BY GEOFF KELLY …AND THE INFRINGEMENT FESTIVAL STARTS EARLY. The first street performance of

WED-FRI 11-7

the week takes place this afternoon (Wednesday, July 22) on the steps of Buffalo City Hall, where developer and Buffalo school board member Carl Paladino is throwing a rally in support of himself. An invitation to Paladino’s supporters, featuring a stock photo available for purchase from Getty Images of a diverse group of darling children giving thumbs-up to the camera, was disseminated on Tuesday. “Carl Paladino has been under fire lately for comments some view as racist,” it reads. “They are trying to use distraction tactics to undermine the Buffalo Schools reform Movement. Now members of the community are fighting back against these lies and distortions.” Attendees are encouraged to bring their own “homemade signs.” Paladino has been rebuffing charges of racism for years, while continuing to feed his critics ammunition with tirades about “the black sisterhood” and, most recently, the “damned Asians” he erroneously accused of faking residency and denying native-born Americans spots in SUNY schools. That remark spurred a social media campaign, #Can Carl. His colleague on the board, Barbara Seals Nevergold, continues to call him out for racism and sexism and general intemperance. The Buffalo Parent Teachers Organization, a relatively new body that enjoys the support of the state teachers union, joined several unions last week in condemning Paladino as a racist. Meanwhile, the school board majority that Paladino helped to assemble continues to struggle: much bluster, few results. Its members acknowledge that they’ve failed to advance its agenda, failed to establish a turnaround plan for the district’s so-called “failing” schools, and failed in the search for a new superintendent. (Paladino’s latest favorite candidate, Harvey Austin principal Kevin Eberle, does not have enough votes.) This week the board was offered a scolding by MaryEllen Elia, the state’s new education commissioner, who showed little patience for the board’s bickering or excuses and threatened to place those “failing” schools into receivership if the board did not present an acceptable turnaround plan soon. No wonder Paladino needs a little pick-me-up. The theater begins at 5pm. Don’t be surprised if some of those “homemade signs” are less than fully supportive of the man sponsoring a “spontaneous” demonstration of the community’s love for him. NO DENIM, NO DIALING IN ERIE COUNTY LEGISLATURE. Young Joe Lorigo, majority

leader of the Erie County Legislature by grace of his father’s control of the local Conservative Party, passed down two edicts last month in furtherance of the people’s pressing business: first, that “[d]enim of any form is prohibited from attire of any member of Legislature or staff in the Legislative chambers during any event involving formal business of the county”; second, that “[a]ll electronic devices shall be maintained on silent or vibrate mode and any disruption caused by a personal electronic device shall be ground for removal.” So, no jeans and no noodling with cellphones. Both measures, we are told, were precipitated by fits of pique attended by but unrelated to the banned items. The latter provoked this comment from a friend in County Hall: “Lorigo has more than once had speakers testifying before him at the Finance and Management Committee that have paused, annoyed in their silence, waiting for him to finish texting with persons unknown…In committees where he does not preside, Lorigo is famous for his

IT’S QUIET—A LITTLE TOO QUIET. The state and federal investigation that came into public view with the May raid on the homes of political operatives Steve Pigeon, Steve Casey, and Chris Grant has gone silent. The two most dogged reporters on the affair, The Public’s Alan Bedenko and WGRZ-TV’s Steve Brown, have had nothing new in weeks.

This concerns some who have long questioned Pigeon’s fast-and-loose relationship with state election law. The investigation centers on the activities of the Western New York Progressive Caucus, a campaign committee active in the 2013 election cycle, focusing mostly on Erie County races. Its treasurer and public face was Kristy Mazurek—who is supposedly cooperating with investigators—but it was Pigeon’s creation.

The concern regards the statute of limitations: Most of the misdemeanors that investigators seems to be following have a two-year sunset; if there was any illegal activity, most of it would have occurred in August and early September 2013, before primary day. We’ve been told that investigators want to use misdemeanors to leverage testimony that will help them prove felonies; we’ve also been told investigators are willing to allow the statute of limitations on some misdemeanors to expire in exchange for cooperation or to spare some parties the embarrassment and inconvenience of being associated with the case. We have also been told that the case has been drawn up and either has already been sent or will soon be sent to a grand jury for review. If that’s the case, where is this grand jury? Is it the grand jury already convened for general use by prosecutors in the Erie County District Attorney’s office, which has apparently withdrawn from this case because of Frank Sedita’s political ties to Pigeon and his public refusal to investigate Pigeon’s activities during the 2007 election cycle? Or is it a special grand jury empaneled to hear this matter only? Or is it not true at all? Whatever the case, the clock is ticking. AND SPEAKING OF AWFULPAC, as Beden-

ko has dubbed Western New York Progressive Caucus for its flagrant and outrageous behavior in 2013, Mazurek seems to have failed to file the obligatory July campaign finance disclosure, which was due July 15. Perhaps the committee is taking a lesson from former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who, to explain his failure to file a recently required ethics disclosure form, argued that to file the disclosure while under investigation for ethics breaches might comproP mise his defense.

NEWS COMMENTARY

IN MCKINNEY AS IN BIRMINGHAM From Claudette Colvin to Dajerria Becton, black women’s generations-long fight for dignity continues BY CAITLIN HARTNEY LAST MONTH at a community swimming pool in a mostly white neighborhood in McKinney, Texas, a bikini-clad 15-yearold black female, Dajerria Becton, was violently wrestled to the ground by a white police officer. Once subdued, he proceeded to kneel on her nearly bare back and repeatedly forced her face into the grass. Throughout the ordeal, which was captured on a now infamous video, Becton can be heard pleading for her mother and sobbing as she lie prostrate under the weight of the armed man. In March 1955, 15-year-old Claudette Colvin, also black, was violently pulled off of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, by two white male police officers after she refused to concede to the driver’s demands that she relinquish her seat in accordance with the customs of Jim Crow, claiming that it was her constitutional right to remain where she was. Though she technically broke no law, officers violently dragged the tearful teenager down the aisle to a patrol car. In the process, one of the officers called the teenager a black whore. In both cases, the girls’ primary transgression seems to have been breaching the color line. That is obvious in the Montgomery incident, where segregation of the races was manifest in the pervasive signage that denoted colored sections and white-only facilities in public spaces across the South. In that time and place, racism was formal and overt, making the wrongs committed by the bus driver and police officers—in hindsight—glaring and difficult to absolve. In the case of McKinney, the effects of de facto segregation are less blatant but no less relevant. Becton was one of many guests at a pool party gone awry after white residents, apparently resentful of what they must have construed as an intrusion of “outsiders” into their community, hurled racial slurs at the mostly black attendees. To their credit, numerous media outlets, including The Atlantic and NPR, have drawn parallels between what occurred in McKinney and the numerous battles over segregation that erupted at public swimming pools across the country after the Supreme Court ruled separate to be inherently unequal. But the McKinney incident is about more than segregation. Gendered racism is also at play. Becton’s ordeal stands as a grim reminder that the often sexualized degradation of black female bodies at the hands of authorities is not a thing of the past. When Colvin was shoved into a police car 60 years ago, she was terrified of being murdered or raped by the very men charged with maintaining order and protecting the people of Montgomery. And with good reason. According to historian Danielle McGuire:

IMAGE COURTESY OF BURT RIGID BOX, INC.

Dajerria Becton, 15, wrestled to the ground by police at a pool party.

