News4U (N4U): Who or what got you into music?Branden Campbell (BC): Looking back, I think it was the immediate feeling I got from pop and 80’s rock. I was hooked right away on arti sts like Van Halen and Michael Jackson. As a young teen I got into Black Flag, The Misfi ts and Bad Brains, which lead to discovering local Las Vegas punk bands. The music and passion was so honest. I met a variety of older players that turned me onto more punk and alternati ve, but also funk like James Brown and Funkadelic. I gravitated to the groove.

N4U: What do you like most about the instrument you play? How does it move you?BC: I love playing bass because it’s the bridge between the rhythm and the melody.

N4U: Before recording, did you guys have any certain directi on in mind you wanted to go with Picture Show?BC: We didn’t want to focus too much on proving something for the sake of being interesti ng, or just to make a bold second record statement. We built a fan base on Habits, so why should we fl ip that script? But we did want to build upon that fi rst record and expand. I think we did that.

The Neon Trees will bring their luminescent, sleek brand of alt-pop to the Ford Center in downtown Evansville on April 12.

The band began capturing ears and hearts with their hit single “Animal” in 2010, boasti ng a passionate chorus and driving, jovial and crisp instrumentati on, it gathered instantaneous appeal. Fast forward to April 2012, the band released their sophomore album Picture Show to similar if not greater success thanks to the energeti c single “Everybody Talks.” Straight out of the Beehive State, the quartet is Tyler Glenn on lead vocals/ keyboard, Chris Allen on guitar, Branden Campbell on

bass and Elaine Bradley on drums/ backing vocals. They are touring solo and with Maroon 5 and Owl City in promoti on of their latest album. News4U got an opportunity to speak to bassist Branden Campbell in the midst of the band’s hecti c touring schedule.

@ The Ford Center: An Interview Bassist Branden Campbell

N4U: Do you have a favorite track to perform live? If so, why?BC: Right now, it’s “Trust.” It’s a good blend of alternati ve rock and dance. I think it’s a stand-out track on this tour.

N4U: In its recording stages, did any of you think that “Animal” had the potenti al to be the hit that it became? Explain.BC: We honestly thought it might get played on a few radio stati ons across America, but we never felt enti tled to a mega-hit. Never. We all come from the DIY local band world, so to end up with a world-wide hit single was a real treat. And then to repeat that with “Everybody Talks” was again, another great feeling. We’re glad people are enjoying our music and hope it puts them in a good mood.

N4U: What was your experience playing music with Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (The Killers) in Att aboy Skip?BC: Ronnie? Never heard of him. (Laughs) Those were great ti mes. We were all just friends hoping to get gigs and have fun playing. We were cutti ng our teeth, learning our craft , learning how to deal with promoters, touring, self-releasing albums and merchandise. It was all new to us, but I think we did great, and accomplished the fun. Everyone involved in ABS (Att aboy

Skip) looks back fondly. —Nick Durcholz

Phernett on’s daughter, Mykenna (“Mickey”) is one of the more than 400,000 individuals around the world living with this rare geneti c disorder. The disease creates a sense of constant hunger and if left unatt ended, suff erers of PWS

will literally eat themselves to death. Each year since its incepti on, Guns & Hoses has raised thousands of dollars for the cause, not to menti on the up-keep of Kids Kingdom Playground and countless other chariti es for children with disabiliti es. Phernett on spoke with News4U about the April 20th event that pits the EPD against the Evansville Fire Department (EFD) in a batt le royal inside the ring.

News4U (N4U): How did the idea for Guns & Hoses initi ally come about?Patrick Phernett on (PP): Well, they say the best ideas are stolen (laughs). I used to work in St. Louis, and they have been staging a similar event there for many years. It’s extremely popular and has raised a ton of money.

N4U: What makes this event such a success?PP: Well, it’s part rock concert, part boxing matches. We really try to emphasize the entertainment value. People always love our openings – they’re always fl ashy and patrioti c. This year there’s a twist that I can’t tell you about. But I promise it’s going to be big. As for the matches, there will be about 15. Thankfully, we always have plenty of volunteers, so I don’t have to fi ght (laughs)! The crowd really gets into the acti on and loves seeing the two departments clash.

N4U: What’s the relati onship like between the EPD and the EFD?PP: This event has done wonders for the relati onship. There will always be a natural rivalry between the two departments – it’s just built in. But since Guns & Hoses, we now have a common cause. You’ll see at the event – aft er each fi ght, the boxers will hug and hold each others’ hands in the air. When we’re out in the community serving the public, we have a lot to talk about with each other now because of this charity.

N4U: How close are you to realizing your dream of building an area group home for PWS children?PP: Based on the money raised from Guns & Hoses, we’re about four or fi ve years away from the goal. There are only a handful of homes around the country, and I have no doubt that once we open it, we will receive requests from all over. So, my hope is that we keep raising money and building more homes as ti me goes on.

N4U: Who are the people that have helped make this event a reality?PP: My fellow 911 Gives Hope board members have been invaluable: Billy Bolin, Chris Reiter, Matt Garnett , Dave Weis, Chris Everett and Darin Harmon. And I can’t sing the praises of EFD Inspector Mike Doran enough. I do this because my daughter has a disease, but these guys do it because that’s the kind of people they are – just good citi zens. —Thomas Ellis

Every single penny raised goes to charity, so come cheer (and boo) the blue and the red at the sixth annual Guns & Hoses on April 20th. The beat-downs begin at 7 p.m. Visit thefordcenter.com for more informati on. This Event is Sponsored by Budweiser.

Evansville Police Department (EPD) Detective/School Resources Officer Patrick Phernetton is on a mission. The driving force behind the local charity boxing event Guns & Hoses, he is laser-focused on making the upcoming

sixth edition the most successful yet. And he is taking another major step towards his ultimate goal: building a group home in the community for children afflicted with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS).

If you rent a home or apartment, renters insurance is a must-have. The average cost is around ten to fi ft een dollars per

month and it protects you and your stuff from all kinds of terrible things!

We all know someone who has been burglarized or who lost everything in a fi re or other disaster. Renters insurance protects your personal belongings. It also protects you if you are negligent and accidentally start a fi re by leaving the stove on, or if you leave your house/apartment in a hurry and leave the water running and it overfl ows into the house or the apartment below you! Without renters insurance, you would be personally responsible for any damage done to the home or apartment building. This does happen, and you want to make sure you are covered!

�"How do I know how much coverage to get?"�

When deciding how much personal property coverage you need, you should assess what it would cost to replace everything you own. Not what it is worth, but what it would take to go to the store and buy it again. That is the minimum amount of coverage you should purchase. When it comes to choosing liability coverage, I don’t recommend anything less than $300,000 for most people (it isn’t extremely costly to increase coverage beyond that either). That should ensure your assets are covered. So if you or one of your kids accidentally destroys your rented house or apartment, your insurance company will replace it and you will not be sued (by your landlords insurance company) for the cost of the building. If you don’t have the money to pay for the repairs, you can even lose future earnings unti l the debt is paid!

Renter’s insurance doesn’t cover everything so it is important to ask your agent what it does and doesn’t cover; the important thing is that you get the insurance to protect you!

The members of Brit(ish) Floyd (which include a New Yorker – more about that later) have taken the idea of a tribute band about as far as it can go, replicati ng every note, nuance, sound

and visual. The att enti on to detail is astonishing whether your eyes are open or closed. No, this is not a weekend band. These guys tour like a rock and roll machine, complete with hordes of semis carrying the giganti c stage props, lights and sound equipment necessary to make you feel like you walked into a genuine Pink Floyd concert. On the eve of a major North American tour that arrives at the Ford Center on April 19, bassist Ian Catt ell (the lone American in the band) spoke with News4U about the Brit Floyd experience.

News4U (N4U): You are obviously nuts about Pink Floyd. When did the band fi rst appear on your radar?Ian Catt ell (IC): I remember when The Wall came out – I was about 10 at the ti me. I won the album through a radio contest. But then my mom heard “Another Brick in the Wall” on our way to pick it up – specifi cally the line “we don’t need no educati on” – and decided that we don’t need that album (laughs)! I eventually got my own copy of The Wall though, and the rest is history.

N4U: How did a nati ve New Yorker become the front man for a Briti sh-based tribute band?IC: Well, Brit Floyd actually grew out of the Australian Pink Floyd tribute band, and their bassist didn’t want to tour much anymore. Auditi ons were held in the UK, but they couldn’t fi nd anybody. That led to an expanded search.

