Death Becomes Them The arguments in support of the ballot measure to abolish the death penalty are exaggerated at best and, in most cases, misleading and erroneous (“Lethal Blow,” Aug. 15). Proposition 34 is being funded primarily by a wealthy, left-wing company out of Chicago,

the ACLU, and similarly-oriented trust funds. It includes provisions that would only make our prisons less safe for both other prisoners and prison officials and signiﬁcantly increase the costs to taxpayers due to lifetime medical costs, the increased security required to coerce former death-row inmates to work, etc. The amount “saved” in order to help fund law enforcement is negligible and only for a short period of time. Bottom line, the “SAFE” Act is an attempt by those who are responsible for the high costs and lack of executions to now persuade voters to abandon it on those grounds. Obviously, these arguments would disappear if the death penalty was carried forth in accordance with the law. CHRIS BERNSTIEN

See the Sights Oh, wish we could have given you our information for Gary Singh’s article (“The Two Tours,” Silicon Alleys, Aug. 22). We’re a studentled walking-tour company always looking for guests to take our tours. More San Jose Walks & Talks info can be found at our student-designed website: www.sanjosewalksandtalks. org. It’s a project I started with some of my students to give them some job experience, and we hope we’re another reason for people to come downtown. GREG ADLER | SAN JOSE

Crime Time I don’t think the blame for the increase in crime rests on anyone

but ourselves. Citizens have depended on the Mayor, Council, the Police Chief, legislators, and the Police instead of ﬁxing problems in their own homes and neighborhoods. Who do you think are raising these criminals? Who do you think are hiding and protecting these murderers, rapists, robbers? Who do you think are the ones ignoring their mentally ill family members? Who is watching crime in their neighborhoods and NOT reporting it? The time has come to stop passing the blame off on everyone but ourselves. It’s time for citizens to get engaged, involved, and active in their communities, and get help for family members who are out there on the streets committing these crimes. “Denial isn’t an Egyptian River, you know!” KATHLEEN CORRECTION: Last week’s article about the Milk Pail Market got the location information wrong. The correct address and phone number are 2585 California St., Mountain View; 650.941.2505. Metro regrets the mistake.

A recent rampage through the Banff Centre, a world-renowned multidisciplinary arts incubator in the Canadian Rockies, convinced him that he should not grovel over squandered Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees.

At SJSU, he had been one of those punks who refused to function in a speciﬁc discipline—you know, like music composition, UNIX hacking, visual art or creative writing. Instead, he occupied the routes between all the pigeonholes, peeking inside each one enough to take what he needed, all the while knowing in his heart that it would probably ruin his chances of ever remaining in academia to teach anything. At that time, in 1995, he ﬁrst visited the Banff Centre, while working with one of his SJSU professors and committee members, Allen Strange, in order to help administrate an annual International Computer Music Conference, a job he performed for the last half of that decade. Even then, he found the Banff

Centre to be a wildly inspiring place, a creative mountain vortex where artists of every discipline showed up to do residencies and inspire each other. Everyone seemed to operate outside of traditional academic compartmentalization. Not to dismiss specialization; rather, the Banff Centre seemed to attract those traveling the routes between the pigeonholes. The anti-man-about-town felt at home in such a place, even if it was a temporary visit for a conference as part of his job at SJSU. As that conference did every year, the 1995 Banff installment provided all the ﬂourishes of art-and-technology crossover he desired: Electronic music composers collaborated with modern dancers. Audio engineers joined forces with violinists. Music professors got hammered with LISP programmers. Our pals from Stanford delivered scientiﬁc papers with exotic titles like: “Digital Waveguide Modeling of the Non-Linear Excitation of Single Reed Woodwind Instruments.” Or:

