“Kansas City screwed up when …” The Labor
Day weekend Spirit Fest at Liberty Memorial was discontinued. Shout-out to all the local and regional bands that played — the Urge, Kill Creek, Paw, to name a few. Glad that Boulevardia is bringing back a similar experience.
“Kansas City needs …” A grab-and-go cold-
pressed juice place and a NYC-style bagel place.
“In five years, I’ll be …” Contributing to grow-
ing Kansas City’s startup community, growing companies and growing a family.
“I always laugh at …” All things Mindy Kaling and Schmidt from New Girl.
Filling Station, any juice from City Market Coffee House, vegan shakes from Café Gratitude.
Night Lights. And right now, Veep. So funny.

“I’ve been known to binge-watch …” Friday
— from Freight House to Kauffman Center on a busy First Friday evening in the spring.
reread The Lean Startup by Eric Ries, a must for any aspiring entrepreneur.
Finish this sentence: “Kansas City got it right when …” Union Station was renovated back in

1999. Great spot for both adults and children with Science City, IMAX, planetarium, Parisi, Pierpont’s, annual Maker Faire and, of course, Amtrak to catch the train.
Worst advice: As soon as you stop trying to meet someone, that’s when you’ll find your soul mate. My sidekick: John, my Techstars partner in crime and co-founder. Also, my lovely blue Prius with Thule bike rack.
My dating triumph/tragedy: I once went out with two Matts and a Mike on one Saturday.
My brush with fame: When I was studying film
production in college, I worked on the camera crew for a film starring Dave Matthews. Supercool dude. He played the dad in Where the Red Fern Grows, shot in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. And yes, I’m on IMDB. No big deal.
My 140-character soapbox: If you want to travel, don’t complain about not having the money or the time or the right people to go with you. Just do it. And enjoy every moment. What was the last thing you had to apologize for? I left my 3-year-old nephew on an escalator
at Crown Center and had to run up the down to get him. Sorry, B.
Who’s sorry now? Everyone on the escalator I pushed out of the way. My recent triumph: Moving 35 entrepreneurs
to Kansas City to help build their companies at the Sprint Accelerator powered by Techstars, and watching them present at demo day onstage at the Kauffman Center!

Fortunate son

It took the feds to come down on the Wyandotte County sheriff ’s son.
O
n June 16, an off-duty Kansas City, Kansas, police officer thought that he recognized someone at the Sprint retail store in Wyandotte County’s Village West development. The officer quickly verified his suspicion: He’d spotted a 35-year-old man with 13 outstanding arrest warrants. When on-duty police arrived to arrest the man, they found in his possession a loaded .38-caliber Grendel pistol and some methamphetamine. An agent with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was interested in this arrest. The man was Dustin Ash, a convicted felon — who had crossed state lines with a gun. Federal prosecutors charged Ash on June 18 with unlawful possession of a firearm. He remains in federal custody, a magistrate judge having determined that Ash was a flight risk. Those 13 active warrants signal a man with a habit of not showing up for court. More than a few law-enforcement types in Wyandotte County know Ash on sight. He has been booked into the Wyandotte County Detention Center 13 times since 2013 on charges including drug possession, auto theft and firearms violations, according to county records. Municipal-court records show that he was cited by police at least six other times between 2010 and 2013. For all his apparent transgressions, however, Ash seems to have avoided serious prosecution and jail time since 2010. In fact, Ash has appeared in Wyandotte County District Court only in civil cases. There’s no shortage of those on the books, either: eviction, divorce, tax warrants, restraining orders sought by two different women. It’s worth mentioning that his father is Wyandotte County Sheriff Don Ash, a former KCK police officer who was elected sheriff for the first time in 2009. In 2010, Dustin Ash was brought to municipal court in KCK on a domestic-battery charge. He was found guilty and sentenced to eight months of probation. That was the last time he was punished, but it was far from his last brush with the law. Ash’s arrest record since 2010 — the colorful list above plus telephone harassment and possession of stolen property — is conspicuous for its lack of serious court action. Several municipal charges since the 2010 conviction have been dismissed, either because city prosecutors declined prosecution or due to what court records list as “judicial discretion.” Ash has also been arrested over the years on charges that would have sent him not

