BEHIND THE SCENES

NICK ALLEXSON

Photographers, models and designers…oh my! That’s exactly what was in store for those in attendance to the2013 Spring Fashion Industry Meet and Greet. This fabulous event was hosted by Richard Allen and Femme.forteProductions, and what an event it was! The 150+ in attendance invaded the beautiful Best Place at the Historic PabstBrewery on April 11th. It was a wonderful way to welcome spring by networking with others from all facets of theindustry. The evening was full of esthetic excitement. Local artists were able to showcase accessories and designs.Models were dressed to impress. Photographers poised with cameras, and make-up artists and hair stylists with port-folios ready to share.

The show-stopper of the night was the incredibly talented Deborah Render’s designs for Gg Collections stomp-ing out the runway. Choreographed splendidly, the models caught and kept everyone’s attention from start to finish.Gorgeous monochromatic pieces, trendy spring designs and a fabulous men’s collection were all included in the amaz-ing fashion show.

The event happens twice a year; if you are interested in networking in the fashion industry, be sure to keepyour eyes peeled for the next Meet and Greet hosted by Femme.forte Productions! �

TAKE THE FIRST STEP

Dress To ImpressOn Stage

by Ty Christian


hen It h i n kback onit, I thinkE l w o o dBlues saidit best:“The waywe looktogether

presents a uniform image ofstrength and organization. Don’tsay anything. Look mean. Nosmiling.” The Blues Brothers hada look, and they made it iconic.No one can wear a black suit witha hat and sunglasses anymorewithout being accused of being aBlues Brother. Police wear uni-forms for a reason. People dressthe way they dress for a reason –it may be to give off an aura ofprofessionalism, to make them-selves look inviting, or perhaps al-luring. So the question remains:“Why are you still playing yourshows in jeans and a t-shirt?”

Don’t get me wrong – Ilove the jeans and t-shirt look! I’mwearing both jeans and a t-shirtright now, in fact. And boy, am Iextremely comfy. But I’m not upon stage. I’m not performing.The guy down the hall from me injeans and a t-shirt wouldn’t bemistaken for someone in my band.He doesn’t need to look like he’spart of a cohesive organization.But you do. Because when youtake that stage, you’re playing ashow. Why do they call it a“show?” Because you’re showingsomething. So show me thatyou’re a band, not just some dudesplaying guitars.

“But Ty, my favorite bandsplay in jeans and a t-shirt! That’stheir look!” Bullshit. Sure,maybe they play in jeans and a t-shirt now, but do you think theywere doing that before they werefamous? Probably not. Non-be-lievers will be quick to point outbands like Pearl Jam and Nirvana

dressed and played in “normal”clothes, and made it big. How-ever, take a look at pictures ofPearl Jam on their first album.Do those look like “normal”clothes to you? They were com-pletely decked out in the grungestyle of the time, and they alldressed in the same style. Youdidn’t see one guy wearing plaid,and another wearing a hockey jer-sey. They still looked like a cohe-sive unit – a band.

I’m not saying that everyband out there has to dress up inawesome medieval armor like myband, Lords of the Trident butwhat I am saying is that you haveto actively think about how youpresent yourselves. Apple spendsa lot of money and time research-ing and presenting their image. Ifyou want your band to be the“next iPhone,” you will too. Theclothes you wear on stage are yourpackaging. Make sure it’s sellingyour band!

Some easy ways to start:Define your genre. Yes, yes, Iknow that your genre defiesboundaries, and that you’re a mixof alternative rock and 50s sock-hop. I know your band “will rede-fine genres” and “is out to changehow you think about music.” Iknow this because there are abouttwo million bands that put this intheir “about the band” section onFacebook. Shut up. Pick a genre.

Do you have your genre?Good, now start thinking abouthow your stage clothes will helpyou simultaneously stand outamongst the other bands in yourgenre while making you easilyidentifiable inside of said genre.Confused yet? Don’t worry, it’snot that hard. Simply start bylooking at what other bands wearon stage. Pop-Punk band? GreenDay had matching black shirts andred ties. Metal band? Can’t gowrong with black and spikeseverywhere.

