Cultural Stimuli in LA
Issue 187: agrestic flavor

The hustle and bustle of urban living can wear those nerves down something fierce, but as we make our inroads into autumn, LA reminds us that red leaves and waving fields remain, just outside the city. National Geographic's All Roads Film Festival packs the eco-adventure thrills, while a new exhibition at SCI-Arc's galleries explores the pas de deux between architecture and the environment. Canada launches a two-pronged assault on our urban cynicism as Allyson Mitchell and Andrew Harwood invite Americans to defend the sugarbush, and Vancouver sexpot Stephen McBean's the Pink Mountaintops cast their freak-folk glow over LA. Elsewhere, Jeremy Drake leads an evening of experimental odes to real and imaginary countries; Radio Free Silver Lake launches Let's Independent, a new monthly home-grown music night at Boardner's; and CalTrans Plaza hosts Autumn Lights 2006, an evening of multimedia and performance artists. Take the scenic route, and spread it!

PERFORMANCE
Stan's Cafe: Of All the People in All the World

when: Tue 9.26 - Sun 10.1 (Tue-Sat: 12-5pm / Sun: 11am-5pm)
where: Skirball Cultural Center (2701 Sepulveda Blvd, 310.440.4500) map
price: $8 / Free Thur & Sun
links: Event Info | Stan's Cafe

In Of All the People in All the World, UK theatre company Stan's Cafe collects 300 million grains of rice, creating a hauntingly beautiful, constantly shifting sculptural landscape. With one piece ascribed to every person in the United States, the time-based installation captures the sheer vastness of our population: individuality is lost as viewers contemplate their tiny place by holding a single grain in their hands and walking through the installation. As the work is executed, actors dressed as lab technicians mingle throughout the gallery, talking with guests about the group's choices and the awe-inspiring method by which the piece was created. (ASM)

Note: This performance installation is free for students with ID.

Radio Free Silver Lake kickstarts LA's independent music scene, debuting a new monthly series with the area's best-kept secret, the Movies, indie rockers Great Northern, and the summer-pop goodness of Western States Motel. (MG)

DJ: Album Release Party
Vikter Duplaix

when: Wed 9.27 (10pm)
where: The Roxy Theatre (9009 Sunset Blvd, W Hollywood, 310.278.9457) map
price: $14
links: Event Info | Vikter Duplaix

Labels are not part of the Vikter Duplaix vocabulary; as a producer, DJ, vocalist, and writer, he's always deftly defied convention. So it's no wonder that his latest album, Bold and Beautiful, is a tough cookie to crack (and nearly impossible to crumble with criticism). As soulful as it is intelligent, the record marries progressive beats and sweet neo-soul, bumping back and forth between the delicate and delicious sides of R&B. To celebrate its recent release, Duplaix hits the Roxy tonight with fellow DJ and good-music altruist Garth Trinidad of KCRW's Chocolate City. (MT)

  Pitch us a premise for an imaginary soap opera, à la The Bold and the Beautiful. Our ten favorite daytime drama ideas in 50 words or less each win a pair of tickets to this party.



MUSIC: Avant-Pop
Cibelle

when: Wed 9.27 (10:30pm)
where: Tangier Restaurant (2138 Hillhurst Ave, 323.666.8666) map
price: $12
links: Event Info | Tangier Restaurant | Cibelle

Sultry and sensual, Cibelle's music is just what you want to hear from a Brazilian chanteuse. But beyond the cute poutiness of a girl from Ipanema, she incorporates unconventional percussion, subtle electronic tweakery, and other avant-isms to update Rio's lush syncopated sensibilities. Cibelle alternates between Portuguese and English with a breathy, warm voice, making both languages convey rapturous longing. From English covers of Caetano Veloso to original songs that sigh with the jet stream, Cibelle charms, entices, and leaves you wishing that the summer was just beginning. (AD)



ALSO ON WED

MUSIC: Latin Downtempo
Curumin w/ Honeycut
Wed 9.27 (8:30pm) Knitting Factory (7021 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, 323.463.0204) map $15

Event Info
 
Downtempo producer Curumin blends guitar-filled Brazilian beats, offering a breath of fresh air to Brazil's other prominent electronic export, baile funk, which, while cool, can get a little to '90s Dance Mix USA on its own. (MH)

  Unlike Americans, Brazilians use "baile funk" in reference to what? Correct answers three, five, and six each win a pair of tickets to this show.