Dustin Ash in a 2011 mug shot before a municipal judge but to Wyandotte County District Court. But he hasn’t been criminally prosecuted there, either. Police records show that Ash was arrested in KCK on April 7, 2013, possessing K-2, an outlawed synthetic version of marijuana, along with drug paraphernalia. He was not charged. He was arrested on June 26, 2014, for felony possession of a firearm and felony possession of stolen property. In that case, police had pulled over Ash and another man, Brian Knight, at 5100 Parallel Parkway, driving a stolen Honda Pilot. In the car was a .22-caliber Browning handgun. The case was referred to Jerome Gorman, the Wyandotte County District Attorney. His office declined to prosecute that case, the first with Ash’s name on it to reach Gorman’s desk in recent years. “Maybe a couple guys in a stolen vehicle blaming it on the other,” Gorman says. “Nobody could say, or would say, who stole it.” Ash hasn’t been as successful at avoiding prosecution in other jurisdictions. He was arrested on May 11, 2011, for fleeing a traffic stop and hitting a police car in Johnson County. For that, he served 181 days in the Johnson County Detention Center. And in 2000, Ash was charged in Platte County with second-degree robbery. He pleaded guilty and received a five-year prison sentence. (Predating this is a 1999 robbery charge in Wyandotte County, before his dad’s tenure.) Gorman says Sheriff Ash has never asked his office for leniency on behalf of the junior Ash. “Nothing like that has ever come across me,” he tells The Pitch. Through a spokeswoman, Sheriff Ash declined to answer questions.

Corporate subsidies in WyCo: going once, going twice …
T
here were deals, deals, deals to be had in the basement of Memorial Hall on Friday, June 19. Higgenbotham Auctioneers was handling the liquidation of a dead Kansas City, Kansas, restaurant called Backfire BBQ. The resulting auction wasn’t the usual drab inventory of tables, chairs, stoves and bar lights. Backfire was a motorcycle-themed restaurant built around the Orange County Choppers brand and brought to KCK by real-estate firm RED Development and the minds behind the T.
The UG auctions off some bad decisions. Rex Café and the Rainforest Café. So racecars and jukeboxes were on the block, along with dozens of vintage motorcycles and other theoretically valuable memorabilia. Backfire’s owners had spared little expense in decorating their biker-chic palace. And why should they have? They weren’t picking up the tab. Bidders at Memorial Hall who were paying close attention would have noticed that the seller wasn’t Backfire or a
title-holding bank. It was instead the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas. The restaurant equipment, the motorhead gear, the antiques — all of it was purchased for Backfire by Wyandotte County taxpayers, through STAR bonds. STAR (Sales Tax Revenue) bonds are economic-development tools used by Kansas municipalities to assist developers in financing commercial, entertainment and tourism projects. To crank up Backfire, the UG issued $3 million in STAR bonds, then essentially lent the proceeds to the restaurant’s backers so that they could deck out their spot in the Legends shopping area. “That was our contribution as an incentive,” Mike Taylor, the public relations director for the UG, tells The Pitch. “The rest was paid for with their [Backfire’s] private money.” The idea with STAR bonds is that they are repaid through state and local taxes generated by the project. But Backfire didn’t do so hot. Poor planning may have had something to do with it: Two competing barbecue restaurants — Arthur Bryant’s and Famous Dave’s — were already operating in or near the Legends when Backfire opened, in 2009. Three months after Backfire’s launch, the restaurant was slapped with nine critical violations by the Kansas Department of Agriculture. By the time The Pitch’s restaurant critic, Charles Ferruzza, reviewed it several months later — he called the food “visually embarrassing” and “utterly tasteless” and noted that diners taking a trip to the restroom walked past not one but two plastic depictions of the Statue of Liberty — the restaurant was reportedly having issues with employee retention, due to disorganized management. Local management company PB&J Restaurants took over day-to-day operations in 2011, but Backfire continued to sputter. It closed in 2013. So what happens when the UG bets $3 million on a business and then loses? What recourse is there for the taxpayers, the vast majority of whom had no idea that they were providing a corporate subsidy? None, really, except to take back as much of the stuff as possible that the county paid for and try to sell it off. Hence last Friday’s auction. Even by the standards of a desperate restaurant auction, the winning bids for Backfire’s inventory were breathtakingly low. Consider: Custom World War II German military motorcycle with sidecar UG purchase price: $18,155 Winning bid at auction: $3,500

But the Backfire auction generated just $174,000 in total revenue — about $2.8 million less than what the county, via STAR bonds, originally laid out. Taylor says the UG kept about 15 percent of Backfire’s inventory, mostly TVs and kitchen equipment, for its own use. “So $330,160 minus the 15 percent of stuff we kept, means something like $280,160 worth of stuff — based on the auctioneer’s appraisal — went into the auction,” he says. Even by that imprecise calculation, though, the UG came out more than a hundred grand behind. But Taylor argues that it’s inaccurate to characterize Backfire as a money loser for the UG. Because the Legends. “Despite the shortfall on this specific venture,” he says, “the overall Village West area is so successful, the STAR bonds will be paid off no later than 2017, which is four years ahead of schedule. And the area is generating around $11 million a year in property tax which didn’t exist.” He adds: “It is accurate to say the Backfire BBQ venture turned out to be unsuccessful and the UG did its best to recover as much as it could.” Dan Lowe, who was at the helm of RED Development during Backfire’s run at the Legends, told The Pitch that he didn’t know the answers to the bulk of our questions and that he would get back to us. By press time, he had not. The $174,000 will be placed in a charitable trust for the dozens of small-barbecuerestaurant owners in KCK who have never asked for and never received public subsidies for their businesses. Just kidding. It’s going into the UG’s general fund.

