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:Party In The Park at James Madison Park
DESCRIPTION:WSUM’s annual music festival returns\, showcasing a wide variety of Wisconsin artists. Milwaukee’s Diet Lite co-headlines\, serving catchy power-pop with snotty group vocals and hooky guitar lines. Grungy post-punk outfit Interlay will co-headline behind its 2020 EP Cicada. The Madison-based four-piece offers tortured\, expressive vocals and meandering\, fraught guitar lines over a focused\, driven rhythm section. The third headliner\, UW-Madison student Deryk G\, performs behind his latest release Peace In Armageddon\, which blends catchy\, funky pop with thoughtful\, intentional R&B. \nThe full Party In The Park lineup\, boