DIVE IN SACRAMENTO AND THE SILVER SCREEN MELISSA WELLIVER melissa@submergemag.com When Game of Thrones season 7 and I’m Dying Up Here ended, I noticed there was really nothing out there that was filling my void. Sure, I’ve watched a few OK shows like Stranger Things and Vice Principals but there’s been nothing to really die for out there lately, IMO. So I’ve turned my attention to movies. My Netflix queue has been full of insanely good stuff lately, and I’ve even hit up the theater to catch a few newer flicks. (FYI, I couldn’t have agreed more with our reviewer, Blade Runner 2049 was 5 out of 5 stars!)

Now that I’ve turned my attention back to films, I’ve really enjoyed the fact that you only have to commit to the story for few hours on ONE night.

Mind-blowing, I know. Being so caught up in (aka addicted to) many different television series, I somehow forgot that.

The next film I’m excited to see on the silver screen is called Lady Bird, due out in November. It’s written and directed by Sacramento’s own Greta Gerwig. I think she’s best known for acting in films such as Frances Ha and one of my favorite releases from 2016, 20th Century Women.

I’ve really wanted to get an interview with Greta for a long time, but there wasn’t any real opportunities that made sense for us, being a local publication and all. However, with Lady Bird being a film that she wrote and directed, many parts of which were filmed in Sacramento, I felt this was the perfect opportunity to reach out to her team in hopes we could finally interview her.

At the end of October, her camp did a private red carpet screening of her film at The Tower Theatre and they invited a writer and photographer from Submerge to attend. We sent the lovely Mollie Hawkins to the screening and to chat with Greta on the red carpet. And our photographer Wes Davis was there to capture the action.

Please dive into Mollie’s feature starting on page 20 and learn more about Greta Gerwig and her film Lady Bird. It was released in select cities across the country on Nov. 3 and will be at Sacramento’s Tower Theatre starting on Friday, Nov. 10.

Please enjoy issue 252! –Melissa

CO-FOUNDER OF ART HOTEL AND ARTSTREET OPENS NEW GALLERY IN MIDTOWN SACRAMENTO A brand new, albeit somewhat temporary, art gallery is now open on J Street in the heart of Midtown Sacramento. Catherine Kleckner, who was one of the co-founders of the wildly popular Art Hotel and ArtStreet projects in Sacramento, opened the doors to CK Art Gallery just last week at 2500 J St. “After studying art around the world and working as an art consultant for several years, I am thrilled to be opening a contemporary art gallery in the heart of Sacramento (my hometown), to be working with some of my favorite artists, and sharing their talent with our community,” Kleckner stated in a press release sent to Submerge. “This is a dreamcome-true for me!”

CK Art Gallery will not only be a space to exhibit artwork in a variety of mediums, but also a retail and event space, with creative themed events in the works such as “ephemeral art experiences, Sunday brunch artist talks and ladies night out art parties.”

Local art enthusiasts will want to be sure to get in there and check it out while it’s around, because eventually the building that hosts CK Art Gallery will be torn down to make way for a new condo tower, the Yamanee project. As of press time, Kleckner was unaware of the timeline for the building project.

For Kleckner’s exciting first exhibit she is featuring 11 artists, most of whom are local, including Michele Murtaugh, Michelle Andres, William Ishmael, Shane Murphy and others. The exhibit also includes work from out-of-town artists like Sharon L. Barnes and Nancy Kanter (both from the greater Los Angeles area), and Jonah Ward (from Oakland). There will be a free Second Saturday reception on Nov. 11 from 6 to 9 p.m. The gallery’s regular hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday, and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Visit CKart-gallery. com for more information.

THREE LAST CHANCES TO PAIR YOUR BLUES WITH SOME BOURBON AT NEW TEMPORARY LOCAL CONCERT SERIES MOMO Sacramento, an event space and bar located directly above Harlow’s, has teamed up with local concert promoters Swell Productions on a new temporary Wednesday night concert series called Bourbon and Blues. The six-week run of shows kicked off Oct. 18 and continues every Wednesday through Nov. 22, giving you three more chances to check it out.

“Both blues and bourbon originate from the American South—they are a perfect match,” Swell’s Mindy Giles told Submerge. “Robert Alvis at Harlow’s/MOMO asked me to create the series. I decided on a midweek day, a low ticket price and an early time frame, 6:30 to 9 p.m. Robert came up with an unbeatable price on flights of small batch bourbon whiskeys. This way we can let blues fans and bourbon fans and people that may not be so familiar with all the shades and nuances of our great Americana genre and great American beverage a very easy way to get a swell uptown and lowdown vibe and experience both!” Admission to each show is just $5. For $25, you get entrance and a flight of three small batch bourbons!

Scheduled for Nov. 8 is Mark Hummel’s Deep Basement Shakers, from the Bay Area. On Nov. 15, Sacramento’s own The Switchblade Trio will play, and the last Bourbon and Blues show scheduled on Nov. 22 will feature local act Red’s Blues with special guest Rockin’ Johnny Burgin from Chicago on guitar.

THE OPTIMISTIC PESSIMIST THE THREADS THAT HOLD US TOGETHER Make no mistake, the holidays are stressful.

With all the traffic, lines at the mall and family drama at home, it’s a wonder we even bother saying “happy holidays” at all. Of course, we have little choice in participating, so all we can do is prepare ourselves for the oncoming storm.

