Live Shots: Sebadoh, Pine Wyatt, Jimmy Eat World, and Lower Case

Sebadoh, Pine Wyatt, Jimmy Eat World, and Lower Case
Nile Theater, Mesa
February 18, 1995

This ran in Phoenix New Times, Mar 2 1995

You’ve gotta love going to all-ages shows. Where else can you see people playing tag between sets or the vicious brand of circle slam-dancing that’s equal parts ring-around-the-rosey and Altamont? Though the body-checking youngsters seemed not to care where their limbs landed, it was a surprise to see at least half the crowd wearing Day-Glo earplugs. Real tough punks. Maybe they were saving the top end of their hearing for the evening’s headliner, Sebadoh. If so, they missed the other three bands, groups that produced some of the best sounds of the night.

Local power trio Pine Wyatt performs at many of the area’s all-ages shows, and is expert at keeping kids with short attention spans rapt. Like speeding up and slowing down. The band’s opener, “Dragon Shit,” had at least 22 tempo changes, and that’s a conservative estimate. That the band somehow managed to come back on beat most of the time is largely because of the sensational, shamanistic drumming of Peter Schmidt. Most front men in this town don’t utilize a tenth of Schmidt’s emotional gamut. In the band’s more frantic musical moments, when both guitarist John Hofmann and bassist Ryan Kennedy turned their backs to the audience to pull feedback duty, Schmidt may as well have been the front man, anyway.

Besides “Dragon Shit,” other high points included the Tom Verlaine-ish “Jewelry Spangled Suitcase” and a cover of They Might Be Giants‘ “Ana Ng.” The only weak spot in the set (besides the incessant guitar tuning) was an aptly titled second song, “So Long,” which seemed even more lengthy since it had no tempo changes whatsoever. That number, hopefully in a truncated form, will appear on a compilation CD to be released soon by the Tempe-based Wooden Blue label.

Already on Wooden Blue is the second act of the night, the Valley’s Jimmy Eat World, whose pile-driving hard-core/punk came across even more effectively live than on its ferocious, self-named CD. The disc’s The Wonder Years-style cover depicts an older brother ready to administer a burning head noogie unto his younger sibling; Jimmy Eat World’s set was like one long, burning head noogie. But who can’t use an adrenaline rush now and again? The band’s two singer/guitarists, Thomas Linton and James Adkins, displayed boundless energy, but released it in completely different ways. When Linton’s not anchored to the mike, spitting out, he’s pogoing and spinning around out of time to the music. Adkins merely bows furiously, like a Japanese businessman on speed.

After opening with an instrumental that didn’t quite work (and which included snippets of Smashing Pumpkins‘ “Greatest Day”–huh?), the band apologized to the crowd and got down to business. Songs like “Reason 346,” “House Arrest” and the new, unrecorded “Robot Factory” sounded political, but in an ambiguous, Pearl Jam sort of way. Linton’s aggressive snarls tended to dominate the lead-vocal chores, but it was Adkins’ wailing at the top of his range during “Usery” that provided both CD and live show with its finest moment. This boy can really sing!

You won’t find anybody making a case for Lower Case, a guitar-and-drum duo that was Sebadoh’s traveling companion for this leg of its tour. Bands without a bass player are nothing new; House of Freaks walked that same line years ago. But while HOF was a pop band that utilized sung melodies as a third instrument, Lower Case seemed nothing more than a mediocre noise band without a bassist. No one heckled, but quite a few people took Lower Case’s set lying down–literally catnapping in the back of the Nile.

To make matters worse, Sebadoh’s long-awaited set, the main event, well–it kinda sucked. The Sub Pop recording artists arrived in Phoenix right about when Pine Wyatt was starting its set–too late to properly sound check. “We drove nine hours to get here,” singer/guitarist Lou Barlow told the audience, “but I guess everybody drives nine hours to be here. It was really a beautiful drive.” Without telling anyone it was sound checking, the group lumbered through a listless 12-minute jam that sounded like Spinal Tap doing freeform jazz exploration. Hadn’t we already suffered enough with Lower Case? And for all of that noodling, the set was still riddled with annoying feedback and ground-switch noises.

