LIVE
MUSIC SPOTLIGHT: WHITE STRIPES
August 18 @ THE GREEK
The poster children
for the mono movement are taking over one of the best venues in L.A.
to rock out in the way that only they can. Jack and Meg White are a
formidable duo, if not a dynamic one. The looped simplicity of Jack’s
guitar is complemented by the incredibly basic beats that Meg lays down,
her bass drum becoming a punch in your chest for the entire set.
This band has come to the forefront, in the last few years, of what
it truly means to be part of the counter culture and successful all
at once, earning them the right to be an "It" band. They put
on quite a live show and, if nothing else, you get to check out Jack
White dressed up as either a pirate or a 1920s’ movie star, depending
on how you perceive his absurd outfits.
Catch the White Stripes as they play August 18 at the Greek. For more
info, visit www.greektheatrela.com.
TIM
HAWKINSON
August
19 @ LACMA
While King Tut may be the more popular transcender of death this summer
at LACMA, Tim Hawkinson does it with much more pizzazz (and fewer long
lines). More obsessed with the entropy of his body than Farrah Fawcett,
Hawkinson seeks to understand the fleetingness of life by contorting
his image in ways Michael Jackson only dreams of. In his signature piece
(but not his Signature piece – we’ll get to that in a moment),
Hawkinson covered his body in latex, carefully peeled it away, inflated
it, and hung it from LACMA’s ceiling like some naked wraith looking
down on the entire exhibit. As to not get lonely, an inflated chicken
skin flutters nearby.
Hawkinson’s art lies somewhere between the work of a mad scientist
and that of a fluxus virtuoso (still completely unreformed) – but
wherever it is, the plane is one of genius. How someone would think
of showing the imperishability of life by turning their toenail clippings
into a minute bird skeleton, hair into a cracked egg or – look
carefully in the corner – a cobweb, makes your mind giggle, but
soul appreciate that the body, too, lives on after death.
The exhibition’s best exploration of time, however, is with, as
supposedly should be expected, clocks – but unlike anything you’ve
seen before. Ingenious in their simplicity, Hawkinson mutates a toothpaste
tube, Coke can, manila envelope and hairbrush into clocks, the hands
of which are made up of – look closely – the dried toothpaste
crust, the can’s tab, the envelope’s brads and, most amazingly,
two small pieces of the artist’s hair. Everything is an emblem
of time ticking away.
Celebrating life, Hawkinson also reduces himself to a simple machine,
in the kinetic sculpture Signature – a turntable on a school desk
ceaselessly inscribes the artist’s own signature as a mountain
of papers build up around it. I tried to sneak a blank check into the
machine for Hawkinson to sign, but was told that’s not what the
artist intended. I responded that the whole exhibit reeked of postmodernity,
and we can’t ever be sure what the artist intended, but, no, security
told me escorting me out, we indeed could.
LACMA is located at 5905 Wilshire Blvd., in Los Angeles. Museum hours:
Mon, Tue, Thu noon-8 p.m., Fri noon-9 p.m., Sat and Sun 11 a.m.-8 p.m.,
closed Wed. Price: adults $9, students 18+ with ID $5, admission is
free the second Tuesday of every month and evenings after 5 p.m. For
more information, call (323) 857-6000 or visit www.lacma.org.
LIVE
MUSIC SHOWCASE: THE USED
August 20 @ GIBSON AMPITHEATRE
A
quick note: This is going to be a great show. Though their most recent
record has gone mostly unnoticed, the style popularized by the Used
is the basis for a lot of the rock we hear today. Bert McCracken’s
strained vocals recall Kurt Cobain’s angst, with a dash of the
last decade thrown into the mix. The complementary moments of total
poppiness and guttural screaming are what make the Used worth checking
out.
Arrive early to this show and check out the Street Drum Corps, a group
akin to the best drum circle you’ve ever witnessed. Trust me, you
won’t be disappointed.