N4U: You are eff ecti vely the “Roger Waters” of the band. How daunti ng is it to be the voice of Pink Floyd every night?IC: I’ve received some training, so I can do very well with the vocal demands of Roger Waters songs, but if you were to ask me to sing Led Zeppelin or Queen it would be worse than awful (laughs). I just sort of sing “in character” and stay aware of my limitati ons.

N4U: For this tour, the band is playing fi ve full album sides from fi ve diff erent Pink Floyd albums. How did you decide which material to play?IC: It was tough. If we played everything song we wanted to, the gigs would be six hours long (laughs). It was just a process of fi guring out which sides of which albums would work well together – and just playing a nice variety of material for the fans and us.

N4U: Has the band received any comments – good or bad – from former members of Pink Floyd?IC: They are certainly aware of us. David Gilmour actually hired a former incarnati on of this band to play his 50th birthday party. Plus, he saw them in concert and came backstage aft erwards.

N4U: Considering the sheer spectacle of the producti on which mimics Pink Floyd’s 1994 Division Bell tour (known as the Pulse tour), how much preparati on was necessary?IC: Endless. I promise that no one who loves Pink Floyd will be disappointed. —Thomas Ellis

To purchase ti ckets, please visit thefordcenter.com or call 1-800-745-3000. The show starts at 7:30 p.m.

Brit Floyd is not your typical tribute band. No, this isn’t just a bunch of guys who get together on the weekends to escape the doldrums of their workaday lives by assuming the identi ti es of rock stars. Rather, this is an

obsession – a deep, all-encompassing love for the music of Pink Floyd.

That’s the idea behind a trashion show. A trashion show is a fashion show where the clothes are designed and made completely from materials that would otherwise be headed to the trash or recycling. Lorna Litt rell was traveling this past fall when she came upon the idea for a trashion show.

“I happened to see where another community had done a show like this, and I fell in love with the idea,” she said. Litt rell returned home and placed a few phone calls in hopes of bringing this event to the tri-state. She has partnered with the Downtown Henderson Partnership and Ohio Nati onal Bank to bring the Trashion Show to Henderson. Ohio Nati onal Bank helped immensely by underwriti ng some of the expense of the show. “Our photographer, Chelsea Crooks, created some posters and fl yers and distributed them with the help of the DHP, the Henderson Chamber of Commerce and Ohio Valley Nati onal Bank, and we were on our way!” exclaimed Litt rell. Submitt ed sketches will be reviewed by the panel of judges “so they can make sure they pass the wearability and wardrobe ‘good taste’ test.” “Hopefully this year, when everyone sees how much fun it will be, we will have more young people wanti ng to parti cipate,” said Litt rell. The parti cipants will enter at least one outf it to the show. They can choose to model the looks themselves or have the models exhibit them. Henderson’s Trashion Show will be a friendly competi ti on, and eight adults will be able to vie for the chance to win a $500 Grand Prize. Second place is $250, and People’s Choice Award will be $100. But the day won’t be all about competi ti on. There will also be non-competi ti ve parti cipati on as well. “I will be wearing an outf it that I am designing completely out of trash, just for fun. So is Pop Prince, one of our three judges. We’ll also have several other dignitaries and city offi cials sporti ng some ‘trashion’ wear,” Litt rell said. The Trashion show will be held April 27 at 2 p.m. at Studio 421. Studio 421 is located at 421 North Main Street in Henderson, KY. The show will be a true runway show, and it will be held outside, so those planning to att end should bring chairs or blankets for seati ng. Admission is completely free. So come out the Trashion Show, and get some idea of what you can do with all of that old stuff that you can’t bear to throw away! And what bett er ti me to have such an earth-friendly fashion show than right around Earth Day!? —Lauren VanCleve

Aldean told The Tennessean that he feels like a child at Christmas-ti me, “I’ve got all kinds of new stuff to play with,” he said. This go-around he had the ti me and money to put on the spectacular show that he’s been dying to give his fans. On one of the fi rst nights of his Night Train tour, Aldean sold out Madison Square Garden and was feeling prett y good about himself unti l he saw a banner proclaiming that Sir Elton John has sold out 62 shows there. Although Aldean is

really trying to make a name for himself in country music, he isn’t looking to be like fellow country singer Blake Shelton, currently starring on The Voice, and using television to move up the ladder. Although it may be for some people, it is not something Jason says he’ll ever do. In a quote from The Tennessean, Aldean says, “I’d be miserable if I wasn’t out on the road playing my shows.” Jason really likes pushing himself in every way he can, he’s quoted in several arti cles, as well as on his offi cial website, as saying “I’ve always kind of felt like I had something to prove. It’s what keeps me hungry.” That hunger drives Aldean towards the high-intensity, live show that fans will see on this year’s Night Train tour. Aldean has never been one to open up much about his personal life, but he did tell

Country Weekly what it was like to be recognized everywhere he goes and protecti ng his wife and two young girls from crazed fans. He says that being famous has taken a toll on his family and made him a more-than-normal, overly-protecti ve dad and husband. “I don’t want to sound like I’m bitching about [fame]. It’s a good problem to have,” Jason told Country Weekly.Jason Aldean really hit pay-dirt in the country music scene with his 2009 album Wide Open and the release of “Big Green Tractor,” which debuted at number 48 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs. It spent four weeks at number one. According to Aldean’s offi cial website, Jason has sold more than 7 million records, had ten number one songs and this 2011 album My Kinda Party was the top-selling country album of the year. Jason enjoys singing songs to his fans that they can relate to, songs about heartbreak, love and fi nding the right girl, but what a lot of fans may not know is that while they can relate to Aldean’s songs, they cannot relate to Aldean himself, since the words he sings are not his own. Jason only co-wrote three songs for his self-ti tled, debut album, and since then has been content to let Nashville’s best songwriters do the rest, he told Taste of Country. He says he sti ll writes whenever he is on the road, but is the most criti cal of his own writi ng, and therefore he is the fi rst to refuse to record his own music. Music lovers become so interested in fi nding bands who write words that he or she can relate to; fi nding out that your favorite singer does not write his or her own music is like an arrow to the heart—it’s musical heartbreak. Although, Aldean may not write his own music, at least he has a couple things going for him: he has a sexy voice, and he certainly knows a hit song when he hears it! —Kristi na Smith

The lead single off the band’s latest release, Tornado, it hit number one last year and helped the album reach gold status aft er just a few months. We’ll be lucky enough to catch the band at the height of its popularity when the

“Tornado Tour” blows through Evansville with special guest David Nail on April 20 at the Victory Theatre. LBT members Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook and Phillip Sweet fi rst got together in 1998 through a shared love of vocal harmonies. With Sweet and Westbrook on guitar and all four members trading lead vocals, the band’s sound quickly took shape. Unfortunately, LBT’s career didn’t take off nearly as fast. Aft er changing record labels several ti mes, they fi nally achieved chart success with the 2005 album, The Road to Here. It produced two top-ten singles and sold over a million copies. Five years later, the band hit the top-ten again with the single “Litt le White Church” off 2010’s The Reason Why. Signed to yet another new label, LBT toured heavily in support of the album and started writi ng songs for last year’s Tornado – fast on its way to becoming the biggest seller of the band’s long career. Despite releasing just two albums so far, special guest David Nail is already a star in his own right. Two monster hits – “Red Light” and “Let It Rain” – have made the golden-voiced Missouri nati ve a regular presence on the country charts. Sti ll, he remains refreshingly down-to-earth. “It sounds like a cliché, but I was born with a gift , I believe, and not many other gift s,” Nail

After 15 years of hard work, country act Little Big Town (LBT) received some long-overdue recognition at the recent Grammy Awards, taking home the prize

for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for the song �Pontoon.�

says with tongue fi rmly in cheek. “So, I was either going to pursue music and have a chance at being successful or try my hand at something that I had no talent for.” Success in the music business was not as simple as it initi ally seemed though, a fact that he puts down to youth. “I came to Nashville from a small town in 2002 and got a deal prett y easily. I thought the hard part was over. But I think it was prett y obvious to the people that had invested in me

that I wasn’t quite ready,” Nail explains. “It took me a while to fi gure out what had just happened – it was such a blur.