During these trying times, it behooves us to get as comfortable as possible whenever we get the chance. If you don’t, you risk your head exploding, which would definitely ruin Christmas for everyone. You don’t need that shit on your plate, brothers and sisters.

No one wants to be responsible for ruining Christmas, unless they are a member of ISIS. Well, are you?

Now that we’ve cleared that up, we can get back to getting comfortable. Around my house, we get comfortable by putting on pajamas—also known as comfies, jammajammy-jams, or jammies for short. These are not the sexy clothes you put on to entice your significant other or random strangers at the strip club. Jammies are what you wear when you are home sick or not expecting anyone to come over.

Jammies do not have to be jammies in the traditional sense. For example, I wear T-shirts and basketball shorts in the summer, and switch it up to sweats or pajama bottoms in the winter. In the winter months, one of my favorite shirts is a long sleeve shirt that I’ve had forever. It’s a red ENYCE shirt with a weird blueprint thing on the back. It’s a pretty lame shirt, design-wise, but the long sleeves really sold me on it back then, and have kept me coming back time and time again.

It would be an understatement to say that this shirt has seen better days. After more than 20 years, it’s full of holes and both of the sleeves and collar are frayed at the edges. Hundreds of washes have left the graphics cracked and faded. An accidental bleach stain and the subsequent hole it left behind mark the back of the shirt and led to its original demotion from outside-wear to jammies status so many years ago. Despite all these defects, or perhaps because of them, the shirt remains one of the most comfortable I own.

HUMBLE ROOT MEDICAL CANNABIS DELIVERY

BOCEPHUS CHIGGER bocephus@submergemag.com

I think of it as well broken-in. The holes near the cuffs of the sleeves allow me to pop my thumbs through and get a fingerless glove kind of thing going on when my hands are cold.

Other holes provide for easy access scratching for nearly any itch on my upper body. The shirt has a few stains on it as well, but that just means I don’t have to worry about spilling as much. The shirt is basically perfect, and when it goes on, it doesn’t take long before I am completely and totally relaxed.

I’m lucky my red shirt still fits after all these years. I got it in high school when I was chubby and wearing baggy clothes was cool, so it still fits as good as it ever did. And that’s a good thing, because this shirt has been with me through everything, and I might not have made it through it all without its soft, warm cotton to help along the way.

I had this shirt when I graduated high school and went off to college. I wore it while studying for all sorts of midterms, finals and eventually even the bar exam. I took it with me to nine countries and at least as many states. I never know when I am going to need it and the things that it can do.

The shirt is far too wrecked to be worn in public, but that is not really what it’s for. I wear it when the house is cold after a long day of work. I wear it when I’m sick. I wear it when I feel stressed out or depressed. I wear it when I am away and miss home. When I need to be comforted or comfortable, when I am feeling vulnerable and want to be put at ease, this is the shirt I go for. It always makes me feel better.

This situation is not unique to me. Most of us have an article of clothing like my red shirt. Yours may be blue or green, older or newer, or it may not be a shirt at all. Whatever it may be, the feeling you get when you put it on is all the same. To you, it’s more than just a piece of clothing; it’s a part of who you are and where you’ve been. That’s why it’s stuck around in your closet long past its due date.

I’ll probably keep mine until it’s reduced to shreds, but I don’t want to think about that now. The hell of the holidays are upon us and I am going to need my red shirt to get me through the end of the year.

If you could sum up Lynnz Perry’s art in one word, you’d have to call it bold. Thick black lines and striking colors seem to make Perry’s choices of subjects—birds, skulls, dinosaurs and an assortment of fantastical characters—come to life. Her first solo exhibit, Transcend the Void, is currently on view at The University Union Gallery at Sacramento State (6000 J St.). The work in this exhibit, according to the artist’s statement, stems from her fascination with lines. “A line can be rigid but also have the fluidity of life,” Perry, a self-taught artist, writes. “I have fallen in love with many a work simply for a single brush stroke, for a miniscule pencil mark, for an overlooked substrate of one’s consciousness taking shape.” Transcend the Void will be on view until Nov. 16. Gallery hours are Monday–Friday from 10:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m., with added late hours from 5–8 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday. You can check out Perry’s work online at either Facebook.com/lynnzsart or on Instagram (@ tofuthiefzzz), but do yourself a favor and head down to the University Union to see it in person while you can.

In recent years, there’s been an emphasis on healthy eating, and rightfully so. However, sometimes you’ve just gotta put the kale and quinoa down and gorge yourself on a heaping helping of fried chicken. Hey, what’s the point of being healthy if you can’t enjoy yourself once in a while? And what better place to indulge yourself than Roxy Restaurant and Bar (2381 Fair Oaks Blvd., Sacramento)? Every Sunday for just $40, you and a date can chow down on their juicy fried chicken, drizzled with pomegranate molasses and equally mouthwatering sides and a “bubbly” fruit cobbler for dessert. You can even add a bottle of house wine for just $15 more.

If that’s not the recipe for a little autumn romance, we don’t know what is. Roxy prides itself on using locally grown, organic ingredients, so you don’t have feel too guilty about your guilty pleasure. For more info, go to Facebook.com/roxyrestaurantandbar.

