wealth of discussion fodder: What is the difference between love and lust? Can you force someone to love you? Can you figure out if someone is worth loving by going through a list of their vices and virtues? When should you give someone that has wronged you a second chance? Which is more important: friendship, love, or self-respect?

If I had gotten to see this show instead of the ten million productions of Romeo and Juliet that I had to sit through as a teen, I bet my high school years would have been a bit more enjoyable.

On the other hand, this piece could also be called Two Bro’s of Verona. It is about two young men, best friends. One, named Valentine (Charles Pasternak), is setting

Local performances worth enjoying: off to seek his fortune while the other, named Proteus (Chris Bresky), is staying home to woo a woman. Each thinks the other has misplaced his priorities.

But then Valentine falls in love with Silvia (Ashley Wickett), and Proteus is forced by his father (Antonio, played by Robert Neal) to travel to where Valentine is.

Then Proteus falls in love with Silvia, too. Uh-oh.

Proteus forgets all about the woman back home in Verona (Julia, played by Lee Stark) with whom he has had sex and exchanged rings and vows. He plots to get Valentine out of the way so that he can go after Silvia.

At one point, Proteus’ servant, Launce (Ryan Artzberger), says to the audience, “I think my master is a dick.”

Well, no, the word he actually uses is “knave.” But I knew what he meant, and I laughed out loud at the idea that men have been telling each other, “Don’t be a dick,” in so many words since Shakespeare’s time.

I cried during Valentine’s “What light is light, if Silvia be not seen” speech after he is banished from her town, but he is a bit of a knave too at the end. His wise fool of a servant, Speed (Scot Greenwell), says, “Love is blind,” and ultimately it is Silvia and Julia that are the most blind because they take their knaves back. I find it hard to believe that they will all live happily ever after, but I hope they do.

I want to give a special shout to actor Matt Holzfeind who plays, among other characters, Thurio, the stuck-up dandy that Silvia’s father wants her to marry. In Sunday’s show, a piece of the set fell down as he was leaving in a huff. He incorporated it into his exit perfectly without losing character for even a heartbeat.

Clark Gable Slept Here w Through Oct. 19 Often when I leave a Phoenix Theatre show I think, “Ah, that was some good food for thought.” But when I left after seeing the hilarious Clark Gable Slept Here by Michael McKeever last Thursday night, I thought, “That was like expensive champagne: frothy and decadent.”

I also felt as if the glass was empty too soon. By the clock the show is an hour and fifteen minutes with no intermission, but when the actors came out for their curtain call I almost forgot to applaud because I was thinking, “Wait, is that all there is?”

It wasn’t until I was driving home that I realized the champagne — I mean the show — was more potent than it seemed.

The story takes place in an elegant Hollywood hotel bedroom (set designed by Jim Ream), part of the penthouse suite, on the night of the Golden Globe Awards. When the lights first come up, there is a naked dead man on the floor.

The hotel manager and the maid are talking frantically with the tuxedoed agent of the action-adventure

movie star that rented the room and apparently hired the dead man for sex. The maid wants to go to church and the manager wants to call the police, but the agent insists that they all stay put while he calls in a favor from a someone that can make the body — and any related scandal — disappear. She arrives in her Golden Globes gown and jewels, annoyed at being called away from the event but determined to clear her debt to the agent.

The foursome’s attempts to accomplish the goal of dealing with the dead prostitute include surprise after surprise. Sometimes I stopped breathing myself, I was laughing so hard.

But what ultimately makes the show satisfying is that under Bryan Fonseca’s direction, each of the five excellent actors (Joshua Coomer, Maria Diaz, Charles Goad, Jen Johansen, and Tyler Ostrander) helps the playwright make a layered, cynical statement about human resistance to change. Is it depressing or a wake-up call? Or both? I’m still trying to decide.

The Italian Girl in Algiers e Sept. 26 and 27 Indiana University Opera opened its 2014-15 season last weekend with an excellent rendition of The Italian Girl in Algiers, a delightful and charming, if lesser-known, Rossini opera. Going in to the Sept. 20 performance, I thought it risky, or at least “interesting,” to open the season with a smaller-scale piece, but the entire crew, from conductor to orchestra to chorus to the main cast, pulled it off with zest.

The plot concerns Mustafa, bey of Algiers who finds his wife Elivira annoying, and decides to send her away and marry a slave he captured, Lindoro. Right off the bat, it was evident the cast had not only singing chops, but acting skills to match. Soprano Natalie Weinberg’s portrayal of dejected, rejected Elvira won major sympathy points, along with admiration of her strong, supple

sound. By contrast, everyone grew to loathe Mustafa, played as a quintessential misogynistic jerk by bass baritone Rafael Porto, singing with command and arrogance.

As the plot rolls along, we find Elvira’s maid, Zulma (mezzo soprano Anna Hashizume), doing her best to console her friend. I wish Rossini had written a bigger part for Zulma, but Hashizume did all she could, singing with a pleasingly clear yet rich tone. Mustafa comes to want a new wife — an Italian one to be exact — and sends his captain Haly, who is a bit of a jerk as well, ably sung by baritone Heeseung Chae, to find one for him.

He ends up finding the beautiful, shipwrecked Isabella, a confident, intelligent woman who is actually trying to find her long lost lover, Lindoro. Soprano Deniz Uzun’s full, alluring voice was perfectly suited to Isabella’s character, and her aria Cruda Sorte was exemplary. Tenor Lucas Wassmer captured Lindoro’s tender moments so well, with sensitivity and warmth (particularly when he sang about Isabella in “Languir per una bella”) which made up for his occasional lack of projection.

But the scene stealer was often Taddeo, an admirer of Isabella’s who was captured with her. Baritone Bruno Sandes has a bold, mature voice, and was absolutely hilarious without ever going overboard.

The cast was just as good when performing as an ensemble — and the opera chorus had a well rounded, mature sound, on par with the cast.

Conductor Mario Conti had a firm grasp of the score, and the IU Concert Orchestra was well prepared with a sophisticated sound.

Although they are a student ensemble, their musical maturity was impressive. The same can be said of all the students involved with the production. Scenic Designer Robert O’Hearn went conservative with his sets, which were nonetheless effective. With such high caliber performances, it’s unsurprising that IU’s Opera Theater program is so highly regarded.

elcome to NUVO’s 2014 Beer Issue, our grand overview of all brews Hoosier. As you thumb through the next several pages you’ll read about the process of Indiana craft brewing from fermentation to tap, the history of ales and lagers in Indiana and NUVO’s first Great Indiana Beer Bracket, an online contest that’ll see 64 breweries vying for your vote. (See the entries on pages 24 and 25.)

Perhaps you’re wondering why we’re rolling this out in late September. After all, a Beer Bracket might’ve been a nice play on March Madness, right?

So why now?

It’s Oktoberfest, baby!

In October of 1810, Prince Ludwig of Bavaria — who’d become King Ludwig I 15 years later — married Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. The runup to the event, a six-day festival of beer and amusements, became known as Oktoberfest. This year’s German version got underway this past weekend when the Mayor of Munich tapped 2014’s first keg of lager as his city welcomed roughly six million visitors from across

the globe. Women in dirndls and gents in lederhosen chug massive steins of malty, amber Marzen (March beer) that’s been cellared — “lagered” through the summer.

Oktoberfest has expanded to a 16-day festival that always begins in September. The earlier start ensures warmer weather outside the tents and often includes a celebration of German Unity Day: October 3, the date of reunification in 1990. The locals simply call the festival “Die Wiesen … because of its location, Theresienwiese, which was named after Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen,” according to Oktoberfest.de.

And, naturally, the Great Mash Tun that is the USA has embraced Oktoberfest, too. (Americans appropriating a drinking holiday? That’s a stunner.)

Central Indiana’s got a number of ‘Fests, and given the heritage of many Hoosier settlers, it only makes sense. When immigrants from Germany, Belgium and other nations landed in the new world, they immediately began making beer.

It was a traditional drink, and God only knew what was in the water supply in this strange land.

Although Indiana’s European immigrants brought with them centuries of

THE LIFE CYCLE OF

CRAFT

BEER T

By Sarah Murrell • smurrell@nuvo.net

Tow Yard’s three-man brwery team: Head brewer Bradley Zimmerman and assitant brewers Will Moorman and Tony Fleming.

he image of the craft beer brewer is now familiar to most beer drinkers: beard, rubber galoshes, a baseball cap, consuming endless beers on the company dime. This is all, generally, true.

But brewery work isn’t just one long keg party in waterproof shoes. On brewing days, Tow Yard assistant brewer Will Moorman is on his bike at 5 a.m., pedaling down the Monon from Broad Ripple in the pre-dawn chill and darkness to kick his workday off promptly at 6 a.m. Riding alongside is assistant brewer Tony Fleming (known at TY as “Fernie”), and along with head brewer Bradley Zimmerman they are the three-man team responsible for putting Tow Yard’s beer on the map.

By the time I had caught up with Moorman, around noon, much of the day’s tasks had been done: restocking Tow Yard’s bar, rolling filled kegs to the walk-in, washing empty kegs, checking the gravity of the beers fermenting in one of only a handful of tanks, a test that helps them determine how much sugar the yeast have consumed, (Newtonian gravity, on the other hand, helps the brew team figure out how much more

tasting they can do.) True to the stereotype, he crowds the lid of a nearby barrel of sanitizer with a half-dozen snifters filled with modest pours. “We do a decent amount of quality control,” he laughs. But the act of drinking what he’s brewing is, in fact, necessary for the success his — or any — brewery.