n May, some Kansas City artists traveled to one of the poorest, most homicide-stricken countries on Earth. With Karen Spring, of the Honduras Solidarity Network, they’d gone to meet activists working against what the CrossBorder Network for Justice & Solidarity calls “ruthless globalization” — the privatization of higher education and other social programs, the union-busting nationalization of Honduras’ power grid, the seizure of indigenous communities’ lands for corporate interests, the poor working conditions in factories. The artists’ documentation of their visit — which offers an Independence Day–appropriate commentary on the state of democracy — gets its first airing from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, July 3, at Vulpes Bastille (1737 Locust), in an event put on by KC+ Connect and the Cross Border Network. Eugenia Ortiz, who earned her MFA from the University of Kansas in 2011, makes what she calls “spiritually based” work that she says is intended to raise the vibration and energy of the viewer. Also on view are photographs by Stephen Holland-Wempe and illustrations by Tino Scalici; Scalici also performs spoken-word compositions in response to the 10-day trip. MOD Gallery (1809 McGee) is presenting the Kansas City debut of an artist known as Burn353, who specializes in skateboard graphics, album covers and clothing. Hailing from central Illinois, he has exhibited his graffiti and stencil art in New York, Los Angeles and Miami. A recent show in St. Louis was in partnership with KC’s Robert Tapley Bustamante (aka VisualSoul), and the two are collaborating again for Burn Your Soul, opening from 6 to 10 p.m. July 3. Expect raucous designs, lots of color and noteworthy graphic precision. Small works are for sale, along with T-shirts, stickers, buttons, prints and zines. MOD’s DJ this month

July’s First Friday boom
“Target 111” by Schwietert is Ray Velasquez, and the gallery’s usual First Friday “alley party” features VJ Surya and Rev Gusto. Hope for bright skies on First Friday, when Front/Space (217 West 18th Street) hosts an evening of solar-powered music. “Sollus : Haunter,” billed as “a transmutative encounter of vibratory biformities,” begins with Sollus (a trio composed of the Rev. William Ellis Bradley, J. Ashley Miller and Joey Watson) playing “a celestial séance” with “solaracoustic” instruments constructed by Bradley. After a break for a ceremonial meal, Kyle Arthur Miller, known as Haunter, performs “opaque oscillations” — that is, “droning melodies” — beginning at 9:30 p.m. There’s no formal cover, but the gallery suggests $5 from patrons to help cover travel costs. Leedy-Voulkos Art Center (2012 Baltimore) opens two new solo shows July 3, including one that confirms the ongoing industry of Douglas Schwietert. We Sell Memories, a sampling of his sculptural objects, assemblages and paintings, is on view in the back gallery. Also new this month are line drawings by Fernando Achucarro. The opening reception is from 6 to 9 p.m. The gallery is closed Saturday for Independence Day. If you like intricate illustrations of fantastic places and their sometimes big-toothed inhabitants, get to the Todd Weiner Gallery (115 West 18th Street). From 5 to 10 p.m. July 3, the space opens Farglebargle by Thomas Gieseke: brightly colored paintings of imagined worlds, touched with nuances of KC’s native fauna, such as squirrels, frogs, spiders and snakes. With 25 years of professional experience, this artist has been featured in the American Show-

After a yearlong studio residency at Hotel Phillips, Madeline Gallucci presents SOFTSERVE at Beggar’s Table Church & Gallery (2010 Baltimore, upstairs) from 6 to 9 p.m. July 3. A 2012 Kansas City Art Institute graduate, Gallucci paid close attention to the day-to-day activities at the downtown hotel — she worked
in a storefront window — incorporating her experiences and observations in her paintings, collages and digital prints. Interactions with hotel guests has added a social component to the art, asking viewers, she writes, “to examine the role of an artist in context of the hospitality industry.”

he Wolfpack, Crystal Moselle’s constantly surprising, occasionally troubling documentary, follows a family of kids raised in almost complete isolation in a New York City apartment. The Angulo kids’ father, a onceaspiring musician from Peru whose devotion to Krishna led him to the not entirely logical conclusion that NYC would corrupt and contaminate his family, forbade them from wandering out of their cluttered home. So the five brothers — they also have a developmentally challenged sister, but the film focuses primarily on the boys — learned about the world through movies: action pictures such as The Dark Knight, epic dramas such as The Godfather, war films including Apocalypse Now. And then the boys started painstakingly re-enacting those films and recording the results. Thanks to the novelty of its subject matter and Moselle’s remarkable access, The Wolfpack is intimate and absorbing, even if it sometimes seems formless. The director, who met the Angulos during one of the rare times they were allowed out, cuts from the kids’ movie re-enactments to talking-head interviews, interspersed with a variety of documentary footage. It can be hard to tell the brothers apart, and the multiplicity of voices sometimes feels muddled. Still, there’s a lot going on here. The Wolfpack is not just a movie about movie love; it’s also one about loyalty, about parenting and about a bizarre life bounded by four close walls. How, exactly, do you break free of a prison built by your loved ones? That’s one of the questions that this film suggests without offering a firm answer. The boys have a troubled relationship with their father, who seems simultaneously domineering and absent. Their mother, on the other