FESTIVAL
The National Geographic All Roads Film Festival

when: Thur 9.28 - Sun 10.1 (schedule)
where: Egyptian Theatre (6712 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, 323.466.FILM) map
price: $9 per screening
links: Event Info | All Roads Film Festival | National Geographic

In its mission "to increase and diffuse geographic knowledge while promoting the conservation of the world's cultural, historical, and natural resources," the National Geographic Society has done everything from publish a world-renowned magazine to sponsor expeditions in the Arctic. The organization's yearly survey of new cinema and photography from around the world, this installment of the All Roads Film Festival features the US premiere of features and shorts from Tibet, Finland, Palestine, and Brazil. The program also includes music videos and live performances from Sudanese rapper Emmanuel Jal and Tibetan vocalist Yungchen Lhamo. Go forth, young traveler. Explore. (DRC)



THEATRE
Don Carlo

when: Thur 9.28 (7pm) & Sun 10.1 (12:30pm)
where: Dorothy Chandler Pavilion (135 N Grand Ave, 213.972.0711) map
price: $30-220
links: Event Info

Arguably the most prolific composer of 19th-century Italian opera, Verdi was often assailed by critics for catering to "the common folk" (seems he and Springsteen have a lot in common). First performed in 1867 at l'Opera, Paris, Verdi's Don Carlo dramatizes the doomed love affair between Spanish Prince Carlo and French Princess Isabel. In keeping with his everyman approach, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion brings the Maestro even closer to the masses: tonight the opera — originally performed in French and later staged in Milanese — comes complete with stage subtitles. Now, if only they'd play "Born to Run." (JR)



MUSIC: Post-Rock Folk-Pop
Grizzly Bear w/ Holy Fuck

when: Thur 9.28 (9pm)
where: Spaceland (1717 Silver Lake Blvd, 323.661.4380) map
price: $8
links: Event Info | Spaceland | Grizzly Bear | Holy Fuck

Despite their hushed aural output, Brooklyn's Grizzly Bear are making big noises throughout the experimental rock underground. Sounding somewhat akin to Syd Barrett monkeying around with a PowerBook, GB's songs are quietly dazzling and downright addictive. Merging lo-fi acoustics with electronic textures and syrupy psychedelia, the quartet employs all kinds of nifty gadgets and gizmos into the instrumentation on their new sophomore Warp Records LP Yellow House. They're joined tonight by nasty sweet avant blippers Holy Fuck, best known for their distinctive reel-to-reel scratching and harrowing, apocalyptic dance drums. (SC)

  Grizzly Bear's Ed Droste is the grandson of a former head of which university's musical department? The third and fourth correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this show.

FILM
American Hardcore

when: Fri 9.29 - Thur 10.5 (schedule)
where: NuArt Theatre (11272 Santa Monica Blvd, 310.281.8223) map
price: $9.50
links: Event Info | American Hardcore

Maybe all your hardcore buddies now have 401(k)s, but as Paul Rachman's documentary American Hardcore proves, their initial feeling of blinding rage in the face of vapid mass culture and Reaganomics was earnest and volatile. Through archival footage and interviews with Black Flag, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, and many other icons of American punk, the film — inspired by Steven Blush's book of the same name — reminds us why we loved this music in the first place. Though the film lacks focus (and makes only passing reference to the scene's women), the pounding soundtrack and the still kinda scary subjects should get old punks pumping their fists and old deadheads running for the exits. (GM)



ARCHITECTURE: Opening
Daly, Genik Architects: 100 Rooms & RoTo Architects: Prairie View

when: Fri 9.29 (6-8pm)
where: SCI-Arc Gallery (960 E 3rd St, 213.613.2200) map
price:
links: Event Info

Architectural design challenges the creative mind to balance functional necessity and cost with flourish and fancy. This week, SCI-Arc presents two exhibitions that highlight the architect's particular dilemma and ultimate triumph in addressing these competing concerns. The architects of Daly, Genik present 100 Rooms, an interior installation that uses ancient architecture as a conceptual basis for an immersive series of rooms built from compressed cardboard slabs. In the Sci-Arc library, meanwhile, RoTo Architects show Prairie View, an exhibit of sketches, photos, and videos that showcases the group's acclaimed Prairie View Architecture and Art Building. (RS)

Note: 100 Rooms remains on display through Sun 10.29, and Prairie View remains on display through Sun 12.17.



FILM
A Tribute to Terry Zwigoff

when: Fri 9.29 - Sun 10.1 (schedule)
where: Aero Theatre (1328 Montana Ave, Santa Monica, 310.395.4990) map
price: $9 per screening
links: Event Info

Whether he's working with deadpan teens, pretentious art stars, or dysfunctional families, Terry Zwigoff addresses adolescence with a distinctly adult edge. In fact, Zwigoff's work is more akin to that of underground-comic cronies than to other films dealing in similar stuff. In addition to Zwigoff hits such as his 1994 documentary Crumb and 2001's Ghost World, this tribute features Louie Bluie (1985) — his rarely screened profile of blues musician Howard Armstrong. Zwigoff participates in a discussion following Saturday's screening, the director's cut of 2003's Bad Santa. (DRC)



