Smug Revisionism

We’ve got lots more commentary on our November 16 special issue on Donald Trump’s election in the queue, so let’s blast through it, shake off this foreboding malaise, and welcome the final month of this godforsaken year with eggnog in hand and a smile on our faces.

On Jeffrey C. Billman’s piece, [“I Got It Wrong”], Mike Moore writes: “I was really worried when I started reading this that the left might actually be engaging in real introspection and looking at what they had done to a large segment of the population. Fortunately, I can see that you are still engaging in smug revisionism and retrenching your lines of smug elitism. You had me fooled for a minute there!”

Lauratee rises to Billman’s defense: “This is beautiful. If one thinks the editorial smug, this is the problem with not being a critical thinker.

Simple, broad, unrealistic, and often prejudiced ‘solutions’ are all this type can understand.

And they can’t be expected to understand why this article is so spot on.

Depressing!”

Commenter nyiregyhazilany—guessing that’s a pen name—is angry: “First of all, everyone can find culpable the people on the Republican side for this disaster, but if we are honest, the people we should be most upset with are the six million to eight million who voted previously for Obama but for some stupid, misconstrued conscience and other bullshit reason didn’t find Hillary as pure as snow and didn’t go to vote or voted for some shit protest candidate, the ones who believed all the garbage the Republicans spewed. Our glorious, ‘educated’ millennials, virtuous, uncompromising lefties, who decided to vote for their conscience or not vote at all, without any conscious thought of the consequences, gave the steering wheel to these elements. Where was the outcry to understand the consequences of choosing the Supreme Court judge, the future of EPA, climate change, human/civil rights, etc.? No. I am

sick of blaming the other side but not accepting how little we have done to demand from our so-called liberal media or politicians to give us a clear picture of what is realistic and reasonable to achieve. How did Hillary, with close to a 70 percent approval rating by both parties [before running for president], become a pariah, instead of the role model to all the women and young girls, as the picture of shining persistence, even when a male-dominant society slung mud relentlessly?”

Responding to Brian Howe’s essay [“Poor White Man”], Eric Knight writes: “I think we’ve been distracted into thinking so lowly of poor whites so as not to focus our attention on the system that benefits from their poverty and ignorance. Liberals gave into growth-at-all-cost economics because the system worked relatively well for many of us, blinding us to alternatives that would uplift poor Americans of all racial and geographic backgrounds.”

Meanwhile, George Keen argues that our issue overlooked how terrible Trump’s opponent was. “I read your latest issue condemning Trump and telling all that can read that we as a nation are doomed,” he writes. “I have a hard time understanding how it is that you don’t really understand just what kind of person Hillary Clinton really is. Please educate yourselves on her background and at least know who you are so strongly supporting. I am not a Trump supporter myself, but knowing what I do about Clinton, I am much more able to live with this outcome. Be careful standing so far left that you forget how to learn the reality of life. Whoever is running and paying for your paper must be an ignorant person to allow such misinformation to be published.”

“Whoever is running your paper must be an ignorant person to allow such misinformation to be published.”

triangulator +PLEASE READ BEFORE SIGNING

In October, the INDY sued the McCrory administration over public records requests made throughout 2016 that have gone ignored and unanswered. Last week, the administration started responding to parts of those requests related to that lawsuit, including staff correspondence with news networks after HB 2 was passed, messages involved in the drafting of a pro-HB 2 press release, and the governor’s and his chief of staff’s emails regarding HB 2 and the Charlotte ordinance that precipitated it. Many of the emails were rote, but a few piqued our interest. One, for instance, shows that soonto-be-former Governor McCrory was still being advised on the law he signed two days after he signed it by a key legislator involved in the bill. Another email shows that McCrory complained to an American Airlines executive after the company denounced the law.

In the early hours of March 25, state representative and HB 2 sponsor Dan Bishop sent an email to McCrory that began with, “Q: Why could the General Assembly not simply reverse the ‘bathroom provision’ of the Charlotte ordinance?” It’s unclear what prompted Bishop to write that email, though the governor’s team had reportedly wanted to focus narrowly on the bathroom aspect of the Charlotte ordinance, while legislative Republicans wanted a further-reaching measure. This email, two days after the bill was passed in a special session, is apparently Bishop’s attempt to explain their logic to McCrory.

“The City Council, in amending an existing ordinance to mandate cross-sex bathroom access in local businesses, not only acted beyond their delegated authority, they also created direct conflicts with at least two state statutes, the Building Code and the indecent exposure statute, both of which already preclude unisex use and operation of such facilities,” Bishop wrote.

“Had we attempted to write a bill just to forbid cities from passing ordinances allowing use of opposite-sex facilities, we would have created a third statutory conflict, but no clear resolution.”

In the email, Bishop also admitted that a 6 | 11.30.16 | INDYweek.com

“prohibition on wage regulation”—i.e., preventing municipalities from raising the local minimum wage—was driven by a desire to placate the business community.

“Indeed, the one remaining section of the bill, preempting cities’ regulation of their contractors’ business practices, was essential to prevent the City from imposing mandates on businesses located outside city limits,” Bishop continued. “The prohibition on wage regulation is the only item that was not strictly necessary, but it also was well warranted and will be welcomed by businesses.”

McCrory forwarded the email to deputy campaign manager Billy Constangy with the note, “I need hard copy of this delivered to house. Pat.” In another McCrory email, the governor forwarded a news story in which an American Airlines spokeswoman condemned HB 2 to American Airlines managing director for government relations Chuck Allen with the message: “A total mischaracterization of bill and our state. shameful [sic].”

+DAMAGE CONTROL

It was five shots. Or was it four?

There was a struggle. Or was he running away from police when he was gunned down?

He fired at the cops first. Or maybe he didn’t fire at all.

Those who showed up to a community meeting at T.A. Grady Recreation Center Monday evening—a gathering designed to bring city police and residents of McDougald Terrace together in the aftermath of the fatal shooting, by the Durham Police Department, of Frank “Scooter Bug” Clark—didn’t get the answers to those questions.

We don’t know that because we heard the conversation, but rather because we were told so after the fact. In fact, the media was barred from entering, and residents were told they couldn’t record the meeting or take photographs. Residents were also asked not to speak with the press, though several did anyway.

“We wanted to make sure our residents could speak without being on camera,” Dur-

ham Housing Authority director Anthony Scott told The News & Observer.

“They said it was to protect our identity—to make sure we could speak our minds without putting our safety in jeopardy,” one resident told the INDY. That didn’t stop the DPD from tweeting photos of the meeting.

City manager Thomas Bonfield told the INDY that he planned to release a report on the shooting Tuesday, after the newspaper goes to press. But here’s what we know now: last Tuesday, less than twenty-four hours after the city council voted to spend $1.4 million on body cameras, Clark was shot by police in McDougald Terrace. Eyewitnesses said the incident started when an unmarked police car was seen “circling the block,” prompting “everyone who was out here to take to running,” as one told the INDY. But Clark remained, walking away slowly until he “locked eyes” with an officer he knew.

Then, the witness said, he fled. Moments later, shots rang out.

But that wasn’t quite the narrative police chief C.J. Davis provided a few hours after the incident. Reading from a news release, she said that officers “encountered a man on foot around 12:30 p.m. and stopped to speak with him. During the conversation, the man made a sudden movement toward his waistband and a struggle ensued. During the struggle, the officers heard a gunshot. In response, an officer fired his weapon.”

Those who live in McDougald Terrace were less than satisfied with her explanation. A protest unfolded the following day outside police headquarters. Clark’s family retained an attorney. Then this meeting was announced—which angered many of those who converged on the rec center.

Umar Muhammad, a community organizer with the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, said it accomplished nothing.

“I believe that the Durham Police Department has taken an opportunity to scratch our residents of Durham behind the ear. I feel like it was an opportunity to pretend that you care, to pretend that you were present,” he said.

Dorel Clayton characterized it as “damage control”—an attempt to gauge whether the city’s black community was still enraged.

A man who asked to remain anonymous was shocked that only one member of the city council, Steve Schewel, attended. (On Twitter, council members Charlie Reece

MDD Study

and Jillian Johnson said they were told the meeting was just for residents.) As for police officers who were present—some were greeted with cries of “murderer” and “fuck the police”—the man said, “This is the first and last time we’ll see them over here. And the same thing gonna happen next week.”

+UNDER THE HOODS

In June 1987, when Michael Galinsky heard the KKK was planning a march through Chapel Hill’s main thoroughfare of East Franklin Street, he grabbed his camera and a bunch of film. A day earlier, he had graduated from high school, where he’d been a photographer for the school yearbook, but this was his first real shoot. The negatives from that day sat unseen for years until Galinsky, now an acclaimed documentarian and photographer, returned to the area.

After posting a few of the pictures online, Galinsky learned that UNC’s radio station, WXYC, had done interviews that day. He got ahold of the audio and with his wife, Suki, married his images with sound. The resulting four-minute video installation is currently on view as part of the Nasher’s Southern Accent show, which runs through January 8.

The KKK marches on East Franklin Street, June 15, 1987. PHOTO BY MICHAEL GALINSKY A few weeks ago, Galinsky’s shots of hooded supremacists parading past quaint Sutton’s Drug Store might have seemed like remnants of the region’s ugly past. But these images take on a fresh, chilling resonance in the wake of Donald Trump’s election and the KKK’s subsequent announcement of a “victory march” in North Carolina, suppos-

The Frohlich Lab at UNC-Chapel Hill is looking for individuals who would be interested in participating in a clinical research study. This study is testing the effect of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on mood symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder.

Transcranial current stimulation is a technique that delivers a very weak current to the scalp. Treatment has been well tolerated with no serious side-effects reported. This intervention is aimed at restoring normal brain activity and function which may reduce mood symptoms experienced with Major Depressive Disorder. We are looking for individuals between the ages of 18 and 65, diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder currently not taking benzodiazepines or antiepileptic drugs.

You can get compensated up to $280 for completing this study. If you are interested in learning more, contact our study coordinator at: courtney_lugo@med.unc.edu Or call us at (919)962-5271

edly planned for December 3 at a location that has not been confirmed.

T

he thing we really love about fashion is how egalitarian it is.

If that sounds counterintuitive, it's because we don't mean capital-F fashion, with its emphasis on luxury, expense, and exclusivity. We mean the fashion that everyone who wears clothes—which is to say, everyone—expresses every day, whether they craft their own garments, assemble chic looks at thrift shops, or creatively alter mass-market clothes to make them their own. An off-the-rack Batman T-shirt, when decisions are made about how to accent it, becomes style as surely as does the latest Banana Republic peacoat.

