Solid Knockout Promotions to bring the BOOM to BeevilleSaturday, Sept. 20,

fight fans will converge to the Bee County Expo Center in Beeville to see some flying fists during a night of mixed martial arts and boxing.

The event was put together by Beeville Police Chief Joe Treviño with a portion of all ticket sales going to help the Beeville Police Department.

“I’m a big boxing fan, and I’ve attended boxing and MMA events a lot out of town,” the chief said.

And while away at one of the events, Treviño ran into promoters Moses Vasquez and Eddie Aguilera.

“I told them we should bring a program to Beeville,” the chief said. “They told me that if I’d help them that they’d share half the proceeds with the Beeville Police Department.”

Treviño said the City of Beeville takes pretty good care of the depart-ment and its employees and that the BPD really didn’t need the money, but getting a little extra money for training and new equipment never hurts.

And on Sept. 19 at Stone Creek Bar & Grill, 4402 N. St. Mary’s St. in Beeville, you’ll get a chance to check out all the fighters as well as some of the lovely ring girls for the official weigh-in ceremony.

The fighters are expect-ed to show up around 1 p.m. and hit the scales

around 2 o’clock.And as with last

Thursday’s press con-ference at the Dog and Bee Public House, Police Chief Treviño said that the public is welcome to come out and get a look at the fighters who will be competing.

“I encourage every-one to come and see the event,” Treviño said. And at the weigh-in, it will be the first time that fight fans will see all 16 con-tenders, including local boxer Robert Serna mak-ing his professional debut.

Serna, 26, started training to fight when he was 14 under the tutelage of boxing trainer Lalo Valdez, founder of the Aztec Warriors Boxing Club.

Valdez said boxing lit-erally transformed the young fighter’s life. Serna was a chubby kid when he first showed up at the gym, and he has lost 100 pounds over the years.

He has been a three-time regional winner in the Golden Gloves region-al competition.

Promoters Vasquez and Aguilera of Solid Knockout Promotions are promising a spectacular night of both boxing and mixed martial arts.

So far, eight profession-al fights are scheduled for the Friday Night Fights event with four of the fights being boxing and four being MMA events.

One of the anticipated events will be between Corpus Christi police offi-cer Joe Lerma, who trains with MMA veteran Big Rob Villegas, and Shane Lees.

Lees is a soldier at Fort Hood and is a veteran of the Iraq War and recipi-ent of the Purple Heart.

“We’re calling it the sol-dier vs. the police officer,” Treviño said of the match.

Although Lees was not at the press conference last week, his friend, Army veteran Colton Smith, said he expects big things from his fellow soldier.

Smith won the Ultimate Fighter championship in the welterweight division

last December and will be at the event on Sept. 20 for a special appearance and to sign autographs.

The chief said ticket sales have been steady, but he expects fight fans to start snatching them up in larger numbers next week.

General admission tick-ets are $20 each. The price will be the same whether the tickets are purchased before the event or at the door.

A number of VIP tables are also being sold, and local businesses are grab-bing those up quickly at $550 and $1,100 each.

The tables will each

seat 10 persons, and they will have the best seats in the house.

“Buying a table is a great way for a local busi-ness to show appreciation for its employees,” the chief said.

The event will be held inside the large building at the Expo Center, so everyone will be able to watch the fights in air-conditioned comfort.

“We expect to sell out,” Treviño said.

Although the auditori-um offers plenty of space for seats and tables, the chief said it is small enough for everyone who comes see the action.

Boxing matches will range from four to six three-minute rounds.

The chief said the pro-moters had not been able to line up a female bout for the evening, but they are working on that pos-sibility.

There will be live musi-cal performances by Texas Country artist The Dave Rukkus Band as well as the young international artist Monica Emid, who will perform some of her ranchera, mariachi and pop en Español.

A foot-long eating con-

test hosted by Subway also will take place at the event.

If the promoters like the way this fight night turns out, they would like to bring an event here at least once a year.