Not only did Sebadoh’s song choices this night favor older, more obscure material, but the band’s set list completely ignored the entire first half of 1994′s stupendous album Bakesale, probably one of the most pop-perfect sides in recent memory. Judging from the crowd’s response to Bakesale treats (“Dramamine,” “Together or Alone,” “S. Soup” and “Give Up”), this was the big draw of the night. Yet those songs are not the disc’s strongest; Sebadoh inexplicably chose not to play–and ignored cries for–”Careful,” “License to Confuse,” “Not a Friend” and “Not Too Amused.” Worse, bassist Jason Loewenstein seemed unwilling to sing at all, preferring to yell all of his vocals like an enraged Adam Sandler.

But, gosh, it’s kind of hard to be mad at Lou Barlow. The guy looked like John Sebastian, sang sensitive songs about not going out and wore a yellow Cheerios tee shirt he “found in my parents’ attic.” Despite what the band can pull off in the studio, maybe Sebadoh is simply incapable of putting on a show that’s anything more than a glorified rehearsal. Before the last song, Barlow ‘fessed up to it being a lame show, saying, “We had a bad day. This was the best we could do. Thanks for coming, and come see us when we’re better.” Bad day? What happened to the beautiful drive?–

Hear Serene’s RPM Challenge album for 2010 streaming now

This February Serene took the RPM Challenge whereby he put the rest of his life on hold for 28 days and recorded a new album from start to finish entirely on GarageBand.  The resulting work Unnatural Blonde ( a song cycle based on the Alfred Hitchcock classic Vertigo) was actually uploaded to the RPM Challenge site a day early amidst many tearing up and sleep deprivation.

He is currently  re-recording some vocals and instrumental parts before releasing it to itunes in the fall, so if you want to hear it in its imperfect original form uninterrupted, the album can be streamed @ serenedominic.rpmchallenge.com and four of the tracks are available as free downloads.

Take A Look at Lizzy and Livingston in ‘Queens of Country’

Posted on 25 May 2010 by Conor O’Donnell in News. thefilmstage.com

Through the likes of small but notable film and television appearances, Lizzy Caplan (Mean Girls, Cloverfield, Hot Tub Time Machine) has made her way onto the radar. Pictures have popped up courtesy of The Playlist showing the eternally adorable actress getting her southern girl on in Queens of Country, “a quirky, southwestern-flavored comedy” directed by Ryan Page and Christopher Pomerenke. The two also co-wrote the screenplay alongside first-timer Serene Dominic.

Filming on location in Arizona, the film follows Jolene Gillis (Caplan), “the prettiest girl in a small Arizona town [who] finds an iPod filled with songs that speak to her sensitive heart.” Thus, Gillis embarks on a journey to find the iPod’s owner, thoroughly convinced that the owner is her certain special someone. Her journey is described as being wrought with “mistaken identities, ATVs, line dancing competitions, kidnappers, time machines and doppelgangers,” which should definitely embody that southern flavor.

The film is also set to co-star Ron Livingston (Office Space, Band of Brothers) and Joe Lo Truglio (Superbad, Role Models). Livingston always seems to exert an inexplicable and quiet charm on screen, and Lo Trugio’s appearances on Party Down should suggest at least some good chemistry between he and Caplan. No word on what roles their characters will play – Livingston is listed as Rance McCoy, and Lo Trugio’s billing as Penny/Jerry seems to suggest that the titular term “Queen” might be taken to heart.

As of now, the only other directorial titles under the belts of Page and Pomerenke are a handful of music docs, which doesn’t necessarily speak to their talents as feature filmmakers, but given the country western music influence in the synopsis, this still might be right up their alley.

Serene Dominic LIVE at the Icehouse Tavern SAT MAY 1st with Sweet Bleeders and TBA

Serene presents himself with a cheque for 10 million dollars during "Pinch Me."

Post Show Analysis.

Contrary to boasts on the Facebook events wall, Serene Dominic never ventured out on the skating rink anytime during his show at the Icehouse Tavern – Sloe Gin Fizzes were as close as he came to actual ice. But it was a fun show and the Sweetbleeders were pretty fab as usual. Robin Vining seems to be able to do it all -his multi-tasking puts us all to shame. Serene performed the Manalone Show for the first time in months and despite being out of practice he never stopped referring to himself  in the third person even once! Last night was also the first time  he used his work-in-progress Manalone painting as a prop and threw confetti during “Pinch Me.” Sorry about that Icehouse. Promise to bring a vacuum next time.

Also it was really cool that Leah Miller came to the show. Serene premiered “Me and My Big Heart” acoustically on her old radio show  many, many, many years ago. Possibly 10, more likely 12.

The Icehouse Tavern is located on 3855 East Thomas Road Phoenix, AZ 85018-7504 - (602)244-1179