In the INDY's first-ever Style Issue, we delve into the question of how—and, more important, why—to dress from a variety of angles, with reporting on local eco-fashion, maker culture, North Carolina cotton, and much more. We also provide tips and tricks for shopping, whether at high-end local retailers and brands or humble thrift stores—how to get the most bang for your buck and the best fits for your frame.

And of course, since fashion is fun, we also have some fun with it, especially in our four-page spread of paper dress-up dolls that send up how to dress where in the Triangle. Print it out online or pick up a couple of copies of the paper (safety scissors not included) to dress your doll to the nines.

The best definition of "cool" I ever heard, though I can't remember where, is that cool is making something out of nothing. That's the cornerstone of all the elements of style we survey in these pages, and we hope you'll come away agreeing with us that the people of the Triangle are pretty damn cool.

Happy scrappy shopping, making, and flaunting.

—Brian Howe

STYLE

ISSUE

Shopping Is Hard HATE TO BUY CLOTHES BUT NEED A NEW LOOK? TIME TO CALL IN A PRO.

BY ALLISON HUSSEY I am not fashionable. As a teen, I decided it was an entirely frivolous concern, and because I thought of myself as a very serious person, I was content to live comfortably in T-shirts and jeans forever. So far, I’ve done an excellent job of that, even landing full-time employment at a workplace where the dress code is … casual, to put it kindly.

I’ve never bothered to think much about my personal style. But I’ve entered the “grown-up” life phase where social functions don’t generally involve forties of Miller High Life, where the “just tumbled out of a rock club” look doesn’t go as far as it once did, and where I’ve discovered the woeful truth that Target doesn’t stock appropriate attire for all occasions. On top of all that, I’ve realized that wearing the same thing every day is sort of boring. A cardigan can only spice up a band T-shirt so far.

Here’s the rub, though: I hate shopping.

The prospect of it fills me with dread; the practice incites a peculiar mix of disappointment and fury, the result of trying on a million different things and not a single one looking right. It’s hard to figure out what you want when you don’t even know where to start.

Thus, I leapt at the opportunity to recruit a personal shopper to help me make some new choices. I’d watched plenty of TLC’s What Not to Wear growing up but somehow absorbed none of its messages, save for “no platform flip-flops, ever.” But instead of Stacy and Clinton, I met up with the warm, affable Ashley McIntyre, a twenty-six-yearold Atlanta native who now lives in Durham.

As a lifelong lover of clothes, she started consulting her friends on their wardrobes before parlaying her skills into a side gig as a personal shopper.

After I answered a few of her questions about my tastes and preferences, McIntyre and I met up one afternoon at Southpoint Mall. As we shopped, it became clear that she has an awe-inspiring eye for clothing.

On the way to a fitting room at Macy’s, she spied a navy blue dress and grabbed it for me to try on. It wasn’t something I’d have chosen

for myself, but it fit perfectly and looked great, and it was marked down to less than thirty dollars.

Shopping with someone who knew what to do made it actually fun, but alas, we can’t all have personal shoppers all the time. Throughout our trip, McIntyre shared some of her most helpful tips for a positive shopping adventure that ends with you looking and feeling great.

Good luck!

THREE PIECES MAKE AN OUTFIT This idea was news to me, which probably explains a lot of my sartorial shortcomings. Mix and match your stuff! The finer details of accessorizing might require a whole other master class, but McIntyre says that three pieces—like a blouse and skirt with a cardigan, or a dress with a jacket and a scarf—generally make an outfit feel complete. My clothing choices tend to be utilitarian, so McIntyre helped me select pieces that could be used for a couple of different looks rather than single, standalone outfits. They can be toned down for casual settings or shined up for nicer ones.

FIND YOUR PROPORTIONS With mass-produced clothing that assumes “one style fits most,” it can be difficult to find individual items that perfectly flatter our widely varied body types. Even so, McIntyre points out, most female bodies have the same “hourglass” shape—just in different proportions. These are sometimes explained with fruit comparisons—apple-shaped, pear-shaped, and so on—but those aren’t always helpful descriptors, either. I’m long-legged with a relatively short torso. High-waisted outfits almost always work well for me, but a drop-waist dress that might look gorgeous on a woman with a longer, slimmer torso probably won’t do me any favors. Properly addressing your body’s proportions can guide what kinds of clothing you choose to seek, but you can also achieve this end by simply tucking in a blouse or cinching a dress with a belt.

Before (inset) and after: Drab to fab! PHOTOS BY BEN MCKEOWN BALANCE YOUR SHAPES AND PATTERNS This guideline complements the proportion principle. If you’ve got a favorite billowy blouse, for example, don’t pair it with a long, flowy skirt. A better choice might be to wear it with slim-fitting jeans to avoid looking like your outfit is swallowing you whole. Avoid too many busy, clashing patterns on your items, too.

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE CRAZY EXPENSIVE Thrifting is a wallet-friendly way of life (see p. 20), but McIntyre notes that finding great

new clothes doesn’t have to break the bank.

The money you’ll save is worth the patience you’ll need to comb through crowded clearance racks, but don’t be afraid to bail if you’re not finding anything. Stores like Nordstrom Rack—one of McIntyre’s favorites—can offer snappy pieces at much lower prices than big brand-name stores. My budget for our outing was a hundred dollars, and I went home with three quality, versatile pieces I’ll be able to use for years to come. ahussey@indyweek.com

"Style isn't as important as feeling comfortable in my skin and being my true self. If what I'm wearing doesn't reflect that, I can't function. There's more important things than thinking about what you are going to wear every day. So I end up wearing lots of tight black clothes and boots, which makes me feel like a ninja.

PHOTOS FROM THE UNC DIGITAL T-SHIRT ARCHIVE

Slang in My White T

CAMPUS QUIPS AND POP-CULTURE BLIPS CODED IN UNC’S DIGITAL T-SHIRT ARCHIVE

BY JAMIE STUART In UNC-Chapel Hill’s Wilson Library, the thick quiet makes you nervous to drop a pen. But the history department’s most recent archival initiative might be more appealing to the T-shirt-clad students swarming campus than to traditional historians. The UNC T-Shirt Archive (www. unctshirtarchive.tumblr.com) hosts an ever-growing digital photo album of important—and not so important—moments in Carolina student history.

2. SOULJA ROY Other T's document more fleeting moments in pop culture. The mid2000s phenomenon that was Soulja Boy’s “Crank That” injected itself into everything, from viral YouTube videos and street dances to, yes, UNC basketball. Roy Williams’s sunglasses overlaid with the goofily written “Soulja Roy” is the focal point of this 2008 T-shirt, worn proudly by Tar Heels supporting a team that would go on to win the 2009 NCAA National Championship.

1. CHOO-CHOO The oldest T-shirt currently in the archive honors Charlie “Choo-Choo” Justice, a two-time All-American who helped build the reputation of UNC football and is now immortalized in a statue near Kenan Memorial Stadium. According to Roger Nelsen, who contributed the shirt, his mother-in-law got it signed in the late-1940s at a department store in Asheville.

3. PASS THE BUTTER Another 2008 T-shirt

commemorates not only the glory days of Kendall Marshall’s buttery basketball skills, but also the student-run streetwear brand Thrill City. Originally run by Ryan Cocca, the brand was known for witty, unusual designs.

Unfortunately, it closed in 2015, when the last of its founders graduated.

4. DORM PRIDE Friendly dorm rivalries are a key facet of student life at UNC, especially

among freshmen. While Hinton James, or “HoJo,” is the largest freshmen dorm, each has a sense of pride. “It was always fun to see someone wearing the same dorm community shirt on campus because it made for an easy icebreaker,” remembers contributor Diana Roycroft. “I remember some communities were envious of some of the shirts, so they became a hot commodity.”

5. WE GON’ BE ALRIGHT The Black Student Movement at UNC was founded in 1957, six years after the first black student enrolled at the university. The goal was to battle issues of recruiting, admissions, and integration on campus. The movement is still needed today, and this Black Student Movement T-shirt boosts a resonant message with a culturally relevant reference. The back design proudly boasts Kendrick Lamar’s brutally hopeful lyric “We gon’ be alright,” from “Alright,” a song from last year’s To Pimp a Butterfly. backtalk@indyweek.com INDYweek.com | 11.30.16 | 19

Extravagant Thrift

A LITTLE PATIENCE AND TWENTY BUCKS CAN GO A LONG WAY

BY SARAH SCHMADER Our closets change with every chapter of our lives—a new job, a move, or just growing up. Your T-shirt collection is replaced by work blouses; tennis shoes are oneupped by sensible heels. You keep a few faded trusties with sentimental value: that skirt you were wearing on your twenty-first birthday, or the concert T-shirt you cried into when the singer gave you a hug. But generally, turnover is high in the clothing department. Why spend big bucks on pieces that will likely only define you for a few years? (There are some exceptions—we’ll get to that.)

I’ve never been one to spend a lot of money on things I know I’ll eventually lose.

That’s why, when I had to dress nicely for press conferences and presentations in college, I truly dove into the world of secondhand shopping. The Triangle overflows 20 | 11.30.16 | INDYweek.com

with thrift stores and boutiques, each with something it’s uniquely good for. For every wonderful custom-made dress, there’s a secondhand shop with an only-worn-once vintage shirtdress waiting to be found.

My entire apartment is furnished by TROSA (3500 North Roxboro Street, Durham). My pride and joy is a reclining loveseat I paid thirty-five dollars for. If you need furniture, this is the spot. They have every sort of chair, couch, end table, coffee table, shelving system, and chest of drawers you could dream of, mostly in awesome condition. They get funky pieces in every week and will keep you updated via Instagram. They’re also A+ in their selection of housewares and odd decorations (glass jars, candlesticks, salt and pepper shakers), in addition to a hefty selection of books, DVDs, and VHS tapes.

THE

STYLE

TROSA also has rows and rows of clothes, but I’ve never had much luck finding good pieces there. This would not be my first pick for killer clothing finds, although a slight nod to their T-shirt selection is in order.

