FLAMIN’ GROOVIES’

GROOVE ON

Bassist George Alexander talks upcoming Jersey City Gig and 50 years Playing Rock

By Darren Paltrowitz If you ask five people how they first learned about the Flamin’ Groovies, you’ll probably get five different answers. For some people, their introduction was Cracker covering the Groovies’ “Shake Some Action” for the Clueless soundtrack. For others it may have been decades earlier when Mick Jagger referred to the Groovies’ Teenage Head as his

favorite of album of 1971.

But regardless when you found out about the band, they helped inspire a lot of key punk and power pop artists.

It’s been 50 years since the Flamin’ Groovies formed in San Francisco, their lineup still includes Cyril Jordan, Chris Wilson and George Alexander from their “classic” lineup; Victor Penalosa joined a few years ago on drums.

The River View Observer had the opportunity to do some Q&A with bassist Alexander in advance of the Groovies’ November 21st show at Jersey City’s Monty Hall. Alexander had some great words to offer when asked about “other projects” of his. 2016 is slated to bring the first new Flamin’ Groovies album in over 30 years, and a longin-the-works documentary Cont’d on page 18

DECONSTRUCTING CONSUMERISM Waks Cont’d from page 2 ambivalence that lies within.”

Waks’ works have been exhibited in galleries in New Jersey and New York, including two highly successful solo exhibitions in 2010. His work is part of the permanent collection of the Jersey City Museum, and Ogilvy CommonHealth Worldwide, part of one of the largest public relations agencies, recently acquired several of his paintings for its collection.

Waks holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology from Catholic University of America in Washington D.C. and a law degree from Temple University - James E. Beasley School of Law. He clerked at the Superior Court in Paterson, did a stint in politics, and now seems to enjoy his time as artist and arts administrator; he joined the Hudson County Cultural

Arts team in February.

“If anyone wants to do a film in Hudson, I work with the producer,” Waks says.

“If they need to use a county park or courtroom, I help them with the location. Our office does a lot of programming for Black History Month; Women’s History Month; and we do art shows.

We have a show up right now by children from St. Joseph’s School for the Blind.

It’s great.”

Waks has earned several Print fellowships including one from the Printmaking Center of New Jersey, Bridgewater, in 2012; and in 2008, he was named a New Jersey Print and Paper Fellow at the Brodsky Center for Innovative Editions, Rutgers University. He holds a law degree and is a member of the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Bar Associations, but these days Waks prefers creating art and

“McLandscape 4”

by Joe Waks working with artists in different media, he says.

“It affords me more time to express my creative side,” Waks says.

Although he prefers the work to speak for itself; Waks says his art should not be misconstrued as preachy or dogmatic.

“I poke fun at consumerism but I own six pairs of sneakers, so I’m as guilty as

the next guy,” Waks says.

Sure, consumerism seems to have taken over our lives, but sometimes you just have to laugh at the excess.

“I try to get my points across with some humor, for sure,” Waks says. “In a lot of my work, I use images, icons that are common, familiar to us. I re-contextualize them, put them in a different light and a different context. I think this stuff is affecting us psychologically. I’m trying to get into people’s minds.”

On his website, joewaks. com, Waks sums up his artistic vision this way: “…My work reflects our universal consumerist ethos by capturing the icons and emblems common amongst diverse human civilizations and

underscores my passion for politics and popular culture.

I utilize paint, text in various languages, newspapers, maps, metal leaf, product packaging and numerous other disposable items to create layered images depicting America’s strong tradition of unbridled consumption and its wobbly relationship with the remainder of the planet…Although my art echoes that of Andy Warhol, Edward Ruscha, Richard Hamilton and Allan D’Arcagelo, it takes its cue more from Aunt Jemima than Jasper Johns; Pabst Blue Ribbon more than James Rosenquist.”

Through photographs, artifacts, and backstory, the exhibit offers visitors a poignant peek into the lives of some of the ship’s passengers and the items they brought with them for their ill-fated journey.

“The Titanic is such a powerful piece of world history,” Paul Hoffman, Liberty Science Center President and CEO says.

“The moving human stories will surely capture our visitors’ imaginations, but the technological feats involved in the ship’s construction and rediscovery make this exhibit ideal for the Center.”

There have been several exhibits of the Titanic over the past 15 years, and more

RMS Titanic, Inc. is the only company permitted by law to recover objects from the wreck of the Titanic. The company was granted Salvor-inPossession rights to the wreck site of Titanic by a U.S. federal court in 1994 and since then it has conducted seven research and recovery expeditions to the Titanic rescuing more than 5,500 artifacts.

Located on the Jersey City waterfront adjacent to Liberty State Park, LSC houses 12 museum exhibition halls, a live animal collection with 110 species, giant aquariums, a 3D theater, the nation’s largest IMAX Dome Theater, live simulcast surgeries, tornado

STAN KRAUSE TO CELEBRATE 50 YEARS IN MUSIC Owner of Stan’s Square Records in Jersey City to Celebrate Expansive Music Career

River View Staff Writer On Sat, Nov. 21, Stan Krause, owner of Stan’s Square Records on Bergen Avenue in Jersey City will celebrate 50 years in the music business as both a record store owner and the owner of Catamount Records, his own record label.

