I have a feeling that many readers of this week’s buzz are new, both to our publication and town. To those readers: welcome! Thanks for picking up a copy of our magazine. C-U is a vibrant community, filled with art, music and activism, and the few pieces of paper in your hands provide a fantastic way to begin learning about it. Hopefully you all become regular readers but I’m not going to fool myself – some of you are probably grasping for a way to occupy the awkward nine minutes before class starts and that’s okay, too. If this is the last piece of my writing that you ever read, I’d like to at least make it a useful one, so here are a few pieces of advice that I wish more freshmen were given. Don’t get too comfortable in your campus-town niche. Within the first few months of college, you will probably start to favor one side of town. It happens naturally; dorms and friends are often clustered within a few blocks, and your identity as a Champaign or an Urbana dweller will inevitably follow. However, don’t let this limit you. There are fun attractions and hidden gems on both sides of campus - it would be a shame to let them go unseen. Similarly: C-U doesn’t end when campus does. If you make a real effort to get to know this town beyond Neil Street and Lincoln Avenue, you won’t regret it. Yes, the Arboretum is beautiful - but so is Meadowbrook. Campus favorites Maize and Pandamonium Donuts live up to the hype, but have you checked out Huaraches Moroleon or Carmella’s Crème? You should. Take a gender or ethnic studies course. In fact, take as many of these courses (from departments such as African-American Studies, Gender and Women’s Studies, Latino/a Studies and Asian-American Studies) as you can squeeze into your schedule. If you read this and did any of the following: sneer, snicker, think and/or mutter “no,â€? then this applies even more directly to you. Take care of yourself. Above all else, prioritize your mental health and wellbeing. If you need some time to relax, take a night off. Stay in. Read a book, listen to your favorite band, sleep. Surround yourself with supportive people and don’t ever hesitate to reach out.

CHAMPAIGN
-Urbana Comedy is starting an exclusive student branch at Venue 51 on Green Street, in partnership with improv teams at the University of Illinois. Jesse Tuttle, head of CU Comedy, is thrilled to kick off this project, which includes monthly shows on the second Saturday of each month at 8 p.m., starting September 12 with the Student Stand Up Competition. With a number of ambitious projects in the works, it looks like CU Comedy is going to have a busy, and thoroughly entertaining, fall semester. »buzz: How long has CU Comedy worked with students and/or campus improv groups, and how has your experience been so far? »Jesse Tuttle: We have a lot of students who do stand up with us, quite often. We’ve worked quite a bit with Spicy Clamato, done a few shows here and there. Those shows would happen every once in a while, but we’re hoping to establish something a little more consistent. For the upcoming Venue 51 shows, we’re going to have at least one group from campus improv join us on stage. They all have really great attitudes—it’s kind of like working with younger stand-ups, they just want to get up in front of crowds, they want exposure and the opportunity to get up and perform, and I like working with people like that. They have the same kind of mindset, so I’m just trying to help them out a little, get more shows on campus. So far, I’ve really liked working with them, I hope we can do more with them. »buzz: When did you guys first start thinking
4 buzz August 28-September 3, 2015
about cementing an official partnership with the student teams? »JT: It was right around the time I started thinking about doing CU Comedy shows at Venue 51. We’re going to be doing the Student Stand Up Competition, but I wanted something a little more student-oriented. It seems like, for whatever reason, there’s way more interest for students doing improv than stand-up [at Illinois]. We’re hoping to get a couple of them to cross over. I would like to do more of mash-up shows between the students and stand-up, and I think it’s a good thing towards the end of the show to have the improv groups do a longer set. Once we started putting stand-up shows together for this year, we knew we really wanted to include them—plus, they reach way more college students than I’m able to! Partnering with them helps me with the commotion, they all jump on board really quick. »buzz: You mentioned there’s more student interest in improv at Illinois. How would you characterize the difference between improv and stand-up? »JT: Oh, wow. It’s so different! I’m comfortable doing stand-up, I’ve been doing standup for a while… I cannot do improv. It’s weird because it’s all performance and most of it is comedy-based, but it’s two different muscles performing. Whatever it is—it seems like it’d be very similar, I’ve had so many people from improv try to cross over to stand-up and viceversa, and for whatever reason it’s just completely different. Stand-up by nature is kind of