Tow Yard is experiencing the same journey familiar to lots of small businesses in the state:

its first year of commercial brewing. At this stage, the pressure is on thre brew team to make a beer worthy of buzz, and to create a stable of house beers that will gain a reliable following.

“I’m trying to make a consistent, balanced beer, in color, flavor, everything. A good beer should be balanced,” Moorman says. After all, triple IPAs are fun to make and taste, but you wouldn’t buy a keg of it for your backyard barbeque. That’s why brewing days start at 6, why the recipes are followed precisely, and why the scrubbing down and sanitizing is never-ending.

“Bacteria creates off flavors. If any of that gets into your beer, you’re going to get weird, sour, funky notes, trashy flavors. All sorts of strange, off-putting flavors.” Even the hoses that release the carbon dioxide from the fermentation tanks have to be plunged into buckets of sanitizer, creating a simple, gurgling airlock that no bacteria can take advantage of.

Bacteria is continually killed at every stage with the constant application of something innocently named “brewer’s soap,” which is stored in blue drums labeled “CAUSTIC.” It’s actually a very basic solution that, to bacteria, is like napalm. Actually, it’s a lot like napalm to people, too.

Spent grain is all that remains when the mash bin is emptied.

“It hurts a lot, all the time. It’s super, uh, burn-y. Yeah,” Moorman comments. Next time you down a craft pint, pour a little out for all the skin you never knew brewer’s were losing for the cause.

So yes, on the one hand, brewers do get to drink at work and they get to leave, some days, in the early afternoon. But many of their days also start way before nine, and some days end long after five, with a lot of steam and chemical burns in between. The work isn’t easy, but the payoff is something everyone gets to enjoy. Though the brewery team’s job technically never ends, once the beer is in the keg, the responsibility to get it into the hands of consumers falls to Tow Yard’s head of marketing, Jim Siegel.

Jim Siegel has, arguably, one of the toughest jobs in brewing. Sure, he’s not at risk of burning off some skin with a sanitizer spill, but he has to find a way to bust through the noise of the exploding brewing market and make an impression on buyers.

“The tap markers, they’re like real estate. There’s only so many tap markers in the city, so how do you get a foothold on some real estate?” he says. That was the question facing Tow Yard five months ago when the brewery opened its doors. Even as more bars open and more beer festivals are created to meet the demand, small breweries still have to compete with national mega-brands like

Budweiser and Guinness. Unless, that is, you brew the perfect complementary beer to blend with a major brand.

“Nine Irish Brothers, they’re mixing Goldie Hops with Guinness and they’re calling it a ‘Black and Gold’ because they’re from Lafayette,” he says.

When I ask him about the boom in Indianapolis craft breweries, he gives me some perspective on the market as a whole.

“We still have fewer breweries per thousand than many other cities.” What looks like a boom to us is merely a product of the growth in such a small window of time. In 2012, Indiana had only 4.2 breweries per 500,000 residents. By contrast, Oregon had 18.3 per 500,000 residents. Though it certainly feels like the market is crowding with competitors, there is actually quite a lot of room for continued growth.

“In a market like this, I think there’s definitely room for everybody. There’s so many great beers and so many creative people making really awesome beer.”

Siegel is helping further that growth by thinking a little bit outside the normal confines of how craft beer is usually served and consumed. By creating beers that have more flexible applications, he hopes to broaden the exposure of Tow Yard to bar patrons.

“Something that’s unique for us is we are starting to see a lot of the bars and restaurants using our beer and mixing it with vodka or gin, so it’s like a beer

cocktail,” Siegel says. “And that opens for us a whole new segment in mixology.” For both bars and restaurants, using craft beer in their cocktails makes as much business sense as is it does for great taste.

“For bars and restaurants, they want to maximize their dollars. If they can put a shot of vodka in our beer and charge ten dollars for it as a cocktail, that’s a win for everyone.”

And when asked whether he loses sleep over the growing market, Siegel sees it less as a reason to be worried and more as a change to look forward to. In fact, he’s confident that competition would only serve to grow his brand.

“It’s like any business: you have to provide a good product or service.

If you don’t make quality beer, you are not going to survive.” Seigel’s confident in the quality of his product, and hopes the market continues to grow in order to wring out the lower quality beers. For Tow Yard, he sees the growing market as just another boon to their business, and predicts that Downtown Indy is poised to become a destination and touring spot for craft lovers nationwide.

“What I think it does for us, being located where we are, is it gives people who come downtown to all the breweries a really fun experience instead of just going to one or two.”

Creating an open channel of exposure to potential customers, bloggers and insiders is key to Siegel’s plan, because in beer, all buzz is good buzz. And good thing, too, because it’s part of Weber Grill’s Jose Suarez’s plan to get the best beer in his taps.

Jose Suarez, beverage manager at Weber Grill, is in charge of divvying up that tap real estate, and, as part of a nationally branded business, he has to keep some of his beers consistent so Bud Light Guy can always get a Bud Light at any Weber in the world. But Suarez also knows that the beer consumer is getting smarter, more educated, and wants more than just a pint of 312 or Blue Moon to call “craft.” And because, like most bar managers, he has to keep Budweiser and a couple other national brands, the space for small breweries to make it into the tap is narrowed even

further. So how does a small brewery catch the attention of a guy like Suarez?

By making good beer and getting their name out there, plain and simple.

“I do a lot of research. That involves going out and getting to know the community, what exactly is out there,” Suarez says about the process of choosing beer for his taps. He’s been in Indy about two years, having moved from Chicago. He called Indy’s beer scene a “great surprise” upon moving.

“As far as deciding what comes on tap and what we feature, that’s something that I listen to our guests about,” he said. Not only do the guests have to like it, but it has to be a beer servers can sell well to the guest, as beer pairings and recommendations are an established part of the Weber’s menu.

“We’re fortunate to have so much out there to choose from. We try to keep it fresh and switch it up—not too often though. Just enough so that our regular guests can still come and look forward to something,” he says. That’s another factor in the balance bar managers have to consider: how to keep their selection new without pissing off any regulars—the bread-and-butter of bars and restaurants.

“You’re always going to have the call for Budweiser and Coors Light. People come in from all across the country all across the world and they have dif-

ferent tastes. And they do have that brand recognition that people will gravitate to. But there’s also people who appreciate trying something new.” It’s those people for whom Suarez stays on top of the craft brewing scene and rotates his taps. After all, craft brewers are not spending too much time trying to convert the

Coors drinker, but most try to brew something accessible in case Coors Guy ever decides that maybe he’ll be a Sun King guy. In other words, managers like Suarez have to come at it like they’re buying beer for a party where they don’t know who’s coming.

“This is what we consider our backyard,” Suarez says of the restaurant. “We

are grilling out for our guests and we want them to relax. And we treat out bar program the same way.”

Ultimately, it’s the social nature of beer that seeps into every aspect of the business, from production to consumption. People who like beer inevitably like to talk about good beer, and word travels from the brew deck, to the festival, to the restaurant. Suarez’s research online delves into blogs, social media, and everything in between, searching for the brand that’s getting good buzz. It also means he has to visit breweries and meet the people making the beer, making time to talk to brewers about their products and processes. And the cycle begins again. n

A BRIEF HISTORY OF

BEER IN INDIANA A

By Rita Kohn • rkohn@nuvo.net

IMMIGRANTS TO INNOVATORS

rtisan beer came to the “new world” with people seeking new territory. Beer was a safe beverage — water was often contaminated by sewage and other toxins. Early settlers coming before the creation of the Indiana Territory brought with them their traditions and tastes as they brewed at forts and outposts, and brewers adapted to local ingredients.

They also brought seeds for grains and expertise in milling. Bread and beer comingled at the sites of gristmills.

Two breweries functioned at Indiana’s Statehood in 1816.

Richmond, settled in 1805, provided a tavern for travelers along the National Road. British Brewer Ezra Boswell arrived in 1816 to establish a brewery, which he continued until his death in 1831, notes Bob Ostrander in Hoosier Beer [History Press, 2011]. 1912

20 COVER STORY // 09.24.14 - 10.01.14 // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO

saw the end of Richmond’s brewing legacy, along with its thriving bottling works. Almost a century later, on St. Patrick’s Day, 2010, Rodrick and Kiera Landess launched New Boswell Brewing Company. Their recently opened taproom echoes the English pub tradition.

Rappites in 1814 established their Utopian community with the name “New Harmony.” Eschewing Kentucky Common, the brew extant along the Ohio River, German brewer/cooper George Bentel made Bavarian-style brews. When the Harmonists returned to Western Pennsylvania in 1825, Bentel left with them. Dan Valas, who founded Aurora-based Great Crescent Brewing Company in 2008, now brews Bentel’s original Dark Lager recipe as an Indiana Artisan product. In 2008 Great Crescent

re-invigorated Aurora’s 1858-1899 Crescent Brewery legacy.

J. and William L. Coleman established a brewery in 1818 in Vincennes, Indiana’s first capital. It closed in the Panic of 1819, America’s first economic disaster during peacetime. Breweries in Vincennes ceased production in 1930.