“Toward a CLM Sound Localization Instrument Employing Modified Wavefront Reconstruction.” Most of the folks involved were experts in their fields, but still seemed to reap more inspiration exploring the routes between the academic pigeonholes, a phenomenon already exemplified by the Banff Centre itself. The interdisciplinary creative spirit exemplified by the centre anticipates/ mirrors/reflects the dialogues of San Jose’s ZERO1 Biennial, which comes back in mid-September. Somehow, I survived that era with a Master of Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, which actually said “Art & Technology,” on a piece of paper, although there was no possible use for such a degree. That is, until I started writing. Then it all came back. So when I returned to the Banff Centre earlier this month, it was my first time since 1995, and the campus was even better than 17 years ago. Craggy mountain peaks and a crisp summer breeze enveloped the place. Deer walked around everywhere. I felt like the natural environment was just as much of a creative guide as were my professors, way back in college. On my visit this time, so much was transpiring that it was impossible to keep track of it all: opera, sculpture, critical theory, jazz, dance, leadership seminars and film sound design were among the activities in full force. The anti-man-about-town felt more than inspired to write down his experiences. He felt like everything had come full circle, like all that rebellion against the pigeonholes was a good thing and he needed to write it all down. He no longer felt alone. There’s a saying out there in nature that when the student is ready, the teachers—all of them—will reappear. I feel like right now is one of those times. I write this because I know there exist readers who feel disenfranchised from previous parts of their lives, wondering if they wasted their SJSU years obtaining a degree they never used for anything. To them, I say, explore. Through travel and writing this column, there is no longer any need for the antiman-about-town to consider whether he wasted those college years. He has found a way to utilize the routes between the pigeonholes. He thinks there just might be a redemptive power in storytelling. Try it. If it helped this punk from SJSU, it can help you too.

There are currently two flavors: the Thai bar, made of coconuts, lime and ginger; and the Chaco bar, comprising peanut butter, dates and dark chocolate. The fact that the bars have crickets in them is not nearly as exciting, or

alarming, as it may sound. There are no visual signs of the insects, and the amount of cricket flour used is so small that the flavor of the other ingredients overpowers their distinct nutty, earthy taste. It’s almost as if they’re not there, which was a deliberate decision on the part of co-founders Pat Crowley, a resident of Salt Lake City, and Dan O’Neill, a California native whose day job is at Intuit in Mountain View. The strategy behind Chapul bars is actually to ease people into the idea of eating insects. Crowley and O’Neill believe that insects provide a superior source of protein, with less of an environmental impact, than cows, pigs, poultry and fish, the standard sources of protein in the American diet. “We’re trying to solve a big social and environmental problem. We are starting very small. That’s how

revolutions always start,” O’Neill says. According to O’Neill, the main beneﬁt crickets offer is water conservation. Ten pounds of feed produces 1 pound of cow. That same 10 pounds of feed will produce 8 pounds of cricket. That means less water and resources would be required to produce the same amount of cricket-based protein. The reason for this difference is that only a small amount of the cow is eaten, whereas all of the cricket can be eaten, not to mention crickets are naturally denser in protein. As far as O’Neill is concerned, conserving water is a major concern. As the world’s population continues to grow, and more people are able to live middle class lifestyles, the water consumption will skyrocket, causing potentially catastrophic water shortages. “The math just doesn’t work with the protein options we’re choosing to use right now,” O’Neill says. Unfortunately, the Chapul revolution faces one big hurdle: whether people in the United States are actually ready and willing to chew on crickets.

45 AUGUST 29-SEPTEMBER 4, 2012 | metrosiliconvalley.com | sanjose.com | metroactive.com

Bug Bites

“It’s culture-driven,” O’Neill says. “In most countries, insects are part of the diet. I was just in China last week. They have a variety of insects you can buy. In Mexico, they eat chapulines, which are grasshoppers. They put them in tacos. It’s just a normal thing.” O’Neill compares eating insects to sushi. Forty years ago, no one considered eating raw fish in the United States, but then a couple of sushi bars opened in big cities, mostly for traveling Japanese businessmen, and a few Americans tried it and liked it. Slowly but surely, eating raw fish became a normal part of the diet. Part of this transition was due to the California roll, which does not actually have any raw fish, but it helped make people become comfortable with eating sushi. O’Neill feels that Chapul bars will serve the same function for insects as the California roll did for raw fish. “We are introducing people to the concept of eating crickets,” O’Neill explains. “We’re trying to break down that psychological barrier by putting crickets in a familiar product, an energy bar. You’ve tried an energy bar. It has dates and nuts and chocolate. How bad can this be? Over time I think we can expand into different forms and different products.” Even the decision to use crickets was a calculated one. “The perception of a cricket is somewhat friendlier than the perception of say, a worm. Even if there’s the same protein content in worms, it would be a harder pitch,” O’Neill admits. The added benefit to using chirpers is that they are already produced on a mass scale for pet food. Chapul is able to choose from lots of different ranches and find people willing to ensure that their crickets meet certain standards. Chapul bars are available for pre-order on the company’s website at www.chapul.com. They expect to be able to fill orders by the end of August. The public got its first samples this past May at a fair at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles, and many passersby were pleasantly surprised. Chapul launched a Kickstarter fundraiser in June to raise $10,000 to open its own kitchen to bake bars on a larger scale. The founders exceeded expectations with a total of $16,065 raised. They hope to get Chapul bars in stores in the near future.

