SUMMARY:Drunken Master and Police Story 2 at UW Cinematheque
DESCRIPTION:Emerging from a mid-1970s sea of Bruce Lee imitators\, Jackie Chan quickly established himself as a singular talent\, directing his own films and leading a highly disciplined stunt team. Infusing the martial arts genre with his Chinese opera training and a willingness to put himself in physical danger\, Chan stood out as an innovator.\n\n \n\nLoosely based on a Chinese folk hero\, Drunken Master is one of the first films that let Chan’s goofy underdog persona shine. Creating new fighting styles for each of his films\, director Yuen Siu-Tin opted for entertainment value over realism\, creating the perfect showcase for Chan’s agility and comic mugging.\n\n \n\nPolice Story 2 shows a refinement of Jackie Chan’s personal style\, creating a vehicle perfectly tailored to his physical skills and underdog persona. Though he wisely didn’t try to top the first film’s death-defying finale\, Police Story 2 has plenty of incredibly dangerous stunts and intricate fight choreography. —Ian Adcock

SUMMARY:Rooftop Cinema: The American Sector at Madison Museum of Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:Rooftop Cinema returns to the sculpture garden atop MMoCA on State Street for a 17th season\, now on Thursday nights in August. The outdoor series\, which has showcased everything from experimental animation to concert films to offbeat narratives\, now shifts its thematic lens towards a four-film slate of personal documentaries. Courtney Stephens and Pacho Velez’s The American Sector (2020) kicks off Rooftop’s 2022 programming here. The succinct 70-minute film is a fusion of travelogue\, political documentary\, and art appreciation\, as the co-directors capture sections of the Berlin Wall that have been reappropriated and displayed in over 75 locations across the United States\, from Fort Benning to Vegas. Based on Velez’s prior work with slow cinema ethnographic fiction Manakamana (a 2014 Wisconsin Film Festival selection)\, expect a distinctive eye for detail and resonant commentary on American values. —Grant Phipps

SUMMARY:Good Corners\, Jonathon Millionaire at Dark Horse ArtBar
DESCRIPTION:Lawrence Gann played drums for the sparkling\, dry-witted Madison band Labrador\, but lately he’s shifted his attention to a solo project called Jonathon Millionaire. Gann’s husky voice (somewhere in the neighborhood of Jawbreaker’s Blake Schwarzenbach\, but less grizzled) gives his songs a downtrodden heft on the album Unlimited Growth Potential\, forming a sharp contrast with the bright layers of guitar and driving\, almost playful drums and bass. Gann refines that approach further on a recent single\, “Chrysalis\,” a song that captures the feeling of being stuck in place but still offers hope for what’s ahead. For this show\, the live version of Jonathon Millionaire will be Gann on guitar and vocals\, Ben Strohbeen on bass\, and Craig Hoffmann on drums. Opening things up is Good Corners\, the duo of John Hitchcock and Ryan Lansing\, which uses pedal steel\, synths\, and eerie samples to create entrancing landscapes of spacey twang. This show also celebrates the opening of Pushed To Abstraction\, a group art show of work from Hitchcock\, Samie Laine Scott\, Jason Levy\, and Evan Bradbury. —Scott Gordon\nChrysalis by Jonathon Millionaire

SUMMARY:Deterioration\, Czarbles\, Mellow Harsher\, Ferity at Mickey's Tavern
DESCRIPTION:Czarbles has been a homegrown treasure since releasing its self-titled debut album in 2006\, and this will be the trio’s first show since 2020. Guitarist Mark Sauer\, drummer Jeff Sauer\, and bassist Matt Skemp play instrumental rock of almost maddening complexity\, but they’ve dwelt so long in the minutiae of odd time signatures and contorted phrasings that the music becomes catchy\, flexible\, mischievous\, compact\, and improbably approachable. Speaking of compact\, Czarbles’ most recent album\, 2015’s Nausea Trois\, clocks in at just over 12 minutes. Stoughton’s Mellow Harsher\, playing here to celebrate drummer Goatlord’s birthday\, has achieved something of a legendary status for its delightfully punishing grindcore. Madison hardcore band Ferity and Minneapolis grindcore outfit Deterioration further enhance this evening of heavy menace. —Scott Gordon \nNausea Trois by Czarbles