hand, often seems like a long-suffering angel. It would be easy to look at what’s happening here and imagine a world of abuse, and the film doesn’t ignore this possibility. Rather, Moselle’s off beat, frequently playful tone may frustrate those looking for clearly drawn moral lines and judgments. Perhaps that’s the idea, ultimately. As the Angulo brothers struggle to discover the world, and to free themselves of the strict boundaries of the only reality they’ve ever known, The Wolfpack transcends mere socialissue concerns. It becomes a coming-of-age movie with monumental stakes — and a strangely vibrant look at the liberating power of creativity.

t feels strange to report that The Overnight, a small-premise marital sketch stretched into a long-seeming 78-minute sex farce, doesn’t have enough dick jokes, but there it is. Cheerfully juvenile double entendres that telegraph the plot in the early going, yes, but nowhere close to the correct tally of cock-centric lines and looks for a comedy this dependent on male length and girth. Then again, The Overnight doesn’t skimp on key visuals. Adam Scott and Jason Schwartzman, playing the husbands in a pair of newly acquainted couples, have been outfitted with prostheses that are, for different reasons, hard to turn away from. Whatever else here merits the R rating — the swearing, the those-really-aren’t-O’Keeffe paintings, a hand job that wouldn’t look out of place in Eyes Wide Shut — there is what the MPAA
Mealtime in the den might classify as “mild windmilling.” The half-gasp that it induces comes back out as a half-laugh — a reaction that writer-director Patrick Brice earns less often than he intends. Alex and Emily (Scott and Taylor Schilling, both exactly right) are Seattle transplants a bit bewildered by their new middle-class Los Angeles neighborhood. At a nearby park with their little boy, they’re eagerly befriended by fellow playground parent Kurt (Schwartzman, cranking up his selfawareness all the way). He invites them to his family’s home for dinner, where they meet Kurt’s French-born wife, Charlotte (Judith Godrèche, appropriately airy), and are hypnotized by the attractive couple’s higher standard of living and easy rapport. Kurt and Charlotte exude sexualized acquisitiveness — in the glow of their alluring smugness, you expect them to confess that they have a standing invitation to fuck on the display furniture at Viesso. If they seem to be flirting with Alex and Emily, well, that’s just the blush of new friendship. Until (amusingly) it’s a little more. And then (less amusingly) a lot more. Like other recent raunch-charged movies in the Age of Apatow, The Overnight is too good-natured (and too charmingly performed) for one to object very hard, even as its emotional formula is worth flagging. Brice's characters are essentially kind when we meet them, and his condom-thin story asks them to sustain sunny honesty as the awkwardness mounts — and then demands that they become magically more sunny and more honest. Scott and Schwartzman have played dicks in other movies. You wish that they were allowed to do more than just wear or look at dicks in this one. — Scott Wilson