Perseverance

LIVE FEED Twitter.com/SVDining

HEF JUSTIN PEREZ is a patient and persistent man. And the Paciﬁc Ocean is a rather moist environment. To say that Perez, who runs Restaurant O Catering, has been through the wringer is a gross understatement. You think your life is tough? Consider what Perez has been through over the past decade:

747 S W Winchester inchester Blvd, #10 #100 00 San Jose, CA 95128 (408) 248-2838 http://pho24sanjose.com

In 2003, his former restaurant, MOVE OVER, JOB When it Buca in Campbell, came under legal comes to tribulations, chef attack from the Italian chain Buca Justin Perez is an expert. di Beppo for purported trademark infringement. Rather than undergo a costly legal battle, Perez changed the name of his restaurant to Restaurant O. Two years later, a and bleeding woman ran to Perez’s garage, fleeing from an abusive husband. Perez and his wife called the police. In the months thereafter, the woman’s husband, his brother and another woman firebombed Perez’s home. The experience traumatized Perez and his wife. The police finally caught up with the bomb throwers, and one of them is in prison for life. In order to keep a low-profile during the attacks, Perez closed his restaurant and operated a catering business. He re-opened Restaurant O in 2006 with a $30,000 remodel. That was after the deals to open a restaurant in Santana Row and the Hotel Los Gatos (where Dio Deka is now) fell through. A year after reopening, he learned that his landlord intended to sell the property for a senior-housing project. And just to keep things interesting, Perez also found out his best friend and director of operations had allegedly embezzled about $750,000 from the restaurant, putting him deep in debt and back taxes. And yet, Perez has maintained his sense of humor and humility. “It’s been one thing after another,” he said. “You have to laugh.” After losing his restaurant in Campbell, he resumed catering operations, this time working out of a huge space at La Hacienda in Monte Sereno. But all the while, Perez wanted to get back into a restaurant of his own. He is about to open a bigger Restaurant O in January. The restaurant occupies what was Wilson’s Bakery on Homestead Road. Of course, the road to opening night has been filled with potholes and near collisions. A dispute with the city of Santa Clara over a lowly grease trap added a year to project. Last week, Perez was hoping to open in November, but then city officials told him the grade of his parking lot was off a few degrees. That means he has to rip it up and pave it over again. He remains committed to the January opening. The 6,000-square-foot, 150-seat restaurant will offer a midpriced menu, a full bar, offsite wine sales and a take-out pastry counter. “We’re absolutely for sure going to open in January,” he said. If a meteor plummets from the sky and strikes the restaurant, I can imagine Perez wiping the dust from eyes, sighing deeply once or twice, then saying, “Oh well. Let’s move on to plan B.” But enough with the trials and tribulations. For God’s sake, God, or whoever throws one obstacle after another in front of Perez, lay off and let this man open his restaurant.—Stett Holbrook

metroactive FILM COMPLIANCE (R; 90 min.) If the acting in Craig Zobelâ€™s ďŹ lm were as powerful as the premise, it would be unwatchable. Iâ€™m trying to be careful not to reveal to much about the plot, but the true-life story was more than notorious enough. Dreama Walker plays the victim, Becky, and she may have the role of a lifetime here. She has to be an ordinary, nuancelacking girl with big eyes and an overbite who never suspects sheâ€™s being manipulated. The action is set in a fast food restaurant in Ohio during the season of slush. The staff is just getting through the shift when a man identifying himself as a police ofďŹ cer (Pat Healy) phones in. A customer has complained that a cashier ďŹ tting Beckyâ€™s description has stolen some money from her purse. The ofďŹ cer could come in and arrest Becky on the spot, but it might go easier on the girl if the manager could just search Becky for the money. And when the money isnâ€™t in her pockets, the â€œpolicemanâ€? suggests that perhaps itâ€™s concealed in her clothes, and away we go. During the six-hour or so ordeal that follows, various members follow orders from this so-called ofďŹ cer via the phone. Zobel does a worthy job of taking the erotic out of this movie by concealing Walker from

