I know you got soul

This week's "Sunday Single" is a perfect hip-hop track for the summer. It's a song called "The Soul" by the local crew known as Another Rap Group. Check out the chilled-out keyboard lines and seamless yet relaxed rap flows. "The Soul" is from Another Rap Group's upcoming album, "They Call Us ...," which is set for release on Sept. 28.

Here’s a little more on Another Rap Group and their track:

ANOTHER RAP GROUP
Song: “The Soul”
Style: Hip-hop with positive and thoughtful vibes
Members: John “Ospis” Ochoa, Kendy “Aziaddict” Daranykone, Marshall “KomplexOne” DelosReyes
Influences: “All of the old-school, like Rakim and Big Daddy Kane,” says Ochoa. “We’re influenced as well by modern day people like Madlib, Living Legends and Nas.”
Story behind the song: “We met up with a producer that we used to go to school with,” says Ochoa. “He showed us this beat, and we we were like, ‘Oh damn!’ The song pretty much came out as soon as we heard it. That’s usually how we write songs: we let the beat dictate the song. If you just listen to the instrumental (of ‘The Soul’), it’s pretty deep. We’re talking about how music affects us.”

Stop the presses!

The most heshin’ book of the year just crossed my desk, and all I can do is blast some Motorhead on the iPod and grab a No. 2 pencil. I got a copy of the “Heavy Metal Fun Time Activity Book” by Aye Jay Morano. It’s something like Slayer meets Scholastic Books, with puzzles and brain games that are designed for the devil horns set. It’s hours of rainy day fun with such activities as “connect the dots and color Dimebag Darrell’s goatee,” “heavy metal Sudoko” (think: lots of 6-6-6 combinations) and “connect the moles to find out who this member of Motorhead is.”Morano is also behind the “Gangsta Rap Coloring Book,” which was released in 2004 and featured Sacramento’s own Brotha Lynch Hung with dagger in hand. Kids, have those Crayons handy?

Look for the “Heavy Metal Fun Time Activity Book” to be released in September. But I’ve got to go now: I’m trying to finish the “black metal band word scramble.” Let’s see, nmoev = venom …

Nooooo!

That's the cry you'll be hearing from the Disney Channel set. The Jonas Brothers just postponed their show that was set for the Crest Theatre on Wednesday night, but it will be held on Jan. 2. No word as to why these brothers pushed back their concert, but all tickets for Wednesday will be honored at the make-up date. Whew!

In other concert news - and parents of Jonas Brothers fans listen up - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform on Oct. 26 at Oakland's Oracle Arena. No word yet on a possible Sacramento date, but tickets for The Boss' show in Oakland go on sale Sept. 15, so start saving your pennies (more like Hamiltons) right about now.

Final concert tidbit - and this is for the older brothers and sisters of Jonas Brothers fans - Jimmy Eat World is coming to UC Davis' Freeborn Hall on Oct. 14. Ticket information should be coming soon.

It's a new day

Welcome back to another week of musing on music. Don’t know about you, but last week was straight hectic, what with two shows in three days at the Sleep Train Amphitheatre (Marilyn Manson/Slayer and Warped Tour). So yeah, the amphitheatre was like a second home and I think even some of the cows in the surrounding farmland are starting to recognize me.

I pretty much laid low on Friday night, and the musical highlight of the night was watching the Heaven & Hell “Radio City Music Hall Live!” concert on VH1 Classic. For the un-metal hordes out there, Heaven & Hell is essentially the Black Sabbath line-up with Ronnie James Dio on lead vocals. I know it’s sacrilegious for some to think of Black Sabbath sans Ozzy Osbourne, but the Dio era of Black Sabbath cranked out its own metal classics: “Neon Knights,” “Mob Rules,” and the great teenage wasteland anthem, “Children of the Sea.” I’m not ashamed to admit that I still play Black Sabbath’s “Live Evil” album a little more than I should, and wanted to check out Heaven & Hell when they came to San Jose a few months ago. Turns out that Heaven & Hell is playing Konocti Harbor on Sept. 29, but dunno if I’m going to make that trek.

But I got some metal right in my face on Saturday night at the Blue Lamp. Will Haven was celebrating the release of its new album, “The Heirophant,” and I got a spot right in front of guitarist Jeff Irwin. This was the first time I’d seen Will Haven since Jeff Jaworski (Red Tape) took over as lead singer, and the band was just crushing. For a minute there, I thought the headstock on Jeff’s guitar was going to knock me in the head. But I was really feeling this show. Will Haven does metal-core just as good, if not better than anyone. No wonder they’ve got such a big fanbase in Europe. Abe Cunningham, drummer from the Deftones, was also at this Will Haven show and showing his support. Earlier this year, the Deftones took Will Haven to Europe for some shows and Abe said that the two bands had a blast. Sounds like they partied it up, Sacto. style. But the Will Haven gig was the perfect catharsis after a crazy week, even if my ears really took a beating at this show.

