I wasn’t looking forward to writing my column this week after news came out about another local venue closure, Starlite Lounge, as well as Naked Lounge announcing that, going forward, they will no longer be hosting live music either. Once again, two huge hits for the local scene.

When small, rad venues close like so many have in recent years, all the way back to True Love Coffee House, up to Marilyn’s on K, Luigi’s Fun Garden, Witch Room and now with the latest … God damn, as a music lover, it can be frustrating.

Clearly, the live independent music business model in Sacramento is a struggle, to say the least. I tip my cap to any and all local venues, as well as promoters. It’s a passion and a huge gamble not many people can or will take.

It’s easy to sit back and whip up theories about how places could “be a better venue,” or maybe blame it on the people who didn’t “get out and support” enough. Like with most matters in life, things aren’t just black and white. They’re much more complicated.

With these closures, I even felt guilt. I loved Starlite, I loved the bands the venue’s booker, Chris Lemos, was bringing through, whether I knew who they were or not. Maybe I should have gone to a few more shows, bought a few more beers.

Life is really hard because every day you’re faced with a shit ton of things you could, should or want to do. It’s a constant battle of doing the things you love, working to have enough money to live, attempting to be healthy, all while trying to find time to hang out with friends and family. Oh, and don’t forget to walk your dog.

In 2017, my self-proclaimed life motto has been just to make an effort in whatever it is that makes me happy, as well as keep a good balance with the things that I value.

If I hadn’t made an effort a few months ago to drive all the way up to Mount Shasta to spend time with my family, I would have missed my beloved grandmother’s 90th birthday party. She passed away a couple days before this issue went to print. I’m so grateful that I was able to spend time with her this year, as well as all my years growing up around her.

I guess one thing I’m going to try and take away from all this is to find the balance between supporting the things you love, and most certainly trying to spend as much time as possible with the people who you love.

Oh, and my birthday is coming up, on July 14! Send all gifts to 1009 22nd St., Suite 3.

FAREWELL TO THE LOUNGES: TWO LOCAL VENUES FOLD IN A WEEK Justin Cox

Send regional news tips to info@submergemag.com

Two of Sacramento’s most prolific live music venues dropped off the scene in the span of just a couple of days last month, fanning the flames on the unending conversation surrounding the health of the city’s live music scene.

This time it was the Lounges: Naked Lounge announced that they would no longer feature live music and Starlite Lounge announced that they would shut down entirely. A similar blow hit Sacramento about three years ago, when Luigi’s Fun Garden, Assembly Music Hall, Marilyn’s on K and Witch Room all shut down within a year of each other. Predictably, a wave of concern, tempered by a healthy dose of optimism, rippled across the various scenes, just as it did after the latest venue closures.

“It pains us to close the doors on what we all feel is such an important aspect of the community and the local scene, but when push comes to shove, we are out of options,” said Starlite Lounge via Facebook on the evening of June 20. “Sacramento is a tough market, and it’s a constant uphill battle to run a venue of our size that focuses almost exclusively on live music and touring bands. We truly appreciate your loyalty throughout these years as patrons, music fans, friends and family.”

In the years after The Townhouse changed ownership and became Starlite Lounge, the space became a haven for Sacramento’s heaviest music, largely on the back of Chris Lemos, who booked shows and ran sound in addition to playing in local doom/psych rock band, CHRCH. His name can be found littered across the Facebook eulogies for Starlite after the closure was announced.

But as much as Starlite became a hub for the metal scene, their offerings wandered far beyond the subgenres of that niche. While their closing night appropriately featured a metal show, the two events prior to that featured a band who performed at Woodstock and the Second Annual Booty Worship, which hosted burlesque and pole performances as well as spoken word and live music.

Naked Lounge offered something different, but equally important to a city’s live-music DNA: you could book a show there with unparalleled ease. The venue featured all-ages live music four nights a week in perpetuity.

Musicians had to bring their own crowd (even more so than other local venues), but it didn’t take many people to make that room come alive.

As social feeds lit up with responses to the venue closures, we reached out to some local musicians for their take on the situation.

Sprinkled between those responses are excerpts from other locals on social media.

April Walker (SpaceWalker): “I was honored to have been on [one of the last shows] at Starlite and the last show at Naked Lounge on June 30. This is a wakeup call for all components of our scene and a call to action for the venues, promoters and artists to find other ways to get people in the building besides relying solely on the performers, who already have a responsibility to keep people in the building with their art. An easy way to kill the scene is to take it for granted. Ever since I’ve moved here from a small town, I’ve been excited about all of the art and music that surrounds us, but for the same amount of time have heard Sac natives complain there’s ‘nothing to do.’ If we don’t seek it out and support the events going on, that will eventually be true.”

Chris Lemos [via Facebook]: “I’m not going anywhere but GOD DAMMIT Starlite was home.

Literally. I spent more time there than I did actually at home most of the time. There are wheels in motion and I can only hope that what the future holds feels as good and does as much as that room did for me and the staff, and so many others. Together we mourn, but together we can also make it out of the wreckage. RIP Starlite.”

Kenny Beasley [via Facebook]: “The Sacto scene is more vibrant now than ever. Trust me, I don’t think there’s been a six month stretch that I haven’t played a show in Sactown since 1987 or longer. And I can tell you that there are more cool spots to rock than ever. We got the Above and Underground crackin’ these days.

How many rad spots have come and gone?

It’s just a part of it. You got this kids!!!”

Issue 243 • July 3 – July 17, 2017

Danny Secretion (The Secretions and The Moans): “I don’t feel it says something about our local music community as much as is it does the changing economic landscape of Downtown and Midtown Sacramento. The music scene will continue to thrive, whether it’s in Downtown and Midtown or in Oak Park, West Sac or the suburbs. The musicians and music fans in this city are much too resilient to pack it up. Both [venues] served very important facets of our local music scene. Starlite was a home to many of the heavier acts in town. Naked Lounge was a home to many of the singer-songwriter types. As much as it hurt those facets with the closing of these venues, it points to how vital it is that the harder acts continue to support places like On the Y and the singersongwriters continue to support places like Luna’s.”

