WEEZER BRINGS
FUN, PIXIES TO TOWN Ed Condran for Triangle Today
Ask and you shall receive. A Weezer fan, who became obsessed with Toto’s “Africa,” a hit from a generation ago, asked her favorite band repeatedly to cover the tune. Thanks to the power of social media, the members of Weezer received her message. “This girl tweeted us saying it was about time for us to cover ‘Africa,’” bassist Scott Shriner says. “She was persistent. She’s a bassist, which is always a good thing, and she really pushed it and we decided to give it a shot.” “Africa” is Weezer’s first hit in years. “We have no complaints,” Shriner says. “It’s a fun song to do but contrary to popular belief, we’re a Check out the quartet’s classic 1996 release “Pinkerton,” which is loaded with funny and catchy pop-rock such as “Pink Triangle” and “The Good Life.” “It’s a really good time being in this band,”
Shriner says. “And we’re so stable as a band.” Shriner is the only musician who isn’t an original member, though he became part of Weezer in 2001, joining original members vocalist-guitarist Rivers Cuomo, guitarist Brian Bell and drummer Patrick Wilson. The group, which has recorded such idiosyncratic pop-rock hits as “Buddy Holly,” “Hash Pipe” and Pork and Beans” formed a quarter-century ago. That’s the year the Pixies broke up. The seminal band, which influenced countless recording artists, reunited a little more than a decade ago and is co-headlining with Weezer July 24 at the Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek. “The Pixies had a huge impact on every member of this band,” Shriner says. “When we met those guys it was the first time I ever saw Pat awestruck. How can you not be awestruck? Charles (Pixies frontman Black Francis aka Frank Black aka Charles
Weezer is co-headlining with The Pixies July 24 at the Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek. Jeremy Cowart Thompson) has written some of the most amazing songs ever. When I first heard the Pixies, their music changed my life.” Expect a new album at some point in the future from Weezer. “We’re always working on new music,” Shriner says. “We’ll release an album sooner than later but for now there’s ‘Africa.’ We also recorded Toto’s ‘Rosanna.’ ’ Those songs are so much fun to play.” The Toto hits are from the ‘80s, and the

Pixies became underground music icons during the Reagan era. “The ‘80s were an amazing time for music,” Shriner says. “Some people bash the ‘80s but they don’t know what they’re talking about. Music from that period helped shape us and it continues to impact us as we’re about to enter another decade.” Read the full article and get performance details at triangletoday.com.

Here at Kids Town, we care about your family’s health. So we’ve come up with some fun ways that your family can get fit (and stay fit!) together - no pricey gym memberships or fancy devices required! INSIDE THE HOUSE: STAIRCASE CHALLENGE (for kids able to safely climb stairs): Start a competition to see who can climb the most flight of stairs in one week! Make a poster with all of your names and add a tally for every flight of stairs climbed (tack it at the top of the staircase). Winner gets a prize of a predetermined value at the end of the week! HOPSCOTCH FUN: You may have forgotten about the cardio and balance exercise known as hopscotch! Your kids will get an incredible amount of joy out of this simple game, as will you! A hopscotch board can be created indoors on a rainy or hot day by using masking tape on the basement floor. Or, for a hopscotch game that’s easier on your knees, attach some numbered pieces of paper to some foam mats, and get hopping! DANCE PARTY: A perennial living room favorite, a dance party is sure to get your heart thumping! Turn up the music and let everyone practice their wildest movies! For variation, create a
themed dance party — salsa music, 1970’s, or follow along with some Irish step dancing on YouTube, if you really want to raise your heart rate! OUTDOORS: HEAD TO A PARK: Enjoy some local recreation and play basketball, soccer, or even volleyball together. Or run around on the playground like you’re a child again - play Tag or Chase! (There’s a reason why these games are classics!) RUN IN THE SAND: For a summertime exercise that will increase everyone’s endurance, turn your lazy day at the beach into an active play session! Do short sprints parallel to the shoreline, or jog for as long as you all can.
INVOLVE YOUR FAMILY PETS: Remember that the family dog needs exercise, too! Liven up your dog’s routine with some new toys to throw around the yard. Or get a basket of tennis balls, disperse them around the yard, and have everyone gather them up as quickly as they can! There are so many ways to keep the whole family active, with minimal equipment necessary. Be creative and have a blast! Kids Town wants to remind you to always stay hydrated, and be sure to consult with your physician before starting any new exercise routine.

Like David Bowie and Prince, Janelle Monáe creates her own world through music Ed Condran for Triangle Today Janelle Monáe is the antithesis of her stage persona during interviews. She has come across as an animated performer, which is akin to one of her musical heroes David Bowie. However, Monáe, who will perform Monday, July 23 at the Ritz, dials it down during thoughtful chats about her career. There’s typically a five to seven second delay between questions and answers.
Singersongwriter Janelle Monáe performs in Los Angeles.
purpose until she left Kansas City for Atlanta during the prior decade. That’s when she met OutKast’s Big Boi, who helped Monáe discover what she could achieve as a recording artist. The uncompromising Monáe combined soul, funk and hip-hop while making her avant-pop album “The ArchAndroid,” which was released in 2010. Big Boi wasn’t the only big name helping Monáe. Prince became enamored with her work and offered considerable advice.
Monáe, who survived a hardscrabble existence while growing up in Kansas City during the ’90s, paused for quite awhile when asked when she was aware that she possessed such a golden set of pipes. “That’s a pretty difficult question to answer,” Monáe says while calling from Nashville. “I don’t know the answer to that but what I consider more significant is when I found my purpose as a recording artist. There are many singers out there but not as many singers who find their purpose.”
“Prince wasn’t just a musical hero of mine, he was a mentor,” Monáe says. “He received the first copy of ‘The ArchAndroid.’ There isn’t a day that goes by in which I don’t miss him. There was never anyone like Prince. The same can be said for David Bowie.”
The charismatic Monáe, 32, didn’t find her

The common denominator between Bowie and Prince is that each created his own world. Monáe does the same courtesy of her funky, spirited music.