Today, Evansville-based Turoni’s, Carson’s and Tin Man breweries serve the Vincennes area.

Between Indiana’s 1816 Statehood and the approaching 2016 Bicentennial, Indiana’s brewing story brims with world acclaim, demise and resurrection.

Just about every town and city boasted a brewery loyally supported by the local community. Gaining national and international attention in Fort Wayne were Falstaff (producers of a “Light Beer”

before Bud and Miller), Ballantine and Berghoff; Drewery’s in South Bend; Champagne Velvet in Terre Haute; Indiana Brewing Association in Marion.

Indianapolis Brewing Co. took Gold Medals at the 1900 Paris Exposition, 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair and in Liege, Belgium in 1905, Milan in 1906 and Madrid in 1907. American Brewing Co. sponsored the ABC’s Negro League Baseball team, winner of the Colored World Championship in 1916.

Indiana’s bustling pre-Prohibition beer culture included hops farms, wheat growers, and malting and bottling operations. Prohibition and postProhibition marked a dry spell. Small breweries gave up against the new order of mega-breweries with huge advertising budgets. The culture of fullflavor, fresh and local beer gave way to bland, fizzy and pale macro-brews. But some Hoosiers remembered traditional quality beers and those people surfaced as homebrewers, bringing back a spectrum of balanced, hearty ales and lagers without fillers like corn and rice.

Additionally, they paid close attention to the quality of local water to foster a style. West Lafayette librarian/homebrewer Bill Friday rallied homebrewers throughout Indiana, encouraging them to re-create the quality beers that had all but vanished. Winemaker Joan Easley established Indianapolis’ first

homebrew supply shop.

When John Hill transformed an auto shop into a traditional English pub in 1990, Indiana was roughly two decades behind the national push toward craft brewing. Yet Broad Ripple Brewpub set the standard for growing a neighborhood brewery that offered consistent quality. Hill fostered a “destination place” for artisanal beer paired with quality food. The brewpub model continued with Mishawaka and Lafayette in SEE, HISTORY, ON PAGE 22

s part of NUVO’s big Beer Issue, we wanted the Hoosier State to weigh in on its ales and lagers, wits and porters. So we decided to comb the state for 64 brewers to compete in our Great Indiana Beer Bracket.

From these 64, we’ll crown ONE Gran’ Champeen brewer. You’ll help.

In fact, it’s ALL on you, O Wise NUVO Reader. You vote. You taste. You decide.

Here’s how it works: you’ll vote for your favorite brewers in head-to-head matchups at NUVO.net. We’ll pare it down to 32 brewers by Oct. 3, 16 come Oct. 10, eight on Oct. 17 and reveal the Final Four on Oct. 24. You’ll be able to vote ONCE each round.

The Final Four will be invited to a blind taste-test event with the Brew Bracket guys. Join us Nov. 1 at Chumley’s from 2-5 p.m. for the big finish. We’ll ask each brewer to bring a flight of beer in different styles.

We’ll have multiple style winners and a Grand Champion.

After much garment-rending and gnashing of teeth, the selection committee — a couple of tipsy NUVO Editors, Mike Sale from Brew Bracket, many columns from Rita Kohn and two Belgian monks (OK, we made that last part up) — have compiled the bracket here. We know Rock Bottom, RAM and some other nationally-owned chains are missing — we wanted to make this contest truly Indiana-centric.

We seeded as democratically as possible: we used the alphabet! This is why our pals at Bier and Triton have to slug it out early on.

BEER AND FOOD PAIRINGS

I

B Y JO L EN E K ETZEN BERG ER ED I T O R S @ N U V O . N E T

t’s not just for pizza anymore. When it comes to food pairings, beer is gaining respect as a versatile food-friendly beverage.

Craft beer fans may have known this all along, but in the last five years, claims food site Epicurious.com, there’s been a change in perspective among those in the restaurant biz as well.

“Beer has made it onto the menu as more than an afterthought,” Epicurous.com’s former executive editor, James Oliver Cury, says on the site.

“Beverage directors, chefs and even wine lovers have learned that beer has an amazing capacity to pair with all kinds of foods.”

And you’ll definitely find a growing list of craft beer options available on local menus. In fact, some lists can be a bit overwhelming — which begs the question: how in the world do you decide on what to drink with dinner?

Now, just as with wine, I’m all for just drinking what you like. You want a Chardonnay with that steak? OK, then.

Skip the Cab and go for it. And likewise, if you just want your fizzy lager and don’t care that the carbonation is going to amp up the heat on those hot wings, then by all means order it.

But if you want to see what the right beer can do for food, then take a little time and choose a brew that will play up or play off of what you’re having for dinner.

“You can approach it from a complement/contrast approach,” said Brennan Corder, director of beverage education and training at Crown Liquors in Indianapolis. “It’s all about how you enjoy the mixture of the flavor and aromatic profiles of the food/beverage combination.”

So what does that mean when it comes to dinner choices? Let’s say you want a burger and fries or maybe even something slow-smoked, like brisket. You can go big or go light — complement or contrast.

“I love to complement a burger or brisket with a weighty full-flavored beer sometimes,” said Corder. “I would recom-

For a contrasting approach, choose something that is lighter on the palate, like a rustic Saison or Biere de Garde with a spicy backdrop, particularly if you have fresh spinach or arugula as a garnish.”

Complement or contrast, it’s your call So coming up with a great beer-food pairing means paying attention to the flavors of the beer as well as of the food. But hop heads take note: your super-bitter IPA doesn’t always play well with food.

“If the beer has a lot of hop flavor and aroma, but not a lot of bitterness, it is easier to pair with food,” said Ron Smith, local beer educator, master’s level judge and certified cicerone. “Play off the herbal, citrusy, spicy flavors and aromas to find harmony with spicy (but not hot) foods, like Thai and Indian dishes, chili, etc.

English-style IPAs and some of the new Session IPAs are good for this. If the beer is really bitter, though, it gets harder to pair.”

Arthur Black, corporate wine and sales manager at RNDC and a certified beer server, suggested a simple pairing for a hoppy IPA. “Olives,” he said.

“I spent time thinking about pairings of moderate to excessively hopped beers and came up with a number of things… blah, blah, blah, and all the while I was nibbling on olives and drinking an IPA. It was the most simple pairing and the most delightful.”

One local chef opts for sweets when pairing food with a big hoppy beer. Erin Kem, executive chef at R bistro, turns to caramel, toffee and chocolate.

“To me, it’s similar to the way a wine with a lot of tannins cuts through a fatty, rich piece of meat,” said Kem. “The hoppiness and crispness and, at times, bitterness cut through the sweetness for me for a perfect balance. The bitterness of black coffee does the same thing to my mouth when I eat chocolate, and it makes the ‘sweet’ pleasantly not so.”

Want a few more suggestions for pairing local fare with craft beer? We challenged Indy beer aficionados to share a few ideas.

CARI CROWE, Certified Cicerone: “Spicy food: Stay away from hoppy beers unless you want your mouth on fire! Also, lagers aren’t great with them because the carbonation is generally higher and may intensify the heat. You want something soft, creamy, and malty to take the fire down a notch. Any dark beer on nitro would be a perfect match: I recommend Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout, Oskar Blues Nitro Old Chub Scotch Ale or Guinness Draught.”

“Burger and fries screams a nice India Pale Ale or an American Brown Ale, depending on how much malt and hoppiness you want. I love pairing hoppy beers with robust food like grilled meats, mostly because they both have bold flavors that complement each other.

I recommend Bell’s Two Hearted or Schlafly India Brown Ale.” “Pasta with red sauce: Since this is a more acidic dish, I’d steer away from really hoppy beers or sours. Kolschs are an underrated lighter style beer that I don’t think get enough credit. They are ales cold conditioned like a lager, so it has the fruitiness that would complement the herbs in the sauce, but with a crisp clean finish. A Belgian witbier would also compliment this dish, especially the yeastiness in the beer with the

PAIRINGS , FROM PAGE 26 IPA. “The ginger tames the hop while the chocolate enhances it,” said Brilliant. “I use a lot of ginger in the cream, and it makes for a beautiful sweet treat.”

And while stouts may be the most common pairing for sweets, Cari Crowe, certified cicerone with Plow & Anchor, also prefers a contrast.

“I like to have beers like sours or Imperial/Double IPAs with dessert instead of your standard stout,” she said.

“Because you’ve already had a big meal, and you’re having a rich dessert, you want something to cut through and aid in digestion. Both styles of beer have a good bit of acid to them. Just think of it as if you were having limoncello after dinner.”

Crowe prefers to pair that stout with beef stew or even red beans and rice.

pasta. Daredevil makes a great seasonal Kolsch called Vacation, but my favorite is Reissdorf from Cologne, Germany.

Upland has one of the best Belgian Wheat beers out there.”

JASON LEE, @IndyBrewChef “I love pairing King David Dogs with Sun King Indians Lager. Both of these items remind me of summer and baseball.

The slight spiciness of the hot dog and the sweetness of the bun pairs well with the malty lager. It’s cliché, but amazing.”

“I think the moules frites at Brugge pairs amazingly with their Tripel de Ripple. The sweet citrus undertones in the beer pairs well with the sweet mussels. I usually go for the Belgian Classic mussels. The slightly salty frites also go great with the sweetness of the Tripel.