Looking back now, it’s easy to see that I wasn’t mentally prepared.” It would take seven years before Nail offi cially released his debut album, I’m About to Come Alive, but the wait was clearly worth it. “Red Light,” the second single off the album, was a career-making hit that

conti nues to aff ect fans emoti onally. “Even today, people come up to me and tell me how much

they love that song and how much it means to them,” Nail says. But the

best was yet to come. “Let It Rain” off 2011’s The Sound of a Million Dreams went all the way to the top of the country charts and the video has racked up millions of views on Youtube. In July of last year, Nail released a three-song digital-only EP ti tled 1979 that features a sterling cover of Adele’s number one smash, “Someone Like You.” He is absolutely thrilled to be opening for LBT and can’t wait

to fi nish work on his upcoming third album.

I was driving down the east side of town the other day and noti ced something. Within a mile in any directi on, I saw a slew of billboards from local competi tors with mortgage rates/terms on them. The fi ne print at the bott om of the ads are so long there

is never enough ti me to read it while you are waiti ng at a stoplight or actually driving down the road. The same can be said about internet lenders and their commercials also. Unless you were to rewind your DVR, and pause it directly on the screen that shows the fi ne print, you most likely will miss all the criti cal details of what the off er really consists of.

That being said, its encouraged to shop for mortgage rates and products however, there are some things that you should consider when you start to look for possible fi nancing opti ons for your new home purchase or refi nance of an existi ng loan you have:

• Loan rates are much like gas prices…..they can go up and down daily. If I or another lender give you a quote on a parti cular day, be cauti ous that the rate can change the next day.

• Make sure you are comparing “apples to apples” when it comes to mortgage products.

• Credit score and down payment are a huge factor in determining important factors like your mortgage rate.

• Loan term is also very important. In most cases a 15 year note will have a lower rate than what the same loan on a 30 year term is.

By understanding these factors for your loan, you will bett er understand the “fi ne print” and be able to disti nguish the diff erence between one quote and another.—Clint Bender NMLS license #17313.

On April 6th and 7th at the Victory Theatre, Sal Viviano (Sinatra), Nat Chandler (Marti n) and Eric Jordan Young (Davis, Jr.) – all talented veterans of Broadway – will recreate the sights and sounds of those remarkable performances. Though the original “Rat Pack” performed over 50 years ago, you will swear that they are alive and well, and more entertaining than

ever. Viviano was kind enough to speak with News4U about the upcoming shows and his journey to Broadway.

News4U (N4U): You started out as a singer opening for comedians – what was that experience like?Sal Viviano (SV): I was just a teenager at the ti me working summers as an athleti c director at a family resort. At night, they had entertainment and once they found out I could sing, I was asked to open for the comedians. So, my repertoire expanded very quickly – there was a full band, and they wrote out charts for me. It was a fantasti c way to learn the Great American Songbook as well as the nightclub business .I learned all about “ti ming” and how to tell a joke. From there, I started opening for comedians in Chicago, St. Louis, New York – working with legends like Bob Hope and George Goebel.

N4U: When did you fi rst become aware of Sinatra?SV: My parents were big opera fans, and they both sang professionally. The only pop music we listened to was Mario Lanza and Robert Goulet – there were no Sinatra albums in the house. I didn’t really know his repertoire that well unti l about 10 or 12 years ago when I started performing concerts of Broadway standards. I realized that Sinatra had recorded just about every great song writt en during his era, and that his style really suited my voice.

N4U: Was your introducti on to Broadway everything you imagined it would be?SV: It was, and it wasn’t. I happened to be in New York at the ti me that auditi ons for the Three Musketeers were being held. I tried out and ended up getti ng fl own back

seven ti mes for call-backs. I thought, ‘now I know why Broadway shows are so expensive (laughs)!’ But it’s a business, and talent wins out. There’s not a lot of ti me wasted on

people who aren’t willing to work hard.

N4U: Did you ever have the opportunity to meet the “Rat Pack?”SV: I actually met Sammy and Dean on diff erent occasions but never did meet Frank,

unfortunately. The chemistry and camaraderie between the three of them and their appreciati on for each other is what made their performances – especially the Sands

Hotel shows – so special. Those guys were true entertainers, and to walk in their shoes for a few hours during a night is a tremendous thrill. I think that fact is

evident in the show that we’ll be doing in Evansville. I’m a huge fan of both Nat and Eric – they’re both great guys. We all bring a long history to it

from various backgrounds that make for a wonderful evening and a lot of laughs. —Thomas Ellis

Legends of the stage and screen, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. were famously known as members of the �Rat Pack,� a group of New York friends that hung out in the 1950�'s and 60�'s. Undeniably brilliant on their own, together they created pure magic � an unparalleled mix of comedy

and song that has never aged. The trio�s shows at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas while on location filming the original Ocean�'s 11 are treasured by �Rat Pack� fans to this day.

JASON WATSON FOOD CRITIC

“CKB” is not only what I’ve been waiti ng for, it’s what we all have been waiti ng for. I entered a very casual dining establishment and was greeted with gourmet cuisine that had fl avor, character and wonderful eye appeal. This was country walls with New York taste! First, a bib salad topped with shaved Bleu Cheese (who does that) had my taste buds sati sfi ed. Then an abundance of roasted Brussel Sprouts, seasoned with soy and garlic and another ingredient for you to fi gure out. Oh man, they were tasty! Next thing I knew, here come the Scallops. Perfectly seared and the Sweet Corn Truffl e Puree was simply the grandest of sauces. Aft er, the New Orleans-Style Shrimp hit me with a bite of salt and sweet. All and all, everything was exactly what it was meant to be, wonderfully delicious. Please, I beg, please try the Kobe Beef Hot Dog and their specialty cocktails. Finally, a gastro pub that we can all enjoy and aff ord! CKB also off ers you small-batch menu features, but when they are gone, they are gone. On a fi nal note, if you are a bourbon fan, the smoked Woodford Reserve (I like to drink my dessert) was the best dessert ever!

This review is on the Kipplee Dip, but I can’t remember the last ti me I only ordered one thing at a restaurant. For starters, your always fun bar food, fried mushrooms and onion rings. Let me

say, these may just be some of the best onion rings around! I love them and you will too. Dip them in ketchup, dip them in

horseradish, for gosh sakes dip them in your freaking beer, they are fantasti c. As far as the mushrooms go, really, you serve them

hot and they are always tasty, and when you put some cocktail sauce on the table, I’m not going be upset. So anyway, let’s get to

the dip, shall we. This was another tasty morsel of cuisine. The sandwich approached me, topped with grilled red and green bell peppers and smothered in provolone. Shaved beef underneath, surrounded by a toasty bun. You add a litt le au-jus and you have

just made me a prett y happy man. This sandwich was a solid additi on to the always tasty menu at an always friendly and well

established, home-town favorite.


COOKING SPOTLIGHT

Salad WorldFresh Greens for Spring at

There’s no shortage of franchise restaurants in the area, but there are very few that actually originated here. One shining example of a locally-owned business with plans to move into other markets is Salad

World. Initi ally located on the East side, Salad World has since expanded to the North side, West side, Downtown and Newburgh. And considering the success of these locati ons, the sky is the limit. “We want to try and go to as many places as we can – Indianapolis, St. Louis, Nashville, all the surrounding markets,” explains Ryan Matt , owner of the West side and Downtown locati ons. “But we want to stay Evansville-based as far as the corporate structure goes.” Ryan and his brother Andy have been involved with Salad World since the beginning. “We started out working for the East side store four years ago. The original owner was looking to franchise out, so we opened the West side locati on around that ti me and then the Downtown locati on a few months ago.” While Salad World’s local roots set it apart from the majority of franchise restaurants in the area, the food is the real diff erence. “Our philosophy is that we cook everything made-to-order,” says Matt . “All of the salads are prepared fresh – we only use Romaine lett uce. We slice all of our own meats and always use the best ingredients possible for all of our meals.” And now that spring has fi nally arrived, this fresh, light, healthy approach to food is the perfect anti dote to any lingering winter doldrums. Sti ll, Matt stresses that the nutriti onal value of the Salad World menu doesn’t translate to boring, tasteless food. “Our food is absolutely delicious,” he says. “Some of my favorites are the salmon asparagus, pecan chicken, Mandarin chicken, chef’s club and Greek salads. But we do want people to know that Salad World has so much more to off er. We have amazing, fresh wraps, pitas, sandwiches, homemade soups and potatoes, too.” Another aspect of Salad World that Matt wants to promote is catering. “Especially for employers that are looking for newer, healthier ways to feed their workers, we off er a nice alternati ve to the usual pizza and hamburger opti ons,” he says. “Just like in our restaurants, we do the catering to order. In fact, we have catered for the Nati onal Guard a few ti mes – almost 300 people – so we can handle big orders.”