Autumn Sky Hall (Write or Die): “We have emotional bonds to these places, like old friends. Naked Lounge was an amazing platform for musicians just beginning to play in the area. Venues have been coming and going since people began to play music in Sacramento and they certainly won’t fizzle out just because something dear to them was lost. We’re all far too stubborn. Every few years or so it feels like the scene has to more or less reinvent their wheel, but I think that’s good. It forces us to think of the future from fresh perspectives. I’m eager to see what the next chapter will be, and ready to work alongside the community to get there.”

Vinnie Guidera [via Facebook]: “I’ve played at Naked Lounge 27 times. They trusted me when I had weird ideas that were too big for a coffee shop and helped me make it work. They reached out and booked me when I had no drive and had all but given up on playing music. That stage was home base for a lot of years, and I’ll always appreciate the comfort that I felt there.

Starlite was THE place to play loud and hard. Chris Lemos filled a huge gap in the artistic mosaic of this town by giving heavy music a home. Not only could you find some insane acts from across the world playing there, but you’d usually find locals on the same bill. We may have only played there three or four times, but those were three or four of my favorite shows. Go out to stuff. Support local art. ACTIVELY ENGAGE with your creative community. Take a chance and spend $5 to see a band you’ve never heard. Spotify doesn’t feed artists or keep venues open.

PS: If you are an artist and you don’t go to shows other than your own, you aren’t pulling your weight.”

Brendan Stone [via Facebook]: “I can’t stress enough how important it is that we not only verbally support the businesses we appreciate and want to stick around, but actually come out to their events and promote them vocally with others.”

Ean Clevenger [via Facebook]: “Today we are feeling a huge blow to the scene … I hope the city rallies and really comes up to support the underground shows.

This business is fragile, especially for people supporting real bands and artists. It’s no joke, it takes a village.”

Evan Thompson [via Facebook]: “This one really hurts. Every show I had the privilege of playing at Starlite, regardless of turnout, was an absolute blast.

So many heavy hitters have played that stage thanks to the hard work and dedication of Chris Lemos and the rest of staff.”

Chrome Ghost [via Facebook]: “We all loved the Starlite Lounge, and will miss it dearly. Chris Lemos was always a major supporter of this band, and we look forward to working with him for the rest of time. We played one of our most unique shows at the Naked Lounge, alongside our idols Odamé Sucks. Both of these venues offered something important to the community, and will be missed.”

Susan Rose [via Facebook]: “Well, fuck.

Starlite Lounge and Chris Lemos pretty much brought the heavy music scene to life in Sacramento over the last few years.

I’ve been honored to play so many shows with fucking amazing bands that, frankly, we wouldn’t have had the chance to open for otherwise. Thank you for staying around as long as you have, and I hope everyone working there lands on their feet.

What a bummer.”

Beers on Tap!

Part PETA polemic, part Upton Sinclairian socialist parable, part My Neighbor Totoro, with a dash of dark experimental ensemble comedy, Okja is all the more entertaining for its imperfections.

It’s exhilarating to see that ultimate rarity—a tonally chaotic, risk-taking, unpredictable and engrossing picture that works in service to the span in which it is watched, instead of punching in the clock to construct a franchise or extended universe. It’s a film that doesn’t give a damn whether it fits cleanly into four-quadrant mediocrity. Like its title creature, it is simultaneously cute, grotesque, tragic and ridiculous, and no matter how far off-themark it may roam, it is confident that it belongs to someone, and that someone will love it all the more strongly for being strange.

In a disturbingly comical prologue, we’re introduced to a simpering, brace-faced biotech CEO (played with relish by Tilda Swinton, also in a dual role as her own “evil” twin) who unveils her company’s plan to end world hunger—a new miracle livestock animal known as the “superpig.” In a winning PR move to save face for the company’s years of evil practices, she holds a worldwide contest, letting 26 farmers in 26 countries try their hand at raising the biggest and healthiest superpig for a grand unveiling 10 years hence.

The present-day interlude that follows is a much-needed calm before the bizarro storm to follow, as preteen Mija (Ahn Syeohyun) wanders the idyllic forests and mountainsides of Korea with her constant superpig companion Okja. Her puckish grandfather knows that time is running out for the equally massive and docile pet (somewhat similar to a genetically engineered Eeyore spliced with hippo and manatee DNA), and is hoping to sweep the issue under the rug until the last minute.

Once the Mirando (read: Monsanto) company field team arrives, headed by a deranged, alcoholic, kid’s wildlife show host (Jake Gyllenhaal, channeling Jim Carrey’s Ace Ventura one octave higher), the pooch is screwed, and Okja shifts gears into an emotionally unglued madcap chase that doesn’t let up until the film’s

Issue 243 • July 3 – July 17, 2017

conclusion. Mija becomes a one-girl army intent on pursuing her captive superpig to the ends of the earth, from downtown Seoul to Times Square, and a slew of corporate office mazes and grimy slaughterhouses in between. On the way, she falls in with a ragtag group of militant (yet pacifist) animal liberation activists headed

by Paul Dano and The Walking Dead’s Steven Yeun that live by their credo at all costs, one going so far as to cut almost all vegetables out of his diet. One is never sure who, if anyone, is being mocked, but everyone involved, save for the steadfast Mija, is played for full camp potential.

It’s an adventure that ranges from the charming to the shocking; never fully doubling down on its anti-meat industry stance enough to become a full-blown PSA, at its best, it allows one to question our own societal infatuation with cute animals versus our casual disregard for livestock, and indeed there are few arguments that can point out any fundamental difference between the two.

Avoiding the pitfall of sacrificing entertainment for heavyhanded lambasting, Okja is content to exude a broader, generalized, anticapitalist sentiment of the sort commonly employed by successful artists in the free world without a lick of irony. In director Joon-ho Bong’s last dystopian fable, Snowpiercer, a vast train with the rich in front and the proletariat in the rear became a metaphor for class struggle. Here, the message is less clear, but it is possible to derive some merit, even if you’re unsure how meat production is a specifically capitalist phenomenon.

One could say that another major hero in this story is the rising free-market juggernaut Netflix, which has sidestepped the dated Hollywood mode, by whose standards Okja may have been a mismarketed flop, to allow exciting, idiosyncratic productions like this one to find their fanbase quicker than ever before. (At Cannes, the film’s Netflix logo was booed; like a great deal many other things, the French consider it an affront, this time to the governmentsupported domestic film industry).