Bitter truths
At Rye, Julie Ohno masterminds
S
ome people call Julie Ohno “the bitters girl,” but that has nothing to do with her disposition. When I meet her at Rye, the Leawood restaurant where she works, she greets me from behind the bar with a bright smile. She’s eager to talk about what’s really behind that nickname: the seemingly endless recipe book she’s assembling for her burgeoning company, No. 22 Bitters. “Making bitters really just started out as a hobby,” Ohno tells me. “I used to love to bake a lot, so thinking about what flavors work well together was always interesting to me. Once I started bartending, I was just like, ‘Oh, maybe I’ll just try making bitters and see how it works out.’ And I ended up loving it.” That was about three years ago, before she started working at Colby and Megan Garrelts’ comfort-food destination. It wasn’t until a couple of months back, she says, that she stepped up the bitters pace. The local-goods shop Urban Provisions contacted her about selling her product, setting off a small frenzy. “I’m still in the process of getting set up at the commercial kitchen and coordinating with the Health Department,” Ohno says. “There are a lot of steps for that. Honestly, I just thought I’d sell a couple bottles here and there at Urban Provisions, but now other places have been wanting to use them and wanting samples. It’s kind of grown its legs a little bit.”
When I glance at the dozen or more vials of Ohno’s bitters that she has laid across Rye’s bar, I understand the demand. Hers is an array that you aren’t likely to find at your local liquor store: ginger peach, coffee pecan, blistered lemon, charred pineapple. In fact, it’s head-spinning enough that I’m here to seek her guidance before just pointing thirstily at the most intriguing flavors. I’m prepared for any revelations I experience to be on the subtle side. Bitters aren’t supposed to dominate any drink — a recipe usually calls for only one or two drops, and the most common, Angostura, is there to enrich the base spirit and give it depth. A few ounces of rum and a dash of Ohno’s charred pineapple do not a piña colada make. Ohno suggests that we start with a champagne cocktail. She sets up three flutes, each containing one sugar cube that has been shown a few dashes of one of Ohno’s bitters. One is charred pineapple, another celery, the third apricot. She pours the champagne, and the sugar — with its payload — quickly dissolves. I can taste which wine has which bitter: The charred pineapple delivers rich, tropical notes; the celery enhances the champagne’s dryness and adds some bitterness; and the apricot makes its glass bright and sweet. When I tell Ohno that I’m ready for a more complex demonstration, she answers with
Ohno has bittersweet success. questions: How do I feel about beets? Am I a gin drinker? Do I like my cocktails sweet or tart? I tell her that I like it all, and she conveys a look that I’ve been unhelpful before she starts to combine some ingredients in a mixer. She gives the resulting ruby-colored liquid a good shake and strains it into a Collins glass, adding ice and topping it with a splash of sparkling water and a squeeze of lemon. “I love beets in any drinking format,” Ohno says. “This is Ford’s Gin that’s infused with beets and a dandelion-tea syrup that we make here which accentuates the earthy quality of the beets. I also used Carpano Bianco vermouth, fresh lemon, the blistered-lemon bitters and simple syrup. We’re working on our new summer menu, and I wanted something light that’s not a vodka drink, that people could enjoy on our patio even when it’s a hundred degrees.” Ohno’s Root Down, as she calls it (a Beastie Boys reference, she confirms), packs a heavy beet flavor. The first few sips feel appallingly healthy. (Where’s the gin?) But there’s plenty of citrus on the back end, giving the cocktail a slight pucker that masks its quiet power. (There’s the gin.) It’s a refined patio pounder, but we agree that the next drink should be more of a patio sipper. continued on page 17

continued from page 15 Ohno grabs an ice press — it looks like a cylindrical mini robot — and melts a large block of ice into a perfect sphere. While I’m distracted by her science, she combines the ingredients for her second drink in a mixer, drops the ice into an Old Fashioned glass, and strains this new golden-hued drink over the frozen globe. “I wanted to give an Old Fashioned a summer twist,” Ohno says as she slides the cocktail toward me. “This is Four Roses bourbon with some Gran Classico — that’s an Italian liqueur, similar to Campari. I’m using my boondocks bitters, which is toasted walnut and pecan, and two drops of a saline solution just to give it balance. For people who aren’t super into whiskey or bourbon, I think this is an easy drink — a nice teaser for a more straightforward cocktail.” Ohno calls this the Oh! Darling, and it delivers a light sweet profile, rich caramel notes and some warmth from the bitters. Unlike the Root Down, it’s a dapper pour that demands a slow reckoning. Ohno has a talent for layering f lavor— something she must have built over years of practice, I tell her. But no, she answers. Before she came to Rye, the only bartending experience she’d had was pulling taps at the Gaf, the late Irish pub in Waldo. “I really haven’t been doing this for that long compared to some people,” she says, “but I feel lucky.” Ohno’s good fortune is likely to grow once No. 22 Bitters becomes official, six weeks or so from now. Her rollout will start at Urban
Provisions and a handful of other local shops before she takes her product, she hopes, into local restaurants. “I’d love to create custom flavors for local bars,” Ohno says. “It’s an unlikely passion, I suppose, but I’m having fun with it.”

NEw Foot Forward
Julia Haile steps back into the spotlight,
J
ulia Haile, an Old Fashioned in one hand, sits with her back to the wall at a corner table inside the Majestic. With perfect stillness, she watches the jazz trio onstage a few feet away: trumpeter Hermon Mehari, bassist Karl McComas-Reichl, drummer Marty Morrison. Mehari is a longtime friend, Haile tells me later. The two met at the UMKC Conservatory, eight or so years ago. At the set break, Mehari joins our table, and the two share an easy conversation that pinballs among topics without lingering on any very long. After 15 minutes, Mehari rises to return to his post. He asks Haile if she’d like to join the trio for a song. “Oh, no, no, I’m OK. I just want to enjoy,” she says, smiling and waving him away. There was a time when her answer would have been different. Haile was the singer for soul-covers band the Good Foot, one of KC’s most in-demand acts. And by the time the group broke up — in 2012, after four years together — she had become recognizable and sought-after on her own. But Haile retreated not just from the Good Foot but also from the spotlight. “The Good Foot was going pretty hard for a few years, turning over every Friday and Saturday night, doing three- or four-hour gigs,” she had told me before. “It was fun, and I had a lot of fun doing it, but I just needed a break.
I wanted to step back and focus on different things, just because change is healthy.” Her desire for relative musical leisure is apparently ongoing. As Mehari returns to the Majestic’s stage, she turns to me and says, “I never get to just enjoy.” Over the past three years, Haile has agreed to a few guest spots here and there, and has spent some nights singing jazz standards at Anton’s Taproom. In 2013, she helped found the Buhs, a local supergroup that includes Mehari and rapper Reach. But that ensemble, she says, has played so infrequently since its inception that she doesn’t really count it as a creative outlet, let alone an interruption in her plan to keep a low profile. Now, though, there’s a fresh breach in that plan. Haile is taking over Thursday nights at Ça Va in July. “I was really intimidated at first,” Haile says of the residency, which kicks off July 2. “It’s five dates, a two-hour set, which can be pretty daunting. But I think it’ll be fun to do some really unexpected, funkier rockand-roll stuff and do it stripped down. I love that place, so it’s just kind of an excuse to be somewhere I like and pull musicians that I wanted together and play some cool stuff.” Tina Turner covers and classic jazz songs are on Haile’s mind, but she’s also planning to debut a handful of brand-new songs.