By the way, I like to write the occasional non-music related piece and one of those ran yesterday. It’s a narrative story about Nate Barrell, a 32-year-old guy from Greenhaven who’s a survivor of Stage 4 colon cancer. Nate’s really been fighting the good fight and is just an all-around cool dude. When I wasn’t interviewing him and digging into the past year and a half, we’d sometimes just hang out and talk about music. Anyone who can quote lyrics from N2Deep’s “Back to the Hotel” or E-40’s “Tell Me When to Go” is more than cool by me.

It takes two

The local indie-rock band Two Sheds is led by the husband and wife team of Johnny and Caitlin Gutenberger. And the two are set to release a new 7” single, with the San Francisco band Dame Satan on the flipside - and “Sunday Single” has a preview of Two Sheds’ latest song. Read more about Two Sheds and “No Place” in today's Ticket+ section.
Here’s a little taste of what Two Sheds and its song are about:

TWO SHEDS
Song: “No Place”
Style: Indie-rock with a taste of twang
Influences: Pavement, Beck, Led Zeppelin
Story behind the song: “A lot of my songs are about my family, and I was missing my sister,” says Caitlin Gutenberger. “She was in New York and I was bummed out. And I was also thinking of another friend that moved to Los Angeles. So it’s a sad and lonely for friends kind of song.”
See them: Sept. 8 at the True Love Coffeehouse (2315 K St.)

Warped Tour 2007, was nice knowing ya

Well there’s been a scheduling change. As I Lay Dying’s set got pushed up a half-hour, and the band So They Say will be the final Warped Tour act. So that means I’m pretty much done, that is well done. Like everyone else out here, I got cooked pretty good out there, and if the Sacramento area sees a spike in Gatorade sales tonight and tomorrow, the Warped Tour may be to blame. I’m also curious to see how today’s truancy rate shaped up. The Warped Tour was later in the summer than years’ past, and for many teenagers, this was a school day. The Warped Tour was offering discounts to people who bought tickets after 3 p.m. and with a student ID, but I wonder how many kids just blew off school. Wouldn’t that be the punk thing to do, anyway?

But this last stretch of Warped Tour had the crowds pretty amped. Sure, just about every Bad Religion song sounds the same (and such is the case for the previously mentioned Pennywise), but the Bad Religion’s 6 p.m. set turned into mosh mania in the audience. Flogging Molly closed down the Lucky Stage with that Irish-punk whirlwind that had the crowd kissing the Blarney Stone, in a Warped Tour sort of way.

But now it’s time to get back to Sac. I could really use a shower and maybe an IV drip of salt-water solution. The Warped Tour itself has just two more shows before calling it a year, but stock up on that sunscreen because you can bet it’ll all be back in 2008.

Time to get chill

I wasn’t kidding about the overpriced pizza. This square-sized slice of Papa John’s pizza I got cost $8, and a bottled water was $3. What a bargain! Sarcasm aside, I found a nice spot to get a quick break from the sweaty masses. I’m up at the very top of the amphitheatre’s lawn seating, and I’ve got practically the whole area to myself. (This spot has also brought me the best wireless Internet connection of the day). The lawn can hold up to 10,000 at a concert, and it’s about the size of three football fields. Way down below, I can see Bless the Fall getting all screamo for maybe 300 folks. And I can also see cars starting to stream out of the parking lot. It’s actually starting to feel pleasant outside, now that a breeze is kicking in. I’m planning to stick this out for another hour or so. Next up: Flogging Molly on the Lucky Stage.

As I Lay Headlining

A couple of vendors are breaking down their booths, and the Warped Tour is slowly winding down. As I Lay Dying, the metal-core band from San Diego, has the distinction of being the last band to play all day. They’ll go on just before 8 p.m., but a headlining spot is a dubious honor.

“By the end of the day the kids are burnt out, no matter how good your set is” says guitarist Nick Hipa. “The choice spots are between 2 and 4. It’s the middle that’s good. But we’re still having fun. Like anything else in life, it’s what you make of it. I’ve had the chance to check out a bunch of bands. It’s still cool to be a headlining act.”

The Warped Tour may have peaked during Sum 41’s set. The crowd was packed out and singing along while the skaters rolled back and forth on the nearby ramp. The trash is also reaching critical mass. The cleaning crew out here has plenty to sweep up: band fliers, water bottles, beer and lemonade cups.