SUMMARY:A League Of Their Own at Memorial Union Terrace
DESCRIPTION:Though the film may have caused the first stirrings of feminist ideology in a generation of impressionable athletes\, its combination core as a pure baseball comedy is what has made it stick. A League Of Their Own tells the mostly-fictionalized account of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) in its prime. As Major League Baseball players continue to get shipped overseas as soldiers for WWII\, the businessmen of the American dynasty quickly notice the faltering profits. They eventually land on the novel idea of a professional women’s league to fill the time and their pockets.\n\n \n\nDirector Penny Marshall and screenwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel meet viewers with the familiarity of America’s Pastime to ease some into the fact that women can be ballplayers\, actually. It also wouldn’t be the dramedy of resilience that it is without its acknowledgment of the barriers women faced in the 1940s\, especially those who stepped outside the boundaries of the home when the war made it essential. —Alisyn Amant

SUMMARY:Rooftop Cinema: Poly Styrene: I Am A Cliché at Madison Museum Of Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:As with years of recent Rooftop Cinema past\, the outdoor series tends to favor an annual explication of an iconoclastic musician or groundbreaking movement in punk or the avant-garde. Past year’s selections have included Tony Conrad: Completely In The Present in 2019 to Desolation Center in 2020. This year’s Poly Styrene: I Am A Cliché is a multifaceted portrait of the titular British-Somali poet and vocalist (born Marianne Elliott-Said)\, who fronted X-Ray Spex in late 1970s London. \nWhile Poly’s DIY flair for fashion and distinctively defiant punk rock influenced riot grrrl acts in the 1990s and Afro-punk in the 2000s\, this documentary ultimately revolves around a family affair\, as it’s co-directed by the famed singer’s daughter Celeste Bell (with increasingly prolific documentarian Paul Sng). \nIn the opening seconds of the film\, Bell considers a question that’s often asked of her about Poly being a good mother. Over the course of 90 minutes\, Bell attempts to answer and reconcile the faces of public and private life. In reconstructing and retracing Poly Styrene’s artistic roots through artifacts that predate Bell while simultaneously sifting through early memories (or those made in her absence) as a child\, this biography documentary becomes a surprisingly psychological and uncommonly comprehensive look at identity. —Grant Phipps

SUMMARY:The Pursuit of Happiness Sessions at McPike Park
DESCRIPTION:The Sessions at McPike Park series kicks off its 2022 season with The Pursuit of Happiness\, which serves as a sizable festival unto itself. This being an outdoor music fest on the east side\, there’s a heavy emphasis on international acts and Americana—the Madagascar-born Razia Said and Mekon-turned-outlaw-country artist Jon Langford are among those with top billing here. The lineup also works in some great offerings from Madison’s own music community. Sunday on the Chicory Stage\, for instance\, includes a performance from Leslie Damaso and Mr. Chair\, combining their interests in Filipino art song and far-flung jazz\, and jazz pianist Johannes Wallmann\, playing behind his new album Precarious Towers. —Scott Gordon

SUMMARY:Desert Liminal\, Jennifer Hedstrom\, Loveblaster at Communication
DESCRIPTION:Madison duo Loveblaster’s debut single\, “The Need To Fail\,” has an arresting tension at work underneath its minimal\, gentle surface. I’m not sure why a band with that sort of name is channeling the sounds of Low (circa Things We Lost In The Fire or thereabouts?) rather than burly cock-rock\, but we are all the better off for it. Abigail Self (vocals\, bass\, piano) and Marley VanRaalte (vocals\, guitar\, drums) create vocal harmonies that linger between warmth and desolation\, atop ringing chords and plodding drums. Neal Jochmann of Combat Naps and Able Baker will join them on sax at this show. Loveblaster plans to release a second single\, “Watching You Change\,” next month. They share the bill here with Chicago dream-pop voyagers Desert Liminal and Madison singer-songwriter Jennifer Hedstrom. —Scott GordonThe Need to Fail by Loveblaster

SUMMARY:Mantis at Café Coda (7 and 9 p.m. showtimes)
DESCRIPTION:From Scott Gordon’s feature on Mantis’ self-titled debut album: “Mantis gives us a prolonged listen to the more aggressive side of Madison baritone sax player Anders Svanoe’s playing. Bassist Brad Townsend and drummer Nick Zielinski match him with bountiful dimension and texture. On ‘Intersection\,’ both Svanoe and Townsend lean into their instruments at angles of maximum friction—sharp squeals we don’t often associate with the baritone (Svanoe loves making it sound not like a baritone)\, bowed bass swells that evoke a rusty-hinge door swinging back and forth. The jaunty handclaps on the next track\, ‘Skedaddle\,’ sound almost sinister in context.”  \nMANTIS by Anders Svanoe