I’m a sucker for sweet and salty.”

“I think the soft shell crab curry at Siam Square pairs really well with Rail Splitter IPA from Triton Brewing. Curry dishes have been a paired with IPAs for a while and this pairing doesn’t disappoint at all.

The sweet crab and the spicy broth is balanced out nicely by the strong hop flavor of the beer. The malty backbone of the beer also covers some of the heat in the curry.”

the beer,” she said, “and even if it is a sweeter stout, the flavors that are usually in stock will balance out nicely. I even make my red beans and rice with a half cup of porter or stout.”

For Crowe, IPAs are the perfect accompaniment to rich dishes like lamb, duck or blue cheese. “These foods have stronger flavors and tend to be a little fattier,” she said. “The acidity in the IPA will cut through it nicely and balance the flavors out.”

Two art galleries — one classical, the other sporty — in one of the oldest buildings in town

B Y SCO TT SH O G E R SSHOGER@NU VO . N ET

he oldest building in the Monument Circle district and “possibly the oldest commercial building in the city,” according to a city planning document, will reopen to the public Friday following a two-year restoration. The new occupants at 42 E. Washington, which was built circa 1852 to house a drugstore? Two complementary art galleries.

On the ground floor is Gallery FortyTwo, devoted to what co-owner Curt Hunter calls “classical, figurative art,” with an emphasis on sculpture. Upstairs is Second Floor: Art and Entertainment, a gallery/event space featuring sports or entertainment-themed contemporary art and fully-equipped with a bar, projector and screen, and other essential party infrastructure.

Curt Hunter The Hunter family — parents Jim and Linda, sons Curt and Nick — co-own the galleries and have been behind the restoration of the building, which included removing a portion of the second floor so that it might overlook the first like a mezzanine and creating a new facade. It’s striking to look at photos of the building prior to restoration, running in a loop on a video screen on the second floor.

The building had been “stabilized” by its previous owner but remained in disrepair, with bare brick walls and ominous puddles. The Hunters ran into “structural” concerns in the early stages of restoration and were forced to remove the fifth floor (the extant third floor is used for storage while the fourth remains unfinished). The end result: a bright space with plenty of wood flooring and paneling, wrought iron fixtures (including two prominent chandeliers) and some hints of the building’s pedigree such as exposed brick.

The “featured piece” on the first floor, according to Curt, is a scaled model in cast marble of Frederick Hart’s “Ex-Nihilo,” a sculpture Hart designed for the Washington National Cathedral.

There’s also a corner devoted to Salvador Dali, including his 1974 bronze sculpture “Christ of Saint John of the Cross.” Why has Gallery Forty-Two chosen to focus on sculpture? Curt says buying decisions are largely informed by personal taste of family members. His parents are interested in sculpture; thus the gallery offers an abundance of sculpture. And by playing to their interests, they’re also meeting a need that isn’t met by other area galleries, which focus on wall art.

Up on the second floor, the “featured artist” is the Chicago-based Boban Ilic, who uses stainless steel silverware

to create sculptures of sports figures, including Michael Jordan. You may recall a kerfuffle last December when local sports fans found out that the Jordan piece would be installed. Our own David Hoppe asked, incredulously, “Michael Jordan? On permanent display in downtown Indianapolis?”

Jordan does have pride of place on the second floor, overlooking the first on the mezzanine-style deck, but the 57-inch sculpture doesn’t overwhelm the space. Curt adds that the family plans to regularly rotate works in and out of the gallery, and, thus, the Jordan sculpture isn’t a permanent fixture.

For Curt, the first and second floor may be “kind of different worlds,” but the aim is to “blend the two. A lot of people don’t view art with sports and entertainment as being fine art, so our challenge is to break that mold.” And what’s more, he hopes the “aesthetics and ambiance of the building can be viewed as a piece of art in itself.” n

Compton named Skip McKinney Fellow The Indianapolis Art Center announced Friday that ceramics faculty and studio head Tim Compton has been named the fourth Skip McKinney Faculty of the Year Fellow. The fellowship, created in honor of Arlene “Skip” McKinney — an Art Center student, community leader and Mom to NUVO publisher Kevin McKinney — “is one of the largest awards of its kind in the country for an individual artist,” according to an Art Center press release. As part of the $20,000 fellowship, Compton will present a solo exhibition at the Art Center in fall 2015.

Compton beat out four finalists for the position; the runners-up will each receive $1,000. He graduated from Ball State in 2011 and has worked at the Indianapolis Art Center since 2010, in addition to holding teaching positions at the Herron School of Art and Design and BSU. “Art can be intimidating, but the sense of community I strive for in my classes removes much of the fear for new artists,” Compton said in the press release. “Without the laughing and conversation that takes place between lessons, we wouldn’t be able to take the average person off the street and convince them that they can be an artist too.”

The award was created by the Robert H. McKinney Family Endowment, a fund of the Central Indiana Community Foundation. The winner was selected by members of the McKinney family following interviews with the finalists. It’s given to a faculty member who “exhibits excellence in his/her art, excellence in teaching and focuses on building community through art.” The three other finalists for the fellowship were Dan Helrigel, digital arts and photography instructor; Ben Johnson, glass arts instructor; and Kimberly Conrad, jewelry and metalsmithing instructor.

PROHIBITION AT THE STATE MUSEUM REVIEWS American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition w Sept. 19-Feb. 15. The Indiana State Museum’s engaging, interactive exhibit on Prohibition invites conversation on a number of topics, both while you’re there and after you get home. What propelled the American Temperance movement? Did anything of value result from Prohibition? How does alcohol consumption affect each of us on a personal level?

Whose responsibility is it to ensure responsible consumption?

Exploring in depth one of the most hotly debated issues in American history, this exhibit can’t be rushed through. When you go, plan to spend at least two hours. Drinking behavior changed drastically with the onslaught of the Industrial Revolution. Migrating from farm to city challenged most people who found it hard to adjust to the harsh realities of urban poverty.

They drank to cope with and escape from what they considered dehumanization as factory workers. While the situation warranted concern, moralists attacked and admonished the workers but did little to mitigate the circumstances created by industrialists paying low wages and demanding long hours.

You’ll have the opportunity to experience a reenacted sermon by evangelist Billy Sunday, work up some sweat doing The Charleston, engage in a Coast Guard rumrunner operation, marvel at the ingenuity of discreet whiskey flasks and food products spin-offs, and get to see artifacts and mementos not otherwise accessible.

The Moon Among the Stars, storytelling

by Charlie Chin w Sept. 20. Charlie Chin specializes in the “teahouse style” of classical Chinese storytelling, which involves nesting stories within stories like a Russian doll. Both Chin and his style were new — and delightful — to me. Wearing black pants, soft black slippers, and a long, black Chinese shirt with long white sleeves peeking out from the cuffs, he entered the stage calmly and began telling deliberately — no chit chat. His words were elegant yet filled with humor, wisdom, and life.

Although he incorporated authentically pronounced Chinese names into his stories, he didn’t speak with a Chinese accent. He is originally from New York and now lives in the San Francisco area.

In addition to skillfully using the usual storytelling tools of voice, face, and body, Chin used a large, golden fan in myriad ways to emphasize dramatic moments, to indicate transitions and, most fascinating, to portray a huge variety of characters. A flick of Chin’s fingers and the fan became an elderly woman’s cane, a pot of money, a teapot, a gambler’s winning hand, a bowl of food, the rising sun and more.

Chin told of a great emperor, Kublai Kahn, inviting an esteemed scholar to his court to mentor his three sons and help determine which should become the next emperor. That was the frame story for the night.

Within that story, the scholar told stories to teach

— RITA KOHN Indiana State Museum the three sons about life. Within those stories, other characters told stories, too. A wife told a story to relax her worried husband, for example, so that he could fall asleep. A storyteller in the marketplace told stories to entertain the shoppers. When one of the shoppers’ sons disappeared, the storyteller gave her advice on how to find them.

The story nesting was not just about different purposes in telling nor just about plots within plots. It also involved repeated references to story elements such as characters (death, for example), themes (wisdom), items (blue cloth), occupations (herbalists), geography and more. This echoing technique might have been confusing but instead it was a delicate pleasure.

The stories after the intermission were in response to the emperor’s sons asking the scholar for marriage advice. By the end of the evening I was getting a little tired of the old-fashioned generalizations about men and women but I still admired the storyteller’s comic timing in presenting them.

I loved the way Chin ended the evening. He said something like: And now you have learned a lot. If you didn’t learn a lot, at least you learned a little. If you didn’t learn a little, at least you didn’t get sick. If you did get sick, at least you didn’t die. Let us be grateful.

The thug looks bug-eyed at Washington’s character, chokes out the words, “Who ARE you?” and, in a deep voice, Washington’s character hisses, “I’m Batman.”

OK, that didn’t happen, but it should have. Instead of Batman, Washington plays a fellow known as the Equalizer.

The Equalizer was a TV series that ran from 1984 — 1989 about an a retired C.I.A. type who helps people in trouble.

The man didn’t wear a costume, but he certainly wasn’t averse to violence.

Why has a 30-year-old crime-action series been adapted for the big screen?