LOOKING BACKWARD: F.N. BURT CO., 500 SENECA “Manufacturers for the retail trade know the value of an attractive package as a stimulant to produce sales, and many concerns call on Burt’s know-how, born of long experience in box designing.” –Buffalo Courier Express, September 21, 1952 The F.N. Burt Co., 500 Seneca Street, employed as many as 2,500 people to make up to four million boxes per day for manufacturers across the United States and Canada. Frederick Northrup Burt founded the company in 1886 in a single-story space at 440 Main Street, entered the box-making business in 1896, and began construction of the plant at Seneca and Hamburg streets in 1900. Multiple plant expansions took place between 1902 and 1916, and a steel-reinforced concrete expansion nearly doubled the plant facilities between 1926 and 1927. This undated image, taken in the steel-reinforced concrete addition sometime in the 1940s, shows some of its mostly female workforce hard at work. Mary Rebecca Cass, general manager of F.N. Burt from 1909 to 1935, grew the company from a small printing outfit to reportedly the world’s largest paper box manufacturer. Burt made boxes for everything from mascara to face powder, facial creams, hair dye, candy, pencils, birthday candles, ribbon, ice cream, pharmaceuticals, cigarettes with familiar names like Pall Mall and Egyptian Deities, and the many products of the Larkin Co. As early as 1917, the California Perfume Co., predecessor to Avon Products, retained Burt to make its round, oval, and oblong cosmetics boxes. Burt even invented the “paper cone cup” for water coolers—a product line sold to a competitor in 1925. In 1959, the year that the I-190 East Buffalo section opened, the F.N. Burt Co. closed its Seneca Street plant and moved all operations to a new plant on Walden Avenue in Cheektowaga. In 2010, 500 Seneca Street LLC, a partnership between Frontier Development Initiatives and developer Sam Savarino, purchased the vacant complex and announced plans for a mixed-use project named 500 Seneca. Today, work is wrapping up on renovations. Tommyrotter Distillery, P one of the building’s tenants, opened last weekend.- THE PUBLIC STAFF

COMMENTARY NEWS

IN MARCH 1955, 15-YEAROLD CLAUDETTE COLVIN WAS VIOLENTLY PULLED OFF OF A BUS IN MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA, BY TWO WHITE MALE POLICE OFFICERS AFTER SHE REFUSED TO RELINQUISH HER SEAT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CUSTOMS OF JIM CROW. Away from the public glare and in the backseat of a white man’s car, anything could happen. They could take Colvin wherever they wanted and do whatever they pleased without fear of punishment. It was the worst possible situation for a young black woman— something generations of mothers had warned their daughters to avoid at all costs.

THE PODCASTS

In her book At the Dark End of the Street: Black Women, Rape, and Resistance—a New History of the Civil Rights Movement from Rosa Parks to the Rise of Black Power, McGuire recasts the game-changing Montgomery bus boycott, organized just nine months after Ms. Colvin’s arrest, as a movement for black women’s “dignity and bodily integrity.” In the process, she illuminates for readers the abuse black women have long endured. Indeed, by 1955, Southern police were notorious in African-American communities for their mistreatment of black women, who for decades had been subjected to sexualized verbal and physical assault at the hands of officers with scant opportunity for recourse. In 1949, an intoxicated Gertrude Perkins, 25, was stopped by authorities for public drunkenness and raped by the officers at gunpoint. Later, female civil rights activists and Freedom Riders across the South reported being beaten, fondled, forced to expose their breasts and genitals to male officers and prisoners, and—in what amounted to state-sponsored rape—forced to undergo humiliating, painful, and dangerous vaginal exams. These examples are not exceptions to the rule, nor was sexualized police brutality against black women limited to the Deep South. In turn-ofthe-20th-century New York City, it was not uncommon for officers to harass black women. Their routine mistreatment, ranging from assumed criminality and false arrests to verbal insults and physical assault, contributed to the intense tension between black and Irish residents that sparked the New York race riot of 1900. This historically pervasive disregard for black women’s corporal autonomy is rooted in the legal codes and gendered racist stereotypes that buttressed first American slavery and then the racial hierarchy that governed post-Civil War Southern society. Under slavery, a black woman’s body was legally not her own, but the property of her owner. He could rape her with impunity, and rape her he did—as punishment, to instill terror,

to undermine the masculinity of black men, to multiply his stock of slaves, and for his own sexual gratification. Sexual disrespect toward black women also stems from centuries-old rhetoric that affixed to non-white women the stigma of immorality and licentiousness, which functioned to deny the possibility that a black woman would conceivably refuse the advances of a white man. This effectively undermined the legitimacy of a black woman’s claim of rape, securing white men’s privilege. At the same time, white society masculinized black women and denied their ladyhood, as defined by Victorian standards. In contrast to white women, who were glorified as delicate bastions of virtuous motherhood in need of constant patriarchal protection, black women were considered physically robust, depraved, uncivilized, and innately criminal. Long after Appomattox, these baseless characterizations persisted. The McKinney video, replete with sexual undertones, shows Becton—a child—being manhandled with a roughness usually reserved for violent, adult criminals. It is not farfetched to surmise the racist stereotypes from America’s sordid past have not entirely disappeared. I urge you to familiarize yourself with stories of black women throughout history who were subjected to unfathomable police brutality—read them in all of their nauseating detail—and then watch the McKinney video with new eyes. The confrontation becomes disturbing on a new level. I am not insinuating that gendered racism in the form of police brutality is as common as it once was. Becton was not seriously hurt, and the overly aggressive officer resigned as a result of his actions. (Note that the FBI is currently investigating the death of 28-year-old Sandra Bland while in police custody in Waller County, Texas.) But gendered racism was, for much of our nation’s history, habitual and systemic, and it was not restricted to black women. The other side of the gendered racism coin was the dissemination of the falsehood that campaigns for equality were motivated by black men’s desire to have unfettered sexual access to white women. The historical myth of the black rapist is an essay topic unto its own. And like the myth of the black jezebel, it has long been used by white supremacists to deny African Americans’ civil rights and to justify mob violence against the black community. In Charleston, Dylann Roof was reportedly motivated to murder nine innocent churchgoers, at least in part, by the misconception that black men prey on white women. The danger of letting gendered P racist myths perpetuate couldn’t be clearer.

YOU CAN’T SEE the entire Screen Play: Life in an Animated World show at the Albright-Knox in just one visit. About 50 screen works by 40 or so artists from nearly as many places around the globe. Total running time somewhere around 10 hours. That’s not counting artist Ian Cheng’s two “infinite duration” works.

Animation works—cartoons—leagues beyond Mickey Mouse in technology and sensibility. Beyond Bugs and Daffy in technology, though hardly sensibility. And serious cartoons along with comic. Or comic serious. Like German artist Peter Wächtler’s retelling of the story of Sisyphus as a haggard actual rat but with substantial human qualities and demeanor. He gets out of bed in the morning and first thing and only thing before heading off to work, picks up a bowling ball next to the bed and places it on a table. Next we see him returning home and heading straight for bed, when he trips on a rug and the bowling ball rolls off the table and lands on his head, nearly flattening him. He recovers—barely—and crawls into bed. Next day, same routine, and the next day, and the next. Occasionally—maybe once a week, we get the sense—some slight variation in the pattern. But then right back to routine. Life as one darn thing after another, and usually the same thing. Or serious serious. Like William Kentridge’s triptych on historical apartheid matters in South Africa, where he is originally from. The animation is accomplished by film capture of successive versions of large charcoal drawings that he continually erases—not entirely but in parts—and redraws. The work has a slightly grim and messy look, appropriate to the grim politics and economic power topic. About how money trumps morality. And an overall look and feel a little reminiscent of the Art Spiegelman graphic novel Holocaust tale Maus. American Joshua Mosley’s video mixes the banal and surreal in an unassumingly told little near love story between a park ranger devoted to the care and keeping of a monumental statue, and a young woman newcomer in the community, in a technological job with a fiber optics company that’s going to mean relocating from time to time. It’s not going to work out—and doesn’t—as long as he can’t see beyond his statue job. Ships that pass in the night. Swedish artists Nathalie Djurberg and Hans Berg’s work is a claymation continuation of the voyeuristic erotic moment depicted in rococo era artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s famous painting The Swing. Both main characters lose all sense of polite decorum. There’s some groping, and a literal crawl through the brambles, and ultimate sexual frustration for both parties, apparently. And something like claymation run amok in two works by American Alison Schulnik. A kind of swamp creature meets space aliens story in one piece. In the other, a veritable community of clay human or near-human figures continually shape-shifting and morphing into everything from mushrooms to mountains. Along with dance interludes—still in claymation—of credible Martha Graham choreography. Britisher Helen Marten’s video called Orchids, or a hemispherical bottom 6

MOSLEY’S VIDEO MIXES THE BANAL AND SURREAL IN AN UNASSUMINGLY TOLD NEAR LOVE STORY BETWEEN A PARK RANGER AND A YOUNG WOMAN. reminds me of Lewis Carroll’s poem Jabberwocky. You look at the images and listen to the voiceover narrative and think from moment to moment you’re almost getting it, just not quite. You need to look and listen harder. Concentrate better. On her explanations of what those visuals—not really abstract, but not apparent just what they are, either—are all about. What it all means. Chinese artist Zhang Xiaotao has a Marxian allegorical horrific vision piece about class struggle on several levels amid the construction and destruction of a series of modern industrial civilizations. The three class levels are armies of ants as proletariat, troops of iguanas as middle management, and at the top, humans, but fleshless, just skeletons. Assembly line apparatus carries a mix of deceased of each species off to Holocaust reminiscent furnaces for immolation. A triptych of allegorical—for want of a more certain descriptive as to genre, strategy, style—works by the Russian artistic collective known as AES+F. Strange stuff. Slow motion is a basic technique, and bizarre settings and actions, or often inaction. On the top of a snow-covered mountain a troupe of attractive young people of both sexes and mixed ethnicities reiteratively act out a scenario vaguely recalling the ISIS beheading videos. Though no bloodshed in this case. A little like the blocking out of a sword fight for a Shakespeare play. Interspersed with sandy desert scenes of oil pumps monotonously pumping, and juxtaposed Dutch windmill. Iranian artist Tala Madari has a couple of comical short works, one about a dancer who dances till he disappears, one about a much beset little character—neighbors keep throwing things over the fence at him, everything from bricks to barbells—who winds up pounding himself into the ground with a mallet. Anything to get shut of the neighbors. Lots more. The screen animation art exhibit continues through September 13.