SUMMARY:Able Baker\, Null Device at Memorial Union Terrace
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Elly Fine. \nIt would be nice to see more shows in Madison that reach across genres and generational lines\, like this bill with Madison synth-pop veterans Null Device and the much younger Able Baker\, a band that’s been really finding its voice on a series of punchy but tender indie-rock tracks. Null Device recently finished up its eighth album\, The Emerald Age\, and plans to release it this fall. The album will open with an already released single\, “Flags\,” which captures the band’s gift for ominous moods and suspenseful hooks. The track is an industrial-tinged reflection on the corrupt\, fascist politics that pervade our historical moment\, offering both a lament and a challenge—”When it all comes down / What kind of people will you fight for?” the chorus asks. But at the same time\, it’s committed to the clean lines and bold gestures that make a good pop song tick. The chance to hear more new work from Null Device\, plus the dynamic and assured live sets Able Baker has been playing lately\, should make for a lovely night on the Terrace. —Scott Gordon \nFlags by Null Device

SUMMARY:Creature From The Black Lagoon at Memorial Union Terrace
DESCRIPTION:Though by all accounts\, it’s the campy embodiment of the creature-feature genre\, Jack Arnold’s original Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954) stands out in WUD Film’s summer programming lineup at Memorial Union Terrace as the oldest and most classically distinguished selection. Natural horror and sci-fi invasion adventures ruled the day through the 1950s\, first finding an audience with Christian Nyby’s The Thing From Another World (1951)\, which yielded one of the all-time great remakes in John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982). But\, can Nyby’s film claim to have inspired two official sequels and a short-running musical? I think not. \nWhile the rubbery\, amphibious “Gill-man” himself isn’t terribly frightful and the dynamic between male scientists on land leaves something to be desired\, the fluid underwater diving and stalking sequences\, actually directed by James C. Havens\, are beautiful to behold. They surely must have inspired a young Steven Spielberg at the time\, who went on to make the thrilling cinematic event of the 1970s in Jaws (1975)\, which spawned too many imitators to even account for. (Without Creature\, there also wouldn’t be 2018 Best Picture winner The Shape Of Water.) In all cases\, the original visions have stood the test of time. And screening to a lively audience sprawled out on the Terrace\, Creature From The Black Lagoon can perhaps serve as a gateway to a budding horror historian or enthusiastic young filmmaker. —Grant Phipps

SUMMARY:Johannes Wallmann And Precarious Towers at Jazz at Five
DESCRIPTION:From Scott Gordon’s feature on Johannes Wallmann’s new album\, Precarious Towers: “On Precarious Towers Wallmann records for the first time with a quintet lineup of people he’s played with before but not in this exact configuration—Sharel Cassity on alto sax\, Madison’s John Christensen on bass\, Milwaukee’s Devin Drobka on drums\, and Mitch Shiner\, also of Milwaukee on vibraphone. For all that’s new here\, there is also a sense that he wants to focus on the fundamentals\, roots he’s never exactly departed from but wants to examine in a close\, intentional way. It’s a good chance for both Wallmann and his listeners to ask what it all means from today’s fractured perspective.” \nPrecarious Towers by Johannes Wallman

SUMMARY:Kiki's Righteous Session at McPike Park
DESCRIPTION:One of Madison’s most cherished and enduring venues is the Far East Side-ish basement of tireless music fan Kiki Schueler’s house. The general vibe of Kiki’s House of Righteous Music—lots of twangy and/or rocking acts of various stripes\, a healthy embrace of the occasional sonic wildcard\, and a devotion to local acts—gets an airing out in this recurring summer collaboration with the Sessions at McPike Park series. The 2022 edition of Kiki’s Righteous Session begins with The Low Czars\, a Madison cover band that digs skillfully into the back pages of power pop\, garage rock\, and R&B. Jason Narducy (lately of Bob Mould’s unstoppable power trio) plays here in his ferociously catchy solo project Split Single\, behind the 2021 album Amplificado\, and Nashville’s Aaron Lee Tasjan closes things out. On a second\, smaller tent stage\, jazz guitarist Bill Roberts will be playing with his combo in-between the main-stage bands. —Scott Gordon \n \nPhoto by Emily Steadman.