There’s little to lose in adding this to your queue. Joon-ho Bong is an intensely inventive director who juggles the light-hearted and the macabre with ease, and whose vision has lost nothing of its character in his two non-Korean productions. Like all great pets, Okja is full of mischief, a little bit of poo and a whole lot of love.

The Optimistic Pessimist Out of Commission Bocephus Chigger bocephus@submergemag.com What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and found that your phone had stopped working? You might have left it on the roof of your car when you drove off and it smashed in the street, or perhaps you dropped it in the toilet; the point is, your phone has become an expensive paperweight. I found myself in one of these very situations recently, thanks to alcohol, slippery hands and an open commode.

I did not realize how attached I was to my phone nor how much I depended on it to get through my day. My first problem was that I did not have an alternate phone.

I haven’t had a landline in years and there are no pay phones anywhere these days unless you want to hang out at a truck stop or an airport. My girlfriend was also out of town, so using her phone was not an option either. That meant that I was effectively incommunicado for two days.

On my first day without a phone, I was mostly hungover and not in the mood to do a lot of yappin’ anyway, so it wasn’t a big deal; however, by day two, things had changed.

Since I was still nursing my hangover, I didn’t feel like cooking anything for dinner and I didn’t feel like driving anywhere for food either. Pizza delivery sounded like the perfect solution, but then I realized that I couldn’t place an order at my local pizza spot without a phone. I agonized about leaving the house for so long that I ended up getting stuck driving to Taco Bell for the closest thing to a pizza I could find, a Mexican Pizza, which, I think we can all agree, is no replacement for a real pizza.

Missing out on pizza is one thing, but not having a phone also meant I couldn’t communicate easily with my girlfriend while she was out of town. We had to coordinate a time to meet up through email until we eventually figured out how to do a video call with my laptop. Even then, my girlfriend’s view for much of our conversation was of my feet because the program we were using would not let me switch to the front-facing camera until the last 30 seconds of our conversation. We made it work because my girlfriend is a good sport, but it was weird.

Not having a phone certainly made life

more difficult in other ways. Besides being my only phone, it is also my only watch and alarm clock. I stopped wearing a watch when I first got a cellphone and I threw away my old alarm clock when I moved back to Sac because I didn’t think I needed it anymore.

Clearly, I was wrong about that, but luckily, I found an even older alarm clock in a storage bin in the closet. The lights seemed to flicker a bit on it, but fortunately, it worked and I made it to the office on time.

My work is busy and requires a lot of concentration. Usually, I need to leave the office for lunch to get away from everyone and mentally prepare myself for the second half of the day. Without a clock to know when to come back, I was forced to eat lunch in the office. That day felt like an eternity. Part of my job requires me to be out of the office as well, which meant I couldn’t always be near a clock.

I was worried that I’d miss my appointments, so my girlfriend loaned me a watch to keep track of time, but I broke it before I even had a chance to use it. I was starting to wonder if I should be handling anything mechanical.

Things were not going my way and I needed to chill. I usually calm myself down by reading some internets on my phone, but that clearly wasn’t happening. I tried to buy my favorite magazine to kill time instead, but the store still hadn’t stocked the latest issue.

With no magazine and no phone, I didn’t know what to do with myself. Everywhere I looked, people were talking on their phones, or looking at them and I had nothing. Empty handed, I stared off into the abyss and reminisced about what life was like before, when I had a phone of my very own.

And then a new phone came into my life.

It was like my old phone, but a little shinier.

I could tell that it had never been inside of a toilet and I hope that it remains that way. I know I will certainly be more careful using my phone around the porcelain throne and will only take it out after I am seated. Sometimes, it’s important to set boundaries, even for yourself, especially if those boundaries end up being the difference between having and not having a phone. Let this be a warning to all!

All Hail the Almighty Heirloom Tomato at the 10th Annual Capay Tomato Festival • July 22 In 1976, two UC Davis graduate students, Kathleen Barsotti and Martin Barnes, borrowed money from their parents and bought 20 acres of land in Capay Valley. Situated northwest of Sacramento in Yolo County, the two set out to farm their land and produce fruits and veggies the way nature intended them to be grown—organically. They went on to help start the Davis Farmers Market and eventually, in the early ‘90s, started their now extremely popular organic produce delivery service, Farm Fresh To You. Today, Kathleen and Martin’s kids carry on their traditions, running the family farms and businesses, hosting educational events and tours and along the way. This month, their annual Capay Tomato Festival is celebrating its 10th year! On Saturday, July 22, from 3–11 p.m., you can enjoy organic heirloom and cherry tomato tastings (and even vote for your fave!), take a tractor-tram ride or a selfguided walking tour of the farm, and harvest some tomatoes with your very own hands. There will be live music from the likes of The Golden Cadillacs, Miss Lonely Hearts and Lauren Wakefield, plus food trucks on site, local beer and wine and so much more. You can even make a weekend of it and camp out on the farm, under the stars, amongst the orchards. To buy tickets and find more info, visit Farmfreshtoyou.com and click on “events.” General admission tickets start at just $20 in advance.

Kids 12 and under are free.

Sol Collective’s Upcoming Adornment Exhibit Celebrates the Beauty and Strength of Women of Color • July 15–Aug. 7 Sacramento native and photographer Amanda Lopez has teamed up with Los Angeles stylist and jewelry designer Tanya Melendez on a powerful new exhibit called Adornment. The exhibit pairs Lopez’s love of portraiture, Melendez’s eye for jewelry and design, and the duo’s shared love of cultural celebration and empowerment. Adornment received rave reviews from LA Weekly and Remezcla after its recent opening in Los Angeles, and now the beautiful series of portraits will make its way to Sacramento’s Sol Collective for an opening reception on July 15.

“Women of color are underrepresented in all facets of life, business and art,” Lopez explains in a press release submitted to Submerge. “We felt that it was important to create a space that honors women of color and reminds them of their power, divinity and beauty.” Adornment will be on display at Sol Collective, located at 2574 21st St., from July 15–August 7. The opening reception on July 15 is free, open to the public and will take place from 6–10 p.m. Learn more at Facebook.com/solcollective or Solcollective.org.

