Look for 4 Points online Margaret Hair 4 POINTS

in this week’s 4 Points. As we move into the busy summer arts season, I’m looking forward to using Explore as a platform to post band interviews with song clips and MySpace links attached, CD reviews of recent releases, concert coverage from reviews to video clips, photo galleries from happenings around town and visual art events — the space is unlimited, and so are potential online features. A blog format could take the place of this column and allow for bits of arts and entertainment news, links to new bands, short movie reviews, and other frequent, easily digested pieces of information. It’s a 180-degree turn from the once-a-week model we

offer now, and it’s going to allow more freedom for what we cover and how we cover it. We hope these changes will allow for more dynamic coverage of our arts and entertainment offerings and will give us a chance to break out of the weekly cycle and cover more stories, more often. Let me know if you have any questions or thoughts by giving me a call at 8714204 or by e-mailing me at mhair@steamboatpilot.com. The exact details of what arts and entertainment coverage will look like in print editions of the Steamboat Today are still in the works. For now, bookmark Explore Steamboat on your Web browsers, and check it often for event announcements, previews and coverage; artist features and interviews; and daily updates on all things arts and entertainment.

The new show in town Ghost Ranch Saloon hosts variety of bands for 1st weekend Margaret Hair 4 Points

More than a year after owners announced plans to bring a new music venue to Steamboat Springs, Ghost Ranch Saloon opens its doors to the stage-hungry public today. The project’s scope has ballooned since co-owners Jean Sagouspe and Amy Garris first laid out their vision for a fully equipped, hard-rocking nightspot. Ghost Ranch is outfitted with a railed-off stage, a walllength bar drawn up from a late 19th-century model, an array of top-of-the-line sound and lighting equipment, VIP rooms, a spectator balcony, a full kitchen and late-night takeout window, and two downstairs band rooms. The venue’s opening weekend lineup is true to its promise of offering live shows in a variety of musical styles: The Informants, a soul and rockabilly band from Denver, publicly christen the Ghost Ranch stage tonight with a dance-fueled set. With a few dates still up in the air, Ghost Ranch’s book-

ing team has put together a list of concerts covering most weekends through the first part of August. That list, with acts confirmed as of May 20, is available in full at www.exploresteamboat. com and in part at www. ghostranchsaloon.com.

The Informants Rockabilly soul, 9 p.m. today, free

“First things first: We’re a lot of fun, and we dance,” bassist Mac McMurray said, describing the way his band, The Informants, takes the stage. Drawing on party music from the 1940s, ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, The Informants cross the lines from swingstyle lindy hop songs to rockabilly blazers to soul burners. Everyone in the band has a huge record collection, McMurray said, and the vast swath of influences comes through in The Informants’ high-energy set. “A big percentage of it is, all of our parents were very much into music,” he said. “I thank my mom and dad for having the LPs playing in the house all the time when I was a kid. My dad was a big

We were exposed as a group to so many sounds early on.” The Informants know they’re playing opening night of a new music venue, and the band is planning to dress the part, McMurray said. “What we like to do is, when we play a big show like that, we all like to dress up nice and make it a show from

Jazz base, jam branches Springdale Quartet gets bar crowds moving Margaret Hair 4 Points

Springdale Quartet drummer Greg Russell and bassist Jordan Roos have been making music together for a while now. Since the duo’s first time sharing the stage during a fourthgrade talent show, their musical tastes have grown to take on lots of jazz, funk, blues and classic rock. Add Chase Terzian on organ and keys and Ben Waligoske on guitar, and Springdale Quartet puts its own jazzy, classically trained spin on original tunes and barready covers. The group plays today and Saturday at Old Town Pub. Russell and Roos talked separately with 4 Points about Springdale’s instrumental sound, their long-running musical partnership, and how the band member’s tastes have come together. 4 POINTS: How would you describe Springdale Quartet’s live sound? GREG RUSSELL: I would describe our sound as — it’s a combination of funk, rock and blues, I guess; we play a lot of blues songs. Whatever it is, it’s totally that, and I’m not sure how to classify it. 4 POINTS: Where do you get those different elements? GR: It definitely comes from just the music that we like to listen to on a regular basis. Our parents got us into some of this type of music when we were young, listening to Pink Floyd and Van Morrison. After that, we developed our own musical tastes as we got older — everyone got really into Phish and everyone still is really into Phish, The New Mastersounds and the Benevento Russo Duo. It definitely all stems from what we love to listen to.