That didn’t work out, but the next year it was announced that Washington was taking the role with Antoine Fuqua directing. The last time the two paired up was for Training Day in 2001.

Washington won an Oscar for his work as a psycho cop in the crime-action movie.

Boyhood w Filmed over 12 years by Richard Linklater, about three days at a time per year, this fictional feature tells the story, from age six to 18, of dreamy but well-adjusted Texas kid Mason (Ellar Coltrane). There are precedents to the project in the documentary world, notably the Up series, which has followed the lives of fourteen British subjects since 1965, starting when they were seven years old. Like other Linklater films, Boyhood is sunny and optimistic but not without its rocky moments; driven by dialogue that’s often funny and insightful but always natural; and it hits specific cultural and geographical touchstones without neglecting the universal potential of its story (think of how Dazed and Confused worked even if you didn’t share in Linklater’s nostalgia for the ‘70s).

Anyhoo, the all-star gimmick is interesting for a few minutes, but the toned down action is not so hot, the screenplay is weak and the overstuffed movie drags in spots.

PG-13, in wide release Get On Up r In Get On Up, Chadwick Boseman, who played Jackie Robinson in 42, successfully conveys a sense of James Brown’s legendary performances. And his acting is solid as well — he does as much with Brown as the script allows. Viewers are offered a choppy portrait of a great performer and a deeply flawed man. He’s shown at times in human form. An argument over time signatures with Maceo Parker (Craig Robinson) is illuminating, and Brown’s conversations with promoter Ben Bart (Dan Aykroyd) suggest a genuine relationship of trust. But on the whole, Get On Up is about an obsessive, tyrannical, abusive, self-absorbed holy terror who created a dazzling stage show packed with funk and soul.

while staring intently into the man’s eyes with his head cocked like a curious pup. Csokas makes a juicy villain worthy of our wise, nutty hero. Bill Pullman and Melissa Leo pop up as old colleagues of McCall. Nice to see them. For the most part, Antoine Fuqua makes the story seem to matter, aided by the attractive cinematography of Mauro Fiore.

It is possible that you will become annoyed at Robert McCall’s ability to anticipate the movements of others even more efficiently than Macaulay Culkin did in Home Alone (not Home Depot). If that occurs, just remind yourself — quietly, but with assurance, “It’s all right.

Guardians of the Galaxy w Action-packed, funny and full of heart, Guardians of the Galaxy is a wild space adventure from Marvel Studios that, at various times, reminded me of Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Last Starfighter, The Fifth Element, Joss Whedon’s Firefly and Serenity, and more. Chris Pratt, as one of a group of rag-tag prisoners who learn to use their criminal skills to benefit for the greater good of the universe, sets the tone of the film. He’s spot-on as a Han Solo type, swaggering about and cracking wise, while radiating a sunniness that warms those in his sphere of influence.

For what it’s worth, the mission is to protect a prized witness (Olga Kurylenko) and — darn the luck — that puts Devereaux square in the sights of his former friend and protege (Luke Bracey). Don’t you just hate when that happens? It’s nice to see Brosnan in action, but don’t expect anything resembling originality here.

This is type-by-numbers filmmaking.

R, in wide release

PG-13, in wide release The Hundred Foot Journey r Comfort food. Helen Mirren runs a restaurant in France that earned a Michelin star. When the Kadam family, far from their homeland of India, experience a car breakdown near her place, Papa (Om Puri) decides to open a restaurant of his own in a building directly across the street. Sparks fly. Meanwhile, Papa’s son Hassan (Manish Dayal) is a gifted cook. Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) is an aspiring chef working at Mirren’s restaurant. You do the math. Lasse Halstrom’s feel-good film is charming, but terribly calculated and predictable. A little more dramatic tension would have helped. Trimming the end of the overly-long movie would have helped as well.

PG, in wide release Magic in the Moonlight t The product of a writer-director who isn’t trying hard enough. Why hire highly regarded actors if you’re not going to do anything with them? Why create a strikingly detailed world and populate it with only two realized characters (Colin Firth and Emma Stone, as a stage musician and clairvoyant, respectively). I was charmed by the scenery, the music and the notion that a Woody Allen surrogate could concede even the possibility that the supernatural might be real. The 1920s (yes, he goes there again) period details were impressive as well. But by the time I reached my car I’d pretty much forgotten the whole thing.

PG-13, in wide release My Old Lady r New Yorker Mathias Gold (Kevin Kline) inherits a Paris apartment from his dad, but when he arrives in France, he discovers 90-something Brit Mathilde Girard (Maggie Smith) and her icy daughter Chloe (Kristin Scott Thomas) living there — and due to the French law, he may be stuck with the arrangement. Kline is excellent as a failed playwright, multiple divorcee and recovering alcoholic.

Smith and Thomas are as good as always, though the screenplay forces Thomas to make a radical shift in her presentation style. The film is so-so. The actors, especially Kline, rise above the formulaic material.

PG-13, at Keystone Art The November Man u Pierce Brosnan plays retired CIA agent lured Peter Devereaux out of retirement for one last mission.

Honestly, they actually do the “one last mission” bit!

This is Where I Leave You

This is Where I Leave You t Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Jane Fonda and Adam Driver are a few family members drawn together following Dad’s death to spend a week at the old homestead.

Comedy and drama mix as they deal with relationships, unfinished emotional business, old loves … yes, it’s one of those movies. I like this genre, provided that the cast is good and the script isn’t too clunky.

This one isn’t memorable, but it works well-enough to squeak by (though the storyline with Timothy Olyphant as the brain-damaged — literally — ex-boyfriend of Tina Fey goes nowhere) and the cast is full of likeable performers. An agreeable disposa-movie.

R, in wide release Tusk t A loudmouthed host of a hit podcast (Justin Long) stumbles off to a spooky haunted house in the Canadian wilderness after reading an ad where the house’s owner (Michael Parks) offered free rent if his new roomie would dress up like a walrus. His co-host (Haley Joel Osment) and a French-Canadian detective (Johnny Depp) lead up the rescue effort. Parks is wonderful as the walrus-obsessed Howe. The role is juicy and he establishes and maintains the perfect tone. You’ll be amused, exasperated and drawn into a bizarre story that may make you tear up. Just don’t stay for the closing credits when director Kevin Smith treats the audience like a chump.

R, in wide release When the Game Stands Tall y Faith-based inspirational sports movie based loosely on a true story. Football coach Bob Ladouceur (Jim Caviezel) gained fame for leading the De La Salle High School Spartans to a 151-game winning streak over 12 seasons — a record breaker. The streak ends — a star player is shot to death, the coach suffers a heart attack, and many key players leave for college — and the challenge is to help the team to pick itself up and carry on. I’m a sucker for inspirational sports movies, but this one didn’t stand out. The game scenes are strong, but the other parts are trite. Michael Chiklis, Laura Dern and Clancy Brown costar. Chiklis is very good, far better than Caviezel, who is flat and uninteresting.

TRADE CASIO FOR A RHODES

Advance Base’s Owen Ashworth on tribute albums, label KILGORE TROUT MANIACS FROM THE 4TH DIMENSION IN THE ERA OF HOPEFUL MONSTERS I’m not sure what kind of music Kurt Vonnegut enjoyed, or if he even actively partook in the form.

But I’d like to think if he were still around to hear Indianapolis band Kilgore Trout, he’d appreciate the tribute.

The quartet takes its name from a fictional character who appeared in many of Vonnegut’s books. Their debut album, Maniacs from the 4th Dimension in the Era of Hopeful Monsters, also is a winking nod to the type of science fiction Vonnegut practically invented.

Kilgore Trout’s music is blues-steeped. The song “Zodiac Man” features torrid, extended turns by lead guitarist Johnny Ping that could be a sensory experience in a place like The Slippery Noodle, as notable a landmark in Indianapolis as Vonnegut is a character.

But there’s plenty of psychedelia and other touches to make Maniacs from the 4th Dimension stand out from tradition, including the acoustic-based “You Let Me Down” and the space-age honky-tonk of “Thought I Was An Outlook” featuring a rickety guitar solo that threatens any number of unexpected twists. Yes, just like a Vonnegut story.

“So It Goes” is an out-and-out homage to Vonnegut, lo-fi discordance that speaks to Vonnegut’s philosophies about our existence.

Just like its inspiration, though, the members of Kilgore Trout don’t take themselves too seriously.

That includes the album cover, featuring some of the best animation this side of Futurama.

“

feel like I’ve been personally anchored to a lot of hard times,” Owen Ashworth says, when I reach him by phone.

It’s my fault we started off on this sad note. I just had to tell Ashworth, who made music for 13 years as Casiotone for The Painfully Alone, that his records had meant a lot to lovesick college sophomore me. His response? Totally used to it.

That’s because, in his words, he “was trying to write songs about tough feelings, figuring out what kind of people people are going to be, the hard relationships they go through, the weird transitions.” That mindset led to songs like “I Love Creedence,” a two-minute tale of best friends grown apart after adulthood intrudes, and “New Year’s Kiss,” where the titular moment happens not “on a balcony with champagne lips/

but in a pantry against the pancake mix.”

Songs about riding a train, waiting for a plane, missing a bus become quietly devastating in Ashworth’s hands.