Stretch, Pet, Repeat! GoatHouse Brewing Hosts “Farm Yoga” Classes • July 16 Do you enjoy doing yoga? Do you also enjoy being in the company of cute animals like baby goats and donkeys? If you answered yes to either of those questions, listen up, because the nation’s newest yoga craze has made its way to the Sacramento region. Yes, people, “goat yoga” is a real thing and if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense to surround yourself with animals while you stretch and get your zen on. According to a study published in 2005 in the British Medical Journal, playing with pets can raise levels of serotonin and dopamine, and decrease cortisol. Medical Daily has also previously reported that spending time with animals has been linked to having a healthier heart and might even combat things like diabetes and ADHD. You can’t argue with science! Luckily for us in the Sacramento area, GoatHouse Brewing Co. in Lincoln is now offering occasional “Farm Yoga” classes, with the next one taking place on Sunday, July 16, at 10 a.m. “Baby goats will be bouncing around you to keep the flow and sequence delightful,” GoatHouse wrote on their Facebook page. “Rory the donkey may lean in to enhance a stretch and enjoy a neck rub. Breathe in and experience the serenity and purity of love the animals have to offer.” The class is $40 and that includes a cold beverage at the end of the yoga session. Sign up early, space is limited! Visit Facebook.com/goathousebrewing for more info, or go to Eventbrite.com and search for “Farm Yoga @ GoatHouse Brewing” to buy tickets.

BLEEP BLOOP Little Boots, Big Electropop

Words Niki Kangas Photo Charlotte Rutherford

G

litchy sounds, beeps, beats and synths pound hard as colorful lights flash in time. At the touch of buttons and keys, Little Boots, a swaying British

blonde, holds the pulsing crowd in the palms of her hands.

Electropop. Heavy but sweet, it moves you.

English-born Victoria Christina Hesketh was once in a relatively successful all-girl electropunk band called Dead Disco, but when she emerged as a solo artist under the moniker Little Boots, she topped the BBC Sound of 2009 poll even before she released her debut album, Hands. Since then, she’s toured internationally, played Coachella and released three full-length LPs and a handful of EPs. She’ll be visiting Sacramento for the first time on July 8 for a DJ gig at THIS is Midtown, a summertime Second Saturday block party that posts up in front of the MARRS building on 20 th between J and K streets. She asked me, “What’s good in Sacramento?” and I told her THE FOOD, like, eat three meals here, and explained the whole farm-to-fork thing. And that there’s lots of trees and to visit the river. She said she was really excited to come here. Here’s the rest of my conversation with Hesketh, who is as articulate as she is charming and talented.

You’re going to love THIS is Midtown. It’s a great fit for your music and what I perceive to be your audience.

What can fans expect when they come see your DJ set?

It’s booked as part of this blog haus night. It’s a throwback to this early 2000s electro sound, so they want me to play that kind of thing, which is fun, because that’s around when I first started doing solo music and a lot of that early stuff was that sort of “hype the club”… so I guess it’ll be kind of a throwback set. I did one recently in L.A., it was fun, and everyone was going crazy!

What are you working on right now outside of touring?

I’m working on a new EP at the moment. It’s kind of house-y, and it’s all female mixers and masters, so it’s kind of a girl power project.

I’m working with some really cool female producers from Berlin. There are two tracks and we’re getting a couple more done, and hoping that will come out later this year.

It’s really nice doing an allfemale project. I’ve realized in 10 years of producing music I’ve worked with one woman and all the rest were men, so it’s a good time to do something female-focused.

Why do you call yourself Little Boots?

It’s kind of like a stupid nickname from a friend, because I’ve got small feet.

What’s it like for you, being a female musician. Do you feel women have to objectify themselves to be successful, or that you have to be a role model for young female fans?

What’s it mean to you to be a musician and female?

I think you just have to focus on being a good musician and not focus too much on gender.

So it has nothing to do with Julius Caesar?

No, although she was aware of that when she started calling me that.

Dive Into Sacramento & Its Surrounding Areas

Do the best you can, be as creative as you can, stand up for your opinions, be confident, and try to not get too bogged down with that stuff. Obviously it’s an important conversation, especially in the last couple of years. It’s become really fashionable and talked about, which I think is a really great thing, but you’ve got to just be really good at what you do and just have confidence in yourself and in what you’re creating, regardless of your gender. Don’t let that get in the way of anything.

Would you say your music has evolved over time, and if so how, since you started being a solo artist?

Absolutely. It’s funny because when I first started out I was doing quite left field stuff, like singles with Joe from Hot Chip and alternatives to more, like, dance producers, and when I got signed, the first record was more of a pop production, it was a lot more commercial. I’ve come full circle now and gotten back in touch with my origins, especially DJing a lot—it all ties into that world. It’s kind of nice to be able to take elements from the big shiny pop world and mix them with the more underground dance elements, and appeal to a wider audience.

Over time, what’s been really important to me is going from a major label and being part of that whole machine to being an independent artist and understanding how my business can run. Being in control of my creative output means I can ultimately do what I want and gives me a lot more focus and freedom.

I feel more liberated when I’m creating stuff now. But I really have to focus and get things done because it’s only me.

“Over time, what’s been really important to me is going from a major label and being part of that whole machine to being an independent artist and understanding how my business can run. Being in control of my creative output means I can ultimately do what I want and gives me a lot more focus and freedom.”

– Victoria Christina Hesketh, aka Little Boots, on her progression in the music industry.

So you’re self-releasing your own albums now.

Yeah, I have my own record label. Sometimes I partner with other labels but generally I self-release. I art direct stuff, write all the songs obviously, co-produce it … just try to be as involved as possible in every stage of the process, from writing to distribution, really.

What sorts of things do you do for fun when you’re not writing, recording, touring and promoting?

What?! You mean there’s other things you can do apart from those? I mean, I do do music all the time. I travel a lot, I’m in between L.A. and the U.K. all the time. I’m writing songs for other musicians, I do some art. I also have this startup company called Loop, that’s like a website insider guide, like a city guide, created by bands and DJs who are on the road and touring to share their favorite clubs and bars and stuff. So a lot of my projects are work, but they don’t feel like work.

What instruments do you play?