4 POINTS: Are you planning two different sets for each night? JORDAN ROOS: Yeah, we will probably try to repeat our original material just to try to get people familiar with it, but with a 3.5 hour set, we’ll probably do 30 percent the same both nights, but we’ll try to mix it up with the rest of the set. … We do anything from jazzbased covers to classic rock covers with vocals — probably some of our favorite bands to cover their material would be Medeski, Martin & Wood and maybe, say, the Grateful Dead. But we try to pick covers that people will recognize right off the bat and sing to us that are vocal-based.

And then I guess covers that are more in line with our original material; our original material is more jazz-based and it’s instrumental-based. 4 POINTS: Where do you get the jazz base? JR: I guess it’s jazz-based in the sense that a lot of the songs are written on a Hammond organ, and that would definitely influence the sound more so than the other instruments. But it’s probably jazz, blues and funk and rock. 4 POINTS: Why the organ? JR: It wasn’t necessarily a decision as much as a natural evolution of the band. Our keyboard player, Chase, had a piano and electric keyboard, and his favorite setting on the keyboard was always the organ setting, but he was frustrated that it didn’t replicate the sound of an organ. … He got his first organ for $75 on craigslist, and that was kind of no turning back — that set the tone for what the music is today.

Teen Battle of the Bands

Page 6

You have to hand it to the Steamboat Springs annual Teen Battle of the Bands: The thing runs smoothly. On Friday, six groups of teenage musicians took the ballroom stage at Steamboat Grand Resort Hotel to play a wide mix of styles, from punk to reggae to hardcore to hip-hop. Acoustic reggae band Knock on Wood took first place, but the night didn’t have any especially weak acts. The Westons craftily mashed up the Black Eyed Peas and Sublime with songs I hadn’t heard since the beginning of high school; Fistful of Flamingos turned out a set of strong, self-written acoustic rock songs; the co-lead singers of After Shock wailed through a set of covers; Basically Sound opened with a gutsy duo set; and Silence the Followers marked 2009 as the second year in a row — at least of the years I’ve been — where a tightly wound hardcore band seemed to be the Battle crowd favorite. Kat-N-Tha-Hat filled minimal lag time between sets, bringing a few crowd members up for an emcee-off toward the end of the night and freestyling over beats by stage manager and local drummer Jesse Calhoon.

Ghost Ranch soft opening With a week left to go before its grand opening, Ghost Ranch Saloon opened its doors to friends, supporters and curious locals Saturday. It was the most people I’ve ever seen at a soft opening, and for good reason: There’s been anticipation surrounding the possible opening of a music venue with a permanent stage, full-force sound and light system, band amenities and focus on entertainment since those things left town with the closing of Levelz. Ghost Ranch has all that, along with a strong summer lineup — and a few kinks. Music coming from the stage played well to a full room, but talking didn’t. The LED light boards behind the band looked great from stage right, but they were on the blinding side from stage left. A huge bar staff working two service computers made it easy to order a drink but difficult to pay for it. Those things might be worked out by the time The Informants take the Ghost Ranch stage today; it could take a little while to have everything running according to plan. When that happens, I don’t see Ghost Ranch having any trouble finding bands to play or people to see them. — Margaret Hair, 4 Points

Introduction: Knock on Wood Battle of the Bands winners on working together, creating unique sound Margaret Hair 4 Points

A little more than four months ago, Steamboat Springs High School students Connor Birch, Jake Supple and Max Shoffner decided to enter a student band competition at Olympian Hall. “We pretty much learned our entire set for that overnight,” Birch said. With no reason to stop, the band decided to keep playing. “We thought we had a unique sound, and we wanted to follow up on that and see what we could do with it,” Shoffner said. “We had two acoustic guitars and a djembe and an electric bass — it’s not that unique, but it’s different from what a lot of bands are doing. Supple started bringing songs he had written to rehearsals, and the band put together their varied classic rock, punk and ska music tastes to form what members describe as a slow ska or an

The style propelled Knock on Wood to first place at the sixth annual Teen Battle of the Bands on May 15. Officially, Knock on Wood is Supple on guitar and lead vocals, Birch on lead guitar and Shoffner on bass. For the battle, drummer River Loughran joined the mix.