Once you have an idea ofthe dress that defines your genre(and those who listen to it), youcan start thinking about creatingsomething unique, but that fits in-side the definitions you’ve cre-ated. For instance – say you’re ametal band that is science-themed.Maybe you all wear black labcoats on stage? Or studded leatherlab coats? Something like that.

You don’t have to go allfantastical on it either. You justhave to look like a band. Maybeyou all wear similar black buttondown shirts and white pants?Maybe everyone’s naked exceptfor a sock? Whatever you decideto wear, you want to have every-one who sees you walking throughthe venue say to themselves, “Oh,that’s the band.” There should beno doubt in their mind.

Why do this? When allyour members have a uniform,outfit, or “look,” you appearunited. This makes the band seemstronger and makes it easier forpeople to recognize you as agroup. You’re not wearing thesame clothes that the people in theaudience are wearing. You’re sep-arated from them. You’re differ-ent. You’re interesting. You’re aband. Now get out there and don’tsuck!

Ty Christian knows a thingor two about stage presence andmoonlights as Fang VonWrathen-stein of “the Most Metal Band onEarth” Lords of the Trident.www.LordsOfTheTrident.com! �

MADISON-MADECRADEmade

by Robin James

TIM SPANGLER

Producer, writer andactor Corrina Crade sat downwith me to discuss her ac-complishments and strugglesas a filmmaker in Madison.

Robin James: How is actinggoing?

Corrina Crade: Well, myagents fight for me, and I thinkthat’s great. Obviously, themarket here in the Midwest isa lot of industrials, and a lot ofthings you wouldn’t really con-sider creative art, which is nota bad thing. I’m grateful forthose kinds of jobs. Acting iskind of an ebb and flow.

RJ: Favorite actor?

CC: Leonardo DiCaprio, be-cause when he acts hedoesn’t care about anythingelse but the character andwho he is as thatcharacter. There is a rawnessthat is completely expelled outof his pores and you feel it asan audience member.

RJ: Favorite movie?

CC: Garden State, becausethey filmed very much like Iwant to. They utilized theircommunity. They had the sup-port of their family. They told agood story that when someonewalked away, it resonated withthem, and they felt compelledto understand it, talk about itand relate to it.

RJ: How has your family re-acted to you pursuing film?

CC: Very supportive. I don’tthink there has been anythingexcept support.

RJ: Did anything happen inyour childhood that pushedyou towards film?

CC: My father was very activein telling bedtime stories thatinvolved our stuffed animalsand our neighborhood friends.He would spend fifteen toforty-five minutes every nighttelling these funny storiesabout forts being made and all

our friends dodging dragons,and our stuffed animals wouldhelp. It was a very imagina-tive-type upbringing. My momwas very into art, so she wouldmake dollhouses and clothing.She had us doing clay and art.I don’t go around saying myfamily was the most artisticfamily, but art and storytellingwere integrated within a lot ofthe stuff we did. Any schoolproject was always some formof art.

When Crade was in mid-dle school she used an old VHSvideo camera to make films withher friends. Writing scripts on yel-

low-lined paper and putting bedsheets over lamps to soften thelighting, Crade was preparing forher career as a filmmaker. Cradethinks back to that time, saying,“We made music videos, commer-cials, newcasts, anything youcould imagine that was kind of hipand popular then.” Her editingprocess was using the pause andrecord buttons on the side of thecamera. “We had this big old key-board that had sound effects likeclapping hands, doorbells, andlaughing that we’d integrate intoour shows,” Crade recalls.

She jokes that most kidswere off stealing their parents’wine coolers and making out inthe woods, but she and her friendswere making movies in her base-ment. For most of her friends itwas just a phase, but for Crade itwas the beginning of her buddingfilm career.

RJ: Tell me about making filmsin Madison.

CC: Madison’s an amazingplace to film, and we are hon-ored to be able to utilize it in afilmmaking, storytelling world.The community is so open,and we wouldn’t have beenable to do our films without it.There should be more filmmak-ing in Madison.

RJ: What is the greatest thingabout being a filmmaker?

CC: To me, it’s about peoplecoming together and joiningtogether as a team to tell astory.

RJ : What role do you like the

“I don’t go aroundsaying my

family was the mostartistic family, but artand storytelling wereintegrated within alot of the stuff we

did.”