Danny Secretion’s Annual “Fuck Cancer” Benefit Shows Return for Five Nights in a Row! • Nov. 15–19 Danny Secretion isn’t only just a stalwart of the Sacramento punk rock scene, he’s also a pretty swell guy. So swell, in fact, that he’s once again throwing what is sure to be an epic, five-day birthday bash that will not only rock your socks (if you’re wearing socks), but also benefit the American Cancer Society. This year, you’ll be able to wish Danny a happy birthday and hoist a giant middle finger to cancer at five venues in the Sacramento area: Wednesday, Nov. 15 will be hosted by The Powerhouse Pub (614 Sutter St., Folsom) and will feature performances by The Nickel Slots, California Riot Act and others. Head down to The Press Club (2030 P St., Sacramento) for The Ghost Town Rebellion, a comedy set by Submerge’s own Robert Berry and more on Nov. 16. Kevin Seconds, Slattern V (featuring members of Mr. T Experience and Groovie Ghoulies) and others will usher in a night of punk rock goodness at Old Ironsides (1901 10 th St., Sacramento) on Nov. 17. Cafe Colonial and The Colony (3520 Stockton Blvd., Sacramento) will host an all-ages show featuring Kill the Precedent, The Danny Secretion Band and more on Nov. 18. Finally, on Nov. 19 at Blue Lamp (1400 Alhambra Blvd., Sacramento) you can get down with Sparks Across Darkness, Hobo Johnson, Ode to Saturday and more. Another great feature of all these shows is that you’ll be able to attend each one for a sliding scale of $5–$20, so you can have a great time for a great cause whether or not you have a lot of disposable cash.

This steel sailing vessel, inspired by packet ships that sailed the Atlantic Coast, was built in ye olde late 1980s (in Hawaii of course), and has been delighting and educating adventurous spirits of all ages ever since.

This ship is so popular that the Nov. 18 Voyage of Explorers Sail has already sold out; however, the Hawaiian Chieftain is still open for tours throughout the month of November, from Tuesday–Friday after 4 p.m. (closed on Thanksgiving Day) and on Saturdays from 10 a.m.–1 p.m. You can even book a private sail on the Chieftain by calling (800) 200-5239. Just don’t get carried away and start plundering. That’s a crime.

STRUCTURE & CHAOS THE VISUAL ART OF LOCAL MUSICIAN JONATHON BAFUS WORDS NIKI KANGAS • PHOTOS SAM ITHURBURN

J

onathon Bafus considers himself a musician first, but he’s also a talented painter. The Sacramento artist tends to blur the lines between music and art when it comes to his creative process. Typically, you start with an idea as a springboard, but as you dive in, the idea shapeshifts so that concept meets reality. But art is tangible, and music is not. What happens in an audio landscape is a moment in time that passes; changes in visual landscapes are permanently recorded in layers of paint, even if painted over. Bafus enjoys where these worlds collide, and how they differ, and so he makes time for both art forms.

Fittingly, Gentleman Surfer, the band Bafus plays drums for, selfdescribes their music as “adventure music.” When pressed for a comparative description, Bafus says the closest artists would be Frank Zappa and Devo— both highly artistic performers, though those muses are always changing for Bafus, musically. Gentleman Surfer just completed recording a new album, Hard Pass, a couple of weeks ago, for which an album release party is currently in the works.

Bafus’ brightly-colored, geometric yet organic works will be on display at WAL Public Market (1104 R St.) for a month, beginning First Friday, Nov. 3, in a solo show entitled Cubic Fruit Plate. Each piece featured in the exhibition has the capacity to induce a trance-like state as you stare at the shapes created in structure and chaos.

A Foothills native, Bafus now lives in the Warehouse Artist Lofts with his fiancée, Trisha Rhomberg—a fellow artist and co-owner of local boutique Old Gold—and their 3-year-old daughter, Elide. We sat down to discuss Bafus’ process and passion for art, in hopes that you, our readers, will go take a gander at his awesome show this month while you can.

Issue 252 • November 6 – November 20, 2017

Do you plan shapes and design ahead of time or does it take form as you go?

A little of both. I usually start with a very basic idea, and there will be a couple of shapes I want to work around or some sort of overall balance I want to create, but once I start making a couple of the forms, I’ll work off that and change my mind a bit as I go. It becomes pretty organic and the choices aren’t terribly difficult once it gets going.

When it gets toward the end of it, the choices get harder and the room for error gets slimmer. I’m a slow and methodical painter. It’s about the process for me, and it’s meditative, so I’m not really worried about how long it takes. It’s done when it’s done.

Do you ever get to the end part and fuck up? Do you work with it or scrap it when that happens?

I don’t usually scrap the whole thing; I will end up changing a whole part of a painting based on one mistake, though. It’s when you get to the end that it becomes critical, and that’s when I start cursing out loud the most. Usually I’m on the floor on my stomach, with a flashlight in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, looking at it from, like, an inch away, burning a hole in my eyes. That’s the only way I can look at it at that point to make sure the edges are right.

You talk in your artist bio about being interested in structure and chaos. Can you talk a little more about that?

That really applies more to my music. It’s true of art, too, but a snail-paced version of that, and I can always fix things. When you’re playing music, you can’t fix things; they just happen the way they happen.

What materials do you use when you paint?