FILM
Jesus Camp

when: Opens Fri 9.29
where: Various Lammele Theatres
price: Various
links: Event Info | Jesus Camp

Make no mistake: extremist evangelical ministries have their sights set on America's youth. As this alternately bizarre, terrifying, and hilarious documentary from directors Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady outlines in detail, many children in the US are being indoctrinated into a proselytizing, militant perversion of biblical morality that skirts the underlying elements of Christian faith. Jesus Camp follows three particularly extreme cases: Levi, a Ted Haggard in the making; Rachel, a ten-year-old female Ned Flanders; and Tory, a dancer who is bound for biblical burnout. The camera follows each with fascination and horror as they encounter the rigors of Pastor Becky Fischer's madrasah-cum-summer Bible camp. (SND)

PERFORMANCE
Heather Woodbury: Tale of 2Cities

when: Sat 9.30 - Sun 10.8 (schedule)
where: UCLA Freud Playhouse (McGowan Hall, 405 Hilgard Ave, Westwood, 310.825.2101) map
price: $23-35
links: Event Info

Playwright Heather Woodbury's Tale of 2Cities was conceived during a walk through her Dodger Stadium-area neighborhood. Sensing a "vanished community," the native Californian decided to track the history of her 'hood. In her search she stumbled across the story of Chavez Ravine, and learned that a once-barrio community had been forced out by a public housing debacle and the need for a baseball stadium. The affecting result of her cultural research is a theater piece examining the Brooklyn Dodgers' move to LA and its effect on three generations. Directed by Dudley Saunders, the show stars the playwright. (JH)

Note: The show runs as a cycle in two parts, with separate, alternating performances of each section.



MULTIMEDIA
Create:Fixate: Photography

when: Sat 9.30 (7pm-2am)
where: Multimedia Gallery Space (1530 N Cahuenga, Hollywood) map
price: $12 / FREE before 7pm
links: Event Info

Bimonthly art-party extravaganza Create:Fixate sets up shop at a new venue in Hollywood this week, pulling out all the stops for its annual All-Photography Show. Curated by American Photo magazine contributing editor Jason Elias, the program features work by more than 25 artists, including rising stars like Nicole Katano and Kireilyn Barber. With more than a dozen performances from local luminaries like John Kelley, Henry Strange, Sam Sparro, and KCRW's Liza Richardson, it might seem as though the art itself is just an adornment. Of course, it's actually the other way around. (KB)



DJ
DJ Krush

when: Sat 9.30 (9:30pm)
where: Knitting Factory (7021 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, 323.463.0204) map
price: $20
links: Event Info | DJ Krush

Other than A Bathing Ape, DJ Krush may be Japan's biggest contribution to the worldwide hip-hop scene. His latest release, Stepping Stones, is a dark, head-nodding, self-remixed double-disc best-of collection. Disc one, "Lyricism," features vocalists like Zap Mama, Mos Def, and Aesop Rock. Disc two, "Soundscapes," consists mostly of haunting ambient instrumental remixes (and a solid collaboration with ?uestlove of the Roots). And the A-list collaborators don't lie: Krush is one of the most worthy DJs of our time. (MH)

  If Krush hadn't become a DJ, he may have spent his life as a tattooed Yakuza playing which card game? The first and third correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this show.

The Second Annual Museums Free-For-All invites an interesting (if rather masochistic) question. Is it actually possible to drive to all of the participating institutions in a day? Or, should you get the most bang out of your buck by going to the most expensive? Or the least crowded? Or the most popular? Whatever your plan, celebrate more than 20 LA and Orange County museums — including the Getty, the Hammer, the Fowler, and the Skirball Cultural Center — that have decided to share the wealth by dedicating the day to a free exploration of science and the arts. (KB)



MUSIC: Garage Pop
Yeah Yeah Yeahs w/ the Blood Brothers and Imaad Wasif

when: Sun 10.1 & Mon 10.2 (7:30pm)
where: Hollywood Palladium (6215 Sunset Blvd, 323.962.7600) map
price: $33
links: Event Info | Hollywood Palladium | Yeah Yeah Yeahs | The Blood Brothers | Imaad Wasif

True rock 'n roll hellcats are hard to come by, which is why it's best to see the formidable Karen O in her native environment: onstage yowling, prancing, flirting, and devilishly dancing. Two albums and one EP into their career, her NYC art-rock trio has refined its heavy garage-rock sound, cleverly inserting punk, blues, and eccentric electronic influences. Punctuated by O's hard-edged vocals, the band's raucous anthems have earned them a solid spot in the alternative music pantheon. Spazz punks the Blood Brothers and Imaad Wasif (who's doubling as a fourth member of Yeah Yeah Yeahs) open. (LLT)