But the Chicago-based musician has set aside the Casiotone moniker and moved on to a new electric piano project, Advance Base. Advance Base isn’t entirely dissimilar to Ashworth’s previous releases as CFTPA, and not just because project shares a name with a low-key Casiotone release called Advance Base Battery Life. His tracks are still pleasantly intimate in sound and lyric, little vignettes sewn together with minimal, twinkling arrangements.

He dropped one full-length, 2012’s excellent A Shut-In’s Prayer, with that project – and has another in the works – and released a duo of EPs reworking the tracks from folk legend Washington Phillips and The Magnetic Fields.

He’ll play in Indy on Sunday with Mike Adams at His Honest Weight. Buddy Buddy, an improv comedy troupe, will open.

NUVO: In your opinion, removing lyrics, what qualities make your music read as “sad”?

OWEN ASHWORTH: The songs [of Casiotone] are for the most part about the worst time in my life.

The worst time in my life, the worst part in a lot of my friends’ lives.

Songs are, although not totally 100 percent diary-accurate, very much about [that]. This wasn’t nec-

essarily anything premeditated, but [the songs] are about the time in people’s lives when they are the most self-obsessed and figuring themselves out and having a really tough time. It also happens to be the time in life when people lean on music the most as an emotional crutch. When I was writing a lot of that Casiotone material, there was a lot of really heavy emotional material that was inspiring and influencing me. I was writing very much about that very heavy time that I think people hope to forget when they get older. Being that its myself, I didn’t have that perspective at the time. ...

I was trying to write songs about tough feelings, figuring out what kind of people people are going to be, the hard relationships they go through, the weird transitions.

NUVO: When you changed projects to Advance Base, did you discard material you had earmarked for future Casiotone releases? You changed names, changed from a Casio to a Rhodes piano. What else did you put away?

ASHWORTH: A lot of that music I just felt was kind of emotionally exhausting. I had the choice of either faking my way through it and not really committing to it but playing it because that’s the stuff people want to hear or... I was having a rough emotional time actually playing it, because it’s difficult music to get into at that time. There was a point where I was like, “This isn’t fun. I’m not enjoying playing a lot of these songs.”

It was all electronic music, and there was point where I had been touring so much that I had really damaged my hearing. I damaged my hearing making that music. And there were just particular frequencies in that music that were [causing] crazy, psychosomatic reactions. I was having a crazy emotional response just to certain tones, which sounds nuts. But the music was just making me angry. It was tough! There was a point where I was like, “I’ve just got to do something else.” I was touring a lot, and was hitting a point in my life where being away from home was a lot tougher. I needed a clean break. I needed to go home for a while, figure out what I wanted to do with music.

So I bought a Rhodes and started playing much quieter music and just kind of tried to slowly reintegrate music into my life, some fresh sounds. I started playing some of the old songs again; I’ll sit down to write and start playing something and realize I’ve already written that song. But hey, if it sounds good to me now, why not play it again? So I’ve got a few old songs that I’ve been playing in a new way again.

NUVO: Tell me about the Washington Phillips EP that you did. That was mastered by the same guy who mastered a posthumous reissue of his recordings.

How did that come about?

ASHWORTH: There’s a label called Mississippi Records in Portland. My brother Gordon [Ashworth] is pretty good friends with the guy who runs that label.

Gordon told me that I should check out this Washington Phillips record that they just put out, and I was totally mesmerized and obsessed by it. He was a Texas street preacher and a gospel music performer in the ‘30s, down near Austin, Tex. He invented his own instrument, a modified zither. And he made this music that did not sound like anything else I had heard before. Honestly, it came from heaven. It just sounds like harps, magical harps.

He’s a really great singer and songwriter, and there’s a lot of mystery surrounding him. So I got kind of obsessed with the whole mythology of him. Trying to figure out how to make his music, I, in the process taught myself a bunch of his songs. I liked the way they sounded on piano, so I decided I would try and record some. I think as a financial venture, covering gospel music from 80 years ago isn’t something that most young people are most excited to hear, but it was a really important thing that I wanted to document for myself. And he influenced my writing a great deal, and the way I play music.

NUVO: I just learned that “Jim Wise” on Mark Kozelek’s new Sun Kil Moon record Benji was your track. A Shut-In’s Prayer came out on his label, Caldo Verde, yes?

young, maybe 20, 21. I was working at a movie theater that he came to a lot, so we got friendly that way. We ended up on a few festivals together … and I sent him the last Casiotone album, and he sent me a really, really nice note, like, “I like this a lot more than I thought I would; this is great.”

Then, he wrote again and said, “Would you mind if I covered one of these songs?” I was not expecting that at all. It was a song called “Natural Light,” which was on the last Casiotone record. He offered to help me put out a record – I feel like it’s a real big brother/mentor kind of relationship.

He asked me if I wanted to write anything for his last record, and I happened to have this unfinished instrumental that I had been kicking around forever, didn’t really know what to do with. So I was like, “If you want this, you can have it.” He ended up making a really great song out of it. I just played piano on a couple of other songs, supported a couple shows for him.

NUVO: Tell me about your musical relationship with your brother Gordon. Your label Orindal Records will put out his latest, Misfortune, next month.

ASHWORTH: His music is really mystifying to me. We’ve done a lot of tours together, and I try to keep my questions to a minimum with what he does. It’s just like magic to me. I don’t get it, and that makes it really exciting. He makes tape music; he’ll have three or four 4-tracks running enormous tape loops between the machines. And it’s all based on source material and field recordings that he does and manipulates and turns into his own music.

We have a lot of music in common, he recommends a lot of music to me and I recommend a lot of music to him.

We have a lot of similar tastes, but it just comes out really different. … That new album, he basically used a hospital parking garage as a reverb tank. He would just blast music and record it from the other side of the garage. He’s a taxi driver, and he mostly works overnight, so he gets a lot of really strange field recordings, a lot of guerrilla recordings in the middle of the night in different areas in Portland. n NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // 09.24.14 - 10.01.14 // MUSIC 37

JAZZ FEST, FROM THE NOTEBOOK A look back at 10 dreamy days

T

en days of adventure at high sea and top speed is mild compared with Jazz Fest. It’s as much about a social and cultural whirl as it is about aesthetics. It’s meeting up with people you regularly see, making brand new connections and being amazed by surprises — such as the number of people who make a pilgrimage back to Indy just for Jazz Fest.

I dream up “what if’s”: such as, what if dancer/choreographer Jeffrey Page came back home to connect with Kenny Phelps and the Owl Music Group and Rob Dixon & the Indianapolis Jazz Collective? And they work together with our pool of amazingly fine local talent to create a national television show that could be every bit as WOW as Austin City Limits?

From my notebook: Sept. 11 The Indy Jazz Fest Band opened Jazz Fest 2014 and set the standard at The Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center at the University of Indianapolis. In a lovely convergence, both the DeHaan and the Jazz Kitchen are celebrating their 20th anniversary, and both extend the Jazz Fest immersion all year.

Sept. 12 at the Jazz Kitchen saxophonist Claire Daly demonstrated the consummate talent of a performer—she works the room, recognizing who is out there and brings them into her set to showcase their talents.

So we got to hear Valpo/Gary-based pianist Billy Foster and Cincinnati-based scat artist Napoleon Maddox. The Blue Note Tribute Band took the stage at 10 p.m. as a late night add-on and we were loathe to go home.

Sept. 18 at Apparatus, the old WFYI studio embraced the delightful composer/ saxophonist/vocalist Grace Kelly. Sophie Faught added zest with an interview of the equally youthful Grace.

Sept. 19 rivaled Vegas at Latitude 39.

Everyone showed up at high velocity. It was amazing.

Sept. 20’s Block Party cooled it down and pumped us up to support our rich home talent all year-round.

It’s been a journey of discovery. What is it that connects me with jazz? It’s a language with which I feel comfortable – together we’re caring about things of the heart and mind and gut. Jazz is a place I like to come to be in, with a mix of people who elevate the mundane and burnish the jewels of everyday life. Ultimately, it’s the dedication of the people who make it happen, the Indianapolis Jazz Foundation leadership, the talent, sponsors, partners and volunteers and the people who take the time, put out the money and attend. n

AURÉLIO AT LOTUS

hether he's holding political office, or touring internationally, Honduran musician Aurelio Martinez has devoted his life to promoting the culture of the Garifuna people.

Descendants of African slaves and indigenous Caribbean peoples, the Garifuna represent an oft-marginalized minority in Honduras, Guatemala and Belize.

The singer has the talent to become a major international star on the level of Gilberto Gil, or Youssou N'Dour. But with less than 200,000 Garifuna speakers worldwide, he may lack the necessary base to catapult him to that status. Aurelio remains undaunted in the face of that challenge, and he's set on winning as many new fans as possible and welcoming them into his "Garifuna Nation." Despite the linguistic obstacles Aurelio's interpretation of Garifuna music is irresistible, combining the best elements of West African and Latin American music traditions.

I caught up with Aurelio after his impassioned performance at Lotus Fest this weekend.

NUVO: Tell me about you new album Lándini.

AURÉLIO MARTINEZ: When you hear this album, it's like coming into my house and sitting down with my family. Almost everyday I would sit down and play music with my mom. My mom is a big mentor to me. This album was inspired by my mom and our relationship. My mom had a dream to be an artist, but my grandmother didn't like that idea and my mother could not fulfill her dream. When my mother sees me perform, and sees my success in music it completes her dream. So I did this album for her and her story.