COSMOPOLIS

the camera during the worst of what happens. This brave and divisive indie movie offers us a shaming question: Why is it that we do what weâ€™re told in the Land of the Free? I donâ€™t think Compliance is an exploitative or a manipulative movie. But thereâ€™s something that screams inside you when youâ€™re watching to get on that phone and shout back at this voice of authority with its need to probe, to know. For a full-length review, visit Metroactive.com. (Opens Fri at Camera 3.) RvB)

(R; 109, min.) The unimaginably wealthy hypochondriac Eric Packer (Robert Pattinson) goes on his rounds in the near future, spending most of a long day traveling at parade-ďŹ‚oat speed through the city. Sometimes along for the ride: an art dealer (Juliette Binoche); Samantha Morton as a more astute oracle than the one she played in Minority Report, and Sarah Gadon doing an expert emulation of a Hitchcock blonde.

metroactive FILM heartthrob, now has a retro-futurist look, like those hair-oiled replicants on the cover of a Kraftwerk album. David Cronenberg’s talky but brilliant adaptation of Don DeLillo’s novel feels like the future, the way The Dark Knight Rises was supposed to feel. Cronenberg’s

gift, as always, includes a subtle and all-pervasive atmosphere of distortion and an oncologist’s sense of humor. The downside is that the theatrical element Cronenberg lent A Dangerous Method returns. The speeches sound too much like speeches. However, they’re urgent,

FLYING SWORDS OF DRAGON GATE (R; 121 min.) Two magniﬁcent, gorgeously colored and semicoherent hours of wuxia by the master Tsui Hark; it is a remake of/sequel to Tsui’s Dragon Inn (itself a remake of King Hu’s kungfu masterpiece). The secret police blighting the land in the Ming dynasty are countered by a daring outlaw (Jet Li), who introduces himself to an evil mandarin like so: “My name is Zhao Huai’an. But you don’t need to remember it. I’ll carve it on your cursed head so everyone will know who killed you.” After a shipboard ﬁght, the action shifts to the “black inn,” itself on the edge of a turmeric colored desert: it’s an ogre’s hangout near the semimystical ruined gates by a Xixian palace buried in the sands. The beguiling Lun-Mei Kwai, as Tartar princess called “The Grim Reaper” adds some modern day Whedonism to the typical swashbuckling modesty of Li and his swordsman allies. (Opens Fri at the Mercado 20 in Santa Clara.) (RvB)

LATE BLOOMERS (PG; 98 min.) See box on p53.

LAWLESS (R; 115 min.) A gang of bootleggers in Depression-era Virginia is threatened by a new deputy and his corrupt authorities, leaving the lawbreakers no choice but to make the law. Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf and Guy Pearce star. (Opens Fri.)

THE OOGIELOVES IN THE BIG BALLOON ADVENTURE (G; 88 min.) What did I just type? (Opens Fri at Camera 12.)

RED HOOK SUMMER (R; 121 min.) As always, Brooklyn is where the heart is in Spike Lee’s latest joint. A middle-class boy from Atlanta ﬁnds his worldview changed during a summer spent with his deeply religious grandfather in Red Hook. (Opens Fri at Camera 12.)

THE POSSESSION

IN THEATERS FRIDAY, AUGUST 31!

(PG-13; 92 min.) The Exorcist by way of a bar mitzvah, The Possession concerns a young girl who becomes, well, possessed after she comes in contact with a Dybbuk box, said by Jewish folklore to house a malevolent spirit. Staring Jeffery Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick,

better known, respectively, as “the man who dies in every movie he’s in” and “Kevin Bacon’s wife.” (Opens Fri at Camera 12.)

ﬁlm. (Plays Aug 30 at sundown in Redwood City at Old Courthouse Square.) (RvB)

SLEEPWALK WITH ME

(2001) The sing-along version. (Plays Aug 31-Sep 1 in San Jose at the Retro Dome.) (RvB)

(NR; 90 min.) More punny than funny. This American Life producer Ira Glass presents the underplaying Brooklyn comic Mike Birbiglia, who co-wrote, co-directed (with Seth Barrish) and stars in an adaptation of his one-man show. “Matt Pandamiglio,” a standup comedian, has three worries: a stalled career, a girlfriend (Lauren Ambrose) who wants to marry and have a baby, and, lastly, his own untreated sleep disorder. A little misbehavior is part of the ﬁlm (“Before I tell you this story, I want to remind you you’re on my side”), but Birbiglia’s passiveness gets lulling; Matt’s character is only shaped by his careerism, his willingness to drive long distances for underpaying gigs. There’s something about this underachiever that must bring out the maternal side of women, because he’s got a noteworthy supporting cast of them. It’s not just the lively Ambrose but also the bracingly odd Carole Kane, with a voice like an inebriated Betty Boop; Sondra James as the elderly, disinterested agent; and Kristen Schaal as a masochistic MC at a remote college. (Opens Fri at the Aquarius in Palo Alto.) (RvB)