Visit Salad World at these locati ons: 3311 North Green River Road, 4951 West Lloyd Expressway, 601 East Boonville Harmony Highway, 200 Main Street and coming soon to Newburgh.

As Matt conti nues to push for expansion of Salad World into other markets, he is quick to point out the ripple eff ect the franchise’s success will have locally. “Since we’re based here in Evansville, any expansion that we do is going to help this city in some way – the more successful a business here becomes, the more it refl ects positi vely on the community,” he explains. And he is also quick to point out the invaluable assistance he has received along the way. “My mom and dad – Greg and Diane Matt – have done a lot of work for the restaurant and been a huge help to me. I can’t thank them enough.” —Thomas Ellis

What�'s Cookin�‘

With 48 years of cooking experience under his belt, it is more than fair to say the jolly Earl McNary of Mr. Earl’s Soul Food Joint knows

how to please through culinary means. Most every customer that strolls into the small, old but cozy building on Riverside is greeted warmly by Mr. Earl himself and wrapped in a soothing blanket of delicious scents from the kitchen. Mr. Earl’s country cooking with a soulful note has been part of the community since 1984 when he opened the very fi rst (of fi ve or six he says) Mr. Earl’s Soul Food Joint. Perhaps, Mr. Earl’s most marked culinary experience is supervising a meal for President John F. Kennedy and 6,000 other guests while in the military. He plans on opening another restaurant soon on Lincoln Avenue to do his part to help excite the stagnancy of culture in Evansville’s black community. Entering the ‘joint’ on Riverside, I immediately noti ced the eclecti c but simple décor, family photos, senti mental knick-knacks, brightly-colored tablecloths decked out with white fl owers, but most importantly, the feeling of comfort. It was warm and welcoming like my grandmother’s dining room. When Mr. Earl was ready to serve for the day he stacked a rectangular plate for me with most every off ering of the day. Aft er grabbing utensils and a beverage, I promptly dug into the Mac & Cheese because it caught my eye with its deep yellowish, orange hue. It was packed with fl avor. The amount of cheese was perfectly balanced, not too rich and it held a slight spiciness that really upped the ante. This side is a great way to relive some childhood memories. Next I tried the Greens, they were a great mix of earthy and savory tones with a ti ny bit of spice that marinated on the palate and faded into a very pleasant aft ertaste. Right next to

Mr. Earl'�s Soul Food Joint1113 Riverside Drive, Evansville, IN 47713812-774-5013

the Greens was the Cabbage. The cabbage was a bit crunchier than the Greens and packed a more powerful earthy fl avor. It was a bit of an acquired taste and texture at fi rst but then a subtle spiciness came out of the blue and made it interesti ng. Then I moved to the secti on of my tray where Mr. Earl had placed all the meats he had prepared for the day. I tried the Pepper Steak fi rst; it was incredibly tender and savory. Next was the Meatloaf. This dish is the defi niti on of comfort food. It was rich and savory, defi nitely not a light dish but intensely fl avorful. I could pick out each fl avor too, the tangy tomato sauce, the onions and the tender, savory beef. Aft er the Meatloaf, I tried my personal favorite: the Pork Cutlet. The mild fl avor of the pork was catapulted by the light, fl aky but savory breading, and then a hint of sweetness brought it around full circle. Lastly, I dove into a secti on of Mr. Earl’s Barbeque Ribs. They were smoky and tender, a perfect texture with an earthy element off set by the sweetness of the sauce. This dish is a fl avor carnival. I feel I have to menti on the crown jewel of Mr. Earl’s desserts: the Chess Pie. It is velvety in texture and holds a nutt y sweetness with tones of caramel and toff ee. It is extremely fl avorful but also fairly light. Though I had a full lunch experience at Mr. Earl’s, there are many more soul-sati sfying dishes in his repertoire. So stop by to enjoy simple, great-tasing food and to say hello! —Nick Durcholz

CKB (Commonwealth Kitchen & Bar) is a gastro-pub located in Henderson, KY. By defi niti on, a gastro-pub is a word to describe a bar that serves high-quality food. The building at 108 2nd Street that houses CKB is the closest building to the river and was built

in the late 1800’s. There you will fi nd an industrial vibe with a cozy, big city feel. The food is served on small plates and sharing plates with the diners in your party is encouraged. Some typical fare includes Brussel sprouts (CKB will make a believer out of people claiming to not like them), roasted caulifl ower, Wagu beef, truffl e ravioli over corn roasted truffl e purée, bib lett uce salad and chocolate ravioli for dessert. They also off er larger plate opti ons as well as kid friendly fare. CKB is co-owned by Chef Jayson Munoz and Henderson nati ve Dr. Mark Logan. Munoz is originally from Glenwood Springs, CO, but was raised in St. Louis. Though not a classically trained chef, Munoz has worked for Macaroni Grill and is also the current owner of Kanpai Sushi Asian Bistro in Evansville. Both Munoz and Logan enjoy traveling and the love of food. Munoz shares, “We wanted to open a kind place where we would eat and seek out when we are traveling.” He also shares, “I love trying new things, cooking new things and letti ng

Call 270-212-2133 for more informati on. CKB is located at 108 2nd Street in Henderson and is open

daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

people try new things. I look at it like a tour guide. When you are at CKB, I get to guide you through your meal and dining experience. I love seeing people’s faces when they try new things. I keep my passion because I like trying new things and love sharing them.” CKB aims to give its patrons a comfortable, casual and inviti ng environment. The building is more than 100 years old and boasts twelve-and-a-half-foot ti n ceilings as well as exposed brick walls giving it an industrial, early Amercian feel. Repurposed and reclaimed items are also common throughout the restaurant. From the anti que bookshelf from a Nashville fl ea market used as the back bar, to the 1930’s French Tolix stools used as bar stools, the venue brings new meaning to the phrase ‘an eye for detail.’ They have also worked to ti e in other decorati ve items with the cultural and historic feel of Henderson County. In terms of food, Munoz’s favorite dish at CKB

is the New Orleans shrimp. He shares, “We had a bone marrow feature last weekend. No one for 90 miles does bone morrow. Foodies will love us!” The fi ne dining atmosphere of CKB also includes a bar with around 50 craft beers, specialty mixed cocktails and generally fi ve to six diff erent red wines. CKB additi onally smokes its own Woodford Reserve Bourbon. For the lunch crowd, CKB off ers an express lunch that includes a drink and has over 140 diff erent combinati ons that you can choose from. For dinner, Munoz says, “Come and sit down to order a few small plates and experience some new things with the people you enjoy. [We’re] only 12 minutes from the east-side of Evansville and even closer from downtown. You will be glad you came.” Munoz also adds, “The food is way cool and am so excited to share it.” —Nikki Davis

Combining two centuries of architectural designs and home furnishings, historic Newburgh,

Indiana will host the 15th annual Homes of Note House Tour. Five residents near the Ohio River will graciously open their doors to visitors on Saturday, April 20 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Exterior and interior décor may vary but the one thing all homes have in common is their uniqueness and a beautiful panoramic view of the Ohio River. A condo in the former Methodist Episcopal Church boasts a stained glass window and a winding staircase. Build in 1840 with an 1890 addition, a cedar clapboard home has a piano once owned by actor Vincent Price. Enter one residence from the street or through the garden with both affording views of the Ohio. In an ultra-modern home, the owners display a variety of artifacts and a Star Wars collection. The owner’s artistry is displayed on white walls in a home that is entered through the back door as the front faces the river. A free shuttle will run between the Newburgh Elementary School and downtown. —Julie Mallory

Pick up your guitars and I will make you fi shers of men! The Passion 2013 Tour embodies the greatest

calling of mankind, the Good Word! Fresh from a crowd of 60,000 in the Georgia Dome, the movement renews in conti nued celebrati on of its recent album release, Passion: Let the Future Begin Tour. Sound big? It is. At the ti me of this arti cle the album sits at #8 in the world on iTunes Charts. Pastor Louie Giglio of Passion City Church in Atlanta kindled the Passion movement back in 1997. According to Giglio, the cornerstone of their purpose is, “...uniti ng students in worship and prayer for spiritual awakening in this generati on.” By 2008, Passion spread from Texas to Tennessee, California to Boston, then London to Sydney and even Paris to Hong Kong. Sound too big for CFC in Evansville? It’s not. Singer/Songwriter Kristi an Stanfi ll leads the worship band playing at CFC, whose album reached #64 on Billboard 200. Don’t be discouraged if you are not a student. NEWS4U interviewed Assistant Pastor Brad Jones, who will lead the upcoming, amazing night of worship. Brad exclaims, “The venue is open to all ages for the fi rst ti me ever!” Don’t dwindle, be kindled.