23

most?

CC: I think writing is one of myfavorite things, but then I likebeing able to produce it so thatI can see the writing come tolife and have a little bit of cre-ative direction in that.

Crade wrote, produced,and acted in the film Oranges,which was shot in the fall of 2012.It is a story about forgiveness andfamily. This is the first full featurefilm her production companyCRADEmade Entertainment hasproduced. The majority ofCRADEmade Entertainment’screw is women, including majorroles such as director, assistant di-rector, and project manager. Thecompany’s main focus is to bringfilmmaking to the Midwest.

RJ: What goals do you have forCRADEmade?

CC: I want to keep telling goodstories. I want to have a fea-ture every other year. I want tohave other projects, whichmay be short films...maybe aweb series...maybe a talkshow. I really want CRADE-made Entertainment to be alaunching point for storytellingart, but also a platform to giveback to people, like programsto teach people, programs tohave interns come and learn,and to go out to cities and talkabout what we do.

After Crade had finishedworking on a TV show that hadbeen shot in Madison, about 95%of the cast and crew went back totheir homes in LA. “They headedoff to LA land, and there were abunch of us left back in Madison.We were working very hard, and Ithought, ‘We’re just as talentedand just as good, and we should be

doing this too.’ I put together a lit-tle group of people and said, ‘Let’smake a short film, and let’s makespecs.’ We became an actual com-pany about six months ago.”

RJ: How did you get the rest ofyour crew together?

CC: What happens is really tal-ented people come together,and then they recommend re-ally talented people. All of asudden you’re surrounded bythese like-minded people. Ijust happened to come acrossthese amazing people, andthen they introduced me toamazing people. That is thetype of industry I like workingfor. That’s the type of industryI feel most proud of.

RJ: What has been your proud-est moment?

CC: We were midway through

our shoot for Oranges, alreadyexhausted and thinking, “Arewe ever going to get throughthis?” and every person - light-ing, sound, actors, director,AD, producer, script supervi-sor, project manager - everyperson was almost “inmute”. We all just watchedit. We didn’t really work. Wejust had it happen, and no onereally said anything. And that’sthe impact of a story coming tolife, and it was something Iwrote, which is a really great,proud moment as a writer.

RJ: Describe your process forwriting.

CC: A lot of times it will cometo me when I’m listening to asong. Then I will write a trailerin my head. I lock myself in aroom, and I listen to thesong. Literally, I’ll just put it onrepeat for eight to 16 hours,and I’ll just sit there writing. Soit’s really kind of messed up tobe honest with you. I’ll comeback to it, but the only way Iwill be able to write that script,tweak it or edit it is if I’m listen-ing to that song.

RJ: When did you feel mostdefeated?

CC: Oh, many times as a pro-ducer you feel like you can’tplease people enough. Youfeel like you’re not saying “I ap-preciate you” enough. You feellike, “Oh, they worked 18 hourscertain days; it’s all my fault.” Ifeel, as a producer, there’s anelement of defeat. You fail insome regard. Even though

your job is to make sure every-thing goes well and seam-lessly, it can never be perfect.At the end of the shoot, I feltdefeated because I felt that Icouldn’t please everyone.

RJ: What’s your advice forsomeone who wants get in-volved in film?

CC: Find like-minded people,even if it’s just two people andjust do anything you possiblycan. Film, write, talk, eat. Getyour life to fit into that artistmindset. Surround yourselfwith people who are like, “Youcan do it! Yes, you can! I’mgoing to help you!” Becausethe minute someone says,“Oh, that’s just a hobby,” theyset you back. You need to sur-round yourself with like-minded artists. That was thebest thing I ever did for myself.I found people with passion intheir hearts and a drive to tella story. I’m so grateful forthat. The only reason why I’m

anywhere is because I’ve sur-rounded myself with talented,driven, passionate people whowere also able to think thesame way. So anyone think-ing, “Oh, I wonder if I can pro-duce.” Well, find two otherpeople who want to produceand do a music video withstuffed animals...or find anartist and say, “Hey, I’ll do thisfor free.” Find someone with acamera and ask, “Can I PA?,”and eventually you moveup. You have to make the de-cision to just do it. Then, makethe decision to work reallyhard.