I just use acrylic, and I usually paint on canvas or panel. I’m back and forth between the two. I can’t fully decide which one I like the best. An analogy is my drum kit that I use. I have a few things that I like for different reasons, and I always go back and forth. So when I’m on canvas, I’m like, “Oh man!

I can’t believe I don’t always use this!” Then I go back to the panel and I’m like, “Why haven’t I been using this the whole time?! It feels totally different and so cool.”

I don’t tape edges or anything, I just use brushes and get real close. I’m totally obsessed with brightness and opacity. You’d probably never be able to tell, but I go over the areas on paintings, like multiple times. It’s sort of the only way I can be pleased with it and not see the light shining through.

Dive Into Sacramento & Its Surrounding Areas

Does your daughter get into doing art and music with you?

She loves painting and coloring and stuff.

Coloring a little more. Music we’ve dabbled [with] a little bit. She’s got a toddler’s attention span, so she’ll try stuff out for a minute, at best, and want to move on. So I’ll get all this paint stuff out and lay out a mat, and she’ll paint for, like, three minutes and be done. Or I’ll put her at the drums and she’ll tap around for 30 seconds and be satisfied. It is something we do together. I can tell she’s interested. At that age, they just want to try stuff out.

How do you balance fatherhood, work, music and art?

It’s really hard. Right now I’m a stay at home dad, which I’ve been doing since January. It’s different and I really like it, but it’s stressful in its own way. It feels harder than going to a day job, because I care about it more, obviously.

It’s got a whole emotional rollercoaster element because I’m not—I hate to say it, but— phoning it in like I would at some day job. I haven’t really found the job of my dreams that I’ve worked at yet, so it’s usually just kind of getting it done and going home.

The balance thing is really hard. With painting, I’ve kind of had to prioritize, and so I don’t paint much. Every once in a while I get into a big creativity spurt, but generally I have to choose. Music is something I have to do every day. Painting is something I can live without every day, although I would like to do it constantly. I hadn’t painted in quite a while before the beginning of this year, and then I started trying to do more, and I got some encouragement to do more. I’ve had to trade in a lot of days of practice that I wish I’d had.

There’s sort of an anxiousness thing.

Playing drums is an essential part of my daily well-being. If I don’t do it for a couple days, I start to feel really anxious and everything is just off. But I don’t feel like I’m going to explode if I miss a day painting. I envision myself painting constantly when I’m an old man and I can’t do anything else. That’s my distant dream.

Jonathon Bafus' solo exhibit Cubic Fruit Plate is on display now through the end of the month at WAL Public Market, located at 1104 R St. in Sacramento. The market, which also features a number of local eateries and shops, is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday's.

MAKING A RACQUET

TENNIS SERVES UP ACES WITH THEIR OWN LABEL, NEW EP WORDS DANIEL ROMANDIA PHOTO LUCA VENTER

W

hen it comes to performing live or working under deadlines, many musicians know that anxiety and panic attacks are occupational hazards. For Alaina Moore of the Denver pop band Tennis, her anxieties came, aptly, while she was writing a song about anxiety.

The track in question, “I Miss That Feeling,” is featured on Tennis’ upcoming EP We Can Die Happy, and was originally intended for the duo’s latest LP Yours Conditionally, but kept giving Moore trouble.

“I thought it would be easy and it wasn’t,” Moore says. “It just kept evading me. It’s one of those songs where I think I wanted too much out of it.”

Determined to have the track make We Can Die Happy, Moore pushed herself to get the song done in just the way she wanted in time to be included. The final bit of encouragement to finish came in the form of a panic attack Moore had during a yoga class.

“Obviously,” Moore says. “I was not calm or meditative at all.”

The panic attack eventually subsided after Moore was given immediate support from her yoga instructor, and she finished the track and EP. “It was worth one panic attack,” Moore says.

Moore would be the first to say that her own songwriting habits don’t tend to help the anxiety surrounding her work process. Only about half of the songs that make up We Can Die Happy were finished when she and Patrick Riley— Moore’s husband and bandmate—entered the studio.

“That’s my greatest hindrance,” Moore says. “I’m just the slowest, most laborious songwriter and I, like, never commit to anything. So this was good practice for me.”

The EP is set to be released on Mutually Detrimental, a label the husband and wife started to release Yours Conditionally and to become more independent.

Moore and Riley were feeling rundown by labels and the music industry as a whole after the release of their third LP Ritual in Repeat, so they decided to go sailing in the Pacific Ocean.

Moore says that the traditional setup of a label giving high-interest loans to a band is completely unreasonable. Bands could, in theory, get a more sensible loan from a bank and be able to keep the intellectual property to their music once the loan has been paid. It would be easy to say that a label then puts in a lot of work of which artists are not familiar, but Moore has ideas for that as well. “I would want to use our network for bands to release their own music,�

Moore says. “We wouldn’t be putting up money or taking percentage or licenses or anything, because I don’t think that’s in the spirit of artmaking. I don’t want to be a venture capitalist.�

None of this, however, is set to happen in the near future. It’s mainly Moore’s dream of being helpful and supportive of an art community that she has been part of for years.

For now, she has plenty more to focus on with Tennis. The duo’s touring schedule has been nearly entirely booked since the release of their last album.