By the time a child is born, usually 20 primary (baby teeth) have formed inside the

gums. Typically the front two lower and from two upper teeth begin to appear between six and twelve months. Most kids have 20 primary teeth by the time they reach age three. Tooth decay (cavities) can occur as soon as the teeth erupt and appear in a baby’s mouth. A misconception among some parents is to not be concerned about decay in baby teeth since they will be replaced. But the fact is decay in primary (baby) teeth may damage the permanent teeth. The American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommend a child’s first dental visit occur within six months after the baby’s first tooth appears. When a child reaches toddler age, it is a good time to have the dentist check for habits, such as thumb sucking, that may cause problems in a child’s mouth as they grow and their teeth form. Another common situation is when fruit juice given to the child in a bottle or sippy cup. Sugar from the juice stays on the primary teeth and forms an acid which causes tooth decay. —Dr. J. Alex Rang

Try the following ti ps: Schedule fi rst appointment between the arrival of the fi rst

baby tooth and the child’s fi rst birthday, make sure the child is well-rested for the

appointment, don’t pass anxiety to the child, reassure the child the denti st will help them

and don’t use bribery or punishment.

Steven Wargel, 38, is the arti st and owner of CHZL Custom Artwork & Design, a local studio in Evansville that creates signs, corn-hole boards and traditi onal artwork. Wargel, aft er taking some graphic design courses at Ivy Tech, decided to

start his own sign shop creati ng signs and vinyl decals. Through his shop, he also works with silk screen and heat transfer techniques on clothing and promoti onal items. At CHZL, Wargel is also developing his skills in painti ng, graphic, logo and interior design. He has also worked on various projects, including wall murals, commercial and residenti al building painti ng, custom motorcycle painti ng and corn-hole boards. His custom corn-hole boards are individually designed to suit the needs of his clientele, with opti ons such as UV protectant varnish and LED lighti ng. Wargel sees opportuniti es to be creati ve on a daily basis and strives to help people appreciate art and the work that he does.

News4U (N4U): When did you decide you wanted to be an arti st and what types of art do you work with?Steven Wargel (SW): When I was a child, I was always drawing, making and modify things and was told I had a wild imaginati on. All through grade school and high school, I was in art classes. Aft er high school, I stopped, but I’m not sure why. In 2011, I att ended Ivy Tech for two semesters for graphic design. A drawing for visualizati on class got me back into art. In November 2011, I started CHZL. I do acrylic painti ngs, both detailed and abstract. I also work with graphic design, drawing and charcoals.

Steven’s work can be viewed at the Arts Council of Southern Indiana. He also has

some painti ngs there that can be purchased. To obtain more informati on about Steven and

his work, check out his Facebook page atwww.facebook.com/pages/CHZL-Custom-

Artwork-Design/253353514724064.

N4U: You create corn-hole boards, is that a personal hobby for you? How big is the market for customized sets?SW: The corn-hole boards just happened. A guy I went to high school with contacted me on Facebook asking what I would charge to do a design on his boards. I painted them, and aft er I posted the pictures on Facebook, other people contacted me about sets. Each set I have done, I made changes to make them bett er. Now my boards are artwork.

N4U: Who would you say is your primary infl uence in the art world?SW: I’m not sure who I would say is my primary infl uence. I appreciate all art and all the diff erent styles of arti sts.

N4U: Do you have any upcoming, local exhibiti ons? If so, when and where will they be?SW: I do not have any upcoming exhibiti ons that I can think of. I am going to enter some local shows and plan to parti cipate in Funk in the City this year.

N4U: Do you have any upcoming projects you’re really excited about?SW: Yes, I am working on designs for vehicle decals and signs for Whitledge Tree Service and Stump Removal, LLC. It’s going to be a really cool, fun project. —Brad Phillips


on the road to recovery. “I’m doing really well,” he says with obvious relief. “I’ve received a clean bill of health with all my scans lately, so hopefully, I’ve whipped this thing and I can get it all behind me.” Not all the ti me spent fi ghti ng cancer was lost, though. Tapp and Mullins wrote a whole new batch of songs, and the previous recordings were released as the album A Cold Wet Night and a Howling Wind which charted in the top 20 Amazon blues chart for over fi ve months. A new album is scheduled to be recorded soon, and the duo is on the verge of a publishing deal that should open even more doors in the music industry. “We’ve spent fi ve years trying not to be rock stars,” says Tapp, “but we’re going to hit it as hard as we can now. We love to work, and we sti ll have an absolute blast playing together.” —Thomas Ellis

Over the last decade, the sight of just two musicians on stage – typically a drummer and guitarist – has become commonplace. Acts like the White Stripes and the

Black Keys have changed the percepti on of what consti tutes a ‘band’ and helped make it possible to circumvent the normal route to a record deal. With local roots and a devoted fan base in Nashville, musicians Chris Tapp and Brian Mullins – bett er known as the Cold Stares – are heading down that back road. Tapp and Mullins formed the Cold Stares back in 2008 aft er a period of mutual musical burn-out. As Tapp tells it, the initi al idea was simply to get together and ‘jam.’ “We had no inclinati on that we were going to do anything with the material or play out,” he explains. That all changed with a well-received show at the Duck Inn. “The response was immediate – completely the opposite of the acousti c shows I had been playing on my own. People were really listening to us,” says Tapp. Between Mullins’ explosive drumming and Tapp’s wall-of-sound guitar (conjured from a complex four- output system that allows him to handle lead, rhythm and bass – seemingly all at once), the duo kicked up a major musical storm that left audience members scouring the stage for hidden members. Their Black Crowes-meets-Black Sabbath approach laid waste to expectati ons. “People always think we’re going to be like Simon and Garfunkel,” laughs Tapp, “unti l everything kicks in, and the amps vibrate our drinks right off the top.” The big break for the Cold Stares came in 2010 when Tapp and Mullins entered a batt le of the bands at the Hard Rock Café in Nashville and won, beati ng out a long list of talented area bands and ulti mately placing second nati onally. Tapp remains typically humble about the experience. “We REALLY had no idea we were going to win, because all of the bands in the fi nals we’re so good,” he says. Humility aside, the recogniti on resulted in numerous interview requests and television opportuniti es, including an appearance on Fox TV in Nashville. The logical next step was to record an album and sign to a label; several companies expressed interest including Capitol and Hollywood Records. But aft er cutti ng a slew of blistering tracks in just two days and weighing all of the contract opti ons, Tapp received some disturbing medical news: he had skin cancer. All band acti vity was shelved for 12 months as Tapp endured chemotherapy treatments and an uncertain future. Thankfully, he now appears to be

Christy Moore • 5This brew is certainly an erupti on of fl avor. Nice copper, amber hue as it hits the glass. This is an amazing intermingling of taste and smoothness. Roasty caramel malt and spicy herbal hops. One of the best beers I have had in a long ti me, from a terrifi c brewery, I look forward to seeing more great things from these Islanders.

Jabez Marti nez • 4This is a clear, amber beer with a hoppy aroma. The hops fl avor was there but it also had smooth, malt fl avor. I could also detect some fruit fl avors and also some spices. It had prett y good carbonati on and overall a prett y good beer.

Nick D • 4This island beer sports a slightly cloudy but vivid, auburn hue. The olfactory side of it is light, fl owery and clean with the hops present in the background. A very balanced scent. The fi rst taste is surprisingly earthy but smooth, again the hops make themselves know but in the most delicate and balanced of ways. This brew manages substanti al fl avor and a beauti fully smooth texture at the same ti me. It is very capable of off ering ulti mate spring refreshment.