SUMMARY:Lee Bains + Glory Fires\, Loamlands\, Rocket Bureau at Dark Horse ArtBar
DESCRIPTION:“You’re not you anymore” goes the refrain of “Not You\,” the second track from Rocket Bureau’s 2021 album Middle Angst. This increasingly sums up the spirit of Madison musician Kyle Urban’s (of The Motorz\, The August Teens\, and many other sturdy rock ‘n’ roll bands) ongoing solo studio project: The euphoric hooks of expertly crafted power-pop slamming into walls of disillusionment\, guitars blaring away irrepressibly as the lyrics contemplate the moments in life when novelty wears thin and purpose gets muddled. The album reprises “Terrified\,” the powerful lead-off track from Rocket Bureau’s 2015 release Low Times\, High Anxiety. “I’m petrified of how the world surrounds me\,” Motor sings on the chorus\, giving listeners a full perspective on the vulnerability behind the brightly overdriven armor. The live-band version of Rocket Bureau (Urban and Josh Labbus on guitars\, Dan Bornemann on bass\, and Paul Kennedy on drums) opens up here for the blistering but always thoughtful Alabama band Lee Bains + Glory Fires\, whose latest album\, Old-Time Folks\, came out earlier this month. —Scott GordonMiddle Angst by Rocket BureauPhoto: Rocket Bureau.

SUMMARY:Mariupolis at Leopold's Books Bar Caffè patio (following Ukrainian fundraiser dinner)
DESCRIPTION:Excerpt from Grant Phipps’ recent article about Sam Brown’s outdoor movie series at Leopold’s: Apart from the Herzog-Kinski features\, Brown has also been hosting fundraising events that include monthly Ukrainian dinners that benefit the international nonprofit World Central Kitchen. The next one\, on Monday\, August 22\, at 5 p.m.\, is coupled with a patio screening of the documentary Mariupolis (2016) by director Mantas Kvedaravičius. The Lithuanian-born Kvedaravičius was killed this past April during the Russian siege of Mariupol shortly before the Cannes premiere of companion film Mariupolis 2. Brown cites the efforts of producer Anna Palenchuk\, founder of the Kyiv-based 435 Films\, for helping make the 8 p.m. screening possible.

SUMMARY:Orton Park Festival at Orton Park (August 25 through 28)
DESCRIPTION:Orton Park Fest reliably brings some rock ‘n’ roll kick to the East Side summer festival season. This time around\, that aspect of Orton includes a chance to see Disq (Friday\, 7 p.m.) as the band ramps up toward the October release of its latest album\, Desperately Imagining Someplace Quiet. Right now Disq’s next Madison show on the books is in December\, so take advantage. But also come back for the multi-faceted pop charms of The Periodicals (Saturday\, 5 p.m.)\, the bittersweet jangle of Proud Parents (Sunday\, 1:30 p.m.)\, and plenty more sounds from Madison and beyond. —Scott Gordon \nJournal of Love by The Periodicals \n\n\n Illustration by Shaysa Sidebottom.

SUMMARY:Rooftop Cinema: The Village Detective: A Song Cycle at Madison Museum Of Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:Excerpt from Maxwell Courtright‘s review: As any nonfiction filmmaker who’s working with celluloid material must acknowledge\, distinctions between truth and fiction are fraught in the Russian film archive. The Village Detective: A Song Cycle director Bill Morrison notes how staged footage from the third anniversary of 1917’s October Revolution is sometimes treated as footage of the original event; earlier\, Morrison details how the 1917 American film about the death of Rasputin\, The Fall Of The Romanoffs\, co-starred and was guided by Rasputin’s real-life rival Iliodor. This may give a clue as to why Morrison focuses even more than usual on the imperfections of this source material (the original\, recovered 1969 film The Village Detective)\, with several stretches of his film almost Brakhage-like in their splashes of rusty waves that obscure all identifiable figures for minutes on end. This is unvarnished\, a more true” presentation of a film that Morrison belatedly acknowledges exists in other\, cleaner formats; history sits inescapably on the image’s surface.