Solid Knockout Promotions is solely in charge of bringing fights to the Richard Borchard Nueces County Fairgrounds in Robstown. The two promoters have been doing this for years.

“This isn’t fake,” the chief said. “This is for real. People are in for a treat because this is excit-ing.”

‘This is the End’ is a fun romp through The Book of Revelation“This is the End” is sort

of a raunchy, comedic version of the “Ocean’s 11” films where you have a group of friends who get together and make a movie.

In this case, the actors actually play caricatures of themselves and don’t hold back anything while lampooning one another and constantly setting off barrages of jokey insults which leave the audience wondering how much of it is actually true.

They reference each other’s movies, poke fun at their previous misfor-tunes both on screen and off and smoke a lot of pot.

Even though the movie came out more than a month ago, they decided to re-release it in the-aters, seemingly to make the film, which was bud-

geted at $32 million, cross the $100 million mark, which they’re shy of by just $2 million.

The film stars Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson and a ton of cameos from Paul Rudd to Channing Tatum to Rihanna.

In the first 15 minutes alone, recognizable faces show up and spout a few lines basically just to show how famous these guys are.

The movie starts out when Baruchel (one of the films writers along with Rogen) comes to L.A. to hang out with his best pal, Rogen. Baruchel is tired of the whole Hollywood scene and just wants to relax with his best friend and smoke pot and play

video games.But Rogen is invited

to Franco’s house warm-ing party and convinces Baruchel to join him. Baruchel hates the gang (basically the entire casts of “Pineapple Express”, “40 Year Old Virgin” and “Superbad”) but unwill-ingly follows along.

He quickly becomes annoyed by the crew’s antics and leaves with Rogen down the street for a pack of cigarettes.

Then the apocalypse happens.

Chaos erupts on the streets as, just like the Bible tells us so, the good people of the world get sucked up into the sky and are taken to heaven, and the rest must fend for themselves during the end times.

The comedy in this movie is as raunchy as expected from the group of actors and probably sent some church-goers running for the door. It is the Bible’s version of Revelation that’s happen-ing all around them, but they poke fun at it every chance they get.

Would a demon actu-ally rape Jonah Hill? Who knows, but according to this movie, the answer is yes.

The movie is a lighter take of Revelation, but it does get frightening at times with demon dogs, Satan and demonic pos-session, but it’s nearly always done for laughs.

It’s a fun romp, com-plete with the Backstreet Boys reuniting in heaven, but after the movie’s over, one is left with the ques-tion: Are these guys real-ly that brash and do they really smoke that much weed?

There are surprises around every corner of this movie, and it’s sort of a genius move putting all

these actors in one movie lambasting one another.

All in all, “This is the End” is a great start to a

franchise. And the rum-blings on the Internet suggest they’re working on a sequel.

P. 4 SEPTEMBER 14-27, 2013

He’s missing his sig-nature brown hat with dangling feather that has pretty much become one of his trademarks, but, as always, he’s barefoot.

Staring at the monitor that’s sitting above the huge mixing board, he lis-tens to some newly added mandolin on one of his tracks, bobbing his head as he watches the mul-

tiple music tracks stream before him.

“I just love music,” Pake said taking a break from the gruelling studio

session to chat. “That’s all I ever wanted to do was to be able to play music.

“When I was younger I didn’t have the concen-tration to just sit down and write. I was just all over the place. I had a harmonica, and I played that. I would play around on the piano a little bit. I just never really learned until I was 16.”

Pake’s father, Clark

Rossi, is also a guitar playing songwriter. He’s played for years, and still does on occasion, and eventually got Pake his first guitar around the age of 14.

“I remember one time my brother told me, ‘You should really learn how to play so you can play with Dad’,” Pake recalled with a grin.

“So I just started mess-ing with it and I figured it out eventually.”

And though he learned to play when he was young, the art of song-writing had eluded him in his beginning years.

Pake eventually would play with his father in a cover band for a few years before moving out to Corpus Christi from Hebbronville where he began working as a weld-er, a profession he didn’t take much of a liking to.