Crade hopes to be an in-spiration to other passionate film-makers. Oranges is expected tobe released fall of 2013. For up-dates on projects and more infor-mation about CRADEmadeEntertainment.

MUSIC

ery few seventeenyears olds can saythat they just releasedtheir second album.High school seniorand local pop singer-songwriter Sam

Lyons can do just that. Coming froma musically inclined family – his fa-ther a bass and trombone player, hiseldest brother studying saxophone atBerklee College of Music in Boston,and his middle brother a hip hop artist– his love for music was inevitable.

Lyons started playingpiano in first grade. By the timehe reached third grade, he askedhis dad if he could play bass likehim. His father reportedly said,“no, you want to play guitar.” So

Lyons picked up a guitar andstarted writing music. His songsat that time were described as“angsty songs about my life inrural Wisconsin… which was anactually an awesome life,” helaughs. Lyons also learned violaand tuba along the way.

Once he hit middle school,he started focusing more on guitar– especially jazz guitar, becausejazz was always prominent in hisfamily life. The moment Lyonsgot the idea to record his firstalbum stands out distinctly in hismemory: “My family went on aroad trip, and we were listening toa John Mayer CD in the car. Itwas before he was extremely fa-mous, kind of like a demo CD,and at that moment, I was inspiredand realized I wanted to make anacoustic CD.” Released his soph-omore year in high school,“Someday” features all acoustictracks with the exception of oneaccompanied by piano.

The New Year witnessed therelease of Lyons’ latest album, “TheLight.” He held a CD release partyon March 3rd and has since appearedon a college radio station, an NPRshow, and the local news to promoteit. With smooth vocals and jazz-in-fluenced instrumentals, it’s delightfulto listen to.

Lyons’ main challenges lie ingetting his music heard. “Peoplehave always tended to receive my

music well; I’m more worried aboutgetting it in front of people,” he said.Though he’s met some people in thelocal music industry that like his freshface and talent, Lyons has also runinto the challenge of his youth. “It’shard when you’re seventeen, andpeople don’t trust you,” he admitted.

Always full of dreams,Lyons is planning on college and hasalready been accepted to BerkleeCollege of Music, and is also await-ing information on a scholarship toWilliam Paterson University in NewJersey. He has the lofty goal of even-tually winning a Grammy, and to“just bring back good, authenticmusic to the commercial field.”

With a bright musical futureahead of him, Sam Lyons is someoneto keep in your sights. His passionfor music is his drive, and he claims,“I can’t see myself doing anythingelse.”To listen to Lyons’ music, visitwww.samlyonsmusic.com. Youcan also find him on Facebook,YouTube, and Twitter under the samehandle. �

The Jimmy K Show

f you wander into theWisco on Willy Streetbetween 6-9pm on aTuesday, be preparedto be rocked by TheJimmy K Show, thefounding entertainment

of Max Ink Radio. The show hasbeen around for three years andoriginated in the basement ofJimmy’s house under the name“The Bastard,” through InfernalRock Radio.

“I always had the idea ofthe general premise of the show;I just never could find someoneto do the show with or find thetime to devote to what the showcan sometimes demand,” JimmyK said, after describing when hefirst met cohost, Edub, and learn-ing they had the same passion formusic and radio.

Within a year the duo

soon met Rökker of Max Inkwhom they contacted for promo-tion for an upcoming event. Thethree of them brainstormed andcame up with the anchor show of

a new internet radio station: MaxInk Radio. Jimmy K and Edubcontinued co-hosting and addedRökker as the “Dumb Ass News”reporter. They found other DJswho wanted to have a show andeventually grew the station fromseven hours a week of livestreaming radio to around 65hours a week, basically coveringfrom 9am-9pm Monday throughFriday.

Though the station’s spe-cialty is the local music scene, itis broadcast around the country.There are DJs in different statesand even outside of the US pro-moting music. “The differencebetween the magazine and theradio station is, since we are onthe internet radio, we aren’t ter-restrial. Max Ink Magazine is de-livered around Wisconsin; wehave DJs around the country andeven in the UK, all covering their

own local music,” explains Edub.