SUMMARY:Mad Lit DJ Block Party at 100 block of State Street
DESCRIPTION:Last year\, the inaugural Mad Lit series set aside a night to celebrate the DJs in particular—always a solid plan for a series that showcases the many elements of hip-hop. This year Mad Lit is doing it again\, so hopefully the DJ Block Party will become an annual staple. For this installment\, DJ Dee Franko and DJ Spade will join one of Madison’s true homegrown hip-hop heroes\, multi-platinum producer DJ Pain 1. The dancers of Madison’s Hitterz Collective will be on hand to make sure the movement is just as varied and enthralling as the music. —Scott Gordon \n \n Illustration by Shaysa Sidebottom.

SUMMARY:Def Sonic\, Uncle JIM\, Heavy Looks at BarleyPop Live
DESCRIPTION:Following the releases of “Get Away From Me” and recent single “Big Boi\,” Heavy Looks will be releasing a digital version of Apathy on September 25. This show will likely serve as some sort of soft release party for the power-pop mainstays\, while folk-pop act Uncle JIM and Def Sonic—who has delivered enormously impressive live sets as of late—will round out the lineup. Together\, the three acts constitute a remarkably balanced bill that’s not beholden to a genre or aesthetic\, making it an incredibly enticing live prospect. Sometimes the fastest way to live it up is to mix it up\, and this presents an opportunity worth seizing. —Steven Spoerl \nApathy by Heavy Looks

SUMMARY:Rooftop Cinema: North By Current at Madison Museum Of Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:Angelo Madsen Minax’s deeply felt documentary North By Current (2021) is tethered to unraveling a family tragedy as much as it is a family itself. Much like Poly Styrene: I Am A Cliché\, which screened as part of Rooftop Cinema a few weeks ago\, the filmmaker introduces their work by conjuring a long-internalized question to explore personal history. “How did you become who you became?” Minax asks\, his voice stretched thin. There’s a contemplative confidence in his words\, and yet his tone is exasperated\, as he anticipates the confrontation of present reality and past relationships in returning home to the snowy stretches of rural Grayling\, Michigan. \nWhile dealing with the broad fallout from the sudden death of niece Kalla (his sister Jesse’s infant daughter) and a police investigation that rules it a homicide\, which dredges up other familial woes surrounding addiction and abuse\, Angelo also grapples with Mormon parents who reject his gender transition and artistic identity. In scenes that are both illuminating and devastating\, complemented by Julien Baker‘s abstract and reverb-heavy score\, North By Current interweaves a poetically splintered autobiography with a meditation on the filmmaking process. —Grant Phipps

SUMMARY:The Dig In at East Side Club
DESCRIPTION:Every so often\, Madison will play host to a solitary quasi-fest that’s too big to be considered a regular show and boasts a lineup too enticing to miss. On Saturday\, September 3\, The East Side Club will be notching in another instance of this mega-bill structure with “The Dig In\,” featuring five bands and a DJ—WORT Production Director and longtime Madison music staple Aaron Scholz—who will break up the interstitial setup/tear-down times by spinning an assortment of records. Other highlights on the bill include alt-Americana stalwarts Free Dirt and the mesmeric ambient-folk artist Def Sonic\, who has been booking aggressively in Madison and reliably delivering genuinely memorable sets. Redshift Headlights\, a fuzzy\, post-punk-indebted act from the Fox Valley\, will be making a full-band appearance\, as will the dry-witted and disarming singer-songwriter Nick Brown and inimitable new-wave weirdo Educational Davis. —Steven Spoerl \n \nPhoto by Steven Spoerl.

SUMMARY:Poopshovel\, Moonboot at High Noon Saloon
DESCRIPTION:Poopshovel\, playing here for the first time in almost 30 years\, has a proud place among a crop of ’80s- and ’90s Madison bands that combined noisy aggression with a whole lot of smart-assed commentary and just as much eccentric style. (Other standouts in that vein included Appliances-SFB and of course Killdozer.) Throw on the band’s first album\, 1989’s Opus Lengthemus\, and you’ll hear guitarist Richard Whitaker punctuating his riffs with squealing pinch harmonics and singer Bill Crawford going off on trumpet runs between deadpan stream-of-consciousness verses\, while drummer Pete Kaesberg and bassist David Kovalic create big\, driving grooves. The band is probably best known for its over-the-top Packers anthem\, “One Pass Away” (from 1991’s I Came\, I Saw\, I Had A Hotdog)\, but there are plenty of other bizarre gems where that came from. —Scott Gordon

SUMMARY:PUP\, Palehound\, The OBGMs at Sylvee
DESCRIPTION:PUP is shown mid-performance at 7th St. Entry in Minneapolis\, MN during a set from September 2016. Photo by Steven Spoerl. \nNo one needs to relive the relative absence of live\, in-person music that took place during COVID’s first year and a half. For some of us\, present company included\, losing that particular routine was immensely draining. PUP’s current tour\, aptly titled Thank Fucking God (the Sylvee’s censored marketing version be damned)\, feels especially potent as an antidote to those times. And not just because my lifeline for live music over that period largely consisted of repeatedly watching PUP’s Live In The K! Pit. That particular video capture easily stands as one of the most immersive live documents I’ve found for my preferred show setting: crowded\, sweaty dive bars with wildly high levels of crowd reciprocity. It’s perfectly PUP. \n\nLive In The K! Pit also serves as a reminder of the last time I saw PUP\, a 2016 show at Minneapolis’ 7th St. Entry in which I wound up onstage\, crouched down and clinging to a PA monitor while trying to maintain balance to film\, ultimately getting nearly choked out by a showgoer swept up in a mosh pit who grabbed the back collar of my shirt for support. At the end of that set\, the band had to help organize a lost-and-found swap for broken glasses and separated shoes among the several audience members who wound up missing personal effects. Even though some of those items proved unrecoverable\, the elation among the bruised\, exiting crowd was palpable\, thanks to a characteristically blistering show capped off by PUP’s raucous headlining set. \n\nTo my ears\, PUP is one of an exceedingly small handful of punk acts who could challenge for the best discography of the past 10 to 15 years but their recorded output still doesn’t quite match their electric live show. If anyone needs more proof of either claim’s legitimacy\, a Sylvee show where the openers are also reliably excellent live acts (Palehound and The OBGMs) should be a solid way to find out. —Steven Spoerl \n

SUMMARY:Blindspotting (2018) at UW Cinematheque
DESCRIPTION:Carlos López Estrada’s welcome debut\, in collaboration with co-writers and co-stars Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal\, feels a lot like a feature-length version of the first season of the FX series Atlanta (but in Oakland here)\, as it challenges systemic societal problems like wealth inequality\, racial profiling\, and masculine posturing with a sharply humorous and humane narrative. \nWhile Blindspotting (2018)’s more heavily scripted encounters begin to amass in the latter half\, pulling attention away from the indisputable chemistry between Diggs and Casal (as longtime best friends Collin and Miles\, respectively)\, the film continues to characterize the co-stars’ charisma with impressive hip-hop freestyles. They feel so authentically impromptu and energetic\, even when tied to the less thrilling narrative framework. \nGiven the aforementioned allusion to Atlanta\, Estrada’s film was fittingly adapted for a TV series of the same name with executive producers Diggs and Casal returning. Premiering on Starz in June of last year\, it expands upon the experiences and agency of Ashley (Jasmine Cephas Jones)\, Miles’ partner in this original film; and a second season is set to premiere next month. \nResist gentrifying re-branding\, but do try that new standard vegan burger at Kwik Way. —Grant Phipps

SUMMARY:Punks Picnic at Lake Farm County Park
DESCRIPTION:Madison band Venus In Furs hosts this annual outdoor potluck of feisty music and family-friendly hangs. This year’s 11-band lineup includes Madison duo Mhos & Ohms (6:40 p.m.)\, who released a new album\, Crypsis\, in August. Drummer-vocalist Tony Leskinen and guitarist Jeremiah Wunderlin churn up a bleak yet atmospheric take on post-punk\, resourcefully layering guitar figures to create a sense of itchy unease on “Stream of Misery.” There are welcome reminders of Unwound in the eerie syncopated attack of closing track “Tried To Solve\,” leaving plenty of room for the dissonance to ring out under Leskinen’s harsh-edged vocals. Other sets throughout the day include VIF (4:40 p.m.)\, Cats On Leashes (2 p.m.)\, and Sons Of Atom (5:20 p.m.). —Scott Gordon \nCrypsis by Mhos & Ohms Illustration by Shaysa Sidebottom.