“When I moved to Corpus, I didn’t play for almost 10 months. It was driving me crazy. I quit my job, and I was sitting around my apartment playing, and I just started writing songs.

“And for some reason it hit me. I got it all of a sudden. I wrote five songs in a row.”

And during his time in Corpus Christi, he ran into a now very close friend, Ty Dietz, and the two of them began writ-

ing songs together.Being in his mid-20s,

Pake really had no busi-ness listening to the old country acts from yester-year, but that’s what he did and learned how to play them, too.

“Lefty Frizzell is one of my favorites. The first song I ever learned was “Long Black Veil”. The second song I ever learned was “Mama’s Hungry Eyes” by Merle Haggard.

“All I did was learn old Country songs. I didn’t even like anything else. I didn’t listen to anything else until I was about 17 or 18. Then I started listening to Creedence (Clearwater Revival) and that kind of stuff.

“The newest person I covered was probably Tom Petty, who’s not new,” Rossi said laugh-ing.

“I started listen-ing to the whole Texas Country thing, so I’d lis-ten to Rodney Crowell. My favorite record is The Houston Kid. That’s when I started getting into songwriting and studying other songwriters.”

In the studio, Pake decides it’s time to record some vocals. The lights dim and the studio grows quiet as he enters the vocal booth.

But one thing’s miss-ing. There’s no notebook or lyric sheet. No crum-pled piece of paper with the words to the song scribbled on it.

Turns out, Pake’s song-writing doesn’t involve any writing at all.

‘I quit my job, and I was sitting around my apartment

playing, and I just started writing songs.’

‘I get distracted, and I lose

track if I have to sit and write it all

down.’

W alking into the cramped, re-purposed garage that is now Fast Horse recording studio in Austin, Pake Rossi is recording

his new, untitled album. There’s a sense of calm, controlled chaos as he runs through his list of new material, trying to finish up each song.

Page 5: STXscene issue #8

P. 5“I don’t write down my

lyrics. While I’m writing the song, I never write down the lyrics.

“I’m just a really bad speller and a really slow writer. It would just dis-tract me, and I wouldn’t really be able to get in the zone. So I just sort of memorize it as I go along. It’s pretty simple.”

He simply comes up with a lyric he likes, sings it a couple of times until it gets ingrained in his mind and moves on.

“You have to complete-ly submerge yourself in the song. There’s nothing else involved. I get dis-tracted, and I lose track if I have to sit and write it all down.

“It’s just me and my guitar and my thoughts.

“I don’t really see it as doing anything different than anybody else. That’s just how I do it.”

Listening to Pake’s newest songs during some playback, it’s evi-dent there’s an evolution happening. His songs’ structures are chang-ing, getting more com-plicated. His lyrics have matured. His playing style has grown. And he’s well aware of the trans-formation.

“I see no point in just staying in the same place. I feel like if you’re not always changing and evolving as a songwriter, then there’s something

wrong. “That’s the only way

you’re going to get better. And if it doesn’t work, at least you know it doesn’t work, and you won’t do that again.”

We began to discuss the mainstream record business a bit and the fact that it’s been based on singles for so long. The old way of releasing a single to sell a record has sort of become extinct with the advent of digital downloads and stream-ing music apps.

But it’s mostly the art-ists who are at fault for sticking good singles on bad albums.

“One of the things that bothers me the most is when I hear a song that I really like by somebody, and then I get the record, and all the songs sound the same.

“I think a record has to have movement. If it’s just the same all across the board, especially in our society, you loose interest. There’s so many things grabbing your attention here and there. So there has to be move-ment and has to flow nicely.”

But Pake still holds onto the idea of a good record, not just a bunch of random songs on a CD.

Especially with digital music services and media devices, there’s a minis-cule chance that you’ve listened to an album through it’s entirety. Most likely, you add it to your library of music and shuffle the entire thing.

“People still think the single is the focus, but I still believe in the album. I still believe in the record – 10 or 12 songs that go together and not just a bunch of singles that don’t match each other.