Krause who has been in the music business since 1965 has some impressive credits. In the 1960s he was at the forefront of a cappella music and recorded local boy-and-girl groups from the Metropolitan area – groups that are considered premiere a cappella singing groups.

The Nov. 21 celebration takes place at the Chandelier Restaurant in Bayonne

where Krause’s career will be honored with a buffet, show and dancing from 7 pm until midnight.

For a $50 ticket, guests will enjoy an open buffet, performances by several a cappella groups and True Devine and the 1&9 rhythm & blues dance band.

In 2014, Krause was recognized for his contribution to Jersey City’s music scene by the City of Jersey City and was presented with a Proclamation by Jersey City Mayor Steven M. Fulop. At the event which was held at Jersey City Hall Council Chambers, friends and supporters showed videos clips and speakers gave tributes to Krause and shared their

feelings about his contribution to music.

In the book “Acappella Street Corner Vocal Groups—A Brief History and Discography,” authors

Abe Santiago and Steven J. Dunham said this about the music visionary.

“Krause’s work during the early 60s and 70s solidified R&B a cappella as a valid

and legitimate art form,” Santiago and Dunham state in the book. “Although the public, in general, still prefers mainstream music, a number of his groups gained not only regional and national recognition but international as well.”

Cont’d from page 5 which makes the experience very human. The story of the Titanic is more than just the story of an ocean liner buried in a watery grave.

The exhibit focuses on the RMS Titanic’s human stories told through authentic artifacts and room re-creations. Perfume from a maker who was traveling to New York to sell his samples, china etched with the logo of the elite White Star Line, the bell from the Ship’s crow’s nest – these and many other authentic objects offer haunting, emotional connections to lives abruptly ended or forever changed.

DIORAMAS, PEOPLE’S STORIES Entering the exhibit, visitors are taken back in time to 1912, with each visitor receiving a board pass of an actual passenger on the Titanic’s manifest. Visitors then begin a chronological journey through the life of the Titanic, moving through the ship’s construction, to life on board, to the ill-fated sinking and amazing artifact rescue efforts.

Through dramatic photographs and dioramas, the exhibit offers visitors a multi-media experience into the world of the Titanic. Dioramas of Firstand-Third Class cabins are on display.(Photos on page 5 ) There’s a small slab of iceberg where visitors can place their palms to feel just how frigid the water was that night. .

“It’s sad. The stories of the people are sad.”

Alison Cheang, 13, of Marlboro, describes the exhibit as fascinating.

“I especially like the stories,” Alison says, “and the artifacts. The things that were in their bags.”

Two Interesting Facts About the Titanic

•Canceled Lifeboat Drill Originally, a lifeboat drill was scheduled to take place on board the Titanic on April 14, 1912 - the day the Titanic hit the iceberg. However, for an unknown reason, Captain Smith canceled the drill.

Many believe that had the drill taken place, more lives could have been saved.

• The Titanic’s Newspaper The Titanic seemed to have everything on board, including its own newspaper. The Atlantic Daily Bulletin was printed every day on board the Titanic. The newspaper included news, advertisements, stock prices, horse-racing results, society gossip, and the day’s menu.

New Traffic Pattern Allows Direct Daytime Access to Avenue A from Route 440 Bayonne Mayor Jimmy Davis announced that a new daytime, weekday traffic pattern will allow motorists direct access to Avenue A from Route 440.

This new pattern took effect on Monday, November 2, at the request of Mayor Davis. Previously, drivers were forced to do a U-turn at 5th Street, due to the reconstruction of the Bayonne Bridge.

Now, during the daytime, motorists driving southbound on Route 440 will be able to

proceed directly to the Avenue A exit ramp. Mayor Davis said, “I asked the Port Authority for this new traffic pattern, so that residents who live on the west side of Bayonne would be able to get home more easily.”

The new daytime traffic pattern will be in effect on weekdays, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., when the Bayonne Bridge is closed. When the bridge is open on weekdays, from 3:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., motorists may leave Route

440 in Bayonne from any available exit. After the bridge closes again for overnight construction from 8:30 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. on weeknights, southbound motorists on Route 440 will have to do a U-turn at 5th Street. The Avenue A exit ramp will not be available during overnight construction periods.

The new traffic pattern will reduce the number of

trucks going onto 5th Street in the daytime on weekdays. For information on

The food was perfect - we had a wide range of orders from seafood to vegetarian options to, of course, steak and it was all delish and cooked right to order.

VISUAL ARTS

PAUL VINCENT GALLERY, 49 Harrison Street (Observer Highway, HOB. (973) 464-1893. Now Showing: Works by Robert Piersanti, Kayt Hester and Joe Waks in the group show “SOUND AND VISION”.

Joe Waks says of his work: “The paintings that are in the Hoboken show expound on the central tenet of playwright Martin Esslin, whose writings focused on the meaninglessness and incongruity of life.