I’ve played piano since I was, like, 5, and I play a few other classical instruments, but since I was a teenager I’ve gotten really into electronic things. So I’ve collected lots of gadgets. I’ve gotten quite known for playing this thing called a Tenori-on, which is

like a Japanese gadget that emits a sequence of lights … lots of synthesizers, old ones, new ones, analog ones, digital ones. Anything that’s tactile and is more like a toy, a gadget, than an instrument.

I prefer that sort of thing.

I made this dress that kind of lights up to the music. I’m really into things that are electronic music but also a visual representation of electronic sound.

Did you say that you made that dress?!

Well, I collaborated with someone actually, it was a creative project for VICE, and it reacts to the music you’re playing.

Are you going to be wearing that when you come to Sacramento?

No [laughs loudly]. It was really uncomfortable. It was like a swimsuit, it was incredibly unflattering. It looked cool when it was dark, but when the lights went up, that was another story. Kind of like wearing a mattress.

Art for the living

Crocker Exhibit Celebrates 10 Years of Art Magazine Hi-Fructose Words Nur Kausar

T

urn the Page: The First 10 Years of Hi-Fructose is likely one of the best contemporary art exhibits the Crocker Art Museum has ever displayed. It’s evocative, delightful and sometimes surprising.

But mostly, it’s accessible, which was a goal for both its curators at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, and for Hi-Fructose magazine founders and editors in chief, Annie OwensSeifert and Daniel “Attaboy” Seifert.

Accessibility to contemporary art has been part of the mission for Annie and Attaboy, who started self-publishing and sustaining Hi-Fructose 10 years ago.

They brought what some considered “lowbrow” art to the mainstream and onto magazine shelves, affirming that this form of expression by living, local artists deserves just as much attention as “the greats” hanging in the homes of the elite and on loan to museums.

Turn the Page takes this mission one step further, by bringing the art from the magazine pages to the people.

“For a long time, I found many modern museum showings to be ‘one note’ compositions or presented as a wealthy family showing off their [investments] collection,” says Attaboy.

“Honestly, I often enjoy many of the gift shops more. All the artists shown in Turn the Page are living, working artists and complement each other. They aren’t afraid to tell a story, or show you what their interests are.”

Those stories can range from political to personal—the struggles and triumphs of life experiences, emotions of family and children, divorce, assault, natural disasters and the impact of war on humanity.

Pieces from Marion Peck, Mark Ryden, James Jean, Yoshitomo Nara

and 47 other renowned contemporary artists from across the world who have been featured in the pages of Hi-Fructose over the last 10 years were carefully chosen to expose a broad audience to artists who use their media as tools to visualize what is happening in contemporary society.

“The pieces are all so different but 6

I think the one characteristic shared throughout the show is accessibility,” says Annie. “And I mean accessible in terms of connecting with the viewer.

Art can be thoughtful, intelligent and provocative and still not require a master’s degree in order to discuss or understand it in the way a lot of high concept work does—that to me is exclusionary. This work is with the viewer, not above them.”

The entrance into the exhibit is a clear indication of this. Both the entrance from the staircase and from the elevators open up into an immersive two-room installation by American artist Mark Dean Veca that splashes across nearly every inch of white space.

Veca fabricates these temporary, spatial pieces first in vinyl, then goes back in and hand paints improvised line work, reflecting his parents’ jazz musician background. The resulting impact is loud, meaningful and

mesmerizing; a perfect entrance to the rest of the exhibit.

Turn the corner, for example, and visitors are greeted by Shepard Fairey’s Rise Above. Fairey has been creating his politically charged movement art for more than a decade. His latest work has been displayed on skyscrapers from Las Vegas to Sydney, Australia to Berlin, Germany. The immediate gratification of seeing one of his pieces live in Sacramento right after the Amplifier Foundation’s “We the People” campaign against the Trump inauguration leaves an impression.

The globalized element of the exhibit, especially in terms of shared social issues, stands out throughout the exhibit. Walking toward the sculpture Black Hoody by Erwin Wurm of Austria, one can assume in America what the sculpture of a youngish, short, dark, hooded figure could mean. continued on page 20

“Art can be thoughtful, intelligent and provocative and still not require a master’s degree in order to discuss or understand it in the way a lot of high concept work does—that to me is exclusionary. This work is with the viewer, not above them.”

–Hi-Fructose co-founder Annie Siefert on the work featured in Turn the Page: The First 10 Years of Hi-Fructose.

Issue 243 • July 3 – July 17, 2017

The artist’s actual description— that the statue is a British soccer hooligan—is surprising at first but does lead to a deeper conversation of our perceived notions and our stereotypes, and how they compare to stereotypes in other cultures.

For Annie, Marion Peck’s work stands out as a favorite. The exhibit includes a cute, and on closer inspection, chuckle-worthy, Peck painting of rabbits having sex in a forest.

“Her work is elegant and graceful yet not pretentious,” Annie says.

“The sense of humor and intelligent anarchy in her work is an element that permeated the underground art world back when I first became aware of it. I’m happy to be seeing it now, her underlying attitude unchanged, in a museum where people bring their children. This of course is not the first time her work has been shown in a museum but that it’s part of the HiFructose show makes me very happy.”

Annie and Attaboy both must share a rabbit fetish, because Attaboy’s favorite piece, by Beth Cavener, also showcases the animal in an exposed way.

“Her sculptures are dynamic, fluid and have a narrative that shines through,” Attaboy says. “I like that people’s first response is ‘Oh, bunny!’ then a few moments later, the theme of the same work has a way of creeping up the spine as the viewer anthropomorphizes the art with the weight of their own baggage.”

Individual pieces were picked based on a number of factors, including art piece availability, logistics and visual and narrative balance, Annie says, not on who was “best” or “most deserving.” As for location, the cities of Sacramento, Akron and Virginia City are the only ones to see the exhibit, for which the editors are grateful.

“Why should big cities have all the

Annie Owens-Seifert and Daniel “Attaboy” Seifert. Photograph by Nicholas Wray fun?” Attaboy says. Annie notes that a bigger audience was reached as well, as opposed to if they had shown in larger cities.

“Still can’t believe the thing came together and is real,” Attaboy adds.

“I’m amazed to see children and older folks stare and enjoy and investigate the art. That took me by surprise. It’s been weird for us to see this thing realized. The Virginia MOCA did a great job doing all the leg work, but it wasn’t easy to select only 51 artists. But it became its own great thing. Kinda like a movie based on a book. I’m pretty sure there will be a more straight-up gallery show in the future.”