Christy Moore • 4The pour has a really sunny dispositi on, very transparent bright yellow. The nose is extremely grainy which follows through with the taste, complemented with a citrus sweetness. Litt le mild on the alcohol level, but I could see it as a decent brew when the sun is beati ng down. But like they say “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.”

Jabez Marti nez • 4.5This is a bright, golden beer with a slight haze to it. I could smell some malt and grains with a slight scent of citrus. It has a nice, light grainy fl avor with a bit of lemon. This is a great summer beer because it was very crisp, somewhat light and refreshing to drink aft er mowing the lawn.

Nick D • 3.5The color of this brew is liquid gold, a true testament to the season it is named aft er. The scent is a subtle yet sharp malt, the barley is refi ned and lulls like a hundred piece orchestra. The fi rst pull really showcases the barley but aft er another two sips the barley collapses upon itself and only a bitt erness and a very mild malt remain. As a whole this beer is smooth and refreshing as a summer brew should be, it makes a great fi rst impression but fi nishes slightly above average.

Christy Moore • 3.5A fat head is not usually a nickname any would saddle ones self with. I can only imagine that this large cranium would be hoisted up as a challis between the shoulders of an ego that could not be contained in the skull alone, left to overfl ow its ingredients rich with the aroma and taste of hops and grapefruit. The nose is very citrus-pine, with a golden straw hue to the pour and very sharp when it hits the tongue.

Jabez Marti nez • 3.5This is a clear, amber beer with a strong citrus aroma. I could smell some caramel malt but not much. It did have an abundance of strong hop fl avors as IPA’s do, matched with the heavy bitt erness. I would consider this the average IPA but it does have 7.5 % ABV, so that made it a litt le more interesti ng.

Nick D • 4The color of this beer is a translucent amber with a brown ti nge. As with most every IPA it has a noti ceable funk to it but the hops are more moderate as opposed to heavy and overwhelming. The fi rst swill however, packs more of aq punch than I was expecti ng. It is bold but not unpleasant. It is a no frills IPA, proud of what it is and it is executed well. The hops come out strong but fi nish smooth. An IPA lover would really enjoy this one.

Christy Moore • 4This ale has a very dark pour as its coff ee and chocolate counterparts. The beans have a rather dominant taste. The fl avors converge with an array of sweet bitt erness and warmth. At 10% ALC/VOL on the Richter scales. It doesn’t hit hard or heavy but it will sneak up on you, like that dark brown river in Willie Wonka’s factory may take you on a intoxicati ng strange journey, you may or not be ready for.

Jabez Marti nez • 5Yes Jeremy, I just gave out my fi rst 5. I am a great lover of the dark beers. This is a black

Six Point Craft Ale 3Beans

beer with a sweet coff ee and chocolate fl avoring. It was close to being an Imperial Stout but just a bit on the lighter side. It also had 10% ABV which I didn’t expect. Usually, when beers get to that range the alcohol mutes or modifi es the fl avors, not with this one. I have become a fan of Six Point recently and this one is great.

Nick D • 4.5This brew boasts a sultry, deep brown hue with a moderate cloudiness. The smell of this beer is like wrapping yourself in bed sheets straight out of the dryer, ulti mately comforti ng. The fi rst taste comes off a bit strong, the coff ee fl avor knocks you off your feet but gets progressively tolerable; the chocolate comes in with a slight sweetness to balance the bitt erness of the coff ee. This is an ideal dark brew, bold and smooth.

•During the European Middle Ages and the Renaissance, beer was oft en a nutriti onal necessity and was someti mes used in a medicinal setti ng. It could be fl avored with almost anything, from the bark of fi r trees to fresh eggs and thyme. Everyone drank beer, including children.

•President Theodore Roosevelt took more than 500 gallons of beer with him on an African safari. Must have been thirsty work.

•Most saloons were owned by the breweries by the 1900s. The bartenders earned $10 to $15 per week, with Sunday bringing in the most business.

•There is an Egypti an beer, called bousa, that is brewed from millet and has been a favorite drink of many for over 3,000 years. Modern Ethiopia has a version made from wheat. It has been hypothesized that this might have been the origin for the word “booze.” Other spellings used are boza, bouza, and booza. Take your pick.

April 1-30 – Amy Brier/ RoliqueriesCarved directly in stone, my work combines traditi onal carving techniques with contemporary art ideas such as public interacti on and appropriati on. While my main means of producti on is carving, I do not limit my eff orts to a single “signature” medium. Instead, I move between various media such as glass, stone, paper, metal and sand. My art is unique on many levels. For example, in the Roliquery series, every image carved is either in the negative, which when printed becomes positi ve, or vice versa. The carved stone is a tool in the creati on of an image, rather than being simply a singular art object; it impresses the fl uid and fugiti ve sand with an image from the fi xed and permanent stone. By interacti ng with my carvings people are moved from passive consumpti on of art as commodity to an acti ve contemplati on of contemporary art with a playful touch.

Formed in 1999 in Daytona Beach, Fla. by youth pastor Mark Hall, Casti ng Crowns is out on the road promoti ng The Acousti c Sessions: Volume One. The album puts a fresh spin on many of the band’s biggest hits and also

includes two new tracks to hold fans over. In additi on to lead vocalist Hall, the current line-up of Casti ng Crowns also features drummer Brian Scoggin, bassist Chris Huff man, keyboardist Megan Garrett , violinist Melodee DeVevo and guitarists Juan DeVevo and Josh Mix. It’s an eclecti c group of musicians (the majority of which have been playing together for nearly 15 years) that really gels in a live setti ng and always delivers an uplift ing show. The band released its self-ti tled debut album in 2003 aft er being signed to Sawyer Brown lead singer Mark Miller’s label, Beach Street Records. Casti ng Crowns quickly took off and raced up the Christi an music charts, spawning several enormous hits, including “Voice of Truth” which spent an astounding 14 weeks at number one. Undaunted by the prospect of following up a record-breaking debut, the band next released Lifesong in 2006. It featured no less than three career-defi ning singles: “Lifesong,” “Praise You in this Storm” and “Does Anybody Hear Her?” The album earned Casti ng Crowns a Grammy and widened the band’s fan base beyond the Christi an music market – so much so that 2007’s The Altar and the Door debuted at number two on the Billboard Top 200. Even more impressive, the single “East to West” shatt ered the band’s previous record of 14 weeks at the top of the Christi an music charts by claiming the top spot for a near-ridiculous 19 weeks. Casti ng Crowns released two more albums: 2009’s Unti l the Whole World Hears and 2011’s Come to the Well, which conti nued the band’s dominati on of the Christi an music charts and achieved further crossover success. Now Hall and the gang hope to maintain the Midas touch with The Acousti c Sessions. —Thomas Ellis

A truly great American actor with an enduring career spanning seven decades,

Hal Holbrook will take to the Centre stage on April 5th to reprise his beloved Mark Twain Tonight! one-man show. Remarkably, Holbrook fi rst performed solo as Twain back in 1954 at Lock Haven State Teachers College. Television legend Ed Sullivan took notice and later featured the actor on his show, giving Holbrook invaluable nati onal exposure. Soon, he was performing Mark Twain Tonight! Off-Broadway. The success of that producti on led to a run on Broadway in 1966 that has conti nued intermitt ently ever since. While Holbrook may be best known for his solo Twain shows, he has also appeared in many highly acclaimed fi lms including All the President’s Men, Into the Wild, Water for Elephants and the recent Spielberg-directed Lincoln. His numerous television roles include a CBS-produced Mark Twain Tonight! (which earned him an Emmy), North and South and a sti nt on the popular FX series Sons of Anarchy. Few actors have been able to sustain such an impressive career arc as Holbrook. Certainly, his long-running, one-man Mark Twain show is a testament to his talent. These performances have been seen the world over by people from all backgrounds, all of whom delight in Holbrook’s wry, comedic depicti on of one of America’s most revered writers. —Thomas Ellis

April 12OblivionUniversal Studios

Earth, 2073. Sixty years ago (in 2013), a savage alien race known as “Scavs” nearly destroyed humanity. Salvation forced us to evacuate Earth’s entire population. All that remain are some security drones that “mop up” hostile life forms, a repairman named Jack Harper, and a dark, unfathomable secret that left untold, causes Earth to fade into mere memory. Tom Cruise snagged the role of Jack Harper, which was originally written for a younger actor. Morgan Freeman plays Malcolm Beech, a 102-year-old insurgent leader who captures Harper and opens his eyes to our planet’s secret, and to why it is being so easily forgotten. Andrea Riseborough (Shadow Dancer) lands the part of Victoria, Harper’s main squeeze and co-worker - that is until the crash landing of mysterious Julia, played by Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace). After Julia’s arrival, Jack’s memories unravel a different reality. Harper literally comes down from the clouds and plummets back onto (and into) our hellish Earth, where a journey of self-discovery ignites his passion not only for enigmatic Julia, but for his fellow mankind. Story creator Joseph Kosinski originally wrote and passed this script around Hollywood in graphic novel format while he was directing Tron: Legacy. The graphic novel was never completed, but the script sold anyway. Disney outbid competitors only to drop it later because of the PG-13 rating. Universal Studios picked it up and completed what they call, “...one of the most beautiful scripts we’ve ever come across,” courtesy of co-writers Karl Gajdusek (Trespass) and Michael Arndt (Brave).

