Awkward Gawker I saw you checking out the competition. I felt your beady eyes on me and turned in your direction. You sank into the seat of your Jeep when you had to stop unexpectedly so I could cross in front of you in the Lucky’s store parking lot. All I saw after that was those beady eyes and fat, puffy cheeks.

Kobe Curry serves small plates with Japanese inﬂuences.

Secret Sauce

WELL-TRAVELED DISH, curry has enjoyed a history of global exposure. The British Navy discovered the South Asian spiced stew during their rule of India in the mid-19th century. They later brought curry to the Japanese in the early 1900s. Just as the British sailors loved curry, the Japanese people grew to, as well, and today curry enjoys recognition as a national dish in Japan. Kobe Curry in Mountain View serves a short menu of curries and handful of Japanese small plates. The restaurant, which currently serves a weekly special, also advertises that guests can expect new menu items. Situated among several other busy restaurants along Castro street, Kobe Curry operates from several patio tables in front of Shabuway. A folding blackboard on the sidewalk serves as the restaurant’s only signage and it can be very easy to walk past the eatery without realizing it. Kobe Curry makes their signature curry with aged Kobe and Angus beef the restaurant sources direct from Niman Ranch, which abstains from using hormones. The curry is available plain with rice ($8) or with chicken cutlet, pork cutlet, sausage or beef ($9.50). The gyoza and Japanese fried chicken were tasty small plates—perfect alongside a light Japanese beer such as an Asahi. My order of gyoza was pan fried to a perfect crisp on one side, yet disappointingly overly cooked and chewy on the other. The fried chicken arrived with the surprising companions of lemon wedges and spiced mayo—both added an enjoyable kick of ﬂavor. The curry, available mild or hot, was a blend of the familiar smoky spice one would expect with Indian food. The hearty sauce is stewed with mushrooms and bites of tender Kobe beef. The beef did have a distinct, deep ﬂavor one would expect from high-quality meat. I enjoyed the breaded chicken cutlet which arrived as a generous portion across a bowl of rice— the curry served on the side to be poured over the dish. Crunchy on the outside yet tender inside, the chicken strips were delicious for dipping into the spicy curry stew. Served alongside the cutlet, a garnish of pickled radishes and onions added a surprisingly sweet crunch to the dish. Unfortunately, the popular green tea crème brûlée was no longer available on the night I visited but this leaves me with a good incentive to return next time I have a craving for curry.—Jeff Cianci KOBE CURRY 180 Castro St, Mountain View. 650.967.4728. kobecurryus.com

Walk On

INDOW SHOPPING can become even more of a leisurely activity when it’s paired with wine tasting—perhaps that’s why many Bay Area towns stage wine walks. Downtown Mountain View hosts its second annual Wine Walk on Thursday, Aug. 14, 5:30-8:30pm inviting visitors to drop by downtown merchants to sample wines as well as bites from local restaurants. The event features more than a dozen wineries from around Northern California, including from the Santa Cruz Mountains and Livermore Valley wine regions. Among the participating wineries: Fenestra, Guglielmo, Loma Prieta, Muns Vineyard, Chateau Marie Antoinette, Three Arches and Terra Savia (all the way from Hopland).

Tickets are $30 in advance/$35 cash at the door. For more info, visit mountainviewdowntown.com.

Food Fight

OTHING LIKE some friendly competition to spice up a festival. Not only does the fourth annual Silicon Valley Food and Art Festival feature multicultural cuisine and chef demos, but also an amateur chef contest. The event takes place Aug 17, 2-5pm, in Cupertino.

Food writers, nutritionists and health experts will weigh in on cooks’ culinary skills in the cooking competition. The festival is presented by Ding Ding TV. And from among the dishes from around the world, guests can sample foods from China, India, Italy, Sri Lanka, Iran—and of course, the United States. The festival emphasizes healthy dishes. The art component of the festival comes with the entertainment: Chinese and Indian music and dance. Admission is free. For more info, call 408.244.8883. —Heather Zimmerman

AT THE AGE OF 7 Francisco Graciano already knew he wanted to be an artist. The East Side San Jose native ﬁgured that out when he handed his second-grade classmate a drawing he’d done—a cartoon character he’d created after carefully studying his uncle’s “stash” of comics. “Seeing his reaction is what convinced me,” Graciano says. By many measures Graciano has achieved his goal. He is able to support himself mostly through his art these days and he has a solo retrospective show, “Ex Post Facto,” opening this weekend ‘Ex Post Facto’ at Empire Seven Studios in San Jose’s Japantown. But getting to this point took gumption, hard work and Aug 8-Sep 12, Wed some luck. & Fri: 12-6pm, In the years following that fateful day in second grade, Sat: 12-4pm people in his life attempted to persuade Graciano to Empire Seven Studios, pursue something more practical. Art school is expensive San Jose, Free and even for those who can afford steep tuitions, making empireseven it as an artist is hard—especially in the South Bay. studios.com Many galleries turned down Graciano in his early years, but that didn’t phase the budding artist. When one gallery passed on his work, he decided to put on his own “guerrilla style” show—right outside the very same gallery. At the time, Graciano was making wire sculptures out of discarded copper clothes hangers. He placed the “human insects,” as he calls them, around the gallery. And soon, he was installing his little sculptures everywhere, arranging them so that they interacted with the environment. One hung from a telephone wire, while another wrapped around a public telephone handset, as if it were placing a call. These wire sculptures ultimately convinced officials at the San Francisco Art Institute to give him a scholarship to the prestigious school—a gift Graciano hadn’t asked for and did not see coming. “I just wanted to check out the campus,” the artist says, recalling the day he visited the Art Institute and asked for a tour. After having a look around, he ended up showing his portfolio, which included the “human insects.” That was a Thursday. On Saturday Graciano got a call from admissions informing him that they were awarding him a full scholarship. He started school that Monday. Much of Graciano’s work contemplates boundaries created by government and private property owners and the ubiquity of advertising in our society, he says. His wire ﬁgures were meant to simultaneously draw attention to these boundaries, as well as serve as metaphors for the constant “bombardment” we face every day. “On a daily basis we are advertised to—even if we don’t want to be or don’t know it,” he says. The exhibit will feature Graciano’s painting, sculpture as well as a sound design piece, which he aims to perform during the show’s opening reception, Aug. 8, from 7 to 11pm. Graciano is a longtime musician and used to serve as a percussionist in the Whiskey Avengers. After working for so many years at his art, Graciano says it’s incredibly validating to be holding a solo show. “It’s a great feeling,” he says.—Nick Veronin