This past January, TheJimmy K Show moved to theWisco – which completelychanged the dynamics of thebroadcast. “At that point, I wasscared that it would either makethe show, or bomb,” confessedJimmy. Not only did they haveto figure out the usual technicalaspects for virtual listeners, theyhad to make sure that the live au-dience was being entertained aswell. The show soon became tai-lored to the live crowd, offering a“Beer of the Week” tasting byTrixie’s Liquor and vodka sam-ples by none other than RökkerVodka. Virtual listeners have theability to talk to the DJs in a livechat room and make requests.By moving to the Wisco, theshow has a new way of interact-ing with fans and gives a “human

face to Max Ink,” claims Rökker.

Max Ink Radio has a widevariety of DJs who currently hosttheir own shows. From RyanSchremp’s Ear Worms to ChadElliott’s Murder Show to JimmyK’s sister-in-law’s show, PhoenixRising, based in Niagra, Ontario,listeners are guaranteed to find ashow they can relate to andenjoy. There are no parametersthe hosts need to follow – theyjust have to be passionate abouttheir show’s content. And theyare. “I can count on my fingersthe times we’ve missed a show,”said Jimmy K. With a lineup oflive music, comedians, inter-views, “Dumb Ass News,” andthe addition of alcohol samples,why would someone want tomiss it?

There are many peoplethat Jimmy K would like to thank

for the success of the Jimmy KShow. Here are the most impor-tant ones: “Mrs. K. (Leona) -without her help and support theJimmy K Show would have neverhappened. She is pretty awe-some! Edub - best co-host ever!All the bands and comics thathave been on the show. Eduband I can put on a radio show,but without our guests whatwould we be? The band mem-bers and the comics, and all theother guests take the time out oftheir busy day to be on the JimmyK Show. That is really awesomeand very much appreciated.”

THE ARTS

1) No matter what day of the week it is there is live music happening somewhere. Some nights there are multipleshows so it can be stressful figuring out which one to attend, but it’s worth it once you decide!

2) The variety of concert venues to see bands. From the vintage theater atmosphere of the Majestic, to the cozyatmosphere of the Alchemy, to the spacious High Noon Saloon, to the edgy rock-n-roll intimacy The Frequency,Madison has it all.

3) Gallery shows. All. Over. Town. In coffeehouses and cafes, at the UW campus, Bright Red Studios, and ArtIn Gallery, to name a few; there is no shortage of places to see artwork!

4) The artists! Painters, Photographers, Actors, Musicians, Illustrators, Designers, Burlesque acts, Ballet, Glass-Blowers, Welders, Comedians, the list goes on and on. If there’s a form of art, we have the artists in Madison!

5) The burgeoning film industry! There are countless film production studios in town including Living StormProductions, Windmiller Media, Makeshift Media Group, Screaming Like Banshees, Demented Dane County,and Tarazod Films. No matter what genre, there’s a production company that caters to this.

6) Fundraisers for good causes that incorporate the artists such as The Literacy Network’s “Busking for Books,”and RAW Madison Artist’s “Barrel-Painting” which painted multiple rain barrels to auction for an area school.

7) The Night Life that creates fun themes for artists and creative people. You can find something going on at TheInferno most months, previous events such as the Majestic’s “Majestique” and the “Fire” & “Ice Balls,” and theHigh Noon Saloon’s “Halloweekend.” There’s always something fun and inviting for artists to express them-selves.

8) The Theatre Community. With so many theatres in Madison, you’re bound to catch a play, musical, or shortevery single weekend of the year. Among them are the Bartell Theatre, Broom Street Theatre, Encore! Studio forthe Performing Arts, Stage Q, Forward Theatre, Kathie Rasmussen Women’s Theatre (Krass), and the UW Madi-son University Theatre. But this is to name just a portion! The variety of stage productions is endless and thestage presence is remarkable.

9) Artist “support groups” that help artists network, showcase, write, create, and complete projects such asMadison Writers Network, Perfect Harmony Men’s Chorus, the Madison Songwriter’s Guild, RAW Madison, WeMake Music Happen, Wisconscene, and Project Famous.

10) The independent publications!! With multiple magazines covering the artistic side of Madison, the arts andartists sure do get attention! Thanks to Maximum Ink, Our Lives, and yours truly, Project Famous Magazine!