in the Good Foot with Haile, and Byrne, who is also in the Elders, is not a stranger to his new bandmates. Their comfort together has allowed them to refine their music — which she says is big-hearted, ambitious and loud — instead of figuring out one another. “We all feel so strongly about how it should be presented, and that first show, we really want to blow people away,” Haile says. “We’ve put the hard work in for so long, and to come up with something that’s thoughtful and fun and really gets people energized is difficult.” Difficult, yes, but Haile has an advantage over most singers. Her voice is a honeyed, supple instrument that works across multiple genres and lends meaning to virtually any lyric. Even as Haile sits in the corner at the Majestic, smiling her private smile, she is unmistakably a frontwoman. “I’m looking forward to getting back to music and making this venture my own,” she tells me. “Before, I was working on other people’s songs and getting up and playing the part. I needed a break from that, and it’s kind of made me hungry again. I’m grateful to have had the time. Now it’s time to get back to work.”

Haile is ready for her return.

past year, she tells me, she has slowly built a catalog of original material with a new band — guitarist Tim Braun, trumpeter Nick Howell and drummer Kian Byrne — with songs she describes as funk- and reggae-inspired. These players, as well as several others, figure into Haile’s Ça Va residency, though she has conceived her core sets for shifting duos and trios. It’s a trial run for Haile, ahead of her still-nameless band’s August premiere. “It’s the first big project that I’ve done since the Good Foot, and it’s a huge step,” Haile says of the new ensemble. “It’s all going to be original music. It was different with the Good Foot because it was other people’s ideas and other people’s songs, and it was different to play those characters for those songs. Now, since I have to come up with something from start to finish and develop ideas, I need to put myself into these songs. “It’s a collective effort,” Haile adds. “We work together. We come together trading ideas, which is great because then the pressure isn’t on me, and I don’t feel like I’m baring my soul. And I can’t think of everything on my own, anyway. It’s a little push-andpull, and sometimes I’m not great about changes. But that’s the work.” It helps that both Braun and Howell played

hen Sonya Walker tells me that one of the things she loves about managing the Union of Westport is its “family environment,” she’s not talking about its being kid-friendly. What she’s talking about is her nighclub’s spirit of comfortable inclusion. Each of the six nights a week that the Union is open, the place puts on highly varied entertainment for its patrons and gives unexpected opportunity to a steady stream of performers. The calendar here is full of DJs, pool leagues and comedy nights. What I have come to discuss with Walker, though, is something called Mistake Mondays: the free concert series that Walker and Kenneth Kupfer have hosted here for about a year and a half. Kupfer draws the fliers himself. “We try to be diverse and offer something special every night we’re open, and since Kenneth has been booking bands on Mondays, it’s become one of our busiest nights of the week,” Walker says. “The crowd on Monday is a whole different set from what we see any other time, especially the weekend.” Walker sits at the Union’s basement bar, her iPad propped up in front of her. It’s early afternoon on a Thursday, hours before the bar’s usual 9 p.m. opening. It’s spacious down here, with two pool tables, a long bar, a stage and plenty of dance space, near a patio with its own tented stage and several picnic tables. On Monday nights during the summer, the patio’s thick back door becomes the speak- there,” Kupfer tells me. “All these bands lived in those houses, and they all played easy-like point of entry. with each other and they would put on shows The Union’s decor favors utilitarianism. If it’s not a bottle of booze or yellow tape on the at these houses. At first, they did it because floor, it’s not necessary. (Kupfer’s fliers are they couldn’t go to bars. And then everyone absent.) It’s a clean place, though it still car- started turning 21 in that crowd. I wanted to grab those people and bring them in.” ries a good bar’s whiff of spilled beer and poor Kupfer knows this firsthand. He plays decisions.