THEATER PUBLIC QUESTIONNAIRE

THE PUBLIC QUESTIONNAIRE:

CHRISTOPHER STANDART BY ANTHONY CHASE

What word would your friends use to describe you?

Generous. What quality in your current character is most unlike your own personality? Compulsive. What quality in your current character is most like your own personality? Survival instinct. When and where were you the happiest? Happiness is

a choice.

What is your idea of hell on earth? Chaos. What is your greatest fear? Being blind. Which talent do you most wish you had? Tap dance/play

dent superiority of a supermodel in L’Imitation of Life. (At age 89, my own mother considers Standart possibly to be her favorite Buffalo actor, and still tears up with laughter when she recalls him playing the jealous schoolgirl companion of Christina Crawford in BUA’s Mommie Queerest.)

CHRISTOPHER STANDART HAS never been a

leading man. He has played many leading roles, of course, but even these have been character parts. His range is expansive and his sense of humor is devilishly irreverent. He was tyrannically sublime as Sheridan Whiteside, the wheelchair-bound broadcaster trapped in rural Ohio in The Man Who Came to Dinner. More than once, he has assayed “the Thurston roles” in Greater Tuna, channeling the men and women of the small town of Tuna, Texas. With his large round face and small pursed mouth, he was the perfect choice to play Truman Capote in the one-man show Tru at BUA.

There is nothing “Brand X” about Christopher Standart.

For his current theater venture, BUA realized that Christopher Standart may not resemble the iconic star in any other detail, but he’s got Bette Davis eyes. He will be playing the great Bette Davis in Bette and Joan: The Final Curtain, opposite Jimmy Janowski as Joan Crawford. The production opens this weekend at the Alleyway Theatre complex.

For all the hilarity he has provided to audiences during his career, Standart is also capable in serious roles, and can even be terrifyingly menacing. Last season he played Judge Danforth in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible at ART, and he once played sadistic Tinker in Sarah Kane’s Cleansed at Torn Space. Among his favorite productions he counts Amadeus and The Cobbler at the Irish Classical Theatre and The Devils at Torn Space. On the other hand, he has done musicals, and counts playing Mr. Applegate in Damn Yankees and the Captain in Poseidon among his successful theater outings. He was also seen in Love’s Labour’s Lost at Shakespeare in Delaware Park.

Standart is often to be seen in a dress. The old women he has played seem like Mrs. Butterworth meets Godzilla. He’s a terror in a house frock. And yet one of the most convulsive moments of laughter I have ever had in a theater was seeing Standart saunter onto the BUA stage as a Las Vegas showgirl with all the confi-

Subversively, even daringly funny, and profoundly talented. That is how we see Christopher Standart. How does the actor see himself? Here, as he prepares to trod the boards as Bette Davis and to hold his own opposite Jimmy Janowski as Joan, Mr. Standart submits to The Public Questionnaire.

the violin.

What superpower do you most wish you had? Telekinesis. What would you change about your appearance?

My buttocks. What trait do you most despise in others? Self-delusion. What trait to you most despise in yourself?

Being opinionated. What do you most value in your friends? My best friends

make me laugh.

What do you consider to be your greatest accomplishment?

Being alive. What is your guilty pleasure? Shopping. What character from fiction do you identify with most?

Lily Bart [heroine of Edith Wharton’s House of Mirth]. What person from history do you identify with most?

[Irreverently mischievous socialite] Harry Lehr. What do you consider to be the most overrated virtue?

Heavenly or deadly? On what occasion do you lie? Circumstantially. What was the subject of your last Google search? How to

treat scalp eczema.

If you come back in another life, what person or thing would you like to be? A scientist. What is your most prized possession? My Snitznoodle. What role, in which you will never be cast, is actually perfect for you? Desiree Armfeldt in A Little Night Music. What is your motto? Try to stay beyond reproach.

BPO cellists David Schmude and Amelie Fradette.

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL This weekend the BPO offers parlor-style performances in the Mary Seaton Room

LEARN TO FENCE

BY DOUGLAS LEVY

THE CONVENTION OF today’s audience sitting

in seats bolted to the floor, facing one way, in the midst of a couple of thousand other people, is the product in part of the ascendency in the 19th century of the Romantic Era in classical music, which includes anything written after Beethoven. This music required orchestras of upwards of 100 players, which meant larger stages necessary to accommodate them. A big stage and a house of only several hundred seats would both look ridiculous and limit box office receipts. The more seats you had to fill, the more tickets you could sell, and the more money you would make both to pay the players and have a larger net profit. The other factor is the simultaneous growth of the merchant middle class throughout Europe. Here for the first time were individuals who weren’t members of the aristocracy, and who had disposable income to spend on the arts. Such persons desiring music in their lives had the choice of a) learning to play an instrument themselves; b) hiring musicians to play in their homes; or c) purchasing a ticket to hear a concert with a room full of strangers. The last was the most economical, if not always the most agreeable, given the state of personal hygiene in the 1800s. However, choices a) and b) were in fact the most prevalent prior to the 19th century. Aristocrats could afford to hire a couple of dozen players and keep an in-house composer (Haydn comes quickly to mind) who’d be responsible for writing something new practically every day. The other major employer of musicians were churches, some of which required their music directors to also lead semi-amateur ensembles at popular public settings. J. S. Bach led one such “Collegium Musicum,” which performed regularly at the Café Zimmermann, a coffeehouse in Leipzig. The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra this Friday and Saturday evening, starting at 7pm in Kleinhans’s Mary Seaton Room, will revivify

this informal, intimate mode of music-making. Listeners will be treated to a program of works by Bach, Vivaldi, and Handel on Friday evening in an event the BPO dubs “Baroque and Brews.” Craft beers will be for the tasting, and the audience will enjoy Vivaldi’s seldom heard Concerto for Two Cellos, Strings and Continuo in G minor. The soloists, Amelie Fradette and David Schmude, both members of the BPO cello section, relish the opportunity to play this concerto, which is just about the only well known one for this pairing of instruments. In the Mary Seaton Room, they and the orchestra will be seated on the floor, at eye level to the audience. Having the audience so close doesn’t perturb the players, who also experience a different acoustic in the smaller hall. Approaching Vivaldi, who wrote many of his concertos for female orphans (some, the abandoned illegitimate daughters of Venetian nobility) whom he taught at Venice’s Ospedale della Pietà, a convent and orphanage as well as music school, leaves a lot of interpretive leeway to the performer. “It’s not as much about the notes as how it is played, what you do with it,” says Schmude. “It can get very boring very fast if you don’t make it more than what is on the page.” The cellists find, for example, a sense of conversation occurring between them that afford them the opportunity to experiment. “It’s a beautiful piece and it does take a little extra work to make it your own,” adds Fradette. The middle slow movement almost requires restraint on the part of the soloists, to avoid something overly romantic. Still, Fradette and Schmude as duo soloists took to the piece right away. “After playing the first movement with Stefan [Sanders, the BPO associate conductor who will direct both concerts], he looked at us and said, ‘Bitchin’!’” “Mozart and Mingle,” Saturday evening’s concert, is a kind of Mozart mashup, offering excerpts from a handful of symphonies as well as two famous arias. Singing them will be soprano Emily Tworek-Helenbrook, a frequent solo-

ist with the BPO, who is looking forward to the more intimate presentation, believing that this is how Mozart should be heard a lot of the time. Helenbrook feels a certain simpatico with the composer; while not easy to sing, the results are very rewarding. She is particularly conscious of his use of rhythm. “The way he wrote perfectly upholds how the text is set and also the character singing the piece,” she says. “He knew exactly what to do and how to let the character come across just by using some of those techniques.” An aria for Susanna in The Marriage of Figaro was, for Helenbrook’s teacher, something Mozart composed “upside down.” “What she meant was a lot of the high notes in the piece aren’t supposed to be stressed; that the lower notes are more finessed and stressed,” she says. “When I sing I think about the character a lot. For me that’s important. I think because Susanna is a maid and more down to earth, her music, set as it is in the middle register, conveys that earthiness.” The BPO invites families to make an afternoon of “Baroque and Brews” and “Mozart and Mingle” by coming early to picnic on Kleinhans Music Hall’s beautiful grounds, taste the beers and schmooze with other music-lovers before the concerts begin at 7pm. For tickets, call 8855000. “A great way to introduce Mozart to your P children,” says Helenbrook.