But for now I’m stoked on Agent Orange’s set. Listening to the legends of SoCal hardcore was like a trip back to high school, when I was blasting “Bloodstains” in my room and mad at the world for no particular reason. It was cool to see a bunch of youngsters in the pit, moshing along and paying respect to these o.g. punkers.

Now it’s time to check out Bad Religion – and maybe grab some food. All this Warped Tour action is working up my appetite. Overpriced pizza, here I come!

Pennywise and a surprise

The day’s ultimate skate-punk moment just went down. Mike Vallely, the burly skateboard legend, jumped on stage with Pennywise to sing a cover of Black Flag’s “Nervous Breakdown.” Then after he was done, Vallely lept off the stage with his skateboard and rode back to the ramp.

The mosh pit swirled extra hard during all this. But Pennywise kept the slam dancers busy and bruised throughout the remainder of their set. It wasn’t the longest set: most Warped Tour bands get 30 mins. on stage, so everyone really has to hit it before quitting it. There’s no time for extended jams or too much bantering with the crowd. Everything’s got to be to the point, like the ends of a spiked bracelet.

Pennywise is pretty much the perfect Warped Tour band. They’ve graced the soundtrack of many a surf and skate video, the music’s like a non-stop adrenaline drip and they’ve got those “whooooa-oh-oh-oh” choruses that get the skater dudes and dudettes singing along.

The action is becoming a little too much for some people. The lines at the medical tent are stretching a dozen deep, with folks trying to get water and sunscreen, and a couple people look like they were being treated for some heat exhaustion. I’m feeling their pain. I just downed a red Powerade in record time. That did the trick, right in time to catch Fishbone playing the great second-wave ska anthem “Party At Ground Zero.”

The buzz right now seem to be for Sum 41, the pop-punk band that’s going on in just a few minutes. I wonder if Avril Lavigne is around here, sipping on a Jamba Juice or $4 cup of lemonade. She’s married to the singer of Sum 41. Time to check it out …

Sk8 or die

The skateboard ramp is going off right now, with a dozen or so skaters ready to drop in at any given time. Some of them are sticking some pretty nice tricks: kickflips to fakies, lots of frontside airs, even some handplants. Judges are also on stand-by, and will pick some skaters to participate in a contest later in the day. One of them may be Sam Books of Cameron Park, but at the moment he’s just trying to beat the heat and grab a spot in the shade, energy drink in hand.

“The metal on the ramp is really slick,” he says. “But some people are using it to their advantage. My signature trick is a crailslide. It’s where you go over the lip of the ramp, place the tail on the edge, reach over and grab the blunt nose of the board and drop back in. It’s not complicated but it looks cool.”

By the way, Sam says that the best skatepark in the Sacramento area is the new one near Power Inn Rd. Drop by and maybe he’ll show you how to do a crailslide.

It's getting hot in here

I'm sitting near the heart of the Warped Tour, not far from the Chiodos merchandise booth and the skateboard ramp. It's pretty packed out here, but hope nobody's neck tattoo starts melting. Patches of shade are the biggest commodity right now, and yikes, I'm looking at a girl who's got a gash and wiping blood from her face. Did she get knocked in the mosh pit, or what?

Bands seem to be playing in all directions, like a cacophony of overdriven guitar tones and kick drums. There's tons of stuff to see out here, from Lucha Libre wrestling, to the merchandise booths and bands just about everywhere. Pennywise - remember them from Plan B sketaboards "Questionable" video? - are going to be playing in a bit. Now it should really be getting gnarly.

Made it

Greetings from the Warped Tour. And the operative word of the day: hot. It feels like a zillion degrees, what with all the blacktop and afternoon scorch here at the Sleep Train Amphitheatre. Right now, this big Slip N' Slide near the entrance is a big hit around here. And I'm feeling for all the emo kids dressed in all black today. They'll really have something to mope about now.

Getting out here wasn't too bad, save for the small accident that held up traffic for a it on I-5 north. One thing I like about these all-day festival deals is that people don't arrive all at once, so getting a parking spot doesn't take too long. BTW, looks like a fire is burning a few miles away from here. Maybe the Bee's Metro section will have some coverage on that.

The first order of business is to find a stage schedule - and then load-up on some water. I already feel like I'm turning into a giant salt lick.

Pre-Warped

Let's run through this list again:

Notebook - check
Laptop with Aircard - check
$$$ for food and drink - check
Sunscreen - oops, better make a pit stop.