SUMMARY:Ethan Philion's Meditations On Mingus at North Street Cabaret
DESCRIPTION:Chicago jazz bassist Ethan Philion and collaborators play here behind the new release Meditations On Mingus\, which revisits eight of bassist-composer Charles Mingus’ compositions in all their elaborate detail and bristling grandeur. The album focuses on Mingus works that make the most overt references to struggle and social injustice\, opening with “Once Upon a Time There Was a Holding Corporation Called Old America.” \nPhilion leads a 10-piece band that includes: trumpeters Russ Johnson and Victor Garcia\, saxophonists Rajiv Halim\, Geof Bradfield\, and Max Bessesen\, trombonists Norman Palm and Brendan Whalen\, pianist Alexis Lombre\, and drummer Dana Hall. The ensemble is not only up to the technical quirks of Mingus as a composer—his penchant for pushing instruments outside of their usual pitch range\, jaggedy swarms of criss-crossing trumpet\, trombone\, and sax phrases—but also inhabits the beauty and fury that make the work feel so powerful and fresh today.  \nAs bassist and bandleader\, Philion admirably pulls off challenges like the introductory solo to “Hatian Fight Song\,” and closes things on a note of joy with “Better Git It In Your Soul\,” the opening track of 1959’s beloved Mingus Ah Um. The most dazzling feat here\, though\, is the 15-minute “Meditations for a Pair of Wirecutters\,” on which a flurry of tricky horn arrangements occasionally pull back for expansive solos from Lombre and Philion. In person at a smaller venue like North Street Cabaret\, this ensemble will likely make an even more palpable connection between Mingus’ extraordinary work and the rage and tumult we’re living through now. —Scott Gordon \nMeditations on Mingus by Ethan Philion

SUMMARY:TS Foss\, Julia Blair\, Graham Hunt at Bur Oak
DESCRIPTION:Tyler Fassnacht is shown playing the 2022 Dirtnap Records festival as a member of Proud Parents. Photo by Steven Spoerl.\n  \nEarlier this September\, Tyler Fassnacht (Proud Parents\, Baby Tyler) continued his folk-leaning TS Foss project with the single “Grown Used To It.” Following the release of that single\, a small band Fassnacht had assembled embarked on a short tour that will conclude with a stop on September 12 at the Bur Oak. New and lightly reworked material from TS Foss will be on tap at this show\, with the band appearing as a trio. Joining Fassnacht on the bill will be two other acts Tone Madison has featured: Americana-pop artist Julia Blair and alt-punk mainstay Graham Hunt. \n\nBlair\, who released the lovely Better Out Than In earlier this year\, has a wide discography to choose from that includes her work with both Holy Sheboygan! and Dusk. Hunt\, who rose to prominence in Wisconsin via frenetic Milwaukee power pop act Midnight Reruns\, will be appearing fresh off the release of June’s superlative If You Knew Would You Believe It. Blair\, Hunt\, and Fassnacht have all left a significant impression on Wisconsin’s music scene at large and have proven incredibly versatile over the past decade-plus. Having them all together on a bill represents an unmissable opportunity. —Steven Spoerl

SUMMARY:RRR at Union South Marquee Cinema
DESCRIPTION:No prior knowledge of Indian historical figures Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaran Bheem is necessary to appreciate as S.S. Rajamouli’s bombastic action film RRR (2022). This three-hour epic reimagines the two real life anti-Raj activists Bheem (N.T. Rama Rao Jr.\, often referred to as NTR Jr.) and Rama Raju (Ram Charan) as near-superhuman strongmen\, an analogue to Goku and Vegeta for 1920s India. \nRajamouli’s infectious enthusiasm for over-the-top action set pieces have led to RRR becoming a crossover hit with audiences who aren’t usually tuned in to Indian cinema\, both in America and worldwide. (Of course\, having the highest production budget of any Indian film to date surely has something to do with it.) \nThe plot in brief: Bheem hopes to rescue a kidnapped child from cartoonishly evil British Colonialists. Rama Raju works for the British police. Both go undercover\, and the men become best friends without ever realizing each other’s true identity. Tension dramatically comes to head after the requisite dance number. \nRajamouli is clearly having a blast staging CGI-heavy action. Only Top Gun: Maverick‘s plane scenes come anywhere close to RRR‘s level of excitement\, and the Indian production didn’t have to utilize taxpayer-funded fighter jets to do it. (That is not to say RRR doesn’t have its own problematic implications.) But at the end of the day\, it’s a giant spectacle that highlights the strengths of the theatrical experience. And this may be your last chance to see the film locally. —Lewis Peterson \n  \nRRR screens both Friday and Saturday at 6:30 p.m.\, with an intermission halfway through its 181-minute running time.
