PatDiNizio is cominghome.Afterninemonths living in theRivieraHotel &Casi-no in Las Vegas, enduring the heat of thedesert, the lead singer of The Smither-eens will return to his native New Jerseyat the end of the month.

DiNizio spent those months in a one-man show called “Confessions of a RockStar,’’ which he performed six days aweek.

“I do a lot of Smithereens songs, talkabout the history of rock ‘n’ roll. I encour-age people to remember their roots.There’s a lot of humor in the show, whatit’s like to live the life of rock ‘n’ roll,” Di-Nizio said in a phone interview this week.

But, , it’s pureSmithereensat theGold-enNuggetSaturdaynight, a two-plushourshow of non-stop rock ‘n’ roll from morethan a dozen albums.

The genesis of “Confessions’’ began asa series of living-room concerts, acousticshows in private homes, some lasting aslong as three hours.

Dinizio was ahead of the curve on liv-ing-room shows. “I flatter myself that Ihelped pioneer the concept. I would goanywhere people wanted me. But it’s notenough to just do the songs,” he said.

Andy Choy, an executive of the Rivi-era, caught The Smithereens show at RedRocks Resort Las Vegas, tracked DiNiziodownandheard about the house concerts.“Hemade an offer I could not refuse,” theScotch Plains native said.

But ninemonths is a long time to live ina hotel.

“I’m anxious to get home to New Jer-sey,” he said. “I’d love to do a show likethis in Atlantic City if someonemakesmeoffer.”

Whether that happens or not, “Confes-sions’’ and The Smithereens remain twodifferent animals.

“Ninety percent of those who come tothe one-man show do not knowme or TheSmithereens. It’s rewarding to make be-lievers out of them, though,” he said.

On the other hand, The Smithereensshow is a sold-out event attended by peo-ple who grew upwith the band. “They gotmarried to our songs. We’ve been part oftheir life a long time.We look intomirror,they look like us, speak like us, dress likeus. We owe them everything,” DiNiziosaid.

Formed in 1980, The Smithereens per-form 30 to 40 shows a year. In addition toDiNizio, who sings lead and plays guitar,the group consists of Jim Babjak on gui-tar, MikeMesaros on bass and Dennis Di-ken behind the drums.

“We do faithful live renditions of oursongs, deep album cuts and fan favorites.Sometimespeoplerequestsongs.Wehaveno planned set list; I only know what westart off with. That way we keep it freshand alive. It drives engineers crazy.”

“We approach every concert as if it’sthe lastconcertwedo together.Wehave tobe twiceasgoodandwehave to rockhard-er than we ever did.”

Each fight goes a maximum of three,three-minute rounds. Fighters canwin byknockout, refereedecisionorby theoppo-nent giving up. Punching, kicking andwrestling all are permitted.

When Jen Kirkman auditioned as awriter for Chelsea Handler, she walkedaway thinking there was no way she gotthe gig.

“I thought I blew the interview,” shesaid in a phone interview last week.

“Chelsea asked if I am a lesbian and Isaid ‘No, but if you need one I’ll try mybest.’ She stared at me. I had sneakers onso maybe she thought I was a lesbian,”said Kirkman, who appears on a doublebill with Josh Wolf at Borgata June 22.

To her surprise, Kirkman landed thejob and not only writes for Handler, butappears on both of her shows, “ChelseaLately” and its spin-off, “After Lately.”

Kirkman, who grew up in Massachu-setts, always had an interest in comedy. “Iwanted to be a rock star but that did notpanout.But Ididn’t thinkIwas that funny.More like a crabby dramatic person.”

But when Kirkman was older and liv-ing inBoston shewanted togive comedyatry.

So she attended open mic nights. Andon her first night, she scored laughs.

“My first timewas great. I felt like— Iam not crazy. I knew I could do this. I gotcocky.”

Then the laughs stopped. “Almost ev-eryone does well the first time on stage.Then they start bombing. Failure was

very validating,” she said.Nowadays, Kirkman handles the ups

and downs.Even on a half hour set, some jokes do

not land. “That does not bother me any-more. If I bomb, I had a bad day at work. Iknow what I did wrong,” she said.