INFRINGEMENT SPOTLIGHT

THE INFRINGERS Meet some of the acts at this year’s Infringement Festival BY CORY PERLA OVER THE COURSE of the next 11 days, 400 artists will perform as part of the Infringement Festival. If we could, we’d say a little something about each and every one, but that would probably take an army of writers working around the clock. For some of these artists, this is their first rodeo; others are seasoned veterans, performing multiple gigs, sometimes even in the same day. Here we’ve compiled a list of a few artists—rookie and veteran—who we think deserve some spotlight this year (and you’ll find a bunch more online at dailypublic.com, too). See Infringement insert for more info.

BOURBON AND COFFEE Describe what you will do this year as part of Infringement Festival. Bourbon and Coffee is a freak jazz poetry band born in a South Buffalo basement. Over the years, Bourbon and Coffee has moved through a variety of sonic palettes based on the instrumentation and temperament of the participating musicians. Experimental noise with saxophone and electric guitar (2010-2011). Freak jazz/classical with trumpet, clarinet, and oboe (2012-2013). Groovy doo-wop with flute, electronic keyboards, and vocal harmonies (2014). The most recent album could be described as modal melancholia with trumpet and violin. Guest musicians often join the band on stage and contribute to a further expansion of the genre-melting sounds that Bourbon and Coffee presents. What inspires you to create your art? Love, Hate, Unity, Division, Obsession, Compulsion, Order, Chaos, God, Humanity, Coffee Beans, Cannabis, Friendship, Love, Pancakes, Love. What’s the strangest thing you’ve done in the name of art? Travel alone for seven weeks in a Chevy Cavalier, stopping to read poetry to strangers in cities and small towns across America. Briefly describe one of your favorite Infringement moments from past years’ events. I remember wandering into Days Park and meeting a friendly tree faerie who gave me a magical token, as well as good advice with mystical overtones.

RANDY NILES Describe what you will do this year as part of Infringement Festival. I use the art of live looping, which is basically incorporating a digital device—loop pedal—into my setup which allows me to record my voice and instrument(s) in real time and play it back immediately for my audience. By doing this I can manipulate the sound of my guitar, with the use of a few other colorful effects, to get percussive beats, bass lines guitar melodies, and more all into my performance. What inspires you to create your art? The desire to really open people’s hearts and connect with them on a much deeper level is a huge part of my inspiration. I look around me and see so much going on, and though it’s truly nothing new, there is a sense that you can actually make some level of a difference in their lives as well your own. What’s the strangest thing you’ve done in the name of art? I took a crazy job years back, selling kids books (those types you would find in those 99-cent stores) wearing this embarrassing costume, on the streets of New York City. I was desperate and determined because I wanted to buy this particular guitar I saw in a vintage shop and needed to raise the funds for it. I was horrible at it and it was embarrassing, but I promised myself that I would work the job until I earned the money, and then quit. I got thrown out of places like Madison Square Garden when shows like Sesame Street were going on because I was trying to sell to the teachers and counselors as they were waiting in line with the kids. It al-

most got me arrested a few times, but I earned the money after a few months and the day I bought the guitar I walked back to the company’s warehouse and quit. How do you think you fit into the Infringement Festival? In what I do as an artist and what I am saying through my music, I really take a stand toward forging my own path; through creating a unique sound and experience with my art. I always run into the common stereotype—that I am just this one guy with a guitar that isn’t going to have much to say or really impact a room. But my persistence at getting this vehicle out and not conforming to the “standard” way, has actually opened more doors and more minds to the idea of a new outlook of perceiving the live music experience. The Infringement Festival welcomes the creative, pioneering, and risk-taking factors of producing a voice through arts many faces and I feel I fit right in to this environment comfortably.

5 UNDERDOGS OF INFRINGEMENT FESTIVAL PACING ONESELF during Infringement Festival may be the key to sustained energy, but even the most disciplined of returning attendees can run low on steam during a round-the-clock, 11-day arts smorgasbord. Sometimes popular consensus wins out and we opt to join friends at a party rather than see something we heard was exceptional. Maybe the location was far off the beaten path or the performance conflicted with several others. Whatever the case, we asked a few Infringement Festival devotees to help us pick a short list of amazing talent who could use a little more love (and attendance) than they’ve received in past years. Here’s what we came up with:

1. MICHELE COSTA PRESENTS MUSe Costa presides over the theatre Figüren collective, a theater company that blends puppetry, mime, and mask to create intriguing storylines and memorable characters in scenarios that force viewers to consider where we all belong in the scheme of life. For this year’s Infringement Festival, she brings MUSe, an illuminating story told from the vantage point of a common house mouse. Fri 7/24 7:45-8:45pm @ Days Park (Circle, near Picasso), Sat 7/25 2pm @ Bidwell Park (Behind Farmers Market), Sun 7/26 6:30-7pm @ UUC (Garden), Tues 7/28 6:30-7pm @ UUC (Garden), Tues 7/28 8:30pm @ Karpeles Manuscript Library (Steps, North St), Wed 7/29 6:30-7pm @ UUC (Garden), Fri 7/31 6:30-7pm @ UUC (Garden), Sun 8/2 6:30-7pm @ UUC (Garden)

SPACE CUBS / SUZANNE BONIFACIO Describe what you will do this year as part of Infringement Festival. I’ll be playing a super fun show with two of my good friends this year, one of which I haven’t seen in a year, so I’m really looking forward to that. Corner, Becca Ryskalczyk, and Space Cubs will be playing at Mohawk Place on August 27. What inspires you to create your art? To be honest, I grew up leading worship from a young age through most of high school, so I sort of just started writing songs about the changes that were always happening on the inside, related to my spiritual life. The songs are for others but also because making music makes me feel like I have some tangible way to send out what is going on on the inside at that time. If I didn’t dabble, at least, I’d feel crazed. What’s the strangest thing you’ve done in the name of art? In college my friends and I had an art club where we’d meet every Sunday night and have wine and snacks. We’d all write down anything random we wanted, phrases, anything. For example, one was, “stuck in a castle.” Then we’d go home that week and create anything we wanted in any medium based on that word, phrase, or idea. People would come up with

2. DEEDEE CLOHESSY: PRATTLETALES Anyone that knows Buffalo-native Deedee Clohessy will tell you that she’s a born storyteller, something she’s expressed throughout her adult life via poetry, graphic art, and cartooning. With Prattletales, she uses her gift as wordsmith to share some of life’s more mortifying moments with self-deprecating sarcasm and a keen eye for the absurd. You’ll laugh until it hurts. Fri Jul 24 7:30-8pm @ Dreamland, Sat Aug 1 4- 4:30pm @ Geoff Kelly’s House

3. EDDIE GOMEZ POETRY You may know Eddie as that guy in the back room at Record Theatre that always needs to make a highlighter mark on your used vinyl purchases, but his talent extends far beyond record store inventory into the world of poetry. Listen to Eddie muse on his love for our city, his feelings about being an introverted performer and his romantic meanderings which range from mild to wild. His talent for wordplay isn’t learned, it’s given—and it’s undeniable. Fri 7/24 7-7:30pm @ Dreamland, Wed 7/29 8pm@ Rust Belt Books (Outside), Wed 7/29 3-8pm, busking on the West Side

4. VELVET AL

the craziest stuff: Food, drawings, songs, recordings, sketches, anything. Then we’d do it again and again. It was seriously so fun. Describe your favorite Infringement moment in past years’ events. It’s been a couple years since I’ve played, but one show really stuck out to me, and I believe it was at The Bend. People were really engaged that night. Also, no one I knew was there, literally no one, and that was really awesome to see. All new faces, connecting.