They played Coachella, went on a stint of supporting Spoon and the Shins, as well as a slew of headlining tour dates that are continuing into at least February of next year. “I always feel so baffled [by being able to tour] , like, I don’t think I’m interesting enough,� Moore says. “I’m like, ‘you guys are still coming to these shows and I don’t know what you see, but thank you so much.’�

Moore and Riley keep their live show antics simple but are perfectionists when it comes to their sound. “We don’t have any fancy lights, I can’t dance or have any outfit changes or whatever. I don’t crowd surf,� Moore says. “I’m always completely awed that anybody keeps coming to our shows.�

As time goes on, Tennis will be able to help build an artistic community. They’ve had growing success and feel confident in banking on themselves for the foreseeable future. Music is an art and art deserves a community of love, support and guidance—the kind of guidance that Tennis wants to one day provide.

For now, they are more than happy to be able to create what they want to create on their own terms. They are artists in the truest sense because finances take a backseat to the quality of the music.

Mutually Detrimental, and the music they’ve released with the label, has been nothing but beneficial.

de

Hitting the open seas isn’t a first for the band—a sailing trip along the Eastern Seaboard in 2010 is what inspired the two to start Tennis. “The world of living aboard a ship and sailing is so deeply demanding and immersive, and the same is true of writing and touring a record,� Moore says. “It was right when we were hitting that burnout from our third record that we were like, ‘OK, I’m ready to sail again.’�

Both wondered if this trip would mean the end of the group, but they would have accepted that as an outcome since they felt unfulfilled in their professional lives at that point. “It felt like we were working in the wrong direction,� Moore says. “We didn’t even know what it would look like to make it feel good again and have it actually fit our lives.�

The end of their excursion did not mean the end of the “baby indie band,� as Moore describes them, but the beginning of a whole new chapter. They were inspired again and went right back into writing music, except this time they were going to go it alone.

Moore and Riley handled their own production, licensing and pretty much everything behind creating their fourth album. After years of having help and some sense of security from labels, Tennis became a completely DIY band that focused more on artistic satisfaction than fiscal security. “I really, really love being my own boss, and so does Patrick,� Moore says. “I feel so fulfilled and satiated. Every little thing that we do, it feels OK if that’s the last thing ever.�

Moore and Riley found that signing with major labels didn’t work for them, but they also don’t see how it works for almost any indie artist. They even named their label Mutually Detrimental as a slight at the music industry. “You hear of these horrible major label deals that ruin the career of an up-and-coming band where everyone ends up miserable,� says Moore. “A label has artists who hate them and don’t give them good work. The artist’s career gets stilted or ruined and, yet, people are still signing these same old deals as if it’s 1962.�

That’s why Moore and Riley gave Mutually Detrimental the slogan “bad for everyone.�

The label is only releasing music from Tennis for now, and it might stay that way for some time. Moore says that they aren’t looking to sign any other acts right now because of finances, but they also don’t want to put other artists in the position of being under the pressure of a label—even if said label is run by fellow musicians. “I think that a label should be like a paved road, and bands should walk themselves down it,� Moore says.

THE GOOD LIFE KEEPS ON GIVING

COLLIE BUDDZ WEEDS OUT THE HATERS ON NEW LP WORDS NUR KAUSAR PHOTO PHIL EMERSON

S

uperstardom hasn’t changed Collie Buddz much over the last 10 years, but the world in which he works has made significant strides, to his benefit.

Buddz’s music is steeped in the reggae traditions he grew up inspired by, and that muse bleeds into both hip-hop and house cuts throughout his catalog.

“Whether you call it tropical house or dance hall, I feel like reggae influences everything and is more prevalent in mainstream than ever,” Buddz says. “For me, mood music is very important. Depending on how one is feeling or what one is doing, there is always a perfect soundtrack. I think a big part of reggae’s appeal is its unique ability to cover all the bases for any mood. Also the underlying core reggae principles of equality, healthy living and conscious thinking are very important, and the more eyes and ears we get on them the better.”

The 33-year-old American/Bermudian (born Colin Patrick Harper) says he has always worked toward a goal of making great music, but notes that building a brand and diversifying is important for any business.

To that end, a series of smart career and collaboration choices, along with little controversy (if you ignore the whole federal marijuana prohibition thing), have allowed Buddz to build a good life that he says is complete with his wife and two children. Buddz brings a lightness and happiness to his fans in his latest album, Good Life, and recent tours.

“We actually just finished a summer amphitheater tour with Rebelution, Nahko and Medicine for the People,” Buddz notes. “We hit the East and West Coasts on that one and my sides still hurt from all the laughing.”

Good Life dropped this summer, and is Buddz’s first album released from his record label, Harper Digital Entertainment, in another one of his major career moves.

In addition to his first big, independent release, Buddz has started a radio station that is local to Bermuda with 10,000 daily listeners and also streams internationally online (at Vibe103.com), his own marijuana strain (“Bermuda Triangle”), trendy clothing and merch, and a unique sound that keeps up with what’s hot in today’s market.

“I have many interests and only 24 hours in a day, so on the business side my strategy is very simple: Work with people who I first and foremost like and believe in and that are experts in their respective fields,” Buddz says.

18

Issue 252 • November 6 – November 20, 2017

“Surrounding myself with the right team and letting everyone play their part has worked for me. Although vastly different, all my business ventures have a natural synergy between each other with the people being the secret sauce. My music career or any of my business ventures would not be possible without the support of my wife and family.”