MUSIC: Indie Rock
Lambchop

when: Mon 10.2 (8pm)
where: The Troubadour (9081 Santa Monica Blvd, W Hollywood, 310.276.6168) map
price: $20
links: Event Info | The Troubadour | Lambchop

The English have always been a lot wilder about the exquisite country chamber pop of Lambchop — a venerable Tennessee ensemble led by whispering troubadour Kurt Wagner — than Americans. Maybe it's because Wagner's heart-wrenching, downtrodden, and occasionally downright goofy tales of Americana hit a bit too close to home for people on this side of the pond. Their latest album, Damaged, is a stark affair, even for these dependably muffled tunesmiths; its rich lyrics are partly inspired by Wagner's recent brush with cancer. As the Chop unveil ballad after hushed, heartwrenching ballad, it's a sure bet you've never heard a band this intense be so incredibly quiet. (TW)



MUSIC: Neo-Psychedelia
The Pink Mountaintops

when: Mon 10.2 (8:30pm)
where: The Echo (1822 Sunset Blvd, Echo Park, 213.413.8200) map
price: $10
links: Event Info | The Echo | Pink Mountaintops

There's something genuinely unsettling about Black Mountain singer Stephen McBean's the Pink Mountaintops. The music on the project's latest album, Axis of Evol, is a scuzzy swirl of drum machines and psychedelic swooshes which dip underneath writhing guitar dirges. It's gutter-poet protest gospel that suggests early Sonic Youth — the title references their squalid 1986 album — or, perhaps, the alienated narratives of Lou Reed and the Jesus and Mary Chain. McBean sounds exhausted and burnt out as he sings about the "new drug queens," then maps surreal war geographies before finally quizzing Jesus himself about how to get free. (DRC)

  Besides mountaintops, where is your favorite place to watch the "rosy-fingered dawn?" Our five favorite responses each win a pair of tickets to this show.

MUSIC: Indie Rock
The Stills

Event Info
 
Rallying rockers with wailing lyrics and big beats, the Stills hop from post-punk to emo in an instant. And while their stage show may hit hard in the gut, it never fails to leave you with that warm, soulful feeling. (MG)

price: Various

With massive installations, sculptures, paintings, drawings, photographs, and films, the Orange County Museum of Art's 2006 California Biennial offers individual and collaborative works in every media you've ever heard of — and some you probably haven't. Exhibition highlights include a new, major video piece from alt-culture media collective My Barbarian, a mixed-media socio-historical indictment from Speculative Archive, some compelling political self-portraiture, and surprises from insurgent graffiti impresario Mario Ybarra Jr. Related programs at the museum and the South Coast Plaza Orange Lounge are planned throughout the exhibition's nearly three-month run, including eclectic performances, films, and interactive programs with the Biennial artists.

Event Info
 
The word "sugarbush" conjures images of sweet maple trees dripping with sugary syrup, but, apparently, it also embodies the cultural construction of gender and nature. Mitchell & Harwood team up in a mixed-media exhibit that explores intersections of Queer Canadia, femininity, power, and naturalism. (MSS)

  COMPOSITION COMPETITION: Cut & Paste Digital Design  

Following the success of their previous digital media throwdowns in New York City, the masterminds behind the Iron Chef-style Cut & Paste Digital Design Competition have decided to host tournaments in New York, Chicago, LA, and San Francisco this fall. Using only a G5 Mac, a digital camera, and a few other materials provided, eight designers square off in three 15-minute bouts grounded in a central theme, as each artist's progress is chronicled on individual screens throughout the venue. Based on originality, use of the chosen theme, and "overall dopeness," judges — including Eric Nakamura of Giant Robot, graffiti artists Buff Monster and Emit, and Flavorpill's own Sascha Lewis — choose the winner of regional bragging rights and an Apple MacBook. Aspiring champs have until October 13 to submit their names for the City of Angels' inaugural challenge on November 11. (IB)



 


  CD REVIEW: Georgia Anne Muldrow, Fragments of an Earth  

Stones Throw
Released September 2006
$15.98 (Amazon)

There's certainly no shortage of R&B singer/producer collaborations. But when, at age 22, you construct your own Dilla-esque beats, handle vocals and production, and get signed as the first female to the esteemed Stones Throw label, you're onto something. Building on the acclaim of the Worthnothings EP, Georgia Anne Muldrow's debut full-length, Fragments of an Earth, features classically soulful singing with an occasional jazz-like cadence (her mother sang with Pharoah Sanders) and a modern production aesthetic rife with cut-up hip-hop twists and turns. Fragments' 21 tracks show remarkable variety — from the multi-tracked choral-style vocals, slap bass, and jerky, compressed beats of "Birds" to "West Coast Recycler," where she raps with authoritative flow over a modulating Hammond organ — the album is an eloquent and modern update of a classic sound. Jill Scott fans take note. (CJN)