Organizers of the “Love Wildly” benefit party Wes Dearborn, Anne Eakins, and Jim Steinberg sit in front of the many auction items the group has gathered in an effort to help local photographer Patti Yung. The longtime local and photographer is faced with increasing medical bills after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Dozens of local photographers, restaurants and businesses have donated items for the benefit party hoping to help Patti in her battle with cancer.

Live freely, love wildly

Benefit party embraces longtime resident’s youthful spirit Margaret Hair 4 Points

Patti Yung’s friends tossed around a few names for the benefit party they were planning. Each option had its merits, but one — “Love Wildly” — stood out. “That’s Patti. That’s hers and that’s her. She is a person with great abandon,” said Jim Steinberg, a longtime friend, former co-worker and fellow professional photographer. On May 30 at the Depot Art Center, Steinberg and countless other people Yung has gotten to know during her 26 years living in Steamboat will come together at the Patti Yung “Love Wildly” benefit party. Proceeds will go toward medical costs for Yung, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in early March. About 12 of Yung’s friends got together toward the end of

March to start planning a benefit. That group has grown and has been meeting weekly. “Patti knows so many people, and if they show any interest, I put them on the list,” said “Team Patti” organizer Anne Eakins. There are “Love Wildly” wristbands for sale across town, a banner announcing the benefit above Lincoln Avenue, hoards of silent auction items, and food and beverage donations pledged to the party, and three bands on tap for the night. From 1989 until recently, Yung owned and operated Yung Images Photography, a studio that focused on portraits, and also occasionally incorporated photos at weddings and other events. Yung’s favorite setup, senior photos, was one that went right along with her youthful spirit. “Believe it or not, my favorite thing to do was the high

ment. Furtado had a pie tin, some fishing line, some rubber bands and construction paper. What he ended up with looked like a banjo, so that’s what he called it, and that’s what he specialized in for years as a musician. But Furtado listened to more than traditional bluegrass music, and eventually his tastes wandered and combined, to produce the mix of Americana styles he plays today. “One thing led to another. My first banjo teacher when I was a little kid opened my eyes to the fact that banjo is played in a lot of differ-

ent types of music and had me listening to everything from blues to rock to folk,” Furtado said. After a few albums playing backup to other musicians on the Rounder Records label, Furtado started recording his own material. “I didn’t really listen to a lot of bluegrass per se, but I played it mostly because that’s what you do if you play the banjo. But I was listening to a lot of other types of music, and it got to the point where I was kind of frustrated and I just started playing what I was feeling and what I was listening to,” he said. This was

about 15 years ago — and aside from getting the word out about the evolution of his music during those first few years, Furtado has had an easy transition into making his own, unique brand of American music. “I think it wasn’t difficult for me, just because it felt natural. I wasn’t turning my back and saying, ‘I hate you guys, I’m going away,’ it was more that I was making my own path, and I was not relying on that particular genre for my rules and regulations,” he said. “There was never this page turning; this is now what I’m doing forever, it’s always been

a gradual metamorphosis. … If it stopped evolving, I might as well hang it up.” Furtado — who has lived in Boulder and has played in Steamboat before — comes to town as part of a power trio, with Tyrone Hendrix, of the Jimi Hendrix family, on drums and Tye North, formerly of Leftover Salmon, on bass.

Agent Orange w/ Amputators Punk, 9 p.m. Sunday, $10

Longevity isn’t usually a consideration for straightahead punk bands. But for Agent Orange, it’s

a reality. Since the late 1970s, the band has been a leading name in surf riffs, punk attitude and songs that last less than three minutes, riding the first part of the West Coast wave through too many new waves to count. Agent Orange guitarist and leadman Mike Palm described the band’s initial attraction to combining surf and punk rock this way, in an interview before the band played at Steamboat Mountain Theater in December 2007: “It’s the same kind of thing — it’s really honest and straightforward, and it’s not pretentious.”