Walker and Kupfer: no mistakes Monday bill isn’t an especially tough slate to join. The barrier to entry is simple: Kupfer is looking for bands with a certain DIY ethic. One such band is Drugs & Attics. The Union was the first venue in which the local threepiece played, and the bar remains the band’s most regular concert spot. Lead singer and guitarist Willie Jordan has been with Mistake Mondays from the beginning. “When it started, it was really hit-or-miss, and super-dead a lot of the time,” Jordan says. “But more and more seem to be finding it, which I think is because of Kenneth. He’s got not only the Kansas City punk community but the [broader] music community coming out to support each other. It feels like a place where local bands show up to support each other.” For Kupfer, that’s far from a mistake. “i just try to find bands that are kind of coming from the same place, not necessarily that sound the same,” he says. “I’m interested in people who are trying to make it happen for themselves.”

Ukrainian-born Eugene Hütz is the best kind of madman, and he makes the most of his craziness in his multicultural eight-member troupe, Gogol Bordello, which merges the traditional sounds of Eastern European music with punk and electronica. Pura Vida Conspiracy, the band’s most recent album, is Exhibit A. It’s Gogol Bordello’s most sophisticated collection yet. Polkas entangle with rhapsodic melodies. Electric guitar meets the lute. Reggae is sprinkled throughout. As always, Gogol Bordello remains adept at merging disparate parts of the musical world. Friday, you’ll want to be at this summer dance party. Friday, July 3, Crossroads KC at Grinders (417 East 18th Street, 785-749-3434)
Rev Gusto, Crystal Baller, Rachel Mallin & the Wild Type
If you’ve had your fill of fireworks, perhaps the best way to celebrate this nation’s birthday is with a local-music lineup. Look no further than the Tank Room, where the local pop five-piece Rev Gusto headlines the bill. Later this month, the band releases its debut full-length, Burnt Out Friends, on High Dive Records, so you can expect to hear a sample of fresh tunes. Crystal Baller is also on deck, and if you haven’t yet heard Rachel Mallin’s dreamy alto sliding over the slick electronica
she lays down with her band the Wild Type, you’re missing out. Saturday, July 4, Tank Room (1813 Grand, 816-214-6403)
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Pretty much anyone with a pulse can remember exactly what life was like in the summer of 2009, thanks to the power of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros’ smash-hit single “Home.” It was that song — with its warm, buoyant melodies and uplifting Johnny and June-style chorus — that delivered the Los Angeles group to national recognition. Six years later, the band’s rotating cast of players (numbering up to a dozen people), helmed by lead singer Alex Ebert, hasn’t delivered a hit that made us feel nearly as good about ourselves, though 2013’s self-titled album did bring a welcome dose of sunshine. Perhaps that will change on the band’s forthcoming album. You’ll likely get a taste of the new material Monday when the band stops at Crossroads KC. Monday, July 6, Crossroads KC at Grinders (417 East 18th Street, 785-749-3434)

on The Knife Shift. As she trills through track after track, Young pounds on her keyboard as if throwing punches at an assailant. The effect can be jarring, even scary, the way a listener is suddenly dropped into Young’s mad, topsyturvy art-rock world. But she knows what she’s doing. Just ask her BFF Dave Grohl, who plays drums and guitar on nearly every track on The Knife Shift. Or, perhaps, you can just find out for yourself Wednesday night at RecordBar. Wednesday, July 8, RecordBar (1020 Westport Road, 816-753-5207)
Crossroads Summer Block Party
Last month's annual Crossroads Summer Block Party, postponed due to potential inclement weather, goes on Friday with almost an entirely new lineup. Punk trio the Fog kicks off the evening at 6, and the night continues with the Fritz Hutchison band, Fullbloods, rapper Barrel Maker and beat maker D/Will, garage rockers Organized Crimes, the danceable Heartfelt Anarchy, psych-rock weirdos Monta at Odds and Lawrence singer-songwriter Taryn Miller (aka Your Friend). As always, this show is free and awesome. Friday, July 3, the Crossroads (19th Street and Wyandotte, crossroadsblockparty.com)

Desire Erased Humanity Until My Aching Nuts Explode Dear DEHUMANE: You could tell your boyfriend the partial truth or you could tell your boyfriend the whole truth. The partial truth would go something like this: “Guess what, honey? I shaved off all my body hair all by myself just for fun. Do you like it? And, hey, we’ve been dating for a while, so I should probably lay all my kink cards on the table.” Then you tell him about these fantasies — to be dehumanized, to be an object, to be helpless — and you do it with a smile on your face and a bone in your jock. Remember: You’re not sharing a tragic cancer diagnosis with him. You’re sharing something fun, interesting and exciting about your sexuality. Don’t panic — and don’t hold it against him — if he reacts negatively at first. This is the start of a conversation, not the end of it, and it’s 32