selfish, in a way, because it’s you—you’re up there by yourself, you have complete control, whereas in improv, if you do that it’s a huge nono, trying to take over a whole scene. I’ve heard when stand-ups try to do improv, at first, that’s kind of what they do, because they’re used to being onstage by themselves. It’s hard to cross over, but it’d be great to see more people become interested in both forms. »buzz: Can you tell me more about the upcoming Student Stand Up Competition on September 12? »JT: We did one before in May at Gregory Hall before all the students left, but this will be something different where, at least at the beginning, we’re going to be doing it each month. This will be our first go at having a monthly competition. We’re going to have a lot of Illinois alumni join us as hosts and judges for the competition, since we have a few student stand-ups who graduated but they’re still around the area. Participants have to be current University of Illinois students, they’re delivering five minute sets, and Spicy Clamato is set to perform. »buzz: Why did you decide to house your collaboration with students at Venue 51? »JT: I’ve only done one show with Venue 51— last year we did a CU Comedy Festival. I like the venue, it has a very nice layout for stand-up, with a low ceiling—we were trying to find something close to campus, which can get pretty difficult. Venue 51 is their own establishment and it’s still extremely close to campus, it’s easy for college
students to get there, and they’re set up really well for live performances - and they haven’t done a lot of that yet, so we’re hoping to change that. They do mostly private parties and I know they do classes there—pole fitness and a few others, and I know they’re working towards opening it up full-time with a bar and DJ. We’re trying to see how stuff goes with having shows like this, see if Venue 51 wants to continue doing more live entertainment. »buzz: Does CU Comedy have more plans in store that you’re excited to get started on? »JT: With the Venue 51 project, we’re trying to do more shows that really focus on students, that are student-run, that allow us to work with them and can help them carve out their own niche. Over at CU Comedy, we have a lot of shows coming up. We’re doing a homecoming comedy series on a lot of Saturday nights through October and November. Starting October 3 at Soma Ultralounge, we’re having two shows featuring female stand-ups from Chicago’s Hoo Ha Comedy at 8 and 10:30 p.m. I love working with them, they’re all terrific, and I think it’ll be a really great show for the area with an all-female group coming in, so we really hope that show goes well. That kind of kicks it off, then it goes to Sunday, November 15. We’re still slowly putting it all together, but we’re really excited to host this huge series of outside performers coming in.

MOVIE REVIEW - THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. *X\ 5LWFKLH¡V QHZ OLJKW KHDUWHG VS\ IOLFN PHHWV H[SHFWDWLRQV EXW GRHV QRWKLQJ WR H[FHHG WKHP CARLY SMITH
"THE
Man from U.N.C.L.E.," Guy Ritchie’s new summer blockbuster, hit the screens a couple of weeks ago and has been met with mixed but mostly friendly reviews. The general consensus seems to be that it was a solidly made picture, if a bit “prettier� than Guy Ritchie’s usual rough-and-tumble bad boy style of yesteryear, and perhaps was not up for overtaking its summer competition. In this case, the general consensus pretty much has it down. The modern reboot of the 1960's spy show (that none of U.N.C.L.E.'s target audience was alive to watch) about the frigid U.S. – Russian stalemate (that none of U.N.C.L.E.’s target audience actually remembers) is still fun and engaging for those unfamiliar with the history. Additionally, with its PG-13 rating, "U.N.C.L.E." shies away from the profane and explicit, making it a clean film that you, the little ones and your parents (who do remember the original) can really enjoy. Instead of burdening the plot with the explicit, the film puts an emphasis on smooth speech and suave style, with handsome leads Henry Cavill ("Man of Steel") as American spy Napoleon Solo and Armie Hammer ("The Social Network") as Russian KBG agent Illya Kuryakin, who does a great job of looking the woo-inspiring part. Additionally, the film throws in a cute little attraction situation between German Gaby and Russian Illya, whose covers happened to be that they are married—a fact that they both pretend disgusts them. The film has its clever, funny moments—Illya taking over Gaby’s cover identity fitting, explaining that his wife would never dare to wear that belt with that dress and so on—and, of course, the traditional American “spy movie� conventions— fast talking American spy Solo, more than willing to overly womanize "for the sake of the mission.