The charm of the Salvation Army Family Store (3167 Hillsborough Road, Durham) is that it’s usually relatively empty, giving you plenty of room to divide and conquer or mosey through the aisles. It’s not too hot in the furniture department, and earns a solid B in the household oddities category, but it gets a raging standing ovation for its dress assortment. It’s a treasure chest for sensible, well-made secondhand dresses, a secret I’ve kept in my pocket for a while now (you’re welcome, masses of female yo-pros). I rarely walk out without two or three dresses I get complimented on for weeks. They are also a highly rated choice for skirts and, sometimes, even footwear.

Now we come to the holy land: Durham Rescue Mission (3900 Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard, Durham). Though the store is always 100 percent riddled with crowds, it’s worth carving out an hour to find what you need. The men in the furniture department are angels on Earth who will help you find exactly what you’re looking for and get it into your car. This store is also a gold mine for dresses and skirts. Good shoes can be found, and jeans, if you have the patience to dig through the rows. I’ve found great jackets, with lots of leather garments priced stupid-cheap. Durham Rescue Mission can do no wrong unless you’re looking for kitchen items or decorations, a completely disorganized mess.

The Chapel Hill/Carrboro area isn’t exactly rich with thrifting options, but the PTA Thrift Shop (103 South Elliott Road, Chapel Hill) is the best. The cool thing is that they have a comprehensive technology area staffed with a human to answer questions and even fix items you find there.

PTA is also a very solid option for clothes (except for shoes), especially outerwear.

What it lacks in furniture (they put the few good items out front), it makes up for in household items and groovy decorations.

The dark horse of secondhand shops is Father & Son Antiques (107 West Hargett Street, Raleigh). It’s a legitimate vintage shop, so the prices are higher, but this store is four levels of awesome. You can find anything, particularly dresses and furniture.

I’ve spent hours just meandering through the floors, and my most prized dresses come from here. Father & Son will not steer

you wrong with statement furniture; their T-shirt game is on point as well.

It’s worth mentioning that I’m not a believer in getting everything at thrift stores. It’s important to have a few pairs of new jeans that you can break in. Also, boots—just get a new pair that’ll last a few years. And I don’t even understand people who donate underwear and bras to thrift stores. Don’t buy them.

Finally, keep in mind that thrifting is a game of give and take. Donate pieces you no longer want to these shops so they can take on a new role in someone else’s closet. The clothing circle of life is a beautiful one; now go forth and do your part. sschmader@indyweek.com

THRIFTING TIPS AND TRICKS DON’T RUSH IT Most thrift stores are organized very strangely, if at all, and they have, well, a shit-ton of clothes in them. There’s no “running in real quick” to find something you need. If you’re looking for gems, take time to dig.

HAVE A PLAN You could absolutely go to Salvation Army to browse if you want to blow fifty dollars on a phallic vase you just had to have, or a cap with “World’s Best Pop-Pop” stitched on it. That’s totally cool, but it’s best to go with a mission. If you need dresses for the office or the perfect pair of black jeans, set your sights on that.

It’ll be a much more effective trip if you can focus on just one section of the sprawling store.

DON’T GET FRUSTRATED I’ve gone to Durham Rescue Mission on my lunch hour and been unable to find a parking spot. I’ve seen TROSA on Sunday morning with a line ten deep. Prepare to be annoyed, and keep in mind that people clogging up the aisles are working through the same process as you. Finding clothes at the thrift store is a process, and everyone has their own—though mine is the best, so I hope you’ve been taking notes.

EXOTIQUE Exotique has flourished for a decade on Durham’s West Main Street, with a focus on jewelry, art, and clothing made by an international creative community. It’s a gift store, boutique, and gallery with a distinct sensibility and a commitment to community. Come for handbags from Guatemala in dazzling hues, Ghanaian shirts for men, fabrics from many nations, soaps and lotions, and a range of jewelry and objets d’art to fit a range of budgets. 319 West Main Street, Durham, 919-688-5747, www.theexotique.com

THE ART OF STYLE They mean what they say at The Art of Style: the look is chic, cosmopolitan, and modern, with a monochromatic palette that would please even the most fashion-forward urban dwellers.

The store carries men’s and women’s clothes by a slate of distinctive designer brands— familiar names like Kenneth Cole along with N.C. brands like Wilmington’s Forge & Foundry, hip footwear from BED|STÜ, and specialty items like heavenly socks made in Italy by Punto. Look here for that cool item your closet is lacking. 19 West Hargett Street, Raleigh, 919-755-3333, www.theartofstyleboutique.com

FURBISH STUDIO The sensibility at this home décor mecca is zippy, cheeky, and not beholden to the merely functional. It’s the place to seek out items that add elan to your staid interiors: rugs, prints, lamps, pillows, throws, trays, and glassware with a certain attitude, whether by virtue of distinctive hues or a throw pillow with “Everyone’s a Dumb Whore” stitched in needlepoint.

But whether its charming doodads and knickknacks you seek, or something more upscale, like the best-selling paper geranium plant, it’s not a spot to go for bargains.

Step one: Cut out the gender-neutral paper doll to the right. (Go ahead and grab a couple of copies of the paper if you need to—really, we don't mind.)

Step two: Select your destination, whether it's a concert at Cat's Cradle, the grocery store in the middle of the night, or a meetand-greet at a tech start-up hub.

Step three: Cut out your outfit of choice and affix it to the doll with the tabs provided to see how it looks.

Slow Clothes

BUYING FROM LOCAL MAKERS CAN BE COSTLY, BUT THE THOUGHTFULNESS IT INSPIRES IS WORTH IT

BY HANNAH PITSTICK In a booth at the Durham Art Walk Holiday Market one Saturday morning, Nicole Kligerman tells two very different stories with the clothing she wears—one of fast fashion and one of slow fashion.

Over a simple black top from American Eagle and jeans from Urban Outfitters, she wears a vibrant, indigo-dyed silk kimono with a digitally printed moon hand-sewn across the back. Kligerman is the head of product development for Sprout Patterns, a division of Spoonflower, but today she is just helping out her friend River Takada-Capel by selling the designer’s handmade apparel, including the kimonos.

After graduating from college, Kligerman worked as an intern for fashion corporations until she realized she didn’t want to be complicit with an industry that is the secondlargest producer of waste in the world.

“I’m not going to lie to you, these are Urban Outfitters, this is American Eagle, and I’m going to wear them until they die because I chose not to work in those corporations, and so I chose to take a pay cut,” she says, pointing to her outfit. “Buying local clothing is something that’s important to me, but I can’t afford a whole wardrobe of handmade, locally made clothing.”

Takada-Capel has been living and working in Durham for the past four years, and in Carrboro before that, hand-dyeing reclaimed material and upcycled vintage with indigo in her backyard. She is part of a diverse and growing community of apparel makers in the Triangle who define the aesthetic of area fashion.

“This is not a cheap piece of clothing,” Kligerman says of the kimono. “I had to think about purchasing this, whereas if I went to Target, I might buy multiple items and not even think about it. Buying from local makers is more meaningful because you really think about how it fits into your wardrobe. It’s a thoughtfulness in consumption that many people are already thinking about with food, but hasn’t quite clicked yet with apparel.”

In addition to the Makery in Durham and area pop-up shops, the work of many of these makers can be found at www.the-

One of River Takada-Capel's indigo-dyed kimonos makersmercantile.com, an online shop that features hand-picked pieces from local and independent artists in the Triangle, including a chambray dot infinity scarf by Shibui South, Anna Nickles’s textile line, and a series of relaxed, flowing tops and dresses by Rise & Ramble, Andy Schmidt’s line of handdyed clothing made from natural fibers.

Maria Carroll-Holton and Maggie Meyer of Durham launched The Makers Mercantile in June after identifying a need for an

PHOTO COURTESY OF LATE BLOOMERS CO.

online space that connects local makers with a community that appreciates their craftsmanship.

“The idea started with us meeting some local artists and realizing that, while there were a lot of pop-ups and markets on weekends, there wasn’t an ability to shop local artists online,” Meyer says. “By having the goods available 24-7 and broadening the market for the artists, we’ve had people from California, Georgia, and all over the Unit-

ed States purchasing local art from North Carolina.”

“Telling the story behind the goods is also a mission of ours, and something that has been a huge success—you feel connected to the pieces,” adds Carroll-Holton.

The common thread of locally sourced fashion, especially the clothing coming out of Durham, is functional, casual apparel with soul—pieces that manage to express both the maker and the environment in which the piece was made. That theme likely stems from the fact that many makers began as traditional visual artists.

“There are many artists who went to art school and realized they couldn’t sell their art, so they’re going into design,” says Lee Moore Crawford, a visual artist and printmaker with the Makery. “Gabe [Eng-Goetz] from Runaway does beautiful drawings and paintings, but many people want to buy items that they wear or can use, so we, as artists, diversify and find a way to do what we love.”

Crawford has diversified by collaborating with Takada-Capel to create skinny silk scarves digitally printed at Spoonflower with Crawford’s designs, giving people access to local art in a form that’s functional and comparatively affordable, at forty dollars a scarf.

Runaway has an even lower bar to entry, starting at twenty-six dollars for hats and T-shirts, with an aesthetic of embracing progress while honoring the past; the proceeds from its Bulletproof Collection benefit North Carolinians Against Gun Violence.

Raleigh is also seeing growth in fashion as activism, with nonprofits such as Redress Raleigh, which promotes eco-fashion (see p.

30) and is currently raising money to open an incubator space where it can continue to develop local designers who want to combat fast fashion. It’s part of a growing movement in the Triangle to help people “take their small, handcrafted business to the next level,” says Kligerman, who is also operations director at Redress Raleigh.

In all, it’s a fast time for slow fashion. backtalk@indyweek.com INDYweek.com | 11.30.16 | 29

FROM SOCIAL INJUSTICE TO ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE, THESE LOCAL OUTFITS ARE TRYING TO SAVE THE WORLD

BY CORBIE HILL As a college student, Rebecca Kuhns slept outside in fifteen-degree weather as a protest against sweatshop conditions. Then she finished med school.

She says that, as a black woman, she was raised to seek a prestigious career—medicine, law, academia—to honor the struggles of the people who made civil rights and professional opportunity a reality. So she became a physician, though the fire for social justice she felt as an undergrad still burned.

Earlier this year, she gave herself permission to bring it fully into focus. On November 26, she opened Liberation Threads, a boutique that only stocks carefully vetted fair-trade clothing, at 405A East Chapel Hill Street in Durham.

"I'm still that radical college kid at heart," Kuhns says. "It's just that now I have resources to channel my passions into generative endeavors and not just protest."