Catch
The Used perform at Gibson Ampitheatre. For more information, visit
www.hob.com
COLDPLAY
@ VERIZON
WIRELESS
Say
what you will about Coldplay: they are formulaic, they are rip-offs
of [insert Radiohead, U2, etc.], they put their politics ahead of their
music, or whatever insult is popular against the British mega band this
week, but there is one thing that is undeniable, Coldplay rocks. With
a keen eye to their older records, they treat audiences to selections
from their entire catalogue, creating a show that is larger than life
in every respect. Last time they rolled through L.A. they blew audiences
away with a light show that echoed their epically simple sound –
bright and straight-ahead, yet elusively beautiful.
The standout tracks from their latest album, X&Y, will surely make
their way onto the set-list as well. The stirringly introspective yet
sweeping "Fix You" alone will be worth the price of admission,
to hear Chris Martin woefully croon on his inability to repair his lover’s
heart once it has been broken. Also, "Talk," a tune that combines
the best of Coldplay’s acoustic songwriting style of albums past
and their new direction into the world of electronic keyboards, is worth
getting up and dancing along to.
All in all, these are shows that people will be talking about for the
rest of the summer, so make your way down to Irvine and check out at
least one of them.
Catch
Coldplay August 21 at the Verizon Wireless Ampithetre. For more information,

METAL
SKOOL @ THE KEY CLUB
It might be hard to take Metal Skool seriously, with their dead-on portrayal
of a quintessential ‘80s hair metal band. Serious or not, though,
they have taken over the Sunset Strip and become the biggest resident
act since The Rocky Horror Show.
To
Metal Skool, the show is all that matters. This probably grows out of
the fact that they don’t play any original songs and haven’t
put out any records. That aside, the experience that is a “Metal
Skool Monday” at the Roxy is one not to be missed. From naked girls
to Guns N’ Roses covers, their shows are always an insane event
to behold.
Shows often end up more like parties and less like concerts, where die-hard
fans show up trashed and in costume – an experience which includes
the crowd in conjunction with Metal Skool’s performance. There
are even weekly traditions, such as midget surfing, where a midget crowd-surfs
from the stage to the back wall.
Catch Metal Skool at the Key Club August 22. For more info visit www.keyclub.com.
ZOOLANDER
Tuesday, August 23 @ Santa Monica Pier
The
popular "Santa Monica Drive-In at the Pier" has returned yet
again and, as it is nearly the middle of August, the two-month-long
series featuring free films every Tuesday night is really just getting
underway. There is a whole month and a half of films left to go and,
on Aug. 23, the series will feature a special on-the-pier screening
of the hilarious Ben Stiller hit Zoolander.
In the film, which costars Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell and Christine Taylor
(Stiller’s real-life wife), the titular dimwitted male model (Stiller)
breezes through the fashion world by banking his success on one ridiculous
facial expression. Things begin to change, though, when Zoolander gets
caught up in a plot involving murder, manipulation and other sorts of
mayhem. Stiller also serves as director on the film, for which he created
the main character.
Doors for the free event open at 7 p.m. and the screening begins approximately
at 8 p.m. Donations are encouraged, with money going to Arts Fighting
Cancer’s "Cancer Relief Fund." Refreshments are available
for purchase, and comfy folding chairs (or you can bring your own) are
available to rent for $5.
The Santa Monica Pier is located two blocks south of Santa Monica Boulevard
at the corner of Ocean Avenue and Colorado Boulevard. Screenings are
held in the parking lot on the far south side of the pier. Free tickets
required for entry are available at all five LAcarGUY locations and
Santa Monica Visitors Centers. For more info visit www.smff.com.
DODGERS
VS. ROCKIES @ DODGERS STADIUM
August
5 @ The Greek
Going
to a ball game is always fun for everyone involved, even those who can't
take watching sports on TV. The crowd, the atmosphere, the Dodger Dogs,
it's an experience that always gets filed away in the good memories
drawer afterwards. Bring your dad and you mitt for any stray fly balls,
and you're good to go.
Watch as the Dodgers take on the Colorado Rockies Sunday, August 24
at Dodger Stadium. For more information, visit www.dodgers.com.