Annie notes that this is too diverse of a show to throw any kind of blanket statement on it, but she makes one thing clear: each artist in the show had begun cultivating their own career long before social media was a thing.

“In the ‘90s and early 2000s before we began publishing Hi-Fructose, Daniel and I as artists had been milling around an already vibrant art scene humming below the radar before we started publishing ... An arena that was not dependent on social media,” she says.

“Many of the artists in the show had made names for themselves before we came along. We were just covering what wasn’t getting coverage at the time and

there was so much. That was our job.

Years later, social media exploded and helped to push this art scene out above the glass ceiling, but it didn’t make these artists.”

Many of these artists, she says, showed in galleries that didn’t follow the status quo, worked as illustrators, published indie zines, did poster art, made comic books, band art and street art that was actually on the street (sans PR reps).

“We’re fortunate that each one of them said yes when we asked if we could do a feature

on them,” she says. “If not for artists that keep pushing boundaries there wouldn’t be a reason for us to keep going.”

Turn the Page: The First 10 Years of Hi-Fructose will be on display from June 11– Sept. 17 at the Crocker Art Museum, located at 216 O St. in Sacramento. The Museum is open Tuesday–Sunday from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. (open till 9 p.m. on Thursdays) with general admission $10 for adults, $8 for seniors/ military/college students, $5 for kids 7–18 and free for kids under 7 and members. The museum will also host a conversation with Hi-Fructose founders Annie Owens-Seifert and Daniel “Attaboy” Seifer on Saturday, July 15 at 2 p.m. Register for this event at find more info at Crockerart.org.

Take Charge

Local Punks At Both Ends Fully Embrace Ska on Their First FullLength Album Words Haley Teichert Photo below Jacob Marler live photos Cam Evans

26

T

he Sacramento area has a large and diverse punk scene, with styles ranging from pop punk to folk punk to hardcore. But from time to time, the local music scene becomes permeated by a handful of bands who are playing another exciting and danceable sub-genre: ska punk.

One of these local bands is ska/skate punk group At Both Ends. The band has been playing together for almost three years now (their anniversary is coming up in September), and they recently celebrated the release of their new album Wheel’s Out the Window with an energetic and heartfelt album release party at Cafe Colonial. At Both Ends has put out a short EP in the past, but Wheel’s Out the Window is their first full-length album, and it takes a more upbeat and eclectic direction than their previous release.

The new album was recorded in Sacramento at Pus Cavern, and is distributed by Morning Wood Records (a small punk

Issue 243 • July 3 – July 17, 2017

rock label based out of the Netherlands), as well as online.

Wheel’s Out the Window captured the attention of ska and punk publications around the United States, and the album has also been warmly received in Germany, France and other parts of Europe.

I caught the band’s set at their album release show, and I was struck by their uplifting lyrics, driving drum beats and vibrant horn section. Catchy vocal harmonies give way to epic guitar solos, and intricate instrumental switch-ups will keep you on your toes. The group dances and leaps around the stage while they wail on their instruments, and as a member of the audience it’s hard to stand still.

I had the chance to talk to singer/guitarist Gene Mansour and singer/bassist Sean McCobb about their new album, things they’re looking forward to and the serendipitous way that the band was started.

Dive Into Sacramento & Its Surrounding Areas

Tell me about your band name. What are you guys at both ends of?

Sean McCobb: Everything.

Gene Mansour: We are at both ends of a whole bunch of things. Like the spectrum of punk.

You know, going from ska to kind of metal at times. At Both Ends is burning the candle at both ends, in my life and in the lives of a lot of the other guys in the band. I have a full-time job and a full-time family, a wife and three kids, and we’re still cramming in the band, organizing tours and living life to the fullest! Life’s too short to not burn the candle at both ends, that’s my perspective on it.

SM: We like to have two very wide perspectives and make them run into each other, so that what we create is different, hopefully, than things before.

How and where did you guys start At Both Ends?

SM: There was this guy named Dan. GM: Dan initially sent out a Craigslist post asking for a bass player. I liked the idea of why he was forming a band, so I said, “I don’t play bass guitar, but if you need a second guitar, I’ll play with you.” And he got Junior [Onesimo Martinez, Jr.], our drummer, and Sean, who’s a bass-player and trombonist, to come and jam with us. Dan just never turned up after the first practice. We just kept playing. Then we added to the band.

Now Jason [Eldred] is playing lead guitar, and George [Brahler] plays with us on trumpet.

Where is everyone from?

SM: We all live in Sacramento right now, but only Jason is actually from Sacramento.

GM: I’m from Australia, Junior is from Orange County, Sean is from Rancho Cucamonga and George is from Kansas.

What was a pivotal experience that made you realize you wanted to play ska music?

SM: I bitched a lot. I just complained until we started playing ska music. That’s how I remember it, I could be wrong.

So At Both Ends didn’t start out as a ska band?

SM: We were supposed to be a straight punk band initially. I don’t know if we were supposed to be anything, but we didn’t play a ska song until probably a couple months in.

SubmergeMag.com

Do you have a message in your music? What type of change would you like to see globally, and how do you think your music ties into it?

SM: When At Both Ends started, I wanted to bring freedom, and I’m kind of an anarchist, and I wanted to spread that. But I really eventually saw that spreading happiness was kind of cooler. So that’s where I’m at now. I want to make music that makes people happy and dance.

GM: The vibe of the music is definitely about happiness. From my perspective, a lot of what I write is about people taking initiative for their own life. I don’t like the idea that people have to look for someone else to blame. You need to take initiative for your own life. That’s what a lot of the songs end up being about, when I write them. A lot of the meanings and the words are about that. But as a whole, I think that Sean hits the nail on the head, saying that we want people to have fun. Particularly when they come to see us play live. We want them to have a good time.

What direction does the style of music take, in comparison to what you’ve done before?

GM: The style of the album took us more down the ska avenue. The first EP was very much fast, melodic skate punk, with a little bit of ska thrown in. [For this album] we incorporated more songs that are ska, while still retaining that fast, melodic [punk] undertone throughout the album.

I suppose that we became more ska. We brought the trumpet player George into the band before this album, and we added more horns to the mix as well. So that was kind of the direction that we headed down on the album. And I think our songs became a lot more dynamic as well.