At Liberation Threads, Kuhns works with brands that honor the humanity of their workers. One, Global Mamas, has the name of the woman who sewed the garment on its tag; another, Outland Denim, has a thankyou note from the seamstresses printed on the pocket label of each pair of jeans. The labor force, rather than the consumer, is the focal point, and in the store, Kuhns displays pictures of the women who crafted the collection. She is especially aware of the critical importance of maintaining the labor force's humanity.

"My ancestors were literally the 'property' on which the antebellum South was built," she says.

Kuhns's store is just the latest ethically minded fashion entity in North Carolina.

Burlington screen-printing company TS Designs aligns itself directly with the local green movement, while Echoview Fiber and Spiritex bring responsible manufacturing to western North Carolina. The Morganton-based Carolina Textile District works to pair designers with local manufacturers.

In Charlotte, recycled garment company Recover Brands can make a T-shirt out of eight plastic bottles. In Durham, Spoonflower's digital textile printing process allows for small-batch manufacture, enabling design30 | 11.30.16 | INDYweek.com

And in the Oak City, Redress Raleigh helps designers and consumers understand how to minimize the ecological and human cost of their fashion decisions. From widespread pollution to human rights abuses, the fashion industry has significant problems.

The stakes are high: our climate, people’s lives.

"The industry will try to adjust to what the market wants," says Kuhns. "We need to develop a critical mass of consumers who are willing to pay for ethically sourced goods and unwilling to pay for questionably produced items."

Citing the Rana Plaza disaster of 2013, she calls the 1,129 workers killed in that Bangladeshi building collapse victims of "fast fashion." Yet the owner of the building, who forced the largely female workforce back into an obviously compromised structure, wasn't the only villain, she says; people in developed countries who drove up the desire for cheap and quick fashion are just as complicit.

"Companies that are transparent and tell the story about where their products are

coming from are really important to support," says Bill Johnston, Recover Brands' cofounder. Redress Raleigh cofounder and executive director Beth Stewart agrees—any company that's concerned about ethics or the environment is transparent about who makes its garments and what they're made of. Stewart mentions Patagonia as a company that excels in this regard.

Looking for the "Made in USA" tag, Kuhns says, is one way to buy ethically, because at least the U.S. has labor laws and a minimum wage. It can be exhausting, though, to hunt for American-made clothes in Southpoint Mall, and you have to wear something.

"Manufacturing is coming back to a certain extent," Stewart says. "We don't have gigantic companies over here for manufacturing that they have overseas, but the gigantic factories are generally not the best for everyone involved."

Johnston is one of the people working to make fair trade and eco-friendly fashion more accessible. He grew up in Statesville, in a textile family, a textile town, and a historically textile-oriented state, but he never thought he'd go into the industry, even after graduating from N.C. State's College of Tex-

tiles. He guided backpacking and mountaineering trips in his early twenties before realizing there was a junction between his environmentalism and his lifelong knowledge of clothing manufacture. He joined forces with textile industry veteran John Riddle, a family friend, to produce shirts made of factory scraps and recycled plastic bottles.

"People are amazed at the softness of the shirt," Johnston says. The problem with plastic, he notes, is that it lasts forever.

When it's repurposed into T-shirt form, that problem becomes a benefit, thanks to Riddle's manufacturing expertise, and it only gets softer with time.

Still, Johnston says he would be thrilled if single-use plastics were eliminated from the marketplace and Recover Brands had to find another material. The fashion industry is rife with unsustainable practices, and recycling is only the start. Shipping fabric from one factory to another, often internationally, increases the carbon footprint. And dyeing a single T-shirt, Johnston says, requires about seventy-five gallons of water. By making shirts out of other manufacturers' industrial waste—the precolored scraps and clips that would otherwise end up in landfills—Recover Brands avoids dyeing and uses closer to ten gallons of water per shirt.

"Over the last eight years in the Obama administration, we've made tremendous strides in regulating big business to meet a lot of environmental standards," Johnston says. Moving into a Trump administration that denies the reality of climate change concerns him. Kuhns agrees that the stakes are about to be higher in many ways. Everything from empathy and respect for diversity to environmental consciousness are actively under attack, she says, and when something of value is under attack, you need to fight to keep it. You also need to put your money where your ethics are.

"The American people have chosen materialism, ego, environmental destruction, and blatant self-interest to occupy the highest office in the land," she says. "In times like these, there is no pretending that our choices don’t matter."

The Fabric of Protest

NORTH CAROLINA HOMESPUN WAS POLITICAL LONG BEFORE “LOCAVORE” WAS A WORD

BY CRISTEL ORRAND In North Carolina today, many local clothing companies, from Nyla Elise to TS Designs, highlight the environmental, ethical, and cultural arguments for local materials, production, and distribution in their mission statements. While this locally sourced movement seems quite modern, it’s actually a continuation of a long tradition that goes back to the colonial era. Then as now, fashion reflected our values and shaped our political economy. Nowhere can this be seen more clearly than in the history of N.C. cotton.

In the 1760s, the British issued a series of tax acts. In addition to the tea stamps we all know about, a heavy tax was levied on bolts of fabric imported into the colony. Until the stamp acts, our Founding Fathers wore powdered wigs, silk, fine linens, velvets, brocades, and short breeches with hosiery, much like the nobility of France or England who exported them to the colonies. Independence, in a way, was born of a coarse, simple thing called homespun—a rough cotton thread spun at home.

This hit England in the purse strings and demonstrated a willingness to go it alone, even if it meant a less refined way of life.

Patriotism and dissent were evident in the clothing women chose to wear. The December 1769 Virginia Gazette noted a hundred women attending a ball in homespun dresses in support of the “true and essential interest of their country. It were to be [wished] that all assemblies of American Ladies would exhibit a like example of public virtue and private economy, so amiably united."

Prominent men such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin also took to homespun. Coattails and long, lacy shirt cuffs were simplified and shortened, and pants lengthened to allow for mobility during work.

This was a rebellion against the nobility and leisure classes of England. Colonial Americans went to work, and to war, against the British wearing homegrown homespun.

Until the early 1800s, the northern states produced most of the textiles in the colonies, while the southern states focused agricultural production, which was plentiful and profitable due to climate advantages and slave labor.

Initially, the southern growers were shipping cotton bales or spun thread north to be woven

Spinner at Vivian Cotton Mills, Cherryville, N.C., 1908 into fabrics. But by the 1830s, weaving and textile mills popped up all over North Carolina, including the places still known today for having been epicenters of the textile industry, like Alamance and Burlington. By the time of the Civil War, the South had surpassed the North in textile production.

After the Civil War, poor people—white and black alike—and their children worked in tenant cotton farming, spinning, and weaving. Denim emerged as the clothing of choice for working people. Though denim and dungarees had been around in Italy, France, and India for a long time, the ubiquitous symbol of Americana—the riveted Levi’s blue jean— was patented in 1873.

In the Depression era, sturdy cotton flour and feed sacks were repurposed into clothing. When the owners of companies like Sunbonnet Sue realized that people were using their sacks to fashion clothing, they began to design the bags with limited edition prints and the company’s logo in washable ink, and flour-sack clothing became more socially acceptable. But with cotton rationing during World War II, flour companies switched to the paper bags we see today.

In the 1950s, improvements in machinery made textile work scarcer, contributing to more migration out of and around the South. A 1959 survey of mill workers showed that more

PHOTO FROM THE U.S. DEPT. OF LABOR ARCHIVE

than half had moved three or more times in ten years. Jeans were also on the move, especially west, toward farmers, cowboys, and oil riggers. Mechanics and machinists inspired the “greasers” of the 1950s to protest convention by wearing blue jeans at a time when they were banned in many restaurants.

Today, U.S. cotton is a billion-dollar industry, with North Carolina in the top five producing states. Only a very small percentage of the cotton grown in North Carolina is grown organically (indeed, Monsanto’s pesticides feature heavily on the extension sites), but that number has the potential to increase as more local companies and consumers insist on locally sourced cotton. This is an opportunity, and we can grow it.

In a 1783 letter to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson remarked, “Agriculture is our wisest pursuit, because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good morals, and happiness.” So enduring was his comment that the N.C. Cotton Producers Association uses it on its website today. Agribusiness and fashion shape our politics and economies. We have the power to vote with our pocketbooks—buy local, support our own economies, protest injustice, demand protections for the environment—and we can do it all with something as simple as a T-shirt. backtalk@indyweek.com INDYweek.com | 11.30.16 | 31

LOCAL DESIGNERS WORE THEIR ACTIVISM LOUD AND PROUD IN 2016

BY VICTORIA BOULOUBASIS We’ve had a trying year in North Carolina politics and—let’s be honest—in American society in general. The embarrassment of HB 2 alone inspired boycotts from large corporations and celebrities who took a stand against bigotry. After a blowout performance at Carter Finley Stadium, Beyoncé posted an Instagram photo where she posed casually in her Raleigh hotel room wearing an Equality NC “Y’all Means All” T-shirt. The rest of us can take a fashionable activist stance, too, with local designers who are raising a stylish middle finger to the status quo.

Tyrone Demery/Lumina Clothing: “Black Lives (Black Flag)” Punk outfit Black Flag inspired a generation with defiance: “This fucking city/ is run by pigs!” Raleigh native Tyrone Demery riffed on the band’s renowned logo for a T-shirt design that leaves no question as to whether black lives matter. "I don't just see victims on the news," he says. "I see myself, my brother, my cousins, my friends." Raleigh’s Lumina Clothing sells the shirt in three colors, with proceeds benefitting families whose loved ones fell victim to police violence.

MAKE: McCrory is “Human Garbage” When the N.C. GOP rolled out HB 2, local metal monsters MAKE already had a song about Pat McCrory in the (trash) bag.

“Human Garbage” hurls furious insults at right-wing politicians in general, but the eponymous T-shirt explicitly puts the governor’s smug face front and center, framed by the song title with the MAKE logo scrawled over his forehead.

“We feel very strongly that if you have a platform, which is inherent if you're an artist with an audience, you have a rare ability to speak up and speak out,” says MAKE’s Scott Endres. “I personally think it's fucking heartbreaking that our governments paint targets on already-suffering minority groups, and as a white male I'm at essentially no risk in speaking out, so I feel a duty to use my privilege in ways that help those without it.”