Buddz’s collaborations on Good Life include Bay Area rapper P-Lo, Miami rapper Kat Dahlia, singer Kreesha Turner, Jody Highroller (aka Riff Raff) and Snoop Dogg rapping on the track “Yesterday.”

This is Buddz’s third collaboration with Snoop, though they have yet to meet in person.

“For this song, Riff Raff reached out to me via Twitter about doing a song together,” Buddz says. “He sent me the beat and the hook and I instantly liked it. I laid down my part and then he got Snoop on there and the rest is history.”

The 10 songs on the album each have a slightly different sound, and perhaps only the last track, “Glass House,” has a traditional reggae feel, though accented by more electronic riffs. The album opener, “Control,” is a blend of reggae, pop and Latin music.

Highlights of the album include the title track, and “I Got You,” a sweet love song with cute Caribbean references like, “You’re hot like a Scotch bonnet pepper.”

Ten years ago, Buddz started behind the scenes, getting a degree in music engineering and helping artists in Bermuda record. He entered the reggae scene rapping in his deep Caribbean accent about weed, snagging major collaborations and a Sony record deal. With his first hit, “Come Around,” listeners noticed. His fan base grew quickly, but the topic of weed was still taboo.

A comical exchange between Harper and NPR reporter Michel Martin about “Come Around” in a 2007 interview captures the sentiment of the time: Martin: So Collie, “Come Around,” a great song. Congratulations on the hit.

Buddz: Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that.

Martin: And what’s it about, again?

Buddz: Well, mercy, you want me to explain it on the air?

Martin: We could say it’s about the pleasures of getting weed again after a dry spell. Is that right?

Buddz: Yeah. Yes, that’s exactly what it’s about.

Martin does jab Buddz later about his usage, noting he could come up with a title for his album had he not been smoking so much, and she also sheds light on the “haters” he’s witnessed in the business because he’s white.

Fast forward to 2017, and those comments may not be as relevant, considering Buddz’s success across races and the changes to the marijuana industry.

“One huge difference is that back in the day it was very taboo to even discuss being in the marijuana business,” he says. “Traveling the world performing music, I have had the opportunity to meet some of the best farmers, enthusiasts and other entrepreneurs and have been very selective with whom I work.

Nowadays there is a lot of green-related business ‘opportunities’ thrust my way.

Understanding which ones to pass on are just as important as which ones to take.”

Buddz says the differences in legalities within states is often confusing and tricky to navigate. He understands different communities need to decide on what’s right for them, but does take issue with bans on medicinal use.

“Ultimately, the plant has so many undeniable medicinal, recreational and just utilitarian qualities that I am proud to have been and continue to be on the forefront of ushering in the end of prohibition.”

Reggae music and the marijuana industry often blend together, and that sentiment resonates on Good Life. The album is supposed to be a reflection of his life for the last 10 years, and his commitment to working toward solutions for living well.

“As an artist, I have the unique ability to express myself using music as an outlet and I hope to continue to make music that serves as an outlet for others to get through difficult times,” Buddz says. “Most of the problems I am addressing are fairly common, day-to-day issues. Living right, eating healthy and just progressing and striving to get better everyday.”

Another standout to Buddz’s creative package is the artwork accompanying the new record and its supporting tour. Buddz worked with Ineffable Music Group for the cover design and lyric video for the title track. The final design is a very hip, very now tropical vibe, reminiscent of what the latest restaurants, interior decorators and fashion designers are creating.

“With this being my first independent release, I really wanted to have a cohesive campaign that would be digestible for all and I was very happy with the outcome,” Buddz says.

The campaign will continue with Buddz’s West Coast tour starting at the end of November. He hits Sacramento Friday, Dec. 1 at Ace of Spades, followed by shows in the Bay Area, the Central Coast and Humboldt County.

Buddz will be selling his new strain, “The Swizzle,” at his California shows for those wanting to fully partake in the Collie Buddz experience.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART—AND TAMALES—ARE LADY BIRD IS GRETA GERWIG’S LOVE LETTER TO SACRAMENTO WORDS MOLLIE HAWKINS

“D

o I look like I’m from Sacramento?” begins Lady Bird, the film that marks the directorial debut of Sacramento native Greta Gerwig. Despite the protagonist’s deepest convictions that Sacramento is only worth it if you have a house in the Fab 40s, Lady Bird is one of the most beautiful love letters ever to be written about our city (I mean, there’s probably not many of those floating around, but that’s beside the point).

For the hometown premiere/sneak peek of Lady Bird, which took place at— where else—the Tower Theatre, Gerwig did more than just send a love letter to Sacramento. She delivered it herself, making her way down the (short) red carpet surrounded by flashing cameras and onlookers, heading to dinner at the neighboring Tower Café. And true to the Sacramento spirit, Gerwig took an Uber.

After appearing in more than 25 films including Frances Ha (2012), which she co-wrote with Noah Baumbach, Greenberg (2010), To Rome With Love (2012), Jackie (2016) and 20th Century Women (2016), Gerwig has an impressive stack of credits as an actress and cowriter. Lady Bird is her first time writing and directing a feature film. And holy cow(town), are critics loving it.