April 12To the WonderRedbud Pictures

Oklahoma: a windy place known for its dust storms and tornadoes. What drives writer/director Terrence Malick (The Thin Red Line) to write about and film his new movie in the finger-pointing, red-dirt state? Ben Affleck lands the part of Neil. Neil is an American in Paris, where he meets and falls in love with single mother Marina (Olga Kurylenko, Quantum of Solace). They move to Oklahoma with her young daughter to start a new life. After the relationship fizzles, Neil reconnects with childhood sweetheart, Jane (Rachel McAdams, The Notebook). Marina befriends Father Quintana (Javier Bardem, No Country for Old Men), a struggling priest and fellow exile. What occurs after that is, well, the title speaks for itself. Christian Bale was originally cast as Neil but dropped out. Screening audiences at the Venice Film Festival laughed when Javier Bardem appeared on-screen. I suppose the thought of Anton Chigurh as a priest was a bit much for them? Judging from the trailers, the film’s imagery and score blend passionately enough to bring the little hairs up on the back of your neck. Better or worse, movie-goers will find this film less theater-y and more abstract and cinematic. In fact, Malick filmed without a script, a decision that risks being out of touch with the character’s feelings, and trying harder to reach out and touch the audience. Can Malick pull it off, or will the story be as lonesome and restless as an Oklahoma tumbleweed? —Ben Clark

Frost is marked by the Man in the Moon to become the next guardian, but before he can accept one of the most important jobs in the world, Frost must go on his own internal journey to discover how and why he became Jack Frost, and who he was in his life before.

The central story of the film is how the guardians fight to protect the children of the world from the Boogieman.

Breaking Dawn: Part 2Summit Entertainment

This month, the fifth and final film of the Twilight saga, Breaking Dawn: Part 2, was released onto DVD, which made more than just one generation of women happy.

The final film starts off with new vampire, Bella (played by Kristen Stewart), awakening to discover her heightened senses and new found strength and speed. Upon remembering the birth of her daughter Renesmee, Bella immediately asks to see her only to find that the two-day-old baby has a mouthful of teeth and communicates with others by touch. The Cullen’s, amazed by the baby’s growth search for information on how this half-vampire, half-human child can possibly exist.

However, when the Volturi, the leaders of all vampires, discover the

existence of the child it is assumed that an immortal child has been made, which is against vampire law. So, the Volturi set out for Forks, Washington, to destroy the child and her makers. When Alice (played by Ashley Greene) has a vision of the Volturi coming for them, the Cullen’s separate into pairs seeking out fellow vampires to stand behind them and bear witness to Rensemee’s mortal side. Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg had a surprise up her sleeve that threw the entire audience for a loop. Compared to how boring the final novel was Rosenberg and director Bill Condon knew just how to spice things up. However, the amazing special effects used to create the final battle do not excuse the fact that baby Renesmee was made purely of computer graphics. Not only did I about fall out of my chair laughing when the baby first came into view, but I do not know how anyone could have even thought she could pass as a realistic looking baby. (It is easier to believe Yoda exists.) Yes, I was a geek who bought this film the day it was released, but, in my honest opinion, if you have not seen the Twilight saga, I think it is about time.


Jacob JonesGood Timin’ in WaynetownElectric Western Records4/5Jacob Jones is old school. His musical style harkens back to the sound of the 50’s and 60’s – original rock and roll based on the 12 bar blues progression, doo-wop and even a hint of Dixieland.

And yet, Good Timin’ in Waynetown somehow manages to sound completely contemporary. The key to the album’s success is Jones’ voice – it possesses real character and strength, drawing the listener into the storytelling of each song. The ti tle track swings with the best of them and charms with lyrics like ‘We’re going to fi nd a litt le trouble tonight/we’re getti ng dressed up to get dressed down.’ “Lost on the Ohio” slows the tempo with a Fats Domino piano blues that sti ll lift s the spirits. Elsewhere, “Tennessee Highway” restores the pace with a Chuck Berry “Johnny B. Goode” riff and a bit of life in the fast lane, while “A Litt le More Time” is a classic working-man’s tale: ‘Well, darling, come on, it’s Friday night/I know everything is gonna be all right/with that new dress on, we’re goin’ out tonight.’ Good Timin’ in Waynetown never loses focus. All 10 songs hit their mark and then step out of the spotlight on cue.

Drowning PoolResilienceEleven Seven Music3 starsIt’s no coincidence that Drowning Pool’s new album is ti tled Resilience. Despite featuring a diff erent singer for nearly every release, the band has conti nued producing hits. It’s diffi cult to think of

another group that has changed ranks so oft en and sti ll retained a following. Perhaps, it’s the fans that are truly resilient – but their faith may be tested with the arrival of new front man Jason Moreno. Whether in full-on scream mode or att empti ng balladry, Moreno comes across more as a serviceable metal karaoke singer rather than a band leader. And as for the lyrics….’I’m gonna live my life like it’s Saturday night/sleep when I’m dead and buried/Sunday I’ll say I’m sorry’ from the Kiss-inspired lead single “Saturday Night” prett y much says it all. To be fair though, Drowning Pool is appreciated more for the force of the music than the lyrical content, and Resilience contains several double-kick drum rockers like “Anyti me Anyplace,” “One Finger and a Fist” and “Life of Misery.” The band also gets emoti onal with the Alice in Chains-esque “Bleed with You,” “In Memory of” and “Skip to the End” – all competent metal anthems that just might tug at the heart strings enough to keep the fans invested.

SPOTLIGHTLOCAL BAND cd reviewsTellitron

ABOUT THE BAND: Tellitron is a primarily faceless, one-man band currently based in Evansville. Using sub-standard equipment, he writes and records music that confuses the average human. He is known to stare at the walls for hours at a time.

WHAT THEY COVER: Tellitron has an aversion to cover songs as he � nds it di� cult to play them all the way through without a mistake. Therefore, he sticks to original material that he only occasionally du� s. Admittedly, his de� nition of “occasionally” is very loose.

THEIR INFLUENCES: Tellitron is a huge fan of the musical period from about 1976-1983 – bands such as Devo, Killing Joke, The Church, Joy Division and Wall of Voodoo, just to name a few.

WHERE YOU CAN CATCH THEIR PERFORMANCES: Tellitron has played in Seattle and Illinois over the last few years but has no Evansville shows scheduled at the moment. However, he can occasionally be spotted playing alongside local ace musician Tony Aiken at the Penny Lane co� ee house. In addition, he has two videos on Youtube for the tracks “Current Flow” and “Sensorimotor” – both made by his mentor, Andy “G-bot” Grzenia. A new album, Why the Long Face?, is near completion. It and any past releases may be requested at [email protected].