“Our music has always grappled with issues of oppression on one level or another, and what good would that really do if we weren't willing to come out as people and put our money where our mouths are?” band member Spencer Lee adds.

The shirt sold out quickly, and after covering its production costs, the band gave about $2,100 in profits to Southerners on New Ground, a multiracial queer liberation organization in the South.

House of Swank: “Whichever” I’d argue that House of Swank’s tomato/vinegar barbecue shirt is as divisive as any, but GOP shenanigans inspired the store to really get political. John Pugh says his company does not support HB 2 and wanted to “put that out” into the world. “I don’t care where anybody pees,” he says. Using an internationally recognized symbol, Pugh and his crew screen-printed a round of T-shirts that he says were “super hot” when they came out.

Of the 150 designs House of Swank makes, the “Whichever” shirt ranks among the top fifteen sellers.

“We have folks all over the political spectrum buying that shirt,” he says, “just as a ‘this is ridiculous’ stand.” House of Swank donated a portion of its quarterly profits this year to the LGBT Center of Raleigh.

RUNAWAY Clothes: “Bulletproof” With an explicit image of a North Carolina-shaped gun, RUNAWAY’s “Bulletproof” collection is what founder Gabe Eng-Goetz calls “a commentary on how closely North Carolina is tied to our obsession with firearms.” The number 1,206 on the logo represents the number of North Carolinians who have died due to gun violence (from the most recent

available statistics in 2014).

After September’s fatal police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott in Charlotte, RUNAWAY officially stated its support for the Movement for Black Lives on social media.

From there, the team began researching gun violence to figure out ways to contribute.

Proceeds from the Bulletproof line, which includes T-shirts, hats, and a pin, benefit North Carolinians Against Gun Violence.

“Gun violence isn’t just homicide,” says Eng-Goetz. “It’s suicide, accidents, a lot of it’s linked to domestic abuse. It covers a wide range. NCGV promotes education, safe gun ownership, helps regulate the sale of guns, and empowerment with youth, like support groups for kids affected by gun violence.”

Eng-Goetz says the shocking image is supposed to be thought-provoking.

“I didn’t want to try and make it some uplifting, happy image,” he says. “The issue is serious and real. I didn’t want to sugarcoat that with some image that’s just not true to the issue. We owe it to the city to be outspoken about these sort of things.” vbouloubasis@indyweek.com

CAPP’S PIZZERIA

The Veranda at Briar Chapel 79 Falling Springs Drive, Chapel Hill www.cappspizzeria.com

The Triangle’s Best Pizza

WE KNOW, WE KNOW, WE’VE SAID IT BEFORE—BUT LOCAL PIZZERIAS KEEP GETTING BETTER

BY DAVID A. ROSS

Call me a Pizza Pollyanna or Candide of Crust. I have repeatedly announced a new “best” pizza in the Triangle. There was the now-defunct Bella Mia, then Pizzeria Toro, then Pompieri, then Treforni, then Napoli, the plucky Carrboro-based food truck. I stand by all of these assessments. Each marked the onward progress of the local pizza revolution.

I must now risk further damage to my credibility by shoehorning Capp’s Pizzeria—a Pittsboro pizza mobile gone Chapel Hill brick-and-mortar—into this crowded pantheon.

Napoli’s elegant minimalism and Neapolitan authenticity continue to set it apart, but the flame-scorched pies at Capp’s, which look as if they’ve been rescued by fire ladder, complicate the calculation. As I’ve said previously in these pages, Capp’s pies have no local rival for sheer gorgeousness. They belong on the cover of Saveur just as certain paintings belong on the cover of the Sotheby’s catalog.

If Napoli’s leopard-spotted, featherweight crust replicates what one might eat in Naples, Capp’s crust—all pock, char, and chew—nods equally to Naples, New York, and New Haven. Like a scene from Mean Streets, it strikes a perfect balance between tenderness and toughness.

Capp’s began as a masonry beehive mounted on a tomato-red two-wheeled trailer that was equal parts muscle car and Roman chariot. Nicknamed “Vesuvio,” the wood-burning oven was a volcano on wheels. At one thousand degrees, it cooked a pizza in sixty to ninety seconds. Capp’s gradually made its name at Chatham County locales like the Fearrington Farmers Market and the Woods Charter School winter fair.

At the farmers market, you ordered, swiped your credit card, and waited impatiently, craning to see your pie puff and bubble in the oven. It shimmered like a heat mirage, and you half-expected it to fade from sight with a taunt: “I belong to Naples…Rome…maybe New York if you’re not a complete dummy and know where to look….” But it did not fade!

In mid-October, Capp’s took its show off

The pie’s inside. PHOTO BY BEN MCKEOWN the road, opening a bistro in a new retail complex just north of the 15-501 entrance to the Briar Chapel development. The space is a homey little box warmed by the reincarnation of Vesuvio, there for all to see as the centerpiece of an open workstation.

Loyalists will notice little difference in the pies. If anything, the crust is slightly improved. There is a little more gluten development, a little more interplay of texture, somewhat more pronounced char.

Chef-owner John Cappelletti, a Connect-

icut native for whom Pepe’s and Modern Apizza in New Haven are eternal models, is plainly pleased with himself, and for good reason. His crust could fend for itself in New Haven’s Wooster Square. It begins with a sourdough starter that he’s fed daily for nine years. He refers to the twin twenty-twoquart vats of starter as “the girls.”

“They require some maintenance,” he says.

The dough combines Lindley Mills organic bread flour, Caputo-brand “00” flour, and a

flour that Cappelletti mills himself from red hard wheat. The final touch is the whiff of forest smoke generated by the hickory logs fed into the maw of Vesuvio II. The menu includes admirable versions of the classics (Margherita, white clam) and some outré experiments that have no right to succeed as utterly as they do. As a pizza puritan who considers “creativity” a synonym for tomfoolery, I must reassess all my thought.

The Bee Bomb—mozzarella, tomato, soppressata, and chili-infused honey—instantly became one of my canonical pies, the combination of spice and syrupy unguent at once weird and irresistible. Nor could I spurn the slew of other gene-spliced pies worthy of Dr. Moreau: mashed potato, bacon, and cheddar; coconut curry sauce, chicken, and serrano chili; BBQ sauce, chicken, and smoked Gouda.

The curry pizza—imagine the world’s best naan slathered with Penang curry—was an identity-changer. My purism lay in ruins.

Patrons should not overlook the grinders, which begin with fresh-baked pizza dough redeployed as sandwich bread. These and the similar “panouzzos” at Treforni in Durham may be the area’s best sandwiches. The Triangle has lately seen a rash of designer delis, but their artily inaccurate Reubens can’t compete with seconds-old bread. The house-made sausage, which doubles as pizza topping and sandwich filling, is worth a visit in its own right.

Even the menu peripheries command attention. Dessert includes an intricately layered honey torte prepared by the Czech day manager, Jitka Zavala. Capp’s, evidently, has talent to burn.

Like its rival Neapolitan pizzerias, Capp’s is not for the budget-conscious. Single-serving pies are $10–$16. A family of four could easily spend $80 or even $100.

But, having dropped untold sums on midweek pizzas whose only virtue is their delivery to your door, can you really quibble? food@indyweek.com INDYweek.com | 11.30.16 | 33

Rhapsody in Blues

AT DUKE, JAZZ PHENOM GERALD CLAYTON LEADS A CELEBRATION OF ONE OF DURHAM’S FINEST MUSICAL EXPORTS

BY ALLISON HUSSEY One of the United States’ most significant cultural exports is, without a doubt, the blues.

Born of the unique pain inflicted upon black Americans, the blues taps into deep wells of spiritual and personal sorrow, looking it in the eye as it lurks in every corner.

In Living With Music: Jazz Writings, Ralph Ellison wrote, “The blues is an impulse to keep the painful details and episodes of a brutal experience alive in one’s aching consciousness, to finger its jagged grain, and to transcend it … the blues is an autobiographical chronicle of personal catastrophe expressed lyrically.”

There are many shades and styles of blues that vary by region as you move across the South and up the Mississippi River: Chicago, Memphis, Kansas City, Piedmont. North Carolina is home to the latter, which describes the acoustic, ragtime-inspired fingerpicked blues music found between Richmond and Atlanta.

Durham had an especially important place in Piedmont blues in the twenties and thirties. As one of the country’s biggest hubs for the tobacco industry, the city attracted scores of players who may not have sold a million records, but whose unique craft made them an important part of Southern history. Some of the form’s earliest progenitors, like Elizabeth Cotten, Blind Boy Fuller, and Reverend Gary Davis, made their homes in or around Durham at various points; others, including John Dee Holeman and Algia Mae Hinton, still live nearby.

The city’s role in the movement is the inspiration of Piedmont Blues, a massive multimedia undertaking that combines tap dance, photos, and video with music led by renowned jazz pianist Gerald Clayton. Though he’s not a blues musician per se, he says the blues have still made an indelible imprint on his art.

“Jazz musicians have been using the blues as a platform for their expression for years and years, so it is all related,” he says, noting that Oscar Peterson’s version of Duke Ellington's “C-Jam Blues,” from Peterson's 1963 LP

Gerald Clayton PHOTO BY TIM DUFFY Night Train, was the first track on the first jazz record he fell in love with.

“I don’t think there’s really a difference between Algia Mae [Hinton] and John Dee Holeman and Duke Ellington or Miles Davis,” he says.

Clayton’s relationship with Duke Performances began about four years ago, he esti-

mates, when the institution invited him to lead a master class. About two years ago, Duke Performances tapped him again for Piedmont Blues, which it co-commissioned with the Modlin Center for the Arts at the University of Richmond, the Savannah Music Festival, and Strathmore. During several visits to Durham, Clayton connected with the

Music Maker Relief Foundation, a Hillsborough nonprofit that assists aging blues and roots musicians with living expenses, career management, and more.

“Through them, I was able to actually meet some of these elders who are left from this tradition, people like John Dee and Algia Mae Hinton, and Boo Hanks, who passed away in the past year,” Clayton says, adding that, in meeting with and spending time with the “elders,” as he calls them, he learned how the blues came from all aspects of life: work, the way people walk and talk, even food.

“After meeting them, I realized it wouldn’t feel right to pay tribute to this tradition without including them in some way or another.

It’s really their art form; it’s their language.

These are the personalities behind the art form and behind the music,” Clayton says.

Hinton and Holeman won’t be onstage with Clayton and the rest of his band, The Assembly, but they’ll appear in the visual elements that fill out the performance.