Our local breast-obsessed visionary returns with something called ”Yes, I am Staring at Your Breasts in 3DDD.” One can only imagine how he’ll showcase his fondness for all things mammary this year, but Al has even been known to bust out the occasional breast-centric screenplay. Of one thing we’re fairly certain: He’ll wear something creative to support his own, carefully cultivated man-boobs. Sun 7/26 7:30-8pm @ Dreamland, Mon 7/27 7:15-7:45pm @ Dreamland, Sat 8/1 7:30-8pm @ Presto!

5. ISH KABBIBLE To the surprise of many, the term “Ish Kabbible isn’t really Yiddish, nor is it directly derived from any true Yiddish sayings or phrases. It was coined as a stage name for a coronet-playing comedian, Merwyn Bogue, in the 1930s. Over time, it has come to mean “nonsense” to some and “I shouldn’t worry” to others. Conversely, the music of this Buffalo duo is very real. Built from just drums and bass—what most bands use as a bottom end—this father/son pairing (Augustin Brand on bass, Kenny Brand on drums/percussion) dishes out an impressive progressive-funk blend that showcases amazing versatility. No nonsense here. Sat 7/25 12:15am @ Mohawk Place, Thu 7/30 7pm @ Burchfield Penney (Front Yard), Fri 7/31 5pm @ GCR Studios, Fri 7/31 10pm @ Nietzche’s

SPOTLIGHT INFRINGEMENT

CAT SINCLAIR OF THE STRIPTEASERS Describe what you will do this year as part of Infringement Festival. I am one of the visual arts organizers. I am hosting the Sex Positive night at Ol’ Wondermoth on Friday, July 24. I am most excited to be performing burlesque and stand-up comedy for “The Worst Show Ever” on Tuesday, July 28 at Nietzsche’s. I will be doing burlesque and posing for S&M figure drawing at Wet Dreamland on Thursday, July 30. I will be doing burlesque to live poetry at “Wam Bam Thank You Slam” on Saturday, August 1 at the Gypsy Parlor. I will also be at Kidfringement doing chalk art and the Where’s Waldo bombing, and helping run the kids paint wall at the College Street Block Party. In addition my paintings will be displayed at both Hot Mama’s Canteen and Dreamland. I’m sure there’s more… What inspires you to create your art? My art is inspired by everything! I want to challenge the status quo and what it means to be a plus size woman. My art is about giving a voice to the exploited and poking fun at politics and gender roles. I use sex appeal and sass to make people think and question. What’s the strangest thing you’ve done in the name of art? The strangest thing I’ve done in the name of art? Why, that’s tough! I would say performing in drag at the Montreal Infringement festival to the song “America, Fuck Yeah” and pulling about 20 American flags out of my giant plush strap-on penis. Or maybe it was last year’s Infringement when I rode my pimped-out tricycle from Babeville to the Wet Dreamland show wearing muttonchops, a beard, a tie-dye wolf shirt, and an adult diaper. Describe your favorite Infringement moment in past years’ events. I have had so many magical Infringement moments. I love how art can happen anywhere and is often improvisational. From the early days at Nobody’s, showing my giant paintings for the first time at Gateway Gallery; the Anal Pudding space costume parties at Nietzsche’s…to last year dressing up little kids like gnomes, participating in Car Stories, or watching the Folkfaces busk in front of Antique Man. Seeing Dave Adamzyk shredding his violin on Curt’s roof during the College Street Block Party; the Albrights in the roof of the Broadway Market; Hoopnosis fire art show in Days Park; or even last year when I did street burlesque in front of Picasso Moon and a fire truck stopped and the fireman all watched, hooted, and hollered as I spun my tassels and parasol in the sunlight. But the moment that stands out in my mind was saying the final speech dressed as Walter in The Big Lebowski and dedicating it with tears streaming down my face to my dear friend Chelsea Lee Jones, who passed away only days before the show during last year’s festival. The Buffalo Infringement Festival is my favorite part of the summer and makes me proud to live in Buffalo, it revitalizes my soul and the city. All of the artists inspire me beyond belief. I can’t wait to make new crazy memories this year! Bring it on! PHOTO COURTESY OF CAT SINCLAIR P

6 MUST-SEE INFRINGEMENT FESTIVAL SHOWS THURSDAY-SUNDAY JULY 23-26 VARIOUS TIMES & LOCATIONS, [INFRINGEMENT] Can you believe it’s been 11 years? The Infringement Festival, Buffalo’s annual 11-day long underground art festival—a “decentralized arts explosion” to which artists of all kinds are invited—has surpassed the decade mark without the help of any corporate entities or sponsorships. This year’s festival begins on Thursday, July 23 and runs through Sunday, August 2, which means this weekend will BE loaded with great Infringement Festival events. Here, we’ve highlighted six must-see events happening this weekend.

Ah, the Opening Ceremonies: This is the one event you can count on finding at Infringement’s unofficial headquarters—Nietzsche’s—year after year. For beginners, it’s a jumping-off point—there are more than 94 venues included in this year’s festival and 400-plus artists, so this is a good place to start—and for veterans it’s the meeting place. This year’s opening ceremonies include artists and musicians like Aurora Borealis, Greg Barresi, Recess, Jimyn the Singing Mime, Erica Wolfling, David Adamczyk, Marbin, Gabrielle Anello, and Lazy Ass Destroyer. It all begins this Thursday, July 23 at Nietzsche’s, and as always, it’s pay what you can.

RHINOCEROS THURSDAY, JULY 23 THROUGH SATURDAY, JULY 25 / 8PM MANNY FRIED THEATRE, 225 GREAT ARROW DR. In a preview of RHINOCEROS, actor John Vines, dressed in a polo shirt and khakis, took a few deep breaths before attempting to transform into a rhinoceros on stage. As he huffed and snorted, slowly lowering down to his knees while jerking his back into a reverse arched position over the course of about 45 seconds, he went from man to beast. It’s this kind of abusrdist theatER that Subversive Theatre Collective is known for, and they’ll continue with the “universal farce” which is RHINOCEROS this Thursday through Saturday at 8pm at the Manny Fried Theatre.

WHO INFRINGED YOU FRIDAY, JULY 24 / 10PM / NIETZSCHE’S, 248 ALLEN ST. “Who Infringed You?” Is another way of asking “Who inspires you?” Artists will answer that question by dressing up as their favorite actor, comedian, writer, artist, or musician for Who Infringed You Rock and Costume Party, this Friday, July 24 at Nietzsche’s. Acts include Twin Lions, Juliana Masic/Kicking Classy, Dirty Smile, Skyepilot, and Dark Eyes 55.

BROADWAY MARKET ROOFTOP PARTY SATURDAY, JULY 25 / 10AM / BROADWAY MARKET, 999 BROADWAY ST. The brilliance of the Infringement Festival comes out with events like the Broadway Market Rooftop Party. Not only will 14 notable underground music acts perform—from funky indie-rock trio Science Lion to post-rock band TOMOREAUX, and soul artist Randy Niles— but it’ll take place on the rooftop of one of Buffalo’s most historic places, the Broadway Market. See our city from a different perspective on Saturday, July 25 at this one-of-a-kind show.

PIPE DRAGON MEMORIAL EXPO SATURDAY, JULY 25 / 8PM / MOHAWK PLACE, 47 EAST MOHAWK ST. In the mid 1980s a bunch of artists, musicians, and students got together to open an underground club in Buffalo, which they called the Pipe Dragon. This underground club located on Ellicott was a precursor to alternative venues like Soundlab and the Vault, and for this reason local artists and musicans today still pay homage to the Pipe Dragon. On Saturday, July 25, for the third year, Mohawk Place will host the Pipe Dragon Memorial Expo, this year featuring Pam Swarts, Twin Speak, Terry Klein, chloroform, Double Memory, Ish Kabbible, and Lazy Ass Destroyer.