20

Wearing a simple black dress and silver heels, Gerwig gave the impression that she was on her way to her first school dance and she was nervous, but it was the kind of nervous that Molly Ringwald owned in every John Hughes movie in the ‘80s. Gerwig was still the coolest girl in the room. And she was happy to be here. She leaned in as I peppered her with questions about Sacramento. “I love it here. I was raised here, my family is here, I hate that I don’t get back enough,” she said.

Lady Bird is a coming-of-age story about a very confident Catholic-highschool senior, Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson, played by a feisty Saoirse Ronan, who hates Sacramento, hates her all-girl Catholic school and hates her mother—played by a wounded-yet-tough Laurie Metcalf. Lady Bird is hell-bent on getting the fuck out of Dodge.

Just like Lady Bird, Gerwig attended an all-girl Catholic school (St. Francis High School, where else?) in the early 2000s, where she undoubtedly hung out in the same places as her leading lady in the film.

While this movie is not an autobiographical depiction of Gerwig’s teenage years, there are emotional similarities and parallels within her own life.

“There’s going to be a lot here that you

recognize,” she laughed as she addressed the Tower Theatre, filled with friends and family, which made the sentiments all that more sweet. According to Gerwig, her firstever crush was also sitting in the theater (watch out, Noah Baumbach!).

Gerwig said Lady Bird is a love story, but not in the traditional sense.

“I wanted this to be a love story between a mother and a daughter,” she said. “I feel like that’s such a beautiful, complicated, amazing relationship that doesn’t get enough time in movies. We treat it like it’s a side-note to the main story, which is usually a romance for a woman. But what if that’s the main romance? I mean, I think everybody knows that moment in a movie where a person runs through the airport looking for someone, but what if it’s a mother looking for a daughter?”

As the two central characters in the film bicker and disagree with each other as mothers and daughters do, Gerwig said the chemistry between Ronan and Metcalf was on-point from the beginning.

“When Saoirse read the script she contacted me and said, ‘I know I’m from a tiny town in Ireland, but I’m telling you, I know this story. I know it in my bones.

I know I can do this,’” Gerwig explained.

“And she was right.”

“It sounds ridiculous, but when I decided I wanted to direct this film, it was like that scene in Karate Kid when he realizes he can do karate when he’s waxing the cars. I was the Karate Kid.” – Greta Gerwig on her first effort as a writer/director, Lady Bird

As for Metcalf, who nails the part of the prickly-yet-lovable Marion, “After I offered her the role, she said, ‘I currently have a 17-year-old who is trying to kill me, so let’s do this movie,’” Gerwig recalled.

Gerwig’s goal was to have her characters be nothing more than real.

“The daughter can be a jerk, it doesn’t mean she’s a jerk completely. You can say the wrong thing and want to take it back,” she said. “If you try to paint it as all ‘perfect,’ the love wouldn’t seem real. And the love seems real because these are not perfect people. And there are no perfect people.”

Gerwig knows a thing or two about getting those real emotions out on the screen. In an essay she wrote for The New York Times Magazine titled “One Scene, 42 Takes and 2 Hours in a Bathroom Stall,” Gerwig broke down each take of a particular scene in Frances Ha that she couldn’t get right. She described the painstaking frustrations of understanding the need to perform well, but not being able to because she was too busy getting in her own way. This experience fueled her empathy while writing and directing Lady Bird.

“Every moment—in front of the camera and behind the camera—I’ve spent on set, I use as my own film school,” she said.

“It sounds ridiculous, but when I decided I wanted to direct this film, it was like that scene in Karate Kid when he realizes he can do karate when he’s waxing the cars. I was the Karate Kid. I knew it instinctively, and I had on-the-job training watching other people work. I was so lucky to have been around so many great directors, cinematographers and production designers. They taught me how much work it is, but also how much joy it is to see it come to life.”

While Lady Bird may be a fictional character, Sacramento rings true in this film—from the Tower Bridge, to familiar murals on bodega exteriors, to houses in the 40s, to That Rose Garden Everyone Takes Their Parents to When They Visit.

“With Sacramento, there are specific streets I love, places I love and murals I know—all these details were important to the story,” Gerwig said. “And when I brought my crew from L.A. to Sacramento, they were all checking Zillow to see if they could get a home here!”

And Gerwig pulled no punches when her Lady Bird characters crack jokes that only locals would appreciate (a character response to a high school girl driving a Land Rover: “They should outlaw those things. They’re not off-roading. They’re

going to the Pavilions.” Or Lady Bird’s mother telling her to just go to City College, then jail, then back to City College). The film is chock-full of hometown gems that will have every patron in the theater nodding voraciously, or in some cases simply stating, “Oh honey, I know.”

“I wanted to capture something that I couldn’t understand in a profound way until I was leaving. The older I got, the more I appreciated what an incredible place this is,” Greta said. “This was really a desire to make a movie about home, and home is something that you can really only understand as you’re leaving, and you can’t really understand how much you love it and how much it meant to you. Sacramento is that place to me. This is that love letter.”

But like any good love letter, there are a lot of painful truths in this tale. Beyond the mother-daughter struggle, this film tackles betrayal, disappointing sex (which Lady Bird is assured is going to happen a lot in her future) and the stupid things teenagers do in reaction to simple obstacles in life. In fact, Gerwig remarked that, “with every character in the movie, I wanted it to seem like every single character is in the middle of their own opera, and if you followed any one character they could have their own movie.”