The three-part journey of Piedmont Blues covers the struggles that yielded the specific style, the music itself, and what Clayton calls the “flight of the blues.” Clayton surrounds himself with an eight-piece backing band that includes guitar, bass, and drums, plus three sax players, vocalist René Marie, and tap dancer Maurice Chestnut. It’s a living, breathing circumnavigation of the genre as well as an homage to artistic ancestors. Clayton gets even more philosophical discussing the project's wider implications.

“One of the big theses is God is the music in our blood and our veins. Blues offers us a taste of salvation, so that in the act of actually releasing that pain, we get a taste of that transcendent other side,” Clayton says.

The specific details of the pains of everyday life in Durham have shifted a bit over the past century, but Piedmont Blues bridges the gaps between the years. We’ll always have pain to reckon with, but, on the upside, we’ll always have the blues, too. ahussey@indyweek.com INDYweek.com | 11.30.16 | 35

The New Normal

DETOXING WITH WARREN ELLIS, WHOSE INFORMATION-OVERLOADED FUTURE IS HERE

BY ZACK SMITH

Despairing of the future since the election?

You’ll find little comfort in Warren Ellis’s new prose novella, Normal (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), which he’ll read from and sign at Flyleaf Books on Dec. 2.

Inspired by Ellis’s experiences at futurist festivals, the near-future tale is set at Normal Head, a sort of rehab center for futurists whose constant speculation has led to a condition called “Abyss Gaze,” marked by overwhelming degrees of depression and other mental illnesses. They are supposed to unplug from the world in isolation, but complications develop when a patient’s disappearance sparks an investigation.

It’s the latest in a long series of dark futures from the British author, who’s earned a massive cult following for more than two decades of alternately acerbic, horrifying, and hilarious writing across comics, books, and other media.

Ellis cowrote the 2008 video game Dead Space. The Bruce Willis Red films were based on his graphic novel with artist Cully Hamner, and he is widely known for many comic series starring famous Marvel and DC characters or his own. His Iron Man story for Marvel, “Extremis,” established multiple elements of character mythology that carried over into the Robert Downey Jr. films.

Ellis’s own series include Transmetropolitan, a Hunter S. Thompson-inspired tale of journalism in the future; Planetary, an eerie exploration of twentieth-century pop culture; and, more recently, Trees, in which humanity deals with massive, unknowable alien structures that have appeared on Earth (it started coming out well before Arrival hit theaters).

But despite his prolific comics output, Ellis, who also used to run multiple columns, websites, and online forms about the creative direction of the comics industry, is currently more interested in other ways of experimenting with storytelling.

While it receives its first physical release, in paperback, this week, Normal was first serialized in digital form over the summer.

Its multimedia bonus features were designed to put readers in the mind-set of its digital36 | 11.30.16 | INDYweek.com

Warren Ellis PHOTO BY ELLEN J ROGERS detoxing protagonists, a funny thing to do on a computer. Ellis, long an innovative storyteller, appreciates the relatively free and uncharted terrain of the digital realm, even though its audience is still limited.

“If you tell a comics publisher in the U.S. that you want to do a weekly serial, they pretend to have a heart attack until you shut up and go away,” Ellis says. “But everything gets a lot easier when you’re just moving words around. … There’s a ceiling to the digital audience, it seems, and a lot of people will wait to

pay for print. That’s fine. But it’s been good to be able to try this experiment.”

Ellis’s work frequently incorporates realworld advancements in technology and other trends. So how does he keep from succumbing to Abyss Gaze himself? He’s surprisingly sanguine for someone whose vision of nearfuture digital exhaustion seems much nearer than many would like to admit.

“I’m not one of those people … who can just disappear off to a cabin in the middle of nowhere, and the locals communicate by

tying messages to badgers or whatever,” Ellis says. “The longest I’m offline is when I’m on a plane. I have a family, and communications technologies are how we stay closely in touch. All these things come with volume controls and off-switches, and I can use them to reduce my inbound to essential communications. And I don’t have to shit in a bucket in the forest to do it."

ETHELRED THE UNREADY

It’s not a good thing when a monarch’s name contains its own punch line. In Old English, Æthelred means “nobly counseled.” Unfortunately for his subjects at the end of the tenth century, Unready meant “poorly counseled,” not unprepared. Like Henry VI, the other hapless British king we’ve encountered on the local stage this year, Ethelred was also thrust onto the throne as a child. Ultimately, both proved easy marks for advisors more interested in their own agendas than the good of their country.

PEARL HARBOR DAY EXPERIMENTAL SHOWCASE

A great deal of contemporary music alludes to 9/11, much of it seemingly intended to either cash in or examine our emotions about that day. On the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, one way to parse our current thoughts about it might be through oblique music. Tear-jerking post-rock and ballads are standard outlets for addressing tragedy, but what about more ambiguous forms—music capable of existing in multiple moods? Such are the acts featured in this weighty Wednesday-night lineup.

Patrick Gallagher’s mix of modular synths and prepared guitar is complex and fascinating, never explaining or revealing itself too easily. He shares the stage with Reflex Arc, plus Edy Bower and Joel Steephenson. There’s also Midcentury Modular, the electronic side project of members of Raleigh’s Less Western. —David Ford Smith NEPTUNES PARLOUR, RALEIGH | 9:30 p.m., $5–$10, www.kingsraleigh.com

LOCALLY Temper your DEVOTED numerous sins at The Pinhook, where Raleigh Christian rapper Flauce headlines the Underground Collective’s local hip-hop showcase. Even if you don’t fly the Ned Flanders flag, local notables King Draft and The Deeep End will be on hand, as well as a beat battle for those who believe the DJ deck is mightier than the sword. —DM [THE PINHOOK, FREE/8 P.M.]

Gobby BEAT The UNO NYC label FREAK has incubated several of experimental music’s brightest recent talents, most

notably the sputtering, truly singular work of Arca. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say Gobby, who hails from New York and has released under the label, exists in some universe tangential to Arca’s, one that’s equally strange and beholden to its own alien laws. He’s knocked out production for UNO affiliates Mykki Blanco and Le1f, so fans of these acts may find something to like here. With Hanz, Earthly, and Benny. —DS

[NIGHTLIGHT, $7/10 P.M.]

Charles Lloyd & the Marvels JAZZ Tenor saxophonist MASTER Charles Lloyd has a rich, piercing tone and a rare melodic sensibility, spinning seemingly endless lines that plumb the latent emotional depths of any idea. He brings his trademark urgency to everything from traditional Greek tunes to more abstract jazz compositions or standards. His new group The Marvels includes the intriguing combination of guitar and pedal steel (played by Bill Frisell and Greg Leisz, respectively) alongside his regular working rhythm section. —DR [DUKE’S PAGE AUDITORIUM, $10–$45/8 P.M.]

Local Band Local Beer: Weird Pennies (of Raleigh) LOVABLE If the name didn’t WEIRDOS give it away, Weird Pennies (of Raleigh) are, well, idiosyncratic. The “Popular Wisdom” triple single doubles down on the quartet’s knack for oddball melody and offbeat atmosphere. Strange juxtapositions mark the single’s songs and lend Weird Pennies alluring mystery: “You Don’t Have to Freak Out” is oddly claustrophobic, while “Jeffries Ridge” antithetically balances cheery melodies and misanthropic lyrics.

With Seabreeze Diner and Fashion Bath. —PW [POUR HOUSE, FREE/8:30 P.M.]

Primal Static ECLECTIC Panstylistic serves as OUTING both title and description for the debut of Austin duo Primal Static. The four-track EP fuses gritty blues-rock, classical ambition, and dynamic texturing to conjure a sound that feels indebted to rock fundamentals as much as it gives in to experimental whims. “Fall Before Your Pride” counters bluesy guitar with thudding electronic drums and enthusiastic keyboard accents. It gives equal attention to each member’s background: guitarist G.T. was raised on rock ‘n’ roll, while keyboardist HouFei is a conservatory-trained pianist. Dr. Copter and Paper Dolls open.

—BCR [SLIM’S, $5/9 P.M.]

Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder THUNDER Ricky Skaggs has ROLLS been making records for some four decades now, and he’s long ago established himself as a bona fide bluegrass legend, capable of letting fly with some fiery, fleet-fingered mandolin licks or singing out in high lonesome tones that will break your heart in two. His crack band, Kentucky Thunder, adds even more pickin’ power to the equation. It’s almost impossible to have yourself a bad time at a Skaggs show. —JA [HAW RIVER BALLROOM, $28–$30/8 P.M.] ALSO ON THURSDAY THE CAVE: Cordovas, Don Gallardo; 9 p.m., $5. • LINCOLN THEATRE: Jerry Garcia Band Cover Band; 9 p.m., $10. • LOCAL 506: The Soil & The Sun Owel, The Affectionates; 7 p.m., $10–$12. • UNC’S KENAN REHEARSAL HALL: Carolina Bluegrass Band; 7:30 p.m.

FRI, DEC 2 The Black Lillies LILY The Knoxville sextet BLACK has delivered its own fusion of country, roots, rock,

and blues since 2009. Frontman Cruz Contreras anchors the band as its primary songwriter, creating a repertoire that’s just as likely to be fueled by Appalachian murder ballads as raucous foot-stompers.

Garnering top slots on Billboard’s Americana and roots charts, the group has hit its stride, releasing its fourth studio album, Hard to Please, last year. Elise Davis opens.

The duo creates plenty of quasi-psychy surf stuff, but its riffs are sadly second-rate. Monotremes open.

Fruit Bats

ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO Even before embarking on the singersongwriter path that he’s been on for the last quarter-century or so, Alejandro Escovedo had already earned his cool cred several times over. For starters, he hails from an impressive musical family that includes niece Sheila E and brother Coke Escovedo, percussionist with Santana. But Alejandro never needed any musical pedigree to start making his own mark.

In the seventies, when American punk rock bands were thin on the ground (especially in Northern California), Escovedo played in the pioneering Bay Area punk band The Nuns. In the early eighties, when combining country and rock was still considered to be strictly the province of bands like The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers, he was a member of the great proto alt-country band Rank & File. After that, Escovedo should have made a little rock ‘n’ roll history by virtue of starting the near-mythical alt-rock act True Believers, but fate wasn’t

on his side. He at last settled into Americana troubadour mode, becoming a bit of an Austin legend in the process.