SM: Our music [on this new album] is much more technical than on the EP. Are you working on new music, now that your album is complete?

SM: We got so many songs in the works.

I’m making a driving effort [to make it so] that everything I produce is a really spliced version of ska and punk. So, [the songs are] not [structured] like an offbeat verse with a downbeat chorus, but in a single part of the song you’re going to hear both things. We switch back and forth between the upbeat and downbeat.

“From my perspective, a lot of what I write is about people taking initiative for their own life. I don’t like the idea that people have to look for someone else to blame. You need to take initiative for your own life. That’s what a lot of the songs end up being about, when I write them.” – Gene Mansour, At Both Ends We already touched on this a little bit before …

You want to inspire people to take initiative in their own lives, and to go out and make things happen. My next question is this: What type of knowledge do you think people should study in order to facilitate the evolution of our species?

GM: Woah, that’s deep. You do realize that you’re speaking to a bunch of punks right?

SM: I think people should learn how to understand how they impact everything else.

You play an infinite role in everything else that goes on in the world, so if you consider that and make small choices every day that are better for everybody, I think that would help our species progress.

GM: My opinion is that people need to look at evolution itself: how the human species progressed from caveman to what we are now, and where we’re at with evolution. I think that evolution itself now has come to point where we’re not evolving. It actually may be a negative evolution. Like Sean said, people are no longer looking at the big picture, they’re only looking at themselves. And if you don’t look at the big picture, you miss out on the important stuff.

You need to try to be open-minded, and keep learning about everything. If you don’t, you’ll revert and become a part of the negative evolution. You will not propagate your species.

SM: Also, people need to understand how energy is produced and how food is produced, and how those things are interrelated. It’s important to understand how much energy we’re consuming, not just with the lights that we turn on, but with everything we do. For example, things like soda take so much energy and resources from the world, but soda is really bad for people. Think about how much energy is used to do that, and it doesn’t have a positive result. We waste a lot of resources producing it.

What are you most looking forward to as a band?

GM: Oh, we can’t reveal that just yet. Something in the near future!

SM: [Laughing] Oh man, I almost said it right off the bat!

GM: I know, that’s why I cut you off, Sean!

[Laughing] But currently, we’re heading on a mini tour down to Southern California … We get to play with the absolute champion band Lowbrow, and some other bands that are champion bands down there.

SM: Lowbrow is amazing. People should listen to Lowbrow.

GM: Check them out. Radical music. It’s pretty exciting. But every show … I’m definitely excited for every show we play at. I think it’s an absolute honor and privilege to get out and play music in front of people. And to have at least one person dance, even if it’s Sean … That does something for me.

SM: I’m really excited about making new music.

I like the writing process, and we decided to take a break on that for a little bit, so I’m really excited to get back into that. That’s not what I was going to say first [laughing] , but that’s an answer.

GM: We will reveal such news soon.

See At Both Ends in Sacramento on Friday, July 7 at Old Ironsides with The O’Mulligans, Jesus & The Dinosaurs and Captain 9s and the Knickerbocker Trio, and on Saturday, July 8 at Cafe Colonial with Dan P. and the Bricks, Skasucks and Rebel Radio.

Reggae on the Rize Nattali Rize Will Be a Highlight of This Year’s WorldFest

Words Claudia Rivas • Photo arterium

N

o matter the genre, change is a constant among all types of music. This is especially true for reggae. Anyone unfamiliar with the genre may assume it’s only full of Bob Marley and marijuana references. But for those die-hards, they know the messages and vibrations the style reinforces are often unfairly overlooked at a time where their subjects of injustice are significant, and especially relevant for our era. The state of reggae is going through its own evolution and women artists are paving the way for its future. Hailing from Australia, Nattali Rize is one example of a female transforming the genre.

Rize (formerly known as Natalie Pa’apa’a), created her stage name based on a couple of important symbols. She decided to spell Nattali in such a way due in part to “natta,” an American Indian word meaning “speaker.” “Rize” comes from being inspired by Bob Marley’s classic tune of empowerment, “Rise Up.” If asked where she’s from, she’ll more than likely respond with, “all directions” for good reason. Growing up, she was influenced by various cultures across the globe and she continues to tour everywhere, jumping back and forth between Jamaica, Australia and beyond. She is largely based where the music is and got her start at a fairly young age with the guidance of her mother’s music taste and talents.

Her music career started as a street percussionist and transformed into being a part of bands such as Skin and Blue King Brown. She has toured, collaborated and opened up for well-known performers such as NOTIS, Carlos Santana, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Damian and Julian Marley, The John Butler Trio, The Cat Empire, Silverchair and Powderfinger. Since releasing New Era Frequency back in 2015, she has definitely kept busy.

While being a force in the world of reggae, she is also a passionate social activist who has spoken out on multiple issues affecting the world ranging from the environment to human rights.

We caught up with Nattali Rize recently and she spoke about her reggae roots, music career and admiration for Jamaica, while also giving us feedback on her brilliant sophomore album Rebel Frequency. She will be performing at the California WorldFest in Grass Valley on July 15.

How’s the tour going? The last year and a half you’ve really been on the move touring, from Australia, the United States, Europe, Japan and many places in between. Where are you right now?

It’s good. It’s good. I’ve got a free day today. We’re here in Pittsburgh right now, about to perform with Michael Franti and Spearhead at Carnegie Hall tomorrow night.

Michael Franti and Spearhead? That’s huge! Their live shows are great and full of high energy.

Yeah, yeah. We’ve been friends for a while now. It’s always a good time when we perform with them!

They’ve been big supporters even at the start.

I’ve heard your live shows are fire and have seen a sliver of that spark from YouTube videos. What are the feelings you get from performing?

I always enjoy connecting with people in the crowd and feeling the good vibrations from everyone, especially when I hear them reflecting the lyrics to the songs right back at us in places like Europe and Japan. You wouldn’t always expect that they know all the lyrics because of the language barrier, but they do, and they’re really feeling the meaning and the messages behind them on a deep level.

Is there a specific moment on tour that stands out for you?