D a n S ava ge boyfriend. If you do want to play with him again — because you’re single or because your boyfriend approves — have an out-ofroles conversation with him about what happened last time. He didn’t hurt you, but he tricked you, and you’re understandably wary of playing with him again. If you do play with him again — a big if — this time anything you haven’t ruled in is automatically ruled out. No tricks. With any luck, your boyfriend, if he feels like he can trust you again, will be there to keep an eye on him and to enjoy the sight of your helpless, faceless body.
Dear Dan: This is going to sound like bragging,
but my appearance is intrinsic to my kink. I’m a gay male gymnast. Most of the guys on my college team are annoyed by the kind of objectification we routinely come in for. (We actually don’t want to be auctioned off at yet another sorority fundraiser, thanks.) But I’ve always been turned on by the thought of being a piece of meat. I’ve masturbated for years about dehumanization. Being in bondage, hooded and gagged — not a person anymore, faceless, nude, on display, completely helpless. (Just typing that sentence made me hard.) It finally happened. I found a guy on recon.com (which I discovered on your podcast, so thank you). He is into BDSM, which isn’t the goal for me, and he wanted to do some of “his stuff” to me while I was dehumanized and helpless. We had a long talk about what I was OK with (gentle tit clamps, some butt play, very light spanking) and what I wasn’t OK with. I didn’t want to be marked. He asked what I meant by that, and I said, “No bruises, no welts, no red marks.” He didn’t bruise me, but he did something that it didn’t occur to me to rule out: He shaved off all my body hair: pits, pubes, legs, ass, chest. I’m angry, but at the same time, I’m seriously turned on by the thought of seeing this guy again. I also have a boyfriend. I thought that this would be a onetime thing, that I would get this out of my system and never tell my boyfriend about it, but I don’t think I can do that now. (Maybe I should’ve figured out that something I’ve been jacking off about since age 13 isn’t something I could do just once.) What do I say to my boyfriend about being suddenly hairless and about my kink? And what do I say to the guy? I want to go back and continue to explore being an object, but I don’t feel like I can trust him.
By
Dear Dan: I’m a 26-year-old guy. I had a fling
a conversation about his desires, too, not just yours. If it turns out that dehumanization/ objectification isn’t something he can do, and it’s not something he could allow you to do with others, then you’re not right for each other. End the relationship and date kinksters you meet on Recon, and disclose your kinks earlier to any presumed-to-bevanilla guys you date. (You never know: You could disclose your kink to a presumed-tobe-vanilla boyfriend and discover that he’s as kinky as, or kinkier than, you are.) The full truth would go something like this: Hand him this column. DEHUMANE’s boyfriend, if you’re reading this, please know that the mistake your boyfriend made — doing this behind your back in the hopes that one experience would satisfy his curiosity forever — is a common one. A lot of people, kinky and not, believe that kinky desires don’t work the same way vanilla desires do, i.e., unlike “normal” sexual desires (fucking, sucking, rimming), kinky desires (pissing, spanking, binding) have to be acted on only once. Do it once, get the kink out of your system, enjoy vanilla sex — and only vanilla sex — for the rest of your life. But kinks don’t work that way. In the same way that “normal” people don’t wanna fuck just once in their lives, a person with your boyfriend’s kinks isn’t going to wanna be objectified and dehumanized just once in his life. Your boyfriend didn’t know that before he did it the first time, but he knows it now. If you can find it in your heart to forgive him, you could wind up with a very hot and very grateful guy. Back to you, DEHUMANE: Put Recon Guy on hold until after you full or partial the
with an awesome bisexual girl, and I told her about the fantasies I’ve always had about men. She suggested that I was bisexual, and it started to make a lot of sense to me. So like an idiot, I came out to my parents. They don’t seem to believe that I’m bisexual, though my father is a trans woman. I’ve never been very macho, and they think I’m confusing that with being bi. Some days, I don’t feel the urge to have sex with men at all, and I feel silly for coming out. I worry that this is something to do with my feelings about my dad. But I’ve cybered with a few guys on Gaydar, etc., and I’ve really enjoyed it. So am I bi or not? Or does it even matter? Was I stupid coming out? I am in a rural area far from the LGBT community, but I’m planning a weekend in the city soon, and I’m hitting the gay bars in the hopes that if I at least make out with a guy, I will get some clarity.
Can’t Retract and Panicked Dear CRAP: Some days, I don’t feel the urge
to have sex with men — believe it or not — but that doesn’t make me any less gay. And there are lots of openly bisexual guys out there who don’t have dads who are trans women, so I think we can set both the intermittentlydisinterested-in-dick and out-trans-parent issues aside. So what’s going on? You have a bad case of something that is rarely discussed: coming-out remorse. All the bad falls on your head the instant you come out — shitty reactions from parents, for example, even ones who should really know better — while the good has yet to arrive. Don’t panic. Give it time, go suck a few dicks, and see how you feel. Bisexual is an identity, not a tattoo on your forehead, and if it’s not right for you — if it’s not who you are — you can round yourself back down to straight.