The paintings ‘re-contextualize’ the icons and emblems common amongst disparate human civilizations by utilizing paint, text, advertising imagery and events plucked straight from the newspaper.

Consumption and the ubiquity of consumer culture are at the

heart of these works, but there is a pervasive ambivalence that lies within.”

ISSYRA GALLERY, Issyra Gallery, 300 Observer Highway, HOB. (917) 922-690/, (201) 459 -0700; www.issyragallery.com.

Now showing: MARRIAGE by Amira Karaoud, Mark James and Issa Sow. “This unique show puts the concept into practice. Marriage is the careful and harmonious assembly of Amira Karaoud’s touching photography with Mark James’ vibrant work with a splash of Issa Sow’s audacious creativity. Amira is a Tunisian artist photographer. Her artwork takes a critical view on social, cultural and environmental issues, deconstructing the rules of a modern society that breaks values and put limits and barriers on different ethnic groups, gender and culture; treating them less important.”

by Saul Ostrow. “Within Eileen S. Kaminsky’s diverse and eclectic private collection, curator Saul Ostrow detects an unmistakeable thread of female agency and identity.

The ESKFF Collection

began in 1990, when Eileen S. Kaminsky bought her first lithograph. Driven by instinct, her collection has grown expansively over the years.

Going through it, Ostrow observed an emphasis on Woman, and most particularly, the various parameters and subjectivities that influence how both artist and viewer confront female representation.”

EXHIBITION

LIBERTY SCIENCE CENTER, Liberty State Park, 222 Jersey City Boulevard, JC. (201) 200-1000; www.lsc. org. Now through May 30, 2016: TITANIC: THE ARTIFACT EXHIBITION. “The exhibit focuses on the legendary RMS Titanic‘s compelling human stories. It features more than 100 authentic artifacts set within replicas of cabins and other areas within the famous ill-fated ship.

Upon entering the exhibition, visitors will be drawn back in time to April 1912, when the ship embarked on its maiden voyage. They will receive a replica boarding pass, assume the role of a passenger, and follow a chronological journey through life on the Titanic—from the ship’s construction to life on board, to the moments of impact and sinking, and the modern day efforts to recover and conserve the wreckage for future generations.”

FLAMIN’ GROOVIES GROOVE ON Cont’d from page 3

titled The Incredible Flamin’ Groovies Movie.

RVO: What do you wish more people knew about the Flamin Groovies?

GL: We have always been a sort of enigma to the music scene. On the one hand, we have been portrayed as being “out of step” or “out of sync” with the current music scenes of the time. Yet, looking back later on in our career, we have now been credited by others as being forerunners of the punk rock and power pop genres. A strange juxtaposition. Actually, if you listen to our albums you may notice we play a variety of styles based on the major musical influences in our lives, mostly of the ‘50s and ‘60s bands and artists. I think listening to our albums is more like hearing a jukebox selection of songs rather than a one-dimensional format of music. Our songs represent on the whole a history of rock ‘n’ roll from our perspective. Not counting our cover material, if you listen closely you can discern who or what our major influences are in each song.

RVO: When did you perform last in New Jersey?

GL: Our last performance in Jersey, I believe, was in Hoboken at Maxwell’s in July 2013.

RVO: Did you play in Jersey before that?

GL: I can’t say for sure whether we played in Jersey prior to that. My memory gets vague when I try to think back 30 or 40 years. I believe Cyril played with Roy Loney and the A-Bones at Maxwell’s around 2009.

RVO: What do you expect from playing at Monty Hall?

GL: Of course, I’m hoping for a good turnout of fans and for new people to come and check us out. What excites me is when the audience is into what we do and the energy flows back and forth. We are all there to have fun and maybe even be inspired by the event, hopefully so.

RVO: What’s your favorite song to play live?

GL: Our set is composed of some of our favorites selected from each of our recorded albums. However, “Let Me Rock,” which is the first song Cyril and Chris wrote together, gets me off pretty good. We never officially recorded that

song until recently and it will be included in our new album.

RVO: Beyond the Groovies, do you have any other projects going on?

GL: Until the band reformed, I was basically living the life of a retired person. My main concern -- if you can call it a project -- has been to focus on my well-being. By that I mean learning what it takes to be content with who you are, where you are and what you’re doing with your time.

Try making a list of five or 10 things that are important to your life and then see if you can schedule doing those things every day, as opposed to just the mundane things you do on a daily basis. For example, doing things to maintain your health or interacting with a family member might be included on your list. Or engaging in a creative activity or perhaps doing something that enhances your financial stability. In any case, I recommend making your own list and sticking to it until it becomes a habit of doing what’s important to your life every day. Don’t ignore those things which give value to your well-being.

RVO: Do you have a favorite album of 2015?

Page 18-November 15-November 30, 2015 River View Observer

GL I don’t have a favorite, although an occasional song or artist may capture my attention for a while. But when I do listen to music, it varies in style. I might get off hearing something from the Foo Fighters or Taylor Swift or even Andrea Bocelli, who I have tickets to see in December. I like good music from any genre. As John Sebastian

once said: “If the music is groovy, you know you really can’t say no.”