The ultimate man about town, Escovedo has worked with everybody from Ryan Adams to Tony Visconti, David Bowie’s longtime producer.

Over the course of his long solo career, the sixty-five-year-old Escovedo has touched on the tender and the tough, the arty and the folky, and even cheated death along the way when he was diagnosed with hepatitis C back in 2003. He’s a guy who’s got a lot of stories in him. His latest album, October’s Burn Something Beautiful, is a collection of heartland rockers that contains snatches of most of the styles Escovedo has played over the past four decades—if you see him onstage right now, you’re probably catching him at a pretty good entry point.. —Jim Allen THE ARTSCENTER, CARRBORO 8 p.m., $36, www.artscenterlive.org

SUB POP May’s Absolute Loser FOLK finds Eric D. Johnson—a former sideman in the Shins and Vetiver—restoring the Fruit Bats name and approach. It’s another example of the post-millennial, quasi-inspirational stuff Johnson’s been exporting for more than fifteen years, a graspable if faceless and staid blend of folk and indie rock. Opener Skylar Gudasz is far more interesting. —PW [CAT’S CRADLE BACK ROOM, $16–$18/9 P.M.]

Grubby Little Hands PSYCH All plinking guitars POP and reverb-addled vocals, this Philadelphia based psych-pop outfit renders its pretty, glacially paced melodies with such offhand formlessness that it can

occasionally appear that they’ve forgotten to write any actual songs. Still, certain pleasures may be had in its druggy, weightless meanderings. Estrangers and Al Riggs open. —EB

[KINGS, $8–$10/9 P.M.]

John Howie Jr. and the Rosewood Bluff ALT John Howie Jr. and COUNTRY his limber backing band, the Rosewood Bluff, make bracing honky-tonk anchored by Howie’s gritty, sure vocals and gleaming with peals of pedal steel.

Jphono 1’s Time in the Chevron, sort of a countrified Zeppelin III, is one of 2016’s best records, and veteran singer-songwriter Melissa Swingle melds blues and country with indie crunch in a duo set. —DK [LOCAL 506, $6/9 P.M.]

Will McFarlane, Janet McFarlane, Joel Sugarman & Clark Stern SPIRITED Will McFarlane BLUES honed his blues licks with a stint with Bonnie Raitt from 1974 to 1989. Relocating to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, McFarlane continued his musical education with the Swampers, legendary musicians who backed a who’s who of soul artists. With his wife, Janet, the singer and guitarist presents soulful blues-rock with the help of Clark Stern’s rollicking piano accompaniment, covering everything from Delta blues to the style and spirit of Jerry Lee Lewis.

—GB [BLUE NOTE GRILL, $12/9 P.M.]

The Molly Ringwalds EIGHTIES A supremely odd TRIBUTE hybrid of comedy act and eighties tribute band, these Sheffield, England, natives pursue their peculiar brief with laudable commitment and a seemingly unending supply of period-appropriate costumes. Expect note-perfect renditions of everything from Whitesnake to Michael Jackson, alongside plenty of antic, nostalgia-driven spectacle. —TB [THE RITZ, $15/8 P.M.]

The Mountain Goats GET YR John Darnielle packs GOAT big clubs across the country with the intricate, expressive songs he’s released

under the Mountain Goats moniker, but those of us who share Darnielle’s home turf sometimes get the rare treat of one-off shows in smaller rooms. This weekend, the Triangle gets not one but four small concerts, with Darnielle presiding over two sold-out performances each at Durham’s Pinhook and the Cat’s Cradle Back Room in Carrboro. These intimate affairs are always fun outings that leave you full of warm fuzzies—get a jump-start on your good cheer for December. Greensboro’s Jenny Besetzt opens night one. —AH [THE PINHOOK, $25/8 P.M.]

NCCU Jazz Faculty Christmas Concert X-MAS Players have SWING probably been jazzifying Christmas songs from the moment jazz was created.

And anyway, aren’t Christmas tunes just another set of standards to play around with and solo on top of? Because this presentation features the mighty faculty of NCCU’s jazz program, it should be a particularly fine, jazzed-up Christmas. —DR [BEYÙ CAFFÈ, $15/7 & 9 P.M.] ALSO ON FRIDAY THE ARTSCENTER: Alejandro Escovedo; 8 p.m., $36.

SAT, DEC 3 Antiseen PUNK Charlotte’s Antiseen LIFERS has done plenty over the past three decades to cement its legacy in the cult underground.

The band has collaborated with GG Allin, left a trail of wreckage behind its chaotic, often bloody gigs, and fused punk’s rudimentary roar with earnest, if confrontational, tributes to low-brow thrills, from B-movies to pro wrestling. With Sibannac and Snake & the Plisskens. —BCR [LOCAL 506, $10/9 P.M.]

Dopapod JAMMIN, If you feel like DAWG smoking pot and going to a concert, you should go see Dopapod and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, each of which perform the type of post-Phish phunk-rock that no one has ever listened to unstoned. —DM [LINCOLN THEATRE, $17/9 P.M.]

Dreaded BLACK & Greensboro’s black THRASH metal battalion Dreaded takes the headlining slot with chilly gusts of shrill guitar and guttural screams. The band’s August album, Nexus Animus, hits all the hallmarks of the genre, summoning sweeping melodies from dynamic surges of tremolo-picking and roiling blastbeats. Columbia, South Carolina’s Axattack celebrates the release of a new album of its own. The thrash revivalists favor a frenzied pace and sharp riffing that fuses crust punk and classic thrash à la fellow mosh-starters Municipal Waste and Toxic Holocaust. Gorbash, Nemesis, and Mo’ynoq complete the bill. —BCR [THE MAYWOOD, $8/8:30 P.M.]

Steve Hartsoe GRITTY As his latest release, ROOTS The Big Fix, demonstrates, Steve Hartsoe’s Americana is more of the Tom Petty persuasion than the high and lonesome variety. The Raleighbased singer-songwriter’s roots rock is shot through with blues and soulful meanderings, fueled by hard-driving guitar and gritty vocals in the style of Bryan Adams.

—GB [SCHOOLKIDS RECORDS (RALEIGH), FREE/7 P.M.]

N.C. Symphony: Messiah Choruses and More GRACE Christmas music is NOTES pretty all-inclusive these days—mambo versions of “Frosty the Snowman” share space on store play lists with over-serious versions of “Little Drummer Boy” and kitschy Louis Armstrong baubles. If all this has you itching for the real Christmas classics, try this evening culminating in select choruses from Handel’s Messiah.

The program begins with parts of Bach’s majestic Mass in B minor, before moving toward the modern era with Vaughan Williams and contemporary composers Eric Whitacre and Michael Torke.

—DK [MEYMANDI CONCERT HALL, $15–$80/8 P.M.]

John McCutcheon FOLK John McCutcheon is TALENT a master of just about anything with strings on it, from the acoustic guitar to the hammered dulcimer, and he’s been making that fact unmistakably clear since the seventies. In an era when artists are anxious to hyphenate their folk flavor with some other element, McCutcheon is unafraid to play honest, unadorned folk music, pure and simple. —JA [MOTORCO, $20–$25/7:30 P.M.]

Old Habits EARTHY Raleigh’s Old Habits LEANING first got together in 2013, and the band has been busy refining its rootsy sound ever since. Mixing electric and acoustic, folk and country, bluegrass and roots rock, Old Habits stirs up an organic sound that’s just as likely to include some back-porch banjo licks as it is to feature terse, twangy guitar lines. Tonk opens.

—JA [KINGS, $10–$12/8:30 P.M.]

St. Lawrence String Quartet BIG For its latest Duke QUARTET Performances concert, the St. Lawrence Quartet brings together three big personalities. Haydn’s early Opus 20 Number 2 sees the composer exploring different kinds of dialog among the instruments with his usual stately charm. Saint-Saëns’s first string quartet was written on the doorstep of the twentieth century, though you’d never know

it based on its florid, intense romanticism. And Beethoven’s Opus 132 celebrates his surviving a severe illness in a beautifully peculiar way.—DR

MON, DEC 5 Atomic Buzz POST HXC Former members of the Manimals came together to form Atomic Buzz, a vocals-to-the-front stoner punk outfit that takes cues from the snotty pop sensibilities of Wavves and intelligent distortion crunch of nineties post-hardcore. The results are strong. Prog undertones faintly outline everything, like if frontman Nathan Williams’s dealer got him really into the Omar RodriguezLopez discography. With Austero and Dim Delights. —DS [NEPTUNES PARLOUR, $5/9 P.M.]

Dream Theater OLD GEEK Bond with your nerdy HEAVEN dad by taking him to see Dream Theater, where the two of you can take in the intricate fretwork and Casio freakouts of a band so proggy that its keyboardist is nicknamed “The Wizard.”

The Boston outfit will be performing The Astonishing, its recent dystopian concept album, in full. —DM [DURHAM PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, $37–$75/7:30 P.M.]

Etana SOUL Just when you WAILING thought reggae music has become a caricature of itself, a noble soul reggae artist like Etana appears, providing balance.

Though she espouses some of the

same values as roots reggae, her R&B influence—as heard on songs such as “Love Me For Real” and “Happy Heart”—gives the genre a fun boost. Iba Mahr, Fyakin, and Cayenne the Lion King open. —ET

[POUR HOUSE, $15–$20/8 P.M.]

Flosstradamus ***AIR The EDM-trap HORN*** pioneers Flosstradamus are just as home collaborating with Caroline Polachek of the svelte indie darlings Chairlift as they are performing at the gutter-rap promised land that is Gathering of the Juggalos. Their raucous live shows function as a launchpad for a sound so in-your-face that you’ll feel your cheek flesh disintegrating. Bring a change of clothes with you because there’s no way you’ll be leaving their gigs not soaked in sweat. Twokio and Gent and Jawns open. —DM [THE RITZ, $30/8:30 P.M.]

Bill Staines FOLKY Aside from the fact FELLA that he plays upside down and backward and yodels like a champ, Bill Staines is a traditional kind of guy. His twenty-two-album back catalog has been picked over and covered sporadically by Peter, Paul, and Mary and Grandpa Jones, as well as Nanci Griffith and Jerry Jeff Walker. —GB [THE STATION, $16–$18/6 P.M] ALSO ON MONDAY CAT’S CRADLE (BACK ROOM): The Mountain Goats, Jenny Besetzt; 8 p.m., $25. • SLIM’S: David Dondero, Brice Randall Bickford; 9 p.m., $5. • UNC’S MEMORIAL HALL: UNC Wind Ensemble and Symphony Band; 7:30 p.m., $5–$10.