What’s playing ‘Terminator Salvation’ Sci-fi action, PG-13, 115 minutes

One of Hollywood’s oldest axioms teaches us: The story comes first. Watching “Terminator Salvation,” it occurred to me that in the new Hollywood, the storyboard comes first. After scrutinizing the film, I offer you my summary of the story: Guy dies, finds himself resurrected, meets others and fights. That lasts for almost two hours. The action scenes, 90 percent of the movie, involve Armageddon between men and machines 10 years in the future. The most cheerful element of the film is that they’ve perfected Artificial Intelligence so quickly. Yes, Skynet is self-aware and determined to wipe out humankind for reasons it doesn’t explain. Christian Bale plays the role of John Connor, in a movie that raises many questions about the lines between man and machine. It raises them and leaves them levitating. However, it has many fights between a humanoid cyborg and robotic Skynet men made of steel. The Resistance is run from a submarine commanded by Gen. Ashdown (Michael Ironside), who wants to destroy Skynet and all of its human POWs. Connor, who is not even human, vows to save them. Wait. That’s Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), Editor’s note: “Dance Flick” was not screened for critics.

‘Star Trek’ Sci-fi action, PG-13, 126 minutes

Using the device of time travel, the movie reboots the franchise with younger characters and actors, as we meet Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Uhuru and Bones in their younger days. Lacks the twists and challenges of classic “Star Trek” and is essentially a space opera, with young Kirk (Chris Pine) battling a Romulan super ship from the future. Leonard Nimoy is very effective as an elder Spock, who is, paradoxically, a Vulcan who seems the most human of the characters. Rating: ★★★

the guy from the past, who looks so much like Connor, maybe he only thinks he’s Wright. Marcus is a convicted murderer from the past, awakened from cryogenic sleep. I know with a certainty approaching dread that all of my questions will be explained to me in long, detailed messages from “Terminator” experts. They also will charge me with not seeing the movie before I reviewed it. Believe me, I would have enjoyed traveling forward through time for two hours, starting just before I saw the movie. But in regard to the answers to my questions: You know what? I don’t care. I regret (I suppose) I did not see the first “Terminator” movie. “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” (1991) was a fairly terrific movie, set in the future, but before the nuclear holocaust of 1997. You remember that. It was about something. Anyway, most of the running time is occupied by action sequences, chase sequences, motorcycle sequences, plow truck sequences, helicopter sequences, fighter plane sequences, towering android sequences and fistfights. It gives you all the pleasure of a video game without having to play it. Rating: ★★

to accept the preposterous, and if we do, it promises to entertain. ‘Angels & Demons’ succeeds. Rating: ★★★

‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ Action, PG-13, 107 minutes

Because the modern Wolverine has amnesia and at the end of this film he forgets everything in it, who cares about his origins? A monotonous, shallow and inarticulate character, used as a story device linking pointless action scenes. He had none of the charisma of the great superheroes. Rating: ★★ — Roger Ebert

‘Ghosts of Girlfriends Past’ Romantic comedy, PG-13, 115 minutes

Whatever it is about Matthew McConaughey that

so gets under some folks’ skin, he’s well-practiced at playing the cocksure ladies’ man, turning “Failure to Launch” and “How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days” into perfectly serviceable romances. “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” is the best of the bunch, a romantic “Christmas Carol,” with Matty M. starring as a won’tcommit heel of a fashion photographer who goes through supermodels the way banks go through stimulus money. Rating: ★★★

‘Obsessed’ Thriller, PG-13, 110 minutes

filmmakers strip the heat and most of the guilt away from a story that was salable in seven short words — “Beyonce and Ali, third-act cat fight.” Rating: ★ — Roger Moore, MCT

‘Hannah Montana: The Movie’ Family music, G, 106 minutes

“Hannah Montana: The Movie” just shouldn’t be analyzed from an adult perspective — which, frankly, is irrelevant. The big-screen version of the Disney TV series is not made for us — it’s made for girls ages 6 to 14 and no one else — and so we must consider how they’re going to respond to it. Now, this will come as no surprise at all: They’re gonna love it. Rating: ★★★ — Christy Lemire, AP