“An album should be very tight. It should cap-ture a certain moment. That’s the whole point of it. It’s a record.”

Working on his third album, Pake has been sitting on some of the songs since he recorded Mercy of the Mountain, his most recent record, back in 2011, but it didn’t see a release until earlier this year.

“That’s a big gap. That’s two years worth of songs. I just had so many songs, and I’ve changed so much already I felt that I needed to catch up, so that’s what I’m doing.”

And while still promot-ing his last record, he decided to head into the studio anyway.

“I’m just getting rest-less I guess. Like I said, it’s hard for me to focus on just one thing.”

He came into the stu-dio before the actual recording began of his new album and recorded demos of 22 new songs, picking the best ones he felt fit together to make an album.

“Well, really they just picked themselves. I’m pretty excited about it. We had a hard time cut-ting some. We still have too many songs, but too many songs is a good thing.”

Yet, with most inde-pendent musicians, life can be a bit of a struggle. Most have to make time around their day job to

play gigs and head out on the road.

But that’s not always the case.

“Music is my day job,” Pake says with a distant smile as he begins to think about what he just said.

“It’s easy to lose per-spective. I just focus on things I shouldn’t focus on. Sometimes I forget that I get to drive around and play music all the time, which is all I want to do. And that’s awe-some. It’s definitely a blessing.

“When I went those 10 months without playing music, it was like there was a hole inside of me.

“I love doing it and I love traveling. I love going to places I’ve never been before. And meeting people I’ve never met.

“It just doesn’t make sense doing anything else. It’s all I ever want-ed to do, so I might as well do it while I can. I don’t have a whole lot of responsibility. And I’m still young enough to neglect the responsibility that I do have,” Pake said chuckling loudly.

Naturally, the ques-tion of family is brought up. Being road worn and stage weary takes its toll on a man of any age.

Are thoughts of set-tling down and having children stuck some-where between the lines of his lovelorn lyrics?

Pake pauses and thinks about the ques-tion with a small grin as he stares at the floor.

“Eventually. “Someday.”He thinks about it

some more.“Yeah, I do. Not yet. I

still got a lot of work to do.

He laughed and said, “I

don’t really date. I don’t really have time for that. I’ve found the time, now.”

He dismisses the ques-tions abruptly.

“I’m doing all right.”Pake doesn’t sit still

very much. During the interview, he’s twist-ing in his chair, slouch-ing, sitting up, looking around.

But that seems to be how he works. Never sit-ting still, ever moving.

“You just have to work hard and play a lot. And just don’t get your hopes up. I’ve played my share of empty bar rooms, and I tell you what — it doesn’t get easier. But you just have to stick with it. I just do it because I love it. And that’s the only reason, so if there’s three people who are enjoying it, that’s good enough for me.”

So how long does Pake think he can keep driving around in his old van, named Vanna White, playing dive bars and the occasional sold-out venue?

Can he ever just up and quit one day?

“I don’t think I can.

“I’ll never stop writing. I’ve always said that if it gets to the point where I absolutely have to just settle down and get a real job and be responsible, I’ll do it. I’ve got no prob-lems doing that.

“I just want to play music for as long as I can. So if it gets to the

point where I got three babies that aren’t getting fed the way they should be because the music ain’t paying the way it needs to be paying, then I’ll do what I have to do.

“I’ll stop when I have to stop, but I’ll never stop writing songs.

“I can’t. “It’s just something

I’ve always wanted to do. “Now it’s all that I do,

and it’s something I can’t stop doing.

“I can see it a relief – not being in the music business,” Pake paused to laugh and twirl in his chair before stopping and contemplating the future for a bit.

“It’s a tough business. It’s not very forgiving.”

And with that, Pake is back to work, record-ing more guitar tracks — another new song that will hopefully find it’s way on the new album he hopes to have released in January — if he can focus on it long enough.

‘I’m just getting

restless. Like I said, it’s

hard for me to focus on just one thing.’

‘I’ll stop when I have to stop, but I’ll never

stop writing songs.’