TUE, DEC 6 The Piano Guys GONE The Piano Guys VIRAL came together in chance fashion when the owner of a piano store in southern Utah was looking to stir up some promotional muscle via viral videos. In superhero fashion, each Piano Guy has a special power—one’s a cellist, one’s a pianist, one’s a marketer, etc. They are playing one of the biggest rooms in the Triangle, so it must have worked.

—DK [DURHAM PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, $50–$85/7:30 P.M.]

Third Eye Blind STILL AT Semi-charmed IT alt-rock songwriter turned super-woke semi-charmed alt-rock songwriter Stephan Jenkins still leads Third Eye Blind.

Though not as much a nostalgic curiosity as the band’s Alternative Nation peers, the Bay Area group still isn’t more than a buzz-bin relic.

Also, you’ll now have “SemiCharmed Life” stuck in your head the rest of the day. Sorry. —PW [THE RITZ, $30/8 P.M.] ALSO ON TUESDAY BEYÙ CAFFÈ: Be Connected: Durham Tech Sings!; 6 p.m., $9–$13.

Earlier this year, he released his second EP, Unarmored, which boasts an impressive amalgamation of folk, R&B, and funk. This tour leg features a duo setup with fellow Athens pop singer Wrenn. The duo’s gorgeous harmonies and stripped-down arrangements allow Unarmored’s batch of songs to shine. Raleigh-based Sugar Dirt and Sand open. —DEM [LOCAL 506, $8–$10/8 P.M.] ALSO ON WEDNESDAY THE CAVE: Lacy Jags, Flash Car, Bad Balloon; 9 p.m., $5. • MOTORCO: Look Homeward, Reality Band; 8 p.m., $10–$12. • NEPTUNES PARLOUR: Reflex Arc, Patrick Gallagher, Edy Bower, Joel Steephenson, Midcentury Modular; 9:30 p.m., $5–$10.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3

LAURA REED WINTER SOULSTICE DANCE PARTY Durham’s big-voiced, small-framed soul Laura Reed is treating her ninth annual music, art, and dance bonanza much like she does her own music, stuffing a variety of spectacles into one place, all mixed and matched to examine identity, love, and creativity. Those were also some of the salient features of her 2014 debut LP, The Awakening, which featured cuts that she loaned to recent television shows and movies and got Sheryl Crow’s stamp of approval. But oh, what is a musician ever to do in that torturous, anxiety-ridden time gap between the first and second albums? Reed’s interim, it seems, has consisted of a steady diet of brilliant company and collaborators, some of whom have committed to adding an extra surge to this party’s entertainment.

On double duty, South Carolina spitter Preach Jacobs will bring both his hip-hop ambassador raps and his turntables as the night’s host deejay. An outstanding hodgepodge of members from area bands including The Foreign Exchange, Zoocrü, and Carolina String Society will back Reed for the night, hopefully leaving enough jam space for R&B cover band N’kogniito to turn the Pour House into an impromptu karaoke night. And if you’re interested in a workout session, a few of North Carolina’s finest dance performers and instructors are hitting the stage to help you bust a few moves. Did someone say b-boy ballet? Try at your own risk.

Lately, Reed has taken a few risks of her own. In August, she released a video directed by André Leon Gray for her anti-gun-violence single, “Don’t Shoot,” aligning herself—a white soul singer from Johannesburg, South Africa—with the anti-police-brutality activism of the Black Lives Matter movement. For some, the gesture may have called into question issues of cultural appropriation and white entitlement, but the song and its accompanying video are a sincere call for peace and community healing. To give the matter even more chatter, select pieces from the recent Black on Black art exhibit at Raleigh’s Visual Art Exchange will also be on display.

On a less polarizing note, Reed’s adventures will pick back up in 2017, when she plans on releasing two vastly different projects: an “urban Americana” EP with Grammy Award-winning producer Shannon Sanders, who worked with Reed on The Awakening, and an “urban pop” album fashioned by Atlanta-based producer WLPWR. For a sneak peek into the former, Reed will debut its lead single, “Lately,” Saturday evening. Sure, it’s a lot to digest for just a fun night out, but somebody has to be the provocateur, right? Let Laura Reed wake y’all up. —Eric Tullis THE POUR HOUSE, RALEIGH 9 p.m., $12–$15, www.thepourhousemusichall.com

WE STAND. WE MATTER. Elin o’Hara slavick often brings humanitarian activism into her practice, and her art students at UNC-Chapel do likewise. Slavick’s students will next merge art and action in a public installation and performance outside of Wilson Library. We Stand. We Matter draws on the sociopolitical currents running from the Standing Rock pipeline protests to the Black Lives Matter movement, showing solidarity with the strength and unity of these movements in the face of oppression and police brutality. Inspired by student Octavis Green’s “Victims of America,” which shows a hoodie-clad skeleton with its hands up, the multidisciplinary work will include painted banners, skeleton figures, and more, styled after Trayvon Martin and Standing Rock protesters.

After the performance, from six to nine p.m. in Wilson Library, the public is invited to a discussion with the student artists and student speakers representing Black Lives Matter and Carolina Indian Circle, with a performance by UNC’s spoken-word group, EROT. —Jamie Stuart UNC’S POLK PLACE (LOWER QUAD), CHAPEL HILL 11 a.m.–2 p.m., free, www.art.unc.edu

Southern Accent: Seeking the American South in Contemporary Art: This is less a simple exhibition than a speculative and critical archive of Southern identity. Slavery, the Civil War, racism, and their complex inheritances?

Much of the work explores and interrogates that.

Connections to place so deep that land and body become the same thing? Many artists unravel the warp and weft of that. The dissonance of the past’s intrusion into the present? The exhibit shimmers with that temporal disorientation. It’s powerful work by supremely capable artists, and the intensity of their proximity is lifechanging. Thru Jan 8, 2017.

WRITTEN ON THE HEART

What a difference seventy-five years can make. In playwright David Edgar’s Written on the Heart, William Tyndale faces burning at the stake in 1536, while Lancelot Andrewes may be named archbishop in 1611, for the same task: translating the Bible into English. Burning Coal Theatre Company has produced a number of Edgar’s brainy, politically incisive works over the years; in the American premiere of this 2011 opus, he probes the facts and factions behind the creation of one of the landmarks in Western literature: the King James Bible.

Burning Coal artistic director Jerome Davis directs a cast headed by John Allore as Tyndale and George Jack as Andrewes.. —Byron Woods MURPHEY SCHOOL AUDITORIUM, RALEIGH 7:30 p.m. Thurs.–Sat./2 p.m. Sun., $5–$25, www.burningcoal.org

A L S O P L AY I N G The INDY uses a five-star rating scale. Read our reviews of these films at www.indyweek.com.  The Accountant—Matt Damon—er, Ben Affleck’s autistic assassin character doesn’t quite add up. Rated R.  ½ Allied—Sexual tension, spousal spying, and glossy WWII nostalgia from director Robert Zemeckis. Rated R.  Arrival—Denis Villeneuve’s thoughtful aliens-to-Earth film is less about first contact than first communication. Rated PG-13.  ½ The Birth of a Nation—This Nat Turner biopic overturns the conventions of white Hollywood. Rated R.  ½ Bridget Jones’s Baby— Renée Zellweger’s loveable comic character deserved a better comeback. Rated R.  Deepwater Horizon— This account of the oil spill thrills but skimps on context.

Rated PG-13.

 Doctor Strange— Marvel’s magic master’s feisty cape almost steals his movie.

Rated PG-13.

page SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3

SAFIYA SINCLAIR & LAUREN HUNTER

 ½ Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them—A promising start to a new Harry Potter franchise. Rated PG-13.

Safiya Sinclair’s elaborate lyrics are densely striated with histories, whether personal, political, geographical, or poetic. Born and raised in Montego Bay, Jamaica, Sinclair earned an MFA in poetry at the University of Virginia and is now a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Southern California. Her debut collection from this year, Cannibal, earned more than one major prize. “Good Hair” weighs the anxieties of black hair against the white homogeneity embodied in an epigraph from Yeats: “Only God, my dear/ Could love you for yourself alone/ And not your yellow hair.” In similar fashion, “One Hundred Amazing Facts About the Negro, with Complete Proof, II,” uses a James Baldwin quote—“They could deal with the Negro as a symbol or a victim but had no sense of him as a man”—as a diving bell to plumb the depths of damaging stereotypes.

In Duke’s Little Corner Reading Series at The Shed, Sinclair is joined by Durham’s Lauren Hunter, whose funny, personal, poignant poems will soon appear in Human Achievements, her debut book, from Birds, LLC. —Brian Howe

 ½ The Girl on the Train— Emily Blunt’s vulnerable performance almost redeems a trashy, lurid film. Rated R.  ½ Hacksaw Ridge—Mel Gibson clearly identifies with the religious persecution of conscientious objector Desmond Doss. Rated R.  ½ The Magnificent Seven—Despite an able cast, this remake adds little to the “band of disreputables” trope.

Rated PG-13.  Moonlight—Barry Jenkins’s must-see drama deals with a gay black man’s coming of age. Rated R.

“Blue Frame” (detail) PHOTO COURTESY OF TOM WHITESIDE TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6– SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17

TOM WHITESIDE: WHATWASFILM Tom Whiteside, a filmmaker and historian of film culture and technology, has always treaded a thin strip of celluloid between screenings and art installations with his Durham Cinematheque series. He fully embraces the latter format in W H A T W A S F I L M, a new exhibit at the Carrack.

The exhibit features forty-eight “narrative objects,” or strips of 16mm film pressed between glass, some more than a hundred years old—a reel-to-reel history, fortyfour frames (or less than two seconds) at a time. Other analog motion picture ephemera, whether archival or from Whiteside’s own filmmaking flotsam, will play on windows and lightboxes. The best time to visit is during one of the many events associated with the exhibit, such as a threescreen romp through film’s past (Thursday, Dec. 8, 8 p.m.) and a reception and artist talk focusing on Whiteside’s experimental films and sundry vintage TV commercials (Friday, Dec. 9, 8 p.m.). Visit the Carrack’s website for a full list of screenings and events. —Brian Howe THE CARRACK MODERN ART, DURHAM Various times, free, www.thecarrack.org