NUVO: You sacrificed pursuing your musical career for several years to serve a term in the Honduran congress. What is your political legacy in Honduras?

MARTINEZ: I don't like the political life. But I wanted to create inclusion because we have a lot of discrimination in Honduras. I'm the first black man in the Honduran congress during the country's entire history. I tried to create inclusion for all the people who had faced discrimination. The rich people had representation in the government, but the indigenous, the blacks, the poor, and the farmers did not have representation.

mercializing Garifuna rhythms, like punta.

Do you think the commercialization of Garifuna music is a bad thing?

MARTINEZ: The culture doesn't have to remain static. You can have both the traditional thing, and the commercial thing.

But the problem for me is that many of these commercial bands use the Garifuna as tokens in their music. There's a black one in this band or that band, but we don't have commercials bands made of only black artists. People are making money off of Garifuna culture but our Garifuna people are living in poverty. I'm the first artist in Honduras to have a commercial band with all Garifuna musicians.

But I don't think it's bad thing that these popular bands are using Garifuna music. I invite all people to be a part of our Garifuna nation because we are losing our culture. UNESCO has declared the Garifuna culture as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, but that declaration is not enough. We need help to create schools to teach our culture to the younger generations. So I call to the United Nations and all people to help support this culture with us. n > > Kyle Long hosts a show on WFYI’s HD-2 channel on Wednesdays and Saturdays

Hold out for Nov. 13’s “From 1930s Blues and Jazz to Sophisticated 1940s Swing.” Admission includes two drink tickets and hors d’oeuvres.

The Propylaeum, 1410 N. Delaware St., $12, 21+ KARAOKE Karaoke Thursday 8 p.m. Hosted each week by OG Slim and Temica Key along with DJ Watts, Karaoke Thursday includes drink specials offered all night long and Thursday Night Football for those who can’t miss the games.

They keep up with almost 200 dates per year, but hopped in the studio (in this case, Wild Chorus Studio in Knoxville) to record whenever they weren’t out playing.

FRIDAY GUITAR Yonatan Gat, Warmholes, Chieftan 8 p.m. Yonatan Gat blasted through a megaset at Joyful Noise a few months ago. We can vouch that’s he’s epically excellent live. Recognize that name? It’s because he played guitar with Monotonix for years. He’s playing with Portuguese drummer Igor Domingues. Chieftan, another project from Dimitri Morris, is slightly more mysterious. He’ll be joined by Ryan Perkins (Chives) at this show; Warmholes will also play.

Joyful Noise Recordings, 1043 Virginia Ave., Ste. 207, pay what you want, all-ages LEGENDS Rosanne Cash 8 p.m. Indy’s been graced by two of the Cash / Carter extended family this week. First, Carlene Carter, the daughter of June Carter Cash and Carl Smith, stopped in at The Hi-Fi on Saturday.

This week, it’s Roseanne Cash, the daughter of Johnny and first wife Vivian Cash Distin. Her latest, The River and The Thread, is her first in almost five years, released on Blue Note. It’s been universally critically lauded and heralded as a more personal turn for the songwriter.

Clowes Memorial Hall, 4602 Sunset Ave., prices vary, all-ages POP PUNK Real Friends 7 p.m. We’re always jazzed when pop punkers Real

Friends make their way down to Indy from Chicago. And if you haven’t seen them, don’t fret – they just released their first full length (after five EPs), so they’re right in their groove. Don’t Call It A Comeback, Drop The Anchor and My Sweet Fall will open.

Irving Theater, 5505 E. Washington St., $15, all-ages POP Bishop Allen, The Bonesetters, Twinsmith 9 p.m. Brooklyn indie poppers Bishop Allen are back making the rounds with new album Lights Out, released last month. Here’s what went into it, according to the band’s (local) label Dead Oceans: “Ten years, three fulllengths, twelve EPs, thousands of shows, a move out of Brooklyn, a new home in the wooly wilds of Kingston, NY, time off to score the films Bully and Mutual Friends, as well as an Anderson Cooper 360 special, months of demos, drum tracking in a sweat-lodge attic studio during a July heat wave, a wet Fall arranging guitars, bass, and synths in a now-chilly attic studio, the coldest December on record spent mixing, a close call with a frozen pipe and flooded hard drives, and a photo found on a friend’s refrigerator.” The Bonesetters and Twinsmith will open.

Shooter Jennings 6 p.m. Country singer Shooter Jennings blends a sweet, sweet mix of country and a bit of psychedelia into rollicking country-bar-or-Warped-Tour ready rock. His 2009 effort, Black Ribbons, is the most interesting to us, a “dystopian rock opera” with dialogue written by Stephen King.

What?! He followed up with a few more albums (The Other Life, Family Man) and then matched Black Ribbons with a spoken word followup The Magic. (Oh, also, he’s Waylon Jennings’ kid.)

SOUNDCHECK RECORDS Cassette Store Day at LUNA 10 a.m. The little cousin to Record Store Day goes down on the other equinox. This one is all about the tapes, but it’s got some similarities to its April relative, too. There’s a sidewalk sale, a couple great reissues (Nat Russell, Birds of America), plus all sorts of releases from local tape labels and national cassette releases, too. Golden Moses will DJ, alongside the LUNA crew; Little Super will have wares for sale, too.

White Rabbit Cabaret, 1116 E. Prospect St., $5, 21+ COUNTRY Dierks Bentley 7 p.m. The time is nigh for a critical analysis of Dierks Bentley’s “Drunk On A Plane” and we’re here to deliver the goods. First, some questions. Who gets two weeks off for a honeymoon in Cancun? Why did he tape his ex’s picture up on the seatback? The stewardesses are drinking, too? Does alcohol have a more potent effect up in the clouds? Dierks, can you answer our questions at your show on Saturday at Klipsch? Chris Young, Chase Rice and Jon Pardi will open.

Michael Menert is a founding member of Pretty Lights, and currently runs a label called Pretty Lights Music, although he’s not currently associated with Pretty Lights, the touring act (that’s producer Derek Smith). They produced Taking Up Your Precious Time together in 2005, worked as a duo until a severe injury landed Menert in the hospital and had Smith taking off on his own under the Pretty Lights name. After some time off, Menert started touring under Pretty Lights Music label banner in 2010.

Austin Lucas 9 p.m. Hometown boy Austin Lucas returns to the motherland again for a show at The Hi-Fi. But he’s really loving his adopted hometown of Nashville, where he relocated about two years ago. Here’s what he said to us about it in January, “A lot of places that I’ve lived before - I’ve lived in San Francisco, I’ve lived in Portland and in Prague - there’s always stuff to do in those cities, sometimes so much so that it’s overwhelming. And Nashville can be like that as well, but there’s almost so much to do here that I feel like I can walk out of my door at any time and go see something. Even on Broadway, which is of course the focal point of music in Nashville, any time of day I can walk out of my door and drive down there and see somebody incredible playing. And it’s not just there, it’s all over the city.”

TUESDAY ROOTS The Wood Brothers 7 p.m. This Americanablues band wasn’t always a united front: Although brothers Oliver and Chris Wood both loved music, they pursued separate careers for well over a decade.

Eventually they realized they could combine their shared passion, and now they live and work in Nashville. They’ll be at the Vogue in September, and you’ll probably hear material from their most recent album, The Muse. The first things fans will notice when they pop in The Muse for the first time are undoubtedly Chris’s smooth bass, the interesting lyrics, and Oliver’s amazing voice. Fans of the band’s prior releases will not be disappointed. We’ve got an interview up on NUVO.net.

College Ave., $20 in advance, $22 at door, 21+ POP St. Lucia 8 p.m. This dreamy synth-pop band is lead by South Africa’s Jean-Philip Grobler, who has a background in classical singing. But he dropped the choir boy role and delved into ‘70s and ‘80s pop that he loved – like Fleetwood Mac, Peter Gabriel and Madonna. He’s touring 2013’s When The Night right now, and after selling out tons of shows across the US, will pop into Indy in September.

e’re back with our resident sex doctor, Dr. Debby Herbenick of Indiana University’s Kinsey Institute. To see even more, go to nuvo.net!

The Unnotched Bedpost I’m dating an awesome guy who I have a lot of fun with and find very attractive, but he’s much more sexually inexperienced than I am. I like to be dominated but he seems clueless about how to do that, he doesn’t enjoy giving cunnilingus, and admits that he’s not sure what he likes sexually. I suggested to him that he watch more porn to help him figure out what turns him on, but is there anything I can do to get him to be more sexually confident and aggressive?

— Anonymous, from Tumblr SARAH: The basis of sexual confidence is knowing, after repeated experimentations, that you can sexually satisfy a partner. The best thing you could do is take it on together, this whole “sexual exploration” thing, and realize that he’s going to be taking all his cues about what you like based on your verbal feedback, so give him plenty! Every time he shows even a modicum of interest in something that turns you on, let him know you think it’s hot. Also, you can watch porn as a couples activity — there’s no law on the books that it has to be a hunched-over shame solo on the skin flute. Whenever he does something you like or that turns you on, be vocal about it and vocally supportive of all his explorative efforts.