Revivals THE CHALK GARDEN/ SEPARATE TABLES (1964/1958) Child star Hayley Mills snapped a streak of Disney movies by starring as the unmanageable adolescent who gets a new governess (Deborah Kerr). BILLED WITH Separate Tables. At an offseason hotel on the British seaside, despondent characters gather in an all-star Rattigan adaptation, starring Burt Lancaster, David Niven, Rita Hayworth and Deborah Kerr. (Plays Aug 29-30 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)

CITIZEN KANE (1941) The Orson Welles classic has recently made the news again, since being dethroned by Vertigo as the top ﬁlm in the Sight and Sound poll—a sign that romantic love is, today, considered more important than the fate of democracy. Welles’ still-astonishing drama of the rise and fall of a media baron (played by Welles) has some of the best talents in cinema history, all in the right place at the right time. If you’ve never seen it, it’s far more morbid than you’d expect for a studio-era

MOULIN ROUGE!

NILES FILM MUSEUM Sep 1: The Toll Gate (1920) starring William S. Hart. Plus Felix the Cat in “Futuritzy” (1928) and “Line’s Busy” (1924) with Billy West. Judy Rosenberg at the piano. (Plays Sep 1 at 7:30pm in Fremont at the Edison Theatre.) (RvB)

THE QUIET MAN/SITTING PRETTY (1952/1948) John Wayne in love, holding ﬂowers. He plays a retired boxer from Pittsburgh who has come back to Ireland to live. While there, he spies a country girl herding her sheep—she’s Maureen O’Hara— and, with typical John Wayne understatement, he murmurs, “Hey, is that real?” What’s all too real is the girl’s brother (Victor McLaglen), a Dickensenian bully. Winton C. Hoch’s 40-shades-of-green photography is landmark work, and director John Ford was fortunate to get to that part of Ireland in the instant before electricity and automobiles transformed the landscape. BILLED WITH Sitting Pretty. Clifton Webb plays a comically fussy baby-sitter. (Plays Sep 1-4 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)

SEVENTH HEAVEN (1927) A romance of below-working class Parisian lovers (Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell) struggling to survive; director Frank Borzage immerses the audience in a love affair that deﬁes death. (Plays Aug 31 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)

SHAUN OF THE DEAD (2004) In North London, it’s sometimes hard to tell the living from the dead. The comedy team of Nick Frost and Simon Pegg star as slackers swept into a plague of zombies. Zombie-O-Rama IV closes the summer with a major annual event: a zombie rally and pub crawl, with free movie and a canned food drive for Second Harvest. A make-up session starts at noon at Slave Labor Graphics at 577 S. Market St. A ﬂotilla of food trucks opens at 5pm, and a family-friendly young zombie rally starts at 6pm, followed by a fashion show, and music provided by Little Red Lung and Picture Atlantic. The ﬁlm shows at 9pm. (Plays Aug 31 at 9pm in San Jose at Valley Title Parking Lot, 322 S. First St.) (RvB)

THE BIG CHEESE Unforgivably overlooked, ‘Late Bloomers’ ﬁnally makes its long awaited premiere for one week only.

Garment District IT IS called “Trub.” It’s a village in cheesefarming Emmental, deep in the cuckooclock belt. Trub is so folkloric there’s an alpenhorn embroidered on theitown’s flag. Bettina Oberli’s wittily titled 2006 Late Bloomers, opening for a week at the BlueLight Cinemas in Cupertino, is a comedy that shows the downside of all that Swiss pastoralism. An acute form of Calvinism left its shadow on the land, and Late Bloomers has an unusual situation: What it would be like to be the mother of the town’s ornery minister and to be lectured at from the pulpit by your son? The local shopkeeper Martha (Stephanie Glaser) is in her 80s. She’s been a widow for nine months. She dresses in her best outfit when she goes to bed, in hopes she’ll be found dead in it. Her dyed, scandalous pal Lisi (Heidi Maria Glössner) offers to clean out Martha’s closet. There, Lisi discovers evidence of a forbidden past. Back when Martha lived in the city, she’d been a corsetiere, with hopes of opening a Paris lingerie shop. Why not start anew? Some of Martha’s friends discourage the plan at first: “What a fuss over clothes no one sees.” But it’s Martha’s hypocrite of a holy son (Hanspeter Müller) who expresses the