BUSKFEST 5000½ SUNDAY, JULY 26 / 11AM / CAFE AROMA, 957 ELMWOOD AVE. To busk is to play music on the street for donations. This is not a lowly act; some of the most talented people in the world—people like Robin Williams, Beck, and Tracy Chapman—started off busking in subway stations and outside of coffee shops. On Sunday, July 26 from 11am to 8pm, some of Buffalo’s most talented buskers will set up shop outside Caffee Aroma in Bidwell Park for a day-long busk-a-thon called Buskfest 5000½. -CORY PERLA

METZ + VIET CONG THURSDAY JULY 23 8PM / MOHAWK PLACE, 47 E MOHAWK ST. / $13-$15 [PUNK] Buffalo fans who got a taste of Metz when the band opened for Lightning Bolt in April will be treated to a full headlining set when the Toronto-based band returns to Mohawk Place on Thursday, July 23 with indie-punk band Viet Cong. On May 5 Metz, the Toronto-based, Sub Pop-signed noise-punk band released Metz II, a pop-damaged fuzz-punk album and followup to their 2012 self-titled debut, which put them on the map for post-hardcore fans and garnered them critical acclaim. NPR called the band’s 2012 debut “raw, belligerent, dissonant and powerful,” and II continues that trend, twisting Nirvana-influenced melodic grunge tracks through the blades of a noise-punk blender. Their fellow Canadian touring partners, Viet Cong, recently ran into controversy over the insensitivity of their name (a Minneapolis-based newspaper published an article simply titled “Viet Cong is a Stupid Band Name”) but they’ve soldiered on nonetheless, releasing a solid, self-titled debut album earlier this year, which received the “Best New Music” mark from Pitchfork. The combination of art-punk band Viet Cong and noise-rock band METZ will surely shake the foundation of Mohawk Place just a little bit when this stellar tour comes through on Thursday. Crosss open the show. -CORY PERLA

THURSDAY JULY 23 The Sklar Brothers 7:30pm Helium Comedy Club, 30 Mississippi St. $17-$31

[COMEDY] The Sklar Brothers—Randy and Jason—shared their mother’s uterus and now they share the stage. Though they’ve embraced their twindom, they don’t use it as a comedic crutch. Each is blessed with a punchy, well-rounded wit. Working with each other’s physical and mental similarities, their gut-busting banter is paved with observational quips and pop culture remarks. They’ve guest starred in several TV shows including an Emmy Award-winning episode of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, the FX hit It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and Adult Swim’s Childrens’ Hospital. They also starred as conjoined twins in Grey’s Anatomy and as warring agents on HBO’s Entourage. They host the History Channel’s docu-comedy, The United Stats of America, and ESPN’s Cheap Seats, and their commentary on shows like Chelsea Lately is legendary. Catch the Sklar Brothers at Helium Comedy Club on Thursday, July 23 through Saturday, July 25. -KELLIE POWELL

7pm Sportsmen's Tavern, 326 Amherst St. $20-$24

[BLUES] For Buffalonians who are fans of the blues, Anita West has been a mainstay on the scene. Between her long stint hosting a weekend blues radio show to her many appearances around the region, West is forever linked to the music. This Thursday, July 23, Sportsmens Tavern will celebrate her birthday with an Anita West Birthday Bash. The night will feature Jarekus Singleton and special guests Dive House Union. -JEREMIAH SHEA

[INFRINGEMENT] This Thursday, the Infringement Festival will launch series of performance acts this coming Thursday in the Front Yard of the Burchfield Penney that will get you in the mood to later—at 7:30pm—parade down Elmwood all the way to Allentown. This two-week festival, which is spread out around the city in venues and on the street, will keep you quite occupied with its widespread programming. Join the dedicated volunteers that organize this amazing festival in a slow bike ride and party bus procession from the museum to its headquarters at Nietzsche's. Buffalo is home to many wonderful things, and this is definitely one of them, so don’t miss out on this community-driven and -supported event. -TINA DILLMAN

Funktional Flow 9pm Buffalo Iron Works, 49 Illinois St. $5

[FUNK] With the Canalside Concert Series taking place just a short walk from Buffalo Iron Works, the venue has become a great landing place for those looking to keep dancing. This Thursday, July 23, Funktional Flow will be performing at Iron Works following the Badfish/Reel Big Fish show at Canalside. Flow has grown a steady fan base in the region with their blend of funk, reggae, and jam. Their latest release Let it Settle is a testament to their evolution with some new members in tow. -JS

Breaking Benjamin 6:30pm Hamburg Fairgrounds, 5600 Mckinley Pkwy. $35

THIS WEEK'S AGENDA THURSDAY JULY 23

OUT FOR BUSINESS AT THE BEACH 5PM – 7PM. at Woodlawn Beach Tiki Bar, 3580 Lakeshore Rd., Blasdell

Bring your Hawaiian shirts and board shorts to work, because it’s casual Thursday at the beach. Meet new contacts, clients, and comrades at this Pride Center of WNY happy hour for LGBT professionals. Food, raffles, and the first 50 to arrive get their first drink on the house.

SATURDAY JULY 25

[HARD ROCK] Breaking Benjamin surfaced in their hometown of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, when a local radio DJ, Freddie Fabbri, began playing “Polyamorous” on rotation in the late 1990s. The song became a crowd favorite, fueled by catchy and not-too-heavy riffs, driving Fabbri to fund Breaking Benjamin’s self-titled debut in 2001. They were soon signed by Hollywood Records, and from their debut, Saturate, through their fourth release, Dear Agony, their following swelled due to infectiously gritty songs like “So Cold,” “Sooner or Later,” and “Diary of Jane.” After a brief hiatus, BB flew back on the scene like a bat out of hell in 2014 with Dark Before Dawn. A thought-provoking juxtaposition of dark versus light, the album boasts the quintessential Breaking Benjamin sound on cuts like “Failure” and a little variation on songs like the atmospheric “Ashes of Eden.” Catch Breaking Benjamin with Starset at the Hamburg Fairgrounds on Friday, July 24. -KP

BADFISH: A TRIBUTE TO SUBLIME THURSDAY JULY 23

You Were Wild Here and Human Nature

6PM / CANALSIDE, 44 PRIME ST. / FREE

5pm Tri-Main Center, 2495 Main St. free

[ART] A Buffalo native currently living in the Hudson Valley, Maude White will grace us with paper cutouts that will keep you wondering the whole night. With the stark contrast of white on black, these seemingly three-dimensional works will pop out at you. This show opens in conjunction with an exhibit of new work by Allan Hebeler, whose mixed use of painting, pastel and photography will captivate you. Join the lovely folks over at the Buffalo Arts Studio and learn more about their workshops, studios, and special events. These two exhibits are on view through September 4. -TD

IMPERIAL COURT REIGN 25 INVESTITURE

[TRIBUTE] It’s not every day that a cover band does anything more than bar gigs and weddings; in fact, that’s the norm. When the band covered is Sublime, though, whose lead singer’s untimely death left many fans without a way to see their live show, Badfish stepped in to save the day. Badfish: A Tribute to Sublime is a nationally touring act—named after a Sublime song—and, lucky for the fans of the Long Beach rock band, they do their heroes justice. They’ve sold out huge venues and have given fans a way to see what might’ve been. This Thursday, July 23, Badfish will play at Canalside as part of their free weekly concert series. Opening the night will be another great act in Reel Big Fish. The ska punk band from California has been around since the early 1990s, and despite only having one original member and no major label support, remains viable and continues touring. -JEREMIAH SHEA

TREASURE FINGERS FRIDAY JULY 24 10PM / SKY BAR, 257 FRANKLIN ST. / $13 [ELECTRONIC/DANCE] “This one goes out to all the funky people,” a voice announces toward the beginning of Treasure Fingers‘ latest mix for Splash House. The funky people of Buffalo are well advised to attend what should be the peak of Sky Bar’s summer rooftop concert series this Friday, July 24 when the hailed house music producer brings his round, bassy booty house tracks to the dance floor. His latest Splash House mix is a good starting point for those unfamiliar with Treasure Fingers, but those who’ve been paying attention probably noticed the Atlanta-based producer after the release of his 2008 Fool’s Gold Records debut single, “Cross the Dance Floor,” which was famously remixed by Canadian electro-funk duo Chromeo. Treasure Fingers has very obviously evolved from his funky electro roots into one of the most sought after bassline house music producers of the moment, churning out highly pressurized cuts like his latest, “Koolaid.” The first single from his new label, Psycho Disco, “Koolaid” is likely to induce some involuntary head bobbing when he inevitably drops the sizzling cut at Sky Bar this weekend for what will surely be an exciting night for electronic music fans in Buffalo. Local favorites Eyes Everywhere open the show presented by Factory Nightlife. -CORY PERLA

CALENDAR EVENTS Euphraxia American Tribal Dance 8:30pm El Museo, 91 Allen St.