I'm just about set to head to the hinterlands of Yuba County, where the Warped Tour is popping at the Sleep Train Amphitheatre. Call me old school, but I'm mostly looking forward to seeing Fishbone and Agent Orange at Warped Tour. I'm sure the younger set will really be digging on Tiger Army, Chiodos and Sum 41, but we'll see. My inner skater-boy is also looking forward to some cool kickflip action on the halfpipe ramp.

OK, time to jet. I'll catch you all in a few ... \m/

Grinding away

Whew, this is one hectic week and just have a second to post. I'm wrapping up a couple of stories that are running this weekend, including an interview with Jenni Rivera, the star of Mexican banda music. I'd looked forward to talking with Jenni since I read about her in the book "Narcocorrido" by Elijah Wald. Jenni's known by a bunch of different nicknames, including "La Maladrina" (the bad girl) and "La Chacalosa" (the jackal) and crafted an image that's like a female mob boss of Mexican music. She performs on Saturday at the State Fair, and check out my interview with her in Friday's Ticket section.

I'm hoping to sneak in a quick nap this afternoon before I head to the Marilyn Manson/Slayer extravaganza tonight at the Sleep Train Amphitheatre. My buddy Stan, who was my partner-in-heshing when Slayer came to Sacto. earlier this year, is coming for a second round of Slaytanic entertainment. \m/

But right now I'm completely shook on the new M.I.A. album, "Kala." Any album that references the Pixies, New Order, Baltimore Club music and Bollywood tunes over a single disc is good by me. But that's enough jabbering for now, because it's time to finish that Jenni Rivera story.

Moving forward

If Sacramento has an equivalent of Goo Goo Dolls, then the local band This Day Forward is it. The band’s song "Frenzy" is this week’s “Sunday Single,” and it’s a breathy style of alternative-rock that sounds just about as good as anything you’ll hear on commercial radio. Here’s more about the band and its song:

THIS DAY FORWARD
Song: "Frenzy"
Band Members: Kevin Royer (vocals/guitar), Jason Miller (drums), Scott Allen (bass/guitar/vocals)
Style: Alternative-rock and pop, for fans of Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox 20 and other bands you’ll hear on The Zone (KZZO FM 100.5)
Story behind the song: “‘Frenzy’ was Kevin Royer trying to take a negative experience and turn it into something positive. And the best part about it? It worked. The song continues to evolve and do great things for us. It was (our) first song to reach the airwaves thanks to Monica Lowe and 100.5 The Zone. An acoustic performance of the song lead to Kevin Royer’s admittance to UCLA music school as a sophomore transfer.
“‘The most attractive aspect of ‘Frenzy’ is how our listeners react to it. With every pair of ears that ‘Frenzy’ reaches, different perspectives on the meaning of the song are presented. What started as something basic has become multi-dimensional and dynamic.”
See them: This Day Forward performs on Thursday at the Onyx in Roseville (116 Main St, Roseville).

Butterscotch's got talent

Got off the phone a little bit ago with Antoinette "Butterscotch" Clinton. And for those of you not keeping score at home, Butterscotch is a beatboxer from Davis who's reached prime time. Butterscotch is a finalist on "America’s Got Talent," the TV show that's like a cross between "The Gong Show" and "American Idol." The winner, who will nab a cool $1 million and a lifetime of bragging rights, will be crowned on Tuesday night (8 p.m. on Ch. 3). All I can say is that if Butterscotch gets beat by that puppet/ventriloquist act, well, it’s not going to be pretty.

But Butterscotch is on track to be an overnight millionaire, if you believe the judges’ comments. Our local gal has floored everyone week after week with her mix of beatboxing, singing and piano playing – sometimes all at once. Check out the YouTube clip to see her in action. There’s still some stiff competition, including that puppet and a singer named Julienne Irwin.

What’s on Butterscotch’s mind as the final showdown looms? Check Tuesday’s Scene section for an interview with her. And even if she doesn’t nab the grand prize, chances are that you’ll be hearing plenty more from her soon.

My name is Jonas

This show might not mean much to you, but if you've got a pre-teen kid or nephew/niece, chances are they'll flip out when you say this: The Jonas Brothers are coming to the Crest Theatre on Aug. 29. The pop-rock band is a huuuuge favorite of the Disney set, and plan on these teenage siblings to headline Arco Arena next time around. Want to know what you're in for? Check the YouTube video above.

Tickets for the Jonas Brothers cost $34.50 plus service charges - a nice chunk of any allowance. For more information: (916) 442-7378 or (916) 766-2277 (Tickets.com).

Not so rocking

This just in: Sunday’s Rock the Bells concert at the Sleep Train Amphitheatre is canceled. Sounds like only a few hundred tickets had been sold thus far, and at that pace the 18,500-capacity amphitheatre sure would’ve looked empty come Sunday.