MIUM RUSH’ IS A FUN RIDE THAT ’S A COOL END-OFSUMMER TREAT.” -James Da F ro n tR o w s o n , w F e a tu re s .c o m

most outrage over an underwear shop in his village, with support from the unpleasant local political boss (Manfred Liechti). This charming Swiss entry into the Late Bloomers Oscars never got U.S. Unrated, 90 min. distribution, which is Opens Fri, hard to understand. BlueLight Late Bloomers frays a Cinemas, bit at the end, but this Cupertino wouldn’t hurt the film’s undeniable appeal to an older audience that can still read subtitles. The film shows as part of the new monthly International Film Showcase at BlueLight, put together by Jo Alice Canterbury and Efi Lubliner, a series begun at the landmark Orinda Theater in January 2011. “It’s a work of love,” Lubliner explains. “What we’re picking up is normal movies—not artsyfartsy type film—good films often based on a true story.” Lubliner grew up in different parts of Europe: “In Italy and Greece and Turkey, England—I saw Godard and De Sica, and Bergman, all subtitled. I’d like to share some of that experience. If I can share some of what I’ve seen on the festival circuit, that’s my payback. It’s better than a million dollars.”—Richard von Busack

SENSORY OVERLOAD Playhouse features wall upon wall of TVs.

A Nightclub for Sports THURSDAY evening: 11pm, and the night is a slow one at Playhouse, the new San Jose nightlife venue. Having opened in late June, Playhouse is still comparatively unknown to clubbers, but I’m grateful for the small crowd. It gives me the opportunity to do what I enjoy the most—sit around and sip a beer. Playhouse bills itself as a sports lounge, but from what I see, it’s more of a posh nightclub than anything else. Playground sits in the same building as the now-defunct Vault Ultra Lounge—a renovated twostory bank building. Gold upholstered couches line both sides of the first floor while a center staircase, upholstered in the same gold leather as the couches, rises to the second floor—a spacious balcony area with seating that overlooks the dance floor. The DJ stands in his corner on the second floor, spinning a dance-worthy mix of electronic music while two of the staff, women in gold-sequined dresses and platform stilettos, dance at the foot of the stairs, bobbing and jutting out their chests. Playhouse would be entirely nightclub were it not for televisions: Playhouse the greatest number of TVs I have seen outside of a Best Buy store—more than 21—cover every wall and 81 W. they’re all tuned to the X-Games on ESPN. Santa Clara St, San Jose Come midnight, business picks up. Muscular men in tees and jeans and women in curve-hugging cocktail dresses—San Jose’s classier and well-behaved version of Jersey Shore—arrive. They head straight to the bar for drinks and flag down the waitresses for $200 bottle services. The waitresses vanish for a few moments, then return, their arms heavy with trays of Grey Goose, shot glasses, juice and fruit chunks. The party spreads to the couches and tables, filling much of the first floor seating. For me, the night is ending, and I move toward the exit. Peering back, I spy the waitresses go-go dancing on the tables. Looks like it’s going to be one heck of a party.—The Barfly

THE BUSINESS OF STRANGENESS Stoner-metal Melvins offshoot Big Business play the Blank Club Saturday.

Big Business

Sat, 9pm,

PEOPLE LISTEN TO stoner rock for a lot of reasons, $10/$12 but not usually for the lyrics. But Big Business is no ordinary stoner band, as one might suspect with any Blank Club, band whose core members are also in the Melvins. San Jose In fact, drummer Coady Willis is in both Seattle punk band Murder City Devils and the Melvins right now, in addition to Big Business. Vocalist and bassist Jared Warren was in the Melvinsesque Northwest band Karp before graduating to the actual Melvins. In the last few years, Willis and Warren have added guitarists Toshi Kasai and Scott Martin, expanding their sound somewhat (though they’ve always had collaborators to back them up). Unlike the super serious sludge from most stony metal bands, Big Business’ lyrics have an indie-rock wit to them, and some actually sound like they could be pop songs, if they weren’t being hammered away at by a metal quartet. So yeah, in a lot of ways it’s like the Melvins franchised and Big Business were the ﬁrst takers—their speciﬁc strangeness is different, but the way they subvert every genre they touch in their approach is very much the same. –Steve Palopoli