One thing Gerwig does not do is feed the stereotype of the Catholic school experience.

“I have actually known a lot of groovy nuns and priests in my life,” she said.

“They were thoughtful and empathetic. I think sometimes they get reduced to their role or their outfit. I wanted them to seem like people.”

Speaking of human nature, I asked Gerwig a typical question: What do you have to do when you visit Sacramento? Her answer came quick. “I go to Tres Hermanas.

I went this morning and ate tamales at 11 a.m.,” she said without shame, and in this moment I saw Lady Bird in real life.

Sacramento salutes your good taste in Mexican food, Greta.

Perhaps one of the most stunning takeaway moments in this film (besides Gerwig admitting she almost added a title card at the end saying, Call your mother!) is when Lady Bird is meeting with Sister Sarah Joan, the school principal, who tells Lady Bird she is impressed with her detailed essay for a college scholarship: “It’s clear how much you love Sacramento,” says the nun. “I guess I pay attention,” responds a surprised Lady Bird. “Don’t you think they’re the same thing?” asks the wise nun.

Indeed, maybe they are.

THE SHALLOW END ARABIAN KNIGHTS Given our own state of daily political turmoil here at home, it’s almost comforting to look abroad and see that we’re not the only dysfunctional country in the world. OK, maybe “comforting” is too strong of a word. It’s such a global society at this point that it’s just a matter of time before one person’s chaos leads to your own personal upheaval. Such is the case in Saudi Arabia where 11 of the country’s princes (holy shit, how many do they have?), four ministers and a whole bunch of former ministers were arrested on “corruption” charges in what may be a mad grab at power consolidation by current Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The first thing that struck me about this, other than Saudi Arabia having at least a dozen princes, is that anyone who bears the title of prince still has this kind of pull. Like, when you think of the princes in the United Kingdom, all they seem to be good at is landing tabloid headlines or gorgeous society wives. They can’t confine you to the Tower of London on some trumped-up charge or assemble a cavalry to storm a French bastille … or can they? You see, I don’t even know. I mean, unless you’re a sleeping beauty in need of waking from a witch-induced slumber, you probably don’t have that much use for a prince, and that’s probably for the best.

Apparently that’s not the case with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed.

At just 32, he’s become the king’s favorite son and has amassed a whole lot of influence over the military and foreign, economic and social policies. As if this really was some ancient fairy tale meant to teach us some arcane moral, the young Crown Prince’s assent to the throne has not come without ruffling the feathers of some of the older princes, including the flamboyant Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, one of the richest men in the world and one of the men rounded up in Crown Prince Mohammed’s purge.

Sure, all this prince-on-prince drama may be titillating—who doesn’t love all these powerful people scuffling against one another—but really who cares, right? Saudi Arabia is, like, far, and if you’re anything like me (and I’ll assume you are because I’m a self-centered prick) you’re probably wondering: How does this affect me? Well, it probably doesn’t directly, but it’s worth noting that Prince Alwaleed is not only one of the richest people in the world, he’s also the head of the Kingdom Holding investment firm and is a major stakeholder in companies you’ve probably heard of: Citigroup, Apple, Twitter and others. His arrest could have repercussions on the global economic

JAMES BARONE jb@submergemag.com

scene, which could have an adverse effect on your investments. But if you have enough money to have investments, you’ll probably be fine … or maybe you have a 401(k) or something, and this could be the reason it shrinks a little bit next quarter. Hey, don’t worry, you’ll probably never have enough money to retire anyway, so take solace in that.

How about possible political ramifications?

Well, it’s pretty easy to figure out where Saudi Arabia stands on most issues. Women were just given the right to drive in that country, which I guess just puts them a hair to the right of the Tea Party on the political spectrum. Other than that, the country’s politics are probably just tied to whatever is good for oil, because that’s pretty much its cash cow. However, it should be noted that the Crown Prince is doing his best to change that. He’s been making an effort to move forward past an oil-dependent economy. In late October, he unveiled NEOM, an “unrivaled concept, unmatched in intelligence, unconstrained by history and built on humanity’s greatest resource: imagination,” according to the project’s official website, Discoverneom.com.

NEOM’s vision statement includes even broader strokes, including creating a “new blueprint for sustainable life on a scale never seen before.”

But before you think of the Crown Prince as a progressive, what with all this sustainable living and car-driving women and all, it should be noted that he’s been pretty buddy-buddy with our own, anti-progress leadership. He’s developed a “warm, mutually supportive relationship” with President Trump, according to The New York Times (I know, there I go reading that crap again) and shares our president’s aggression toward Iran (another shining bastion of hopes and dreams).

Meanwhile, the incarcerated Prince Alwaleed has been outspoken on a lot of things, notably calling out Trump via Twitter during the quagmire that was our last presidential campaign, calling the now U.S. President a disgrace. In case you were wondering, Jared Kushner and other senior White House officials visited Saudi Arabia last month for some undisclosed meetings, but I’m sure that’s totally unrelated to these arrests … I mean, it’s gotta be just a coincidence, right?

So what does this mean for you and me?

Probably nothing. Probably everything. Probably both at the same time. You know what, just to be on the safe side, just start buying gold, stuffing your mattresses with loose change and stocking up on those canned foods. Just in case.