� However, those moments aside, it is not nearly as enjoyable or hilarious as Matthew Vaughn’s "Kingsman: The Secret Service" from earlier this summer, nor as hard-hitting, gritty, and high stakes as Sam Mendes’s "Spectre" will surely be; a disappointing fact, perhaps because a solid mix of the two is sort of what we were all expecting with Guy Ritchie behind the camera. Nonetheless, while the film may not have been enough to outdo the highly anticipated Mission Impossible sequel at the box office, it was a truly fun and enjoyable movie, and one that the whole family can enjoy. I would like to hope that this new ensemble of young actors and (relative) blockbuster newbie Ritchie are just finding their footing for now, and that this will be the start of a quite enjoyable, if lighthearted, spy series.

chats with Jessica Snyder, the Interim Executive Director at the Urbana Business Association, about sweet corn, vendors, entertainment and more at the Urbana Sweet Corn Festival that will be held on Friday, August 28 and Saturday, August 29. »buzz: What was the main goal or purpose for the Sweet Corn Festival? »Jessica Snyder: Well, it began in 1975. Busey Bank started the festival as a “Thank you” and give-back event for their customers. Since then, it has really grown and expanded 40 years later. »buzz: Wow, that is a very long time. Why do you think the festival has been successful over the years? »JS: It’s a really great community event! There are so many things that are very pleasing to the people. There’s live music, food, drink, lots of information booths to learn from and it's family friendly. And who doesn’t love sweet corn, to be honest? »buzz: Where does the sweet corn come from? »JS: We order the sweet corn from a nearby farm called Maddox Sweet Corn Farm, it’s less than an hour away and they grow corn just for the festival.

»buzz: This is actually my first time hearing about a festival like this. Is only sweet corn involved? Are there different foods at the festival that consist of sweet corn as well? Like a sweet corn corn bread? »JS: No, it’s just servings of corn on the cob that were made using an antique steam engine. You can have butter or no butter, salt or pepper. However, some vendors do incorporate sweet corn in their menus. »buzz: After viewing the website, it looks like there will be a variety of food vendors. What kind of food vendors can the guests can expect to see? »JS: Well, there will be barbeque, corn dogs, funnel cakes, elephant ears, pizza, Korean tacos, turkey legs and ice cream. You know, typical festival food! If you can think of it, we probably have it at the festival. »buzz: What were the most popular food items that the festival has had in the past? »JS: They’re all pretty popular. However, if the weather is pretty hot, then the ice cream tends to be more popular. I personally love the barbeque vendors. »buzz: I also noticed information vendors. What does this consist of?
»JS: Well, information vendors are different businesses, companies and organizations that share information to promote themselves. Some information vendors do demonstrations as well. There will be yoga studios, chiropractors, voter registration booths, downtown businesses, Action Jackson Comics, a music studio for the arts and a cinema gallery about fine arts. »buzz: For the entertainment, I noticed several marching bands and jazz ensembles. How was the entertainment selected for the festival? »JS: There are three different music stages for the entertainment, which are the main stage, One Community Together, and the Folk and Roots. The University of Illinois sponsors the high school bands, and CU Folk and Roots Festival sponsors the folks and roots groups. »buzz: The site also mentions arts and crafts. What kind of art will be presented at the festival and are the artists local? »JS: There will be arts and crafts as kids activities by the One Community Together stage, vegetable stamping, Japanese calligraphy and crafts with the Spurlock Museum. Vendors will
also be selling arts and crafts, some are local and some will be traveling the festival circuit. »buzz: I think it’s really great how the festival is very family friendly. Are there any activities for the kids to indulge in? »JS: There are two different kid zones, which includes inflatables, climbing walls, bouncing houses, free reading about agriculture on Friday, star gazing, vegetable stamping, instrument petting zoo (trying out different instruments) and the Spurlock Museum’s arts and crafts. All activities are free and the times listed on website. The ticket prices vary for the inflatables. »buzz: The website mentions volunteering for the festival, how can people get involved? »JS: They can go to the volunteer page for the festival. It lists different volunteer opportunities such as delivering ice, working in the recycling tent or being the mascot. There are more descriptions on the website and time slots to sign up for. They’ll have to provide their name and email.