PUBLIC APPROVED

[INFRINGEMENT] Founded by instructor Leslie Fineberg, Euphraxia Dance Company has become known for spreading their unique style of bellydancing, American tribal dance (a mixture of classic Egyptian and folkloric), to Buffalo. This Monday, July 27 they'll be performing at El Museo between 7:30pm and 8:30pm. This is a perfect opportunity to witness a unique spectacle of elaborate costumes and exquisite belly dancing. -JC

WEDNESDAY JULY 29 Reggie and the Full Effect 6:30pm The Waiting Room, 334 Delaware Ave. $15-$17

[EMO] Songwriter Matt Pryor is well known for his band, the Get Up Kids, but his perpetual side project, Reggie and the Full Effect, is raging strong once again. The band, which has existed on and off since forming in 1998, delivers emo with a synthy punch. They’ll come to the Waiting Room on Wednesday, July 29 to play cuts from their 2000 record Promotional Copy. Buffalo’s Pentimento, the Weaks, and Well Kept Things open the show. -CP

International Tiger Day Musical Celebration 7pm Dreamland, 387 Franklin St.

[INFRINGEMENT] Looping pedals, guitars, and keyboards—Dreamland, one of Buffalo's most diverse art-spaces, will host performances from three established Buffalo melody makers, from jazz to experimental leanings, on Wednesday, July 29. Artists include Pam Swarts, Sarah Golley, and Erica Wolfling. -JC

Slipknot with Lamb of God 6pm Darien Lake, 9993 S Alleghany Rd $30-$150

[METAL] Slipknot takes the stage donned in Ed Gein-style coveralls and creepy masks. You could chalk this up to shock-rock mentality, or you could (and should) disregard it because their appearance doesn’t hold a candle to their scary-good sound. Slipknot’s forte is distilling fury into artfully constructed, infectious melodies without losing their meaty, metal edge. Their songs bash you over the head, but their crafty arrangements always cushion the blow. Catch Slipknot with Lamb of God, Bullet for My Valentine, and Motionless in White at Darien Lake on Wednesday, July 29. -KP

GRACE POTTER TUESDAY JULY 28 6:30PM / ARTPARK, 450 SOUTH 4TH ST. / $12 [ROCK] Grace Potter is a musical powerhouse with a fierce dexterity on multiple instruments, a sweeping vocal range, and a rock muscle that’s as strong as an ox. Formerly with the Nocturnals, Potter is known for her commanding presence in the live arena. Armed with her Flying V guitar, a tambourine, keyboards, and Hammond organ, her instrumental execution—while simultaneously dancing, singing, and vamping to the crowd—makes the blond-haired rock goddess so damned captivating. Multi-tasking abilities aside, the strongest weapon in Potter’s arsenal is her voice, which stretches from gritty and bluesy to tender and heartfelt. Her raw talent and onstage punch caught the attention of legends like the Rolling Stones, Neil Young, and Kenny Chesney. This year, she opened for and sang with all three, and was also recruited by Chesney to record two duets, “Wild Child” and “U and Tequila.” Grace Potter’s next release, Midnight, is set to drop August 14 via Hollywood Records, but she has already teased fans with two smoldering singles, “Look What We’ve Become” and “Empty Heart.” Check them out, and don’t miss Grace Potter with Jessica Lea Mayfield at Artpark on Tuesday, July 28. -KELLIE POWELL

Christina Perri & Colbie Caillat 6:30pm Artpark, 450 South 4th St. $12

[POP] Christina Perri emerged in 2011 with “Jar Of Hearts” off her debut album, Lovestrong. Her lyrics were raw and emotive; her voice was somber as she unabashedly aired her wounds. Her sophomore release, Head or Heart, proved Perri to be a full-bodied pop singer, more confident, introspective, and hot-blooded. Her fiery charisma pairs nicely with the warm liquid sunshine that is Colbie Caillat. Since Caillat’s debut single, “Bubbly” in 2007, the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter has spun, well, bubbly pop singles like “Brighter Than the Sun,” “I Do,” and “Try.” Catch Colbie Caillat and Christina Perri at Artpark on Wednesday, July 29. -KP

Pure Ink Poetry: Bringing Words to Life 6:30pm Rust Belt Books, 415 Grant St

[INFRINGEMENT] As part of their Infringement series Bringing Words to Life, members of Buffalo’s most established spoken-word poetry troupe, Pure Ink Poetry, will grace listeners with original poetry at the new Rust Belt Books location next Wednesday, July 29 at 6:30pm. -JEANNETTE CHIN

LORD HURON TUESDAY JULY 28 7PM / TOWN BALLROOM, 681 MAIN ST. / $23-$26 [INDIE] Indie rock band Lord Huron may be based out of Los Angeles but their soul resides over the foggy waters of Lake Huron. It was on the Michigan shores of Lake Huron that frontman Ben Schneider divined the intense character of Lord Huron’s darkly sparkling indie folk music. Accompanied by a series of Western-styled music videos, the band’s first LP, Lonesome Dreams , set the four-piece on a journey through rivers and windy canyons with smoldering guitars and booming drums on songs like “Brother.” In early 2015, the band followed up their 2012 debut with a logical sequel titled Strange Trails, which, ironically revisited some familiar sounding trails for the band, cementing their signature anthological approach to writing instantly classic indie folk songs. Lord Huron will come to the Town Ballroom on Tuesday, July 28 with Widowspeak. -CORY PERLA

FILM REVIEW

Mark Ruffalo, Imogene Wolodarsky, and Ashley Aufderheide in Infinitely Polar Bear.

YOUNG LIVES IN HARD TIMES A BORROWED IDENTITY, INFINITELY POLAR BEAR, DON’T THINK I’VE FORGOTTEN BY M. FAUST I HAVE LONG BEEN a fan of Israeli filmmaker Eran Riklis, whose movies (The Syrian Bride, Lemon Tree) explore the lives of Arabs in the shadow of Israel. His newest film, A Borrowed Identity, follows the life of Eyad, a boy of exceptional intelligence raised in Tira, an Israeli city with a predominantly Arab population. In the late 1980s he is accepted into the Jerusalem Art and Science Academy, a prestigious boarding school where Arab students are rare. The naïve young man faces unexpected difficulties, both from cultural shifts and local bullies (a minority, but it doesn’t take many of them). He befriends Jonathan, a Jewish student with muscular dystrophy whose mother welcomes him into their family. And he falls in love with another classmate, Naomi, whose family is less welcoming: They have to keep their relationship a secret.

Although the events of the years covered in the film mirror deteriorating relations between the Israelis and Palestinians, A Borrowed Identity steers clear of overt dramatics of a political bent. Its most heated scene comes when Eyad complains in a literature class about the depiction of Arab characters in Israeli novels: always the sexually obsessed, unwashed “others.” For the most part, Eyad’s struggle

with his identity is displayed subtly, sometimes too much so for American viewers who can’t read Hebrew or pick up on other nuances that would be clear to Israeli audiences. But the film’s conclusion, surprising even if signaled by the title, packs a tragic punch. Opening Friday at the Eastern Hills Cinema. *** My favorite film from last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, Infinitely Polar Bear, is finally getting a theatrical release. The title is a play on bipolar disorder, from which writer-director Maya Forbes’s father suffered. Her autobiographical film provides the role of a lifetime for Mark Ruffalo as the manic-depressive dad, the scion of a wealthy New England family who has been passively ostracized because of his difficulties. Because he can’t hold a job, the mother of his two daughters (Zoe Saldana) finds a solution: She is accepted to an MBA program that she can complete in 18 months—this at a time, the late 1970s, when that degree pretty much guaranteed you a good job. The catch is that the program is in New York City, which in the 1970s was no place to raise young

daughters. So while she’s away studying, Dad is going to have to care for their children, something even he isn’t sure he can do. Forbes finds the right balance between darkness and humor in telling a difficult story, and Ruffalo gives one of the most appealing performances I’ve seen from an actor in recent years. Id’ like to think that the film was withheld because the distributor plans to pitch him for an Oscar nomination and didn’t want to compete with his nomination last year (for Foxcatcher). It opens Friday at the Amherst and Eastern Hills. *** The great thing about rock and roll, the fuel of the punk rock movement of the 1970s, is its basic simplicity: Anyone can play it, given a few instruments and a little patience. England wasn’t the only country where the sound was heard, loved, and copied. Kids all over the world picked up guitars and formed bands. In Cambodia, homegrown rock and roll in all its varieties was especially popular in the early days of that country’s independence from French colonial rule. The exhaustive and exhilarating documentary Don’t Think I’ve Forgotten: Cambodia’s Lost Rock and Roll charts the music of that era, adapting all kinds of styles—both musical and sartorial—and fertilizing them with native flavors. Of course, what makes all of this poignant, and the reason that you’ve never heard of any of these musicians, is the events of the 1970s. In the process of a “cleansing” that eventually killed as many as two million Cambodians, the Khmer Rouge began with artists and intellectuals. The particular fates of most of the performers chronicled here is unknown: They died. But they lived on in the memories of those who survived, and that their music can be heard and their performances seen is to the credit of filmmaker John Pirozzi, who worked hard to dig up their traces. Don’t Think I’ve P Forgotten will be screened on Tuesday at Squeaky Wheel.