TURN DOWN FOR WHAT Jerry Roslie, lead singer of the Sonics, always loved the sound of overdriven amps: â€œI liked that it sounded kinda meanâ€”like you meant business,â€? he says.

Loud and Proud THESE DAYS WHEN a rock band wants distorted guitars or an overdriven vocal, they can simply kick on a stomp box or apply a digital effect to the mix. But back in 1960, when the Sonics were ďŹ rst developing the gritty sound that would come to be known as garage rock, there was really only one way to get that fuzzy toneâ€”they had to crank up the volume. â€œWe got asked to turn down a lot,â€? Jerry Roslie, the groupâ€™s lead singer and keyboardist, recalls from his home in Tacoma, Wash., where the Sonics formed, and where he is currently taking a break before hitting the road again on a brief West Coast tour that will bring his band to The Blank Club on Aug. 13.

The Sonics Wed, Aug 13, 8pm The Blank Club, San Jose $30-$35 theblankclub.com

Back in the â€™60s no one was used to such loud, grungy tones, he says. â€œSo we said, â€˜OK. Weâ€™ll turn it down,â€™ and then we didnâ€™t.â€? It simply wouldnâ€™t have felt right if they had acquiesced and heeded the protests of club owners, Roslie explains.

â€œItâ€™s just the way it sounded good to us,â€? the singer continues, elaborating on his bandâ€™s preference for the loud and the rough. â€œIf we played things lighter, it felt like, â€˜Aw â€Ś Letâ€™s sit down on a chair.â€™ Itâ€™s no fun. We liked to get up there and sweat a little bit. We donâ€™t play any real spectacular, top-of-theworld jazz notes. Itâ€™s all feeling and all high energy.â€? Indeed, the energy of the Sonics holds up. Their classic versions of garage rock staples â€œLouie Louieâ€? and â€œHave Love Will Travel,â€? as well as originals, such as â€œStrychnineâ€? and â€œThe Witch,â€? have proven inďŹ‚uential in the decades since. The sounds pioneered by the Sonics can be heard in the proto-punk of Iggy and The Stooges, the muddy tones of Nirvana and in contemporary garage revival acts like Thee Oh Sees. Just as the Sonics inďŹ‚uenced many bands that followed, they too drew on inďŹ‚uences of their own. Roslie says his favorite two piano players were Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard, and it shows. Roslie says he was inspired by the frenetic piano playing and caterwauling vocal styles of both men. He and the Sonics only took that to its logical next step by turning the volume up to 11.â€”Nick Veronin

CONCERT

BONE ZONE Funk/punk legends Fishbone will headline the SoFA Street Fair next month.

SoFA Resurgent AFTER MORE THAN a decade’s absence the SoFA Street Fair is back. With more than 50 local, regional and national acts on three outdoor stages and a variety of other San Jose venues, the music and arts festival is set to return on Sept. 14. Longtime community organizer and SoFa Street Fair co-creator Fil Maresca, is excited for the return of the festival, and not only because he anticipates it will be a blast. According to Maresca, the “reupholstered” SoFA Street Fair marks a “genuine rebirth” of the SoFA district. And that bodes well for the vitality of San Jose’s arts scene.

SoFA Street Fair Sep 14, 12-8pm, Free 300 block S. 1st St., San Jose c2sv.com

“There was a long time when SoFA was struggling,” Maresca says, noting there were lots of empty storefronts and vacant sidewalks. The South First Area Committee, a committee of the San Jose Downtown Association, dwindled.

But now, with the tech boom surging, Café Stritch booking diverse and interesting shows and South First Fridays drawing large crowds each month, “things have changed,” Maresca says. “There’s a there there now. SoFA is a destination now. It hasn’t been like that since the ’90s.” The SoFA Street Fair will feature a wide variety of musical acts and other attractions. Los Angeles-based funk/punk band Fishbone will headline the fair. San Jose band Insolence will reunite with original bass player Paul Parry, and a bevy of other bands, artists and vendors will ﬁll the streets.—Nick Veronin