URBANA SWEETCORN FESTIVAL 40TH ANNIVERSARY &RUQ WRGD\ FRUQ WRPRUURZ NATALKA FYDYSHYN
ARGUABLY
the best vegetable, corn is used for food, fuel and a multitude of other purposes. It is especially important in the Midwest, where the cornfields can stretch as far as the eye can see. Because it is so plentiful, corn can sometimes be taken for granted. Luckily, the Urbana Sweetcorn Festival takes two days out of the year to commemorate and honor the crop we love so much. This year, the festival takes place on Friday, August 29 and Saturday, August 30. Although sweetcorn is the star of the festival, there will also be plenty of musical performances, vendors and activities to help celebrate our superfood. This year also marks the 40th anniversary of the Urbana Sweetcorn Festival. Jessica Snyder, festival director and interim executive director of the Urbana Business Association, explains how the anniversary will be celebrated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it bigger and better than ever before! Historically weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only had one big headlining act at the festival, but this year we have three. The Psychedelic Furs and The Church will headline on Friday, and Berlin is our main act on Saturday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all three are amazing bands and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so excited. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also expanded the scope of our kids activities, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making it more fun for everyone!â&#x20AC;? said Snyder. Other musical acts include Sun Stereo, Tigerbeat, Bones Jugs n Harmony, Cody & The Gateway Drugs, Tara Terra and more. Alleya Weibel, University student and violinist for Tara Terra, said she is excited to play at the Urbana Sweetcorn Festival again since performing with the Central High School marching band. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, I consider Tara Terra to be the product of collaboration. I describe our genre as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;indie-rock alternative,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; but really there are various influences that come from all our members backgrounds and
interests. Jazz, classical, pop, chant and more all find their way into our sound at some point during a set - with a side of fresh vocal harmonies,â&#x20AC;? said Weibel. According to Snyder, the festival has grown a lot since it started in 1975 as a way for Busey Bank to show appreciation to their customers. It continued to grow over the years and eventually came under the ownership of the Urbana Business Association, said Snyder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What started out as a small event in a parking lot has expanded in scope to cover the entirety of downtown Urbana. Over the years weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve added other food and drinks besides sweet corn, a vintage car show, three stages of live music, tons and tons of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainment and much more. It grows more and more each year and we just hope we can keep this great community momentum going in the future,â&#x20AC;? said Snyder. Besides the musical performances, there will be plenty of other activities for kids and adults to enjoy. Included is a demonstration of the art of Shodo (Japanese calligraphy), an instrument petting zoo, early American popcorn-making, viewings of the moon and Saturn through a telescope and more. All of these activities are for free, but there will also be food and merchandise vendors serving delectable food from your favorite local restaurants, along with booths selling everything from silver jewelry to face painting. Whether you are in it for the Psychedelic Fursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new wave rock or want to indulge in a buttered cob of corn, the Urbana Sweetcorn Festival has everything you need for a perfect summer weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why celebrate sweet corn? Why not! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a staple food for us in the Midwest and a great representation of Illinois agriculture, the end of summer, and a hat tip to our roots. Not to mention itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s totally delicious,â&#x20AC;? said Snyder.