Comics such as Sam Kinison, GeorgeCarlin, Bill Cosby and Joan Rivers pro-vide the inspiration, but not the influence.

“No one influences my style. I need towork as hard as that person. ,” said Kirk-man, who is now a regular on the Los An-geles comedy circuit where she can beseenregularlyat theUprightCitizensBri-gade Theatre, Largo and the HollywoodImprov.

Kirkman’s story-telling humor re-flects her personal life. “I could spend 10minutes on the same topic, telling tons ofjokes.”

She also believes in integrating the au-dience. “They can have interesting situa-tions. Like thecouple in the front rowcud-dling and holding hands. Turns out theywere divorced and just started datingagain. People can say something funny orweird like that,” she said.

Jen Kirkman who will perform at the Borgata, landed a job not only writing for ChelseaHandler, but appearing on both of her shows, ‘Chelsea Lately’ and its spin-off, ‘AfterLately.’ DANMAURIO

GAMING DESTINATIONS & DIVERSIONS

Growing up in Santa Monica, Calif.,surfing was a rite of passage for RobertTrujillo, who, with a decade playing inMe-tallica, is the baby in the band. So the up-coming Orion Music + More festival June23 and 24 at Bader Field offers a perfectjuxtaposition between West Coast andEast Coast.

“I’m embracing the spirit of the EastCoast,” Trujillo said in a phone interviewfrom Denmark, where the band has re-ceived a warm welcome. The country isthe birthplace of drummer Lars Ulrich.

Asa formermemberof thebandSuicid-al Tendencies, he followed skateboardingand surfing. “Punk rock embraced thestyle and the vibe. Part of the reason forOrion is the beach location. It’s exciting tobe so close to the Atlantic Ocean. It re-minds me of home,” Trujillo said.

To accommodate Trujillo’s love for

form themusic from “Ride the Lightning”on Saturday.

Orion will host the only North Ameri-can performances of these albums in 2012.“The Black Album’’ includes tracks like“Enter Sandman.” In recent tours ofEurope, there was demand to play the en-tirealbum,Trujillosaid.“Withtheanniver-sary, there was momentum in carryingthis into the states,” he said.

The band loves the idea of performingcomplete works, Trujillo said. “Somesongs we’ve never done live. It’s excitingfor us, but also a challenge. It’s an adven-ture. We’ll also do other material alongwith those albums. We’ll mix it up.”

Trujillo grew up around parents youngenough to be moved by Motown acts, LedZeppelin and Sly and the Family Stone.“Mymomwas into JamesBrown,” he said.

The music got him interested in learn-ing an instrument. The family lived in anapartment, so drumswere out. A friend ofhis father had a hollow body bass. He

learned on that, and then got a bass ampli-fier. Trujillo cites influences from JohnPaul Jones ofLedZeppelin to JacoPastori-us of Weather Report. In fact, Trujillo isproducing a movie about Pastorius.

“Cream was also a big influence,” hesaid. As was Metallica. So he couldn’t be-lieve he was asked to join the band.

“I went into productive mode. I had 22yearsofmusic to learn. It’s beenan incred-ible experience,” said Trujillo, who collab-oratedonhis firstMetallica album, “DeathMagnetic,” in 2008. “I live this music.”

surfing, the two-day festival will include asurf tent—alongwith dozens of acts rang-ing frommetal to alt rock, including Mod-est Mouse, Arctic Monkeys, Cage the Ele-phant and, yes, Suicidal Tendencies. Me-tallica will headline the closing sets bothnights.

“We feature some of the heavy rockbands we like. Bands that fly under the ra-dar, and are not quite there yet,” said thebass player.

“We wanted to do something like festi-vals in Europe,” Trujillo said. As a result,the fest isasmuchabout lifestyleasmusic.In addition to a surfing area, therewill be asection for custom cars, a nod to lead vo-calist James Hetfield’s hobby. Anothersection revolves around art and film.

Metallica will play separate albums intheir entirety each night. The Rock andRollHall of Famerswill celebrate the 20thanniversary of their self-titled album, alsoknown as “The Black Album,” by playingthedisc’s cutsonSunday, and theywill per-

Metallica still carries heavy-duty cred in the music world. The group will headline the Orion Music + More festival later on June 23 and 24. PHOTO PROVIDED