The San Francisco edition of Rock the Bells is still a go for Saturday at the McCovey Cove parking lot, and promoters of the show just released another 5,000 tickets. Wonder why ticket sales were so slow for Sacramento? Take a look at everyone who’s playing in San Francisco, but wasn’t scheduled for the Sleep Train Amphitheatre’s Rock the Bells: Rage Against the Machine, Nas, Public Enemy, the Roots – and that’s just for starters.

Ticket refunds are available at the place of purchase.

Stockton Boulevard

"Sunday Single" is always big on songs that give shout-outs to local landmarks. And this week’s song is an ode of sorts to one of south Sacramento’s signature streets, a place where Mexican carnicerias, rows of low-rent motels and the shadow of the old Florin Mall all share space.

"Sunday Single" takes a cruise down "Stockton Boulevard," courtesy of the local country and rockabilly group Stars & Garters. Here's more about the band and its song:

STARS & GARTERS
Song: “Stockton Boulevard”
Style: Country with a raw, punk attitude; goes best with a tall can of Pabst and a forearm tattoo.
Influences: Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Ramones
Sample lyric: “‘Never again’ is what she said/‘Never again’ is what I swore ... And I knew I couldn’t stay away (from) Stockton Boulevard.”
See them: Sept. 13 at the Speakeasy Lounge (117 J street, Old Sacramento)

Warning: band geek on board

Ah, it seems like it was just yesterday that I was marching around a football field with horn in hand, trying to stay in formation with a perfect “8 to 5” step size. Yes, I was a big-time band geek back at John F. Kennedy High School, and also spent the summer of 1987 marching with the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps. Playing with SCV was some of the most intense times of my teenage life. We’re talking 12-hour rehearsal blocks during the summer, sleeping on gym floors and competing around the country. I can practically feel the mosquito bites and shin splints just thinking about it.

The reason I’m blabbering about all this drum corps stuff is because the Drum Corps International World Championships are going down this week. And it’s happening at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena – the first time these drum corps championships are being held on the west coast.

For those who can’t make the trip to SoCal, the quarterfinals competition will be broadcast on Thursday at 4 p.m. at the Natomas Marketplace Stadium (3561 Truxel Rd.). I’m still trying to get a last-minute trip going for Pasadena, but in case this doesn’t come through, I’ll likely watch that quarterfinals screening with popcorn in hand.

By the way, that picture above shows the Cadets, a nine-time world champion of drum corps. And one of those championships came in 1987, when the Cadets beat me and my Santa Clara Vanguard for the title by a mere one-tenth of a point. Never mind that the Cadets curiously scored perfect percussion marks, even though one of their drummers dropped a stick. Really, I’m not bitter! OK, maybe a little …

Back in the saddle

Hellooo Sacramentoooo … it feels good to be back in the River City. Not that I didn’t have a blast in Miami last week – and yes, the ol' iPod was playing much MC Shy-D, Poison Clan and DJ Laz while I was out there – but I don’t miss the icky sticky weather out in the 305 area code. It seemed like a summer thunderstorm burst down about every other minute and the overall humidity was at rainforest-like levels. Guess I’m a NorCal dude through and through. I’ll take the dry heat and a Delta breeze any day.

A chunk of my time in Miami was spent on the staff at J Camp, a very cool camp for high school journalists. We were housed at the University of Miami, where a lake in the middle of campus had an “alligator warning” sign and little lizards scurried all over the sidewalks. We learned the finer points of organizing stories and doing the “chicken dance” (really), took a field trip to the Miami Herald and ate many a ‘tater tot in the dining hall.

I was in charge of an online group that wrote stories, encoded video and audio and blogged for a Web site we cobbled together – that’s when everyone wasn’t trying to sneak onto their Facebook page. But my group – a.k.a. “Chris’ cowbells” – was a great bunch, and had very cool musical taste. We listened to everything from the Kinks to Lil Mama’s “Lip Gloss,” and YouTubed the Saturday Night Live “more cowbell!” sketch that parodies “Don’t Fear the Reaper” by Blue Oyster Cult. I also played “Hair of the Dog” by Nazareth to give another example of great cowbell moments in rock music.

But now I’m back in Sac, opening mail and getting back into the writing groove. I missed a few big shows when I was gone – Linkin Park/My Chemical Romance, Nas/Ludacris and Rush – so anyone want to fill me in? But the next few weeks are about to go buckwild with concerts, including Marilyn Manson/Slayer, the Warped Tour and Rock the Bells. And I shouldn’t need a rain poncho at any of them …