ON
Sunday, Baltimore-based rock outfit Multicult returns to Champaign-Urbana with a show at The Highdive. The last time they were in the area was in 2014 when they played a show at Error Records with Withershins. Since then, they released an LP on Sleeping Giant Glossolalia Records entitled Variable Impulse. Variable Impulse is Multicult’s third LP, and on it the group continues to develop their sound - a mix of post-punk and noise-rock played loud and hard, characterized by an aggressive bass line and brash vocals. This time, Multicult is making their way to The Highdive in Champaign as part of their summer tour with Nashville math rockers Gnarwhal, joined also by Chicago shoegaze outfit Great Deceivers and local alternative/space rock band The Autocorrect. Ahead of Sunday’s show, we caught up with guitarist and vocalist Nick Skrobisz, who originally began Multicult as a solo project before recruiting bassist Rebecca Burchette and drummer Jake Cregger. »buzz: It’s been over a year since you guys have been in the Champaign-Urbana area. What has the band been up to? »Nick Skrobisz: We’ve done a couple tours since then, along with tons of writing and recording for our next LP. »buzz: You guys are heading out on tour again. What are you most excited for? »NS: Really looking forward to going through the desert again this time around. Such incredible vistas! »buzz: What would you say makes a Multicult performance unique and fun? »NS: Not sure if I’m the one to answer that [laughs]. They definitely vary from show to show. We try to be ourselves and not get distracted by background noise. »buzz: On the topic of musical performances, does the band (or each of you individually) have a pivotal experience that changed everything in terms of perspective? »NS: Can’t speak for the other two, but it’s been a while since I’ve undergone any sort of massive shift recently that affects my understanding or relationship with live shows. Definitely seems that things are better all around when there’s a comfort level with the people watching our set. Even when things start cold, people generally warm up to us, and that feels good. »buzz: I wanted to touch on your musical backgrounds. What were you guys doing before Multicult? How does it compare to the experience you’re having now? »NS: We have all been in a lot of bands. Rebecca used to play in Fight Amp, while Jake and
8 buzz August 28-September 3, 2015
I play in Triac and The Wayward, respectively. Lots of other bands in between all of those as well. Of course, you find what you like more and more the longer you do something. Every band is its own thing, and that’s part of what makes this stuff so worthwhile. The musical output is an incarnation of those real relationships, and there is so much robustness in that. »buzz: Sticking to the subject of your music background, where are you guys from? »NS: Rebecca and I both are from Baltimore, although I grew up in Northern Virginia, where Jake currently resides. »buzz: Multicult is one of the coolest band names I have heard. What does it mean, and what’s its origin? »NS: No strict meaning there. It’s a name that can be interpreted any number of ways. The beauty of language, I guess. »buzz: Multicult’s music has a cool, unique sound. How would you describe it? How would you describe Multicult’s take on music genre? »NS: Thanks! It’s so easy to click something and make your own assessment with your own vocabulary, but I’ll indulge: minimal structure with lots of volume. »buzz: You guys started off with the self-titled album in 2010, and your most recent release was Variable Impulse last September. How would you describe that four-year experience in terms of growth? »NS: Pretty vast difference there. The selftitled release is all solo arrangements, which were eventually adapted to a live set. Fastforwarding to now, the arrangements are very collaborative and start from any instrument, at very random times throughout the process. There’s a lot of back-and-forth between editing demos and live-jamming new ideas. Eventually songs come out the other end, but only the ones that everyone’s happy with. »buzz: Lastly, are there any projects you guys are currently working on? If so, can you tell us a little about it? »NS: Rebecca recently recorded some guest vocals on the newest Fight Amp record, which came out great. Jake is still doing Triac, and I still play in The Wayward, who also have a lot of new material recorded. Having open access to a studio, we all are tinkering with something at any given time. Multicult will perform this Sunday, August 30th at The Highdive with Gnarwhal, Great Deceivers and The Autocorrect. Show at 7:30 p.m. $8 at the door. Ages 19+.