AMY—She should have gone to rehab, yes, yes, yes. Amy Winehouse’s short life followed a familiar pattern that would be banal if it weren’t so tragic: A young person bursting with talent finds enormous success, only to fall victim to the excesses of celebrity. Asif Kapadia’s documentary benefits from the fact that there was a lot of video footage of the British singer, going back to when she was 14 and already ferociously talented. And if the end result will start more arguments than it settles about who was responsible for her decline, it will also open her work up to viewers who only know the tabloid side of her story. Drag someone to see it and they’ll come away a fan. -MF.

Fall (2006)—but not lately. With Natalie Martinez, Matthew Goode, and Victor Garber. –MF Flix (Dipson), Regal Elmwood, Regal Niagara Falls, Regal Quaker, Regal Transit, Regal Walden Galleria SPY—At last, a starring role for Melissa McCarthy that takes advantage of her substantial talents and doesn’t require her to play a troll. As a CIA desk jockey who gets her first chance at a field assignment, she predictably gets into lots of comic scrapes but just as often displays her physical agility in action scenes. Shooting in numerous European locations, writer-director Paul Feig has fun concocting a gently feminist spoof of the James Bond genre. And he has assembled a terrific ensemble cast in the real sense of that word, including Jason Statham (who plays especially well with McCarthy), Jude Law, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, Allison Janney, and British TV favorites Miranda Hart and Peter Serafinowicz (England’s answer to Hank Azaria). Directed by Paul Feig (Bridesmaids). -MF Four Seasons, Regal Quaker, Regal Transit, Regal Walden Galleria TERMINATOR GENISYS—Not a sequel or a reboot but what the comic book guys call a retcon, short for “retroactive continuity”: altering the previous story to fit in with where the producers now want it to go. That they do so self-consciously is initially amusing if you remember the first two films, which are replayed here in condensed versions with a Sarah Connor who has been raised by a protective Terminator since the age of nine. But the story is stretched and remolded so much that it soon becomes shapeless and impossible to connect with emotionally: two hours of CGI effects animating the corpse of a movie that once thrilled us with its originality and style. –MF Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke, and J. K. Simmons. Directed by Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World). Flix (Dipson), Regal Elmwood, Regal Niagara Falls, Regal Quaker, Regal Transit, Regal Walden Galleria TESTAMENT OF YOUTH—BBC adaptation of the memoir of Vera Brittain about her experiences during what was known 100 years ago as “the War to End All Wars.” If only it had been. Brittain (Alicia Vikander) is a teenager just headed to university when the war breaks out and all the young men she knows rush to enlist, convinced that it is a noble cause (and that they’ll be home by Christmas). Grim but not unwatchably so, Testament of Youth at times seems redundant: Despite its emotional impact, do we really need another film that tells us war is bad? But you don’t have to think about it for too long to realize that yes, we do. With Taron Egerton, Kit Harington, Dominic West, Emily Watson, and Miranda Richardson. Directed by James Kent (The Thirteenth Tale). -MF. Amherst (Dipson) ENDS THURS JULY 23 TRAINWRECK—The combination of edgy comedienne Amy Schumer (writer, star) and director/ comedy guru Judd Apatow (working for the first time from a screenplay he didn’t write) will cause no one to say, “It’s exactly what I was expecting.” As a struggling Manhattan journalist devoted to drugs, drinking and hookups, Schumer draws on the comic persona she has honed on three seasons of her Comedy Central sketch show. But while the film contains plenty of the satirical jabs at modern gender issues that made the show a success, it takes a more serious look at the character as she falls in love and considers monogamy. Consistently surprising in ways you won’t expect (the ending is preposterous, inconsistent and adorable, all at the same time); it’s probably the only Hollywood movie of the summer that you need to see if you’re over 25. In a cast headed by Bill Hader, Brie Larson, Colin Quinn, and Tilda Swinton, the funniest scenes belong to LeBron James and John Cena. –MF.

ASSISTED LIVING “EXPOSED ON TINDER”

BY KEITH BUCKLEY

PHOTO BY SHAWNA STANLEY

MUST SEE:

VISUAL INFRINGEMENT

From top to bottom: Steven Myers at ArtSpace; Melissa Campbell at Perks Cafe; Cole Pawlowski at Dreamland; Yinimi Galego at Dreamland.

DEAR KEITH: I found my friend’s boyfriend on Tinder. They’ve been dating for about a year. I have no idea if he has actually cheated on her or for that matter interacted with anybody through Tinder; he simply has a profile. Do I tell her or keep my mouth shut? PS: I swiped left.—EXPOSED ON TINDER EXPOSED ON TINDER: Firstly, let’s agree that “keeping one’s mouth shut” is a slang term meaning “excitedly revealing one’s discovery to everyone except one’s friend.” With that established, we can now address the crux of your dilemma, which is—in this unlicensed counselor’s opinion—that the image you have of yourself as an arbiter of justice and a selfappointed apostle of moral righteousness stands in direct opposition to your inner enthusiasm over having sole possession of such a devastatingly powerful and succulent little “secret.” Of course you should alert your friend to her boyfriend’s suspicious activities, especially before she hears it from someone else who heard it from you, because, as we all know, the only good thing that ever came out of conjecture and hearsay was REO Speedwagon’s 1980 smash hit “Take It on the Run.” Like “the Wet Bandits” in Home Alone or burp enthusiast Robert Durst, her boyfriend is practically begging to get caught, and exposing him for the socially awkward, secretly unhappy, and unsatisfied sex maven he is would most likely be doing both of them an enormous favor. If it doesn’t bring a timely end to what may be a fraudulent relationship, it could at least force a discussion between them that by now ought to have been had, and after you pull the rug out from under her you can walk away feeling nothing short of saintly and victorious. Bravo. That’s the easy part. The more difficult matter at hand is how we can stop making absolutely everything about us. I’m going to do away with the false pretense that you’re stranded at an ethical crossroads here because in truth both of your options lead in one direction, and that’s directly back toward yourself. Had you said that you are worried this information you now possess might ruin your life-long friendship or her decade-long marriage, it would have elicited an entirely different though equally eloquent bi-weekly installment of this column. But you know as well as I do that your friendship with her isn’t at risk because she’s only been dating this dude for a short while, and once she sees the evidence you present her, she will thank you in her own way and handle her boyfriend accordingly. So what the issue here actually becomes is “which option is more beneficial for me.” On one side of the coin, if you choose not to tell her, you maintain your grip on a very powerful weapon which you can and will eventually use against her. I say “will” because if you’re the type of friend who does not help other friends become aware of and eliminate negative aspects of their lives, then you are the type of friend who will eventually find herself angrily using psychological weapons

when they are no longer considered friends. On the very same side of the very same coin, if you do tell her, you stand to become the one true friend she has above all others, like some emotional Highlander. You taketh away her sense of stability only to giveth right back, and that feeleth sensational. As she weeps or rages, it’s you who is there to comfort her. Mother fucking Teresa. Somebody take a picture. Imagine the applause when people hear of your good deed. Thank god you went on the internet to look for horny dudes in your proximity or you never would have had this chance to use her suffering as a way to feel better about yourself. I’ve already said that the obvious “right” thing to do is to tell your friend that her man is a scrub and no self-respecting woman should want no scrubs, but this is a textbook example of what I call the “selfless narcissism” that plagues a large number of us interneters. It’s a bulletproof showboating of compassion that, by it’s very nature, is immune to criticism—like filming a Vine of yourself giving money to the homeless or retweeting people who tell you that reading your Twitter (@deathoftheparty FYI. Over 60k followers. Verified. No big deal, really. I do it because I love my fans) is the highlight of their day. No one in their right mind would ever shame you for being a good friend who just “keeps it real,” but the source from which good deeds such as this spring is so obviously self-absorbed that it makes the humble roll their eyes right out of their head. And yet I cannot refute the fact that the position you find yourself in is the meddler’s paradise. Suddenly your desire to gossip and your insatiable need to garner attention has a higher purpose. Telling your friend about her boyfriend’s Tinder account will greatly benefit an impervious victim, invariably strengthen your bond of friendship, expose a liar and a cheat, enhance your reputation as a considerate human being, and it just so happens that as a result you will feel great about yourself and all the good you’re doing. And that, “Exposed on Tinder,” makes me want to puke. I bid you good day.