One time Blue King Brown opened up for Carlos Santana in Australia. I get nervous, but I was really feeling it at this one in a way where I was feeling the nervous pulses go through my body. When finally Santana went on he signaled me to go on stage with them and they gave me a guitar. I wasn’t expecting it.

Where’d you get your start in music? How were you introduced to it?

Growing up, there was always music around.

Reggae, rock and soul from greats like Judy Mowatt and Aretha Franklin. My mother played the best. I was naturally obsessed with it all but also determined to learn at 13 years old. My mother was my guitar teacher and it all started from there.

What made you start really participating in the movement against global injustice? Were you always aware of the mistreatment of people around the world and concerned with helping others?

I was really conscious and aware of the injustices people faced around me. It’s been naturally a part of me from as far back as I can remember.

In many interviews, you talk of the beauties in Jamaica that transcend just its appearance, such as its communities and artistry within its people. Can you tell me more about that admiration?

For me, it’s the closest example to what sovereign communities look like. Their communities take back their power by teaching, learning and growing with each other. Whether it’s being completely selfsufficient by growing their own food with no GMOs or big corporations, it’s really inspiring. There is also this artistry among the people of Jamaica with respect for each other, their ways of self-expression, and enjoying that.

Is it too early to ask if you’re already gearing up to work on new projects?

It’s not too early! We’re planning on putting out a music video for “Rebel Frequency” soon and I’m always working on songs for future projects.

California WorldFest is a four-day musical extravaganza taking place from July 13–16 at the Nevada County Fairgrounds. Also performing will be Michael Franti and Spearhead, Seun Kuti and Egypt 80, Tommy Emmanuel and Peter Yarrow with Bethany and Rufus plus many more. Nattali Rize will perform on Saturday, July 15.

What was the process in making your latest album, Rebel Frequency, that released in March? What’s the meaning behind the title?

I was largely influenced by the current corruptions in the narrow world paradigm that we live in. Anyone that challenges the common restraints formed under governments led by systems such as capitalism is considered a rebel, whether it’s growing your own food or providing for yourself. Music is a way of really connecting ourselves to higher consciousness and to be thinking beyond the confines of mental slavery. To reach higher states of consciousness we have to reach higher states of frequencies.

– Nattali Rize on a particularly memorable live performance

My favorite song on the album is “One People.” Though the album is brilliant in its blending of dub, reggae, rock and electronic elements, the track is notable because it’s simply guitar and your voice, not many other hints of electronics. Can you tell me the process in making this song specifically?

It wasn’t going to be on the album at first.

I had made it a while back. NOTIS actually influenced me to put it in—that it had to be on it. I wasn’t going to release it as a single.

I think it really ties the tracks together in the end because it’s stripped down with just guitars and vocals. It’s about evolving consciousness and freeing yourself from the restraints of Babylon. As we grow we are able to unify and become sovereign through love and unification.

the shallow end While doing my frantic, bi-weekly Google News search trying to figure out what to write about this time (and doing my best to turn a blind eye to President Trump’s Twitter controversy du jour (because there will be 14 more until next we meet, so really, what’s the point?)), I was surprised to find this tidbit: The iPhone turned 10 on June 29.

Technology is a funny thing, because once we have something, it’s almost impossible to think of a time before we had it. The other day, I saw a discarded hunk of plastic and glass on the side of the road. What was that? I thought to myself.

Certainly, it was something familiar, but what could it be? Upon further inspection, I realized it was a television—not even all that old—but it wasn’t the kind that you most likely have in your home. It had a bulbous back from the cathode ray tubes encased inside its plastic shell. It was lying facedown on its screen, so it looked like some sort of gray, futuristic tortoise—or at least what someone living in the 1980s would imagine a futuristic tortoise would look like.

A Decade of Looking Down

Suddenly, I was flooded with memories. Yes. This was what televisions used to look like. They weren’t flat, sleek, unobtrusive things that gave off a cool bluish light. They used to dominate whatever piece of furniture you placed them on.

Their ponderous bulk dominated your living room.

I remembered many years ago when I bought my very own television for the first time—a flatscreen tube television that was, at the time, highdefinition. I remember having to move that thing around over the following few years as I moved to different apartments. It was always the first thing to get packed into the truck, because it took the most effort. It weighed a ton. I had to remember to lift with my legs, grunt and pray that I wouldn’t drop the behemoth before I got to the U-Haul. Finally, just four years later, I decided it was time to sell the thing. I posted it on Craigslist, but at first no one wanted it. I got a snarky email response from someone who was trying to be “helpful.” He/she said that I should probably lower the price because in the short time since I bought it, it was already obsolete.

I relisted it for $50. It sold in a day. I ended up dropping it off—with great effort—at the buyer’s apartment. I texted the buyer’s address to two different friends to let them know where I’d be, because it was the first time I’d ever done business via Craigslist, and I was worried that I might have been mugged or murdered or become a victim of human trafficking. (I’ve been told that I suffer from paranoid delusions, but I’d like to think that my suspicions are what have allowed me to survive this long.) I’m happy to report that none of those things happened.

All of these memories flooded back to me as I saw this discarded television. It probably cost someone a few hundred bucks when they bought it—maybe even as much as the retail price of the latest iPhone—but now it was basically unwanted junk, making the world an uglier place by becoming just another piece of litter.

Anyway, I was surprised to hear that the iPhone was only 10 years old. I thought it was much older than that. I’m not saying I thought it was as old as the tube television, but, I don’t know,

like, just not 10. I know there was a time before iPhones, and I know that I was alive during that time, I just don’t really remember what it was like.

I don’t remember what it was like just 10 years ago when everyone’s face wasn’t perpetually illuminated with that alluring blue glow. Was it better? Worse? Does it really matter, because we’re here now in a post-iPhone world. Maybe I don’t remember because as much as I piss and moan about it here, I spend plenty of time staring at my own iPhone (an iPhone 5c, by the way … and I know, I really should get a new one).

So happy birthday, iPhone. You’re possibly the most culturally significant retail product of this generation. You helped Candy Crush make the leap from an app to a primetime TV game show, which Mario Lopez certainly thanks you for. If it wasn’t for you, we never would have been introduced to Siri, who’s super fun to talk to when we’re drunk.

And, you’re small, so when you’re obsolete like that tube television I saw on the side of the road, you’ll take up a lot less space when someone just tosses you aside. If that day ever comes.