DR. D: I would be more in favor of you two experimenting together, rather than just sending him off to see what turns him on in porn. After all, what you two ultimately want to learn is what feels erotic when you’re together. Ideally, a true partner is a partner ­— someone with whom you can create sexually awesome experiences. A sex partner isn’t just a stand-in for fingers or a vibrator or a penis (not that you were suggesting this at all ­— you weren’t — but I want to put that out there for anyone reading this column).

So, my suggestion would be to do something like read erotic stories together (check out the great collections written by Rachel Kramer Bussell) or Best Sex Writing (there are annual editions). You might try reading them together out loud and seeing what turns him on and you on. You might even talk about why you feel something is particularly sexy (or a turn-off) to learn more about each other.

DR. DEBBY HERBENICK & SARAH MURRELL Good, I wrote about trying different sexual things together and then doing post-sex play by plays that give both people a chance to talk about what they loved, liked, or what you maybe want to do differently next time. My friend Kate McCombs, (an awesome sex educator) takes a similar approach in what she calls “Sex Labs”, which are dedicated times and spaces for people to explore; read more on her blog and, then, experiment and enjoy!

Ring Worry I use NuvaRing for my birth control. I recently attended a Pure Romance party for the heck of it, but now my husband and I really want to buy a toy. What toy materials and lubricant materials are 100% safe if they come into contact with a silicone ring inside of my vagina? I’d like to avoid terrible experiences.

— Anonymous, from Tumblr SARAH: Here’s a quick response from Dr. Kate at one of my favorite vagina-centric websites, gynotalk.com, about what is OK to have in there along with your NuvaRing: “1) A penis. Intercourse will not push the ring up into your pelvis, or to any place where you can’t retrieve it.

And semen/sperm will not diminish the ring’s effectiveness. 2) A vibrator or other toys. Same as above. 3) Tampons.” So there you go.

DR. D: I called the folks at NuvaRing and they told me that the ring is not made of silicone, so you don’t have to worry about silicone lubricant interacting with a silicone product inside your vagina.

Foot Foolery I’m learning about reflexology and heard from classmates there are places you can press on the foot to make a man get an erection or make people horny.

Is that true?

— Anonymous, from Tumblr SARAH: I’ve actually met a woman who claimed to be so adept at reflexology, she could make any man instantaneously ejaculate. If this were possible, all the massage locations featured just after this article in print would prominently advertise their reflexology

skills, and the woman I heard this claim from would be rolling a Bugatti to work and summering the Hamptons, and she ain’t. Of course, none of this isn’t to say that reflexology might have some incredible benefits in the bedroom by way of simply relaxing yourself (and it just feels really friggin’ good) but as far as being the key to instant orgasm, I invite you to join me in a call of “bullshit!”

DR. D: It’s not so simple. If it were, sex would be much more reflexive and less magical ( I happen to be a fan of the magic). Various reflexology websites note supposedly erotic areas of the feet. Some say it’s the fleshy area of the big toe. Others say it’s the ankle and still others point to different spots. I am not an expert in reflexology so someone who has true expertise in it may have more to say on the topic (and may also be able to

clear up the widely different information available on reflexology websites). All that said, there is some interesting science here which is that a nerve that provides sensory information about the feet enters the spinal cord at around the same level as a nerve that provides sensory information about the vagina. In rare cases, that information seems to be “confused” by the body and some people have orgasms just from walking or touching their feet. For the vast majority of human beings, however, that’s not the case. Foot stimulation is like anything else for most people — some people would enjoy the relaxation and sensuality of a foot massage and others would find it neutral, a little gross, or just not their thing. Should you pursue reflexology as a hobby or a career, you might ask people if they have any areas of their feet they would prefer you avoid. And, if you’re touching a partner’s feet, then the door is open for you to not only talk about areas to avoid but also areas of the feet, or ways of touching the feet, that they might find arousing or exciting.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s no secret. The wealthy one percent of the population has been getting progressively wealthier. Meanwhile, the poor are becoming steadily poorer. I’m worried there is a metaphorically similar trend in your life. Am I right? If so, please do all you can to reverse it. Borrow energy from the rich and abundant parts of your life so as to lift up the neglected and underendowed parts. Here’s one example of how you could proceed: For a while, be less concerned with people who think you’re a star, and give more attention to those who accept and love your shadow side.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “I choose a lazy person to do a hard job,” says Bill Gates, the world’s second-richest man, “because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.” That’s good counsel for you right now, Taurus. You’d be wise to get in touch with your inner lazy bum. Let the slacker within you uncover the least stressful way to accomplish your difficult task.

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, there is no need for you to suffer and strain as you deal with your dilemma.

Cancer

(1908-2004) was an influential French photographer, a pioneer of photojournalism who helped transform photography into an art form. In 1986 he was invited to Palermo, Sicily to accept a prize for his work.

The hotel he stayed in seemed oddly familiar to him, although he didn’t understand why. It was only later he discovered that the hotel had been the place at which his mother and father stayed on their honeymoon. It was where he was conceived. I foresee a comparable development on the horizon for you, Cancerian: a return to origins, perhaps inadvertent; an evocative encounter with your roots; a reunification with an influence that helped make you who you are today.

cian Ben Lee can play 15 notes per second on his violin. Superstar eater Pete Czerwinski needs just 34 seconds to devour a 12-inch pizza. When Jerry Miculek is holding his rifle, he can get off eight crack shots at four targets in a little more than one second. While upside-down, Aichi Ono is capable of doing 135 perfect head spins in a minute. I don’t expect you to be quite so lightning fast and utterly flawless as these people in the coming weeks, Leo, but I do think you will be unusually quick and skillful. For the foreseeable future, speed and efficiency are your specialties.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): As the makeup artist for the film Dallas Buyers Club, Robin Mathews had a daunting task. During the 23 days of shooting, she had to constantly transform lead actors Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto so that they appeared either deathly ill or relatively healthy. Sometimes she had to switch them back and forth five times a day. She was so skillful in accomplishing this feat that she won the Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling. Her budget? A meager $250. The film was a shoestring indie production. I’m naming her your inspirational role model for the next few weeks, Virgo. I believe that you, too, can create magic without a wealth of resources.

wrote Sylvia Plath in her poem “Three Women.”

That’s how I see you right now, Libra. You are teeming with the buoyant energy that throbs when a seed is ready to sprout. You have been biding your time, gathering the nourishment you need, waiting for the right circumstances to burst open with your new flavor. And now that nervous, hopeful, ecstatic moment is about to arrive. Be brave!

Aries

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The English verb “cicurate”

is defined as “to tame or domesticate” or “to make mild or innocuous.” But it once had an additional sense: “to reclaim from wildness.” It was derived from the Latin word cicurare, which meant “to bring back from madness, to draw out of the wilderness.” For your purposes, Scorpio, we will make cicurate your theme, but concentrate on these definitions: “to reclaim from wildness, to bring back from madness, to draw out of the wilderness.” In the coming weeks, you will be exploring rough, luxuriant areas of unknown territory. You will be wrangling with primitive, sometimes turbulent energy. I urge you to extract the raw vitality you find there, and harness it to serve your daily rhythm and your long-term goals.

Scorpio

Libra

Taurus

Aries

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “You can exert no

influence if you are not susceptible to influence,” said psychologist Carl Jung. Extrapolating from that idea, we can hypothesize that the more willing and able you are to be influenced, the greater your influence might be. Let’s make this your key theme in the coming weeks. It will be an excellent time to increase your clout, wield more authority, and claim more of a say in the creation of your shared environments. For best results, you should open your mind, be very receptive, and listen well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Congratulations, Capricorn. Your current dilemmas are more useful and interesting than any that you have had for a long time.

If you can even partially solve them, the changes you set in motion will improve your entire life, not just the circumstances they immediately affect. Of the several dividends you may reap, one of my favorites is this: You could liberate yourself from a messed-up kind of beauty and become available for a more soothing and delightful kind. Here’s another potential benefit: You may transform yourself in ways that will help you attract more useful and interesting dilemmas in the future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Alan Moore is the British author who wrote the graphic novels Watchmen and V for Vendetta. He is now nearing completion of Jerusalem, a novel he has been working on for six years. It will be more than a million words long, almost double the size of Tolstoy’s War and Peace, and 200,000 words bigger than the Bible. “Any editor worth their salt would tell me to cut two-thirds of this book,” Moore told the New Statesman, “but that’s not going to happen.”

Referring to the author of Moby Dick, Moore adds, “I doubt that Herman Melville had an editor. If he had, that editor would have told him to get rid of all that boring stuff about whaling: ‘Cut to the chase, Herman.’” Let’s make Moore and Melville your role models in the coming week, Aquarius. You have permission to sprawl, ramble, and expand. Do NOT cut to the chase.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): For a long time, an Illinois

writer named ArLynn Leiber Presser didn’t go out much. She had 325 friends on Facebook and was content to get her social needs met in the virtual realm. But then she embarked on a year-long project in which she sought face-to-face meetings with all of her online buddies. The experiment yielded sometimes complicated but mostly interesting results. It took her to 51 cities around the world. I suggest we make her your inspirational role model for the coming weeks, Pisces. In at least one way, it’s time for you to move out of your imagination and into the real world. You’re primed to turn fantasies into actions, dreams into practical pursuits.