Frontier RuckusEternity of DimmingQuite Scienti fi c Records3.5 The only arti sti c challenge as daunti ng for a band as making a lucid, unpretenti ous concept album is making a cohesive, entertaining double album. And Fronti er Ruckus apparently did not get the ‘less is more’ memo; the boys were clearly too busy

recording. Indeed, Eternity of Dimming drones on for far too long – a fact that lessens the impact of some great songs along the way. As is the case with so many double albums, this one would have made for a fantasti c single album. It’s not that the songs aren’t well-writt en - to the contrary, the alt-country feel is expertly achieved with a sharp mix of banjo, acousti c/electric guitar and occasional strings. It’s just that it all sounds quite similar. The tempo rarely budges from a lazy, Neil Young Harvest-era beat, and the chord progressions – while quite pleasing – seem quite monotonous by the end. With all that in mind, there’s sti ll no denying the songwriti ng talent at work. “I Met Rebecca,” “Birthday Girl,” “Nightmares of Space” and “Careening Catalog Immemorial” are just a few examples of Fronti er Ruckus at its best – taking cues from the likes of Sufj an Stevens, Uncle Tupelo and the aforementi oned Neil Young. There’s a lot to like about Eternity of Dimming, but a litt le less would have been nice.

Super Water SympathyHydrogen ChildIn Music We Trust Records3.5 The members of Louisiana-based Super Water Sympathy (SWS) describe their sound as ‘water pop.’ It’s a fairly bold move to coin a new genre – as if the music you create is so unique it cannot be categorized within the context of current trends –

but SWS just about pulls it off . Regardless of the semanti cs, Hydrogen Child’s mix of chimes, strings, piano and jangling guitar is undiluted pop music with a strict focus on melody – and singer Ansley Hugh. Her vocals are a reassuring blend of today’s female stars like KT Tunstall, Sara Bareillis and even The Yeah Yeah Yeah’s Karen O. She never misses a note and - somewhat distracti ngly at ti mes - almost never stops singing. That’s a shame, because SWS’s ‘water pop’ is oft en even more engaging instrumentally, but that side of the band only occasionally receives the spotlight. The best tracks here are “Pipe Dream” and “Uh Oh!” The former sounds like a darker version of Katy Perry’s “Firework,” while the latt er bears more than a passing resemblance to Of Monsters and Men. “When You’re not Around” and “Magnolia Parade” feature stark, moody piano progressions that recall Adele’s smash “Someone Like You” and achieve nearly the same emoti onal impact. Call it what you will, SWS’s sound is infecti ous, plain and simple. —Thomas Ellis

SevendustBlack Out the Sun7Bros. RecordsLajon and the crew have returned, namely guitarist Clint Lowery who took a six year albescence from the band. The single “Decay”

totally resurrects the aggressive, sludgy jerk-rock spirit of the band. The vocals throughout are ti nged with melancholia but remain passionate and edgy. Most importantly, Sevendust returns to their melodic roots with this album, especially in the track “Picture Perfect.” The second half of the album is more interesti ng (blues riff s?!) than the fi rst but as a whole this is a solid off ering.

Matt & KimLightningFader LabelThis album is the fourth go-around for the quirky duo. The album is a curious landscape of clicks, chimes, synths

and showers of “oohs” and “ahhs.” The someti mes campy, bright tones create an eff ervescent energy that is quite infecti ous. As the album progresses, Matt ’s voice starts to get very irritati ng, the tone rarely changes and the lyrics are too repetitive. Eventually, the soul-less manufactured beat drowns out all else for the listener. This one needs tone and rhythm variety.

The Color PharmacySelf-TitledSelf-ReleasedThis trio from Minneapolis is a cool as a northern winter. This album,

their sophomore effort follows their debut album Texatonka released in 2011. The vocals are reminiscent of 90’s alt-rock, hallowed and soulful but can also be lighter and playful. The instrumentati on is bluesy, slightly quirky, driven but also very chill. The transiti on of the rhythms is refreshing and seamless. This album is a well-balanced and att enti on-grabbing. Be sure to check out the single off the album, “Aperture.” —Nick Durcholz

cd sidebarcd reviews


One of the most prolific series in video game history has recently been excavated from its own crypt, done up with a slick new sheen, dragged through the dirt and injected with a healthy dose of fear.

For 17 years, the buxom adventurer Lara Croft has fought re-animated skeletons, navigated puzzling underground terrain and uncovered timeless treasure, all the while keeping her sass, smarts and short shorts. In the newest installment, much has changed and in a good way. The new Tomb Raider focuses on a young, curious Lara Croft, head full of grandiose ideas and dreams. The player experiences raw emotion first-hand from Lara as she is molded through pain, fear and the elements. The young Lara spawns true empathy and is much easier to take seriously than the Barbie-esque heroine of old. This is Tomb Raider with teeth. Suspense abounds as cut-scenes and gameplay seamlessly intertwine with each other which kept me immersed and entertained. The environments were striking and detailed and the lighting was very complex. Lara’s movements felt natural and the controls were very manageable throughout the game. You could even explore solely to find a large variety of collectables. You can also hunt, which is thrilling thanks to a precise, quick and simple bow & arrow targeting system. The game’s upgrade and experience system is embedded perfectly and stylishly into the game. The player builds up three categories: Survivor, Hunter and Brawler. From the same menu you can also modify weapons, fast-travel and manage inventory. In a favorite scene of mine, Lara gets stuck in a bear trap then hears blood-curdling howls nearby. She prepped her bow, then I took over with nothing but tall grass in front of me, wolves suddenly erupted from the foliage like savage, toothy shadows. I had to dispatch them in midair lunge to prevent myself from becoming dog food. In my experience with the game, I only noticed a couple flaws. The first was some cheesy, sub-par voice acting and the second was a feeling of being detached and distracted by all the little things to do besides the primary objective. All-in-all the rebooted Tomb Raider is fun, exciting and very well done. Make a date to get to know the real Lara!—Mr. Farthington

Because I have a direct line to the President of Maker’s Mark on the red wax phone in my offi ce, I call with Rob Samuels, COO of Maker’s Mark. “Rob, I received an email that isn’t making sense, is this true?”

As a journalist, I always want to know before going to press. Rob confirms the announcement is true and offers an explanation of how demand for Maker’s has increased dramati cally over the last several years. The only thing that can be added to Bourbon when it comes out of the barrel is water. The company now believes that adding a litt le more water proofi ng it from 45% (90 proof) to 42% (84 proof) will help them sati sfy a litt le more demand. While we have noti ced the popularity of Maker’s Mark increasing over 8 years, we’ve never had diffi culty fi nding Maker’s Mark in stores. However, perhaps someone has… At the same ti me, we our coverage of the Maker’s Mark proof story becomes one of the hott est reports people have ever read and commented on at BourbonBlog.com. We were getti ng several hundred Tweets an hour at @BourbonBlog all demanding Maker’s Mark return to 90 proof. Finally, several evenings later as the new Maker’s Mark bott les at 43% hit the shelves; a friend from Owensboro brings me some to try. On a blind taste comparison, I taste the diff erence right away. In the end, about a week later aft er the fi rst announcement, Maker’s changes their minds to sati sfy consumers.

So what made Maker’s Mark change their mind?The power of social media has more than just a litt le to do with it. Jack Daniels reduced their ABV down to 40 (80 proof) in the 1990’s before we all had the ability to witness live complaints and the infl uence of Facebook, Twitt er and the many other websites, in addition to BourbonBlog.com who took the consumers seriously. Some inside un-named sources tell BourbonBlog.com that 4 million negati ve Tweets were blasted across Twitt er encouraging Maker’s Mark to change their minds. While some big name disti llers and consumers have privately shared with me that they believe it was a marketi ng ploy to get people talking about Maker’s Mark, it seems diffi cult to believe Maker’s would do that. I invite you to listen to our radio podcast interviews with Rob and Bill Samuels, Jr on BourbonBlog.com during that week giving updates about the issue. They deny any marketi ng ploys and sincerely raise a glass toasti ng to their consumers who spoke up. We don’t predict any brands will be changing proof again anyti me soon. —Tom Fischer

We wanted you to be the fi rst to know that, aft er looking at all possible soluti ons, we’ve worked carefully to reduce the alcohol by volume (ABV) by just 3%. This will enable us to maintain the same taste profi le and

increase our limited supply so there is enough Maker’s Mark to go around, while we conti nue to expand the disti llery and increase our producti on capacity. We have both tasted it extensively, and it’s completely

consistent with the taste profi le our founder/dad/grandfather, Bill Samuels, Sr., created nearly 60 years ago. We’ve also done extensive testi ng with Maker’s Mark drinkers, and they couldn’t tell a diff erence.

‘ I asked myself on a Saturday morning in February. ‘Someone must have hacked into Maker’s Mark Bourbon’s newslett er list and sent this to all the ambassadors.’ I read it again in disbelief: ’Could this be a joke?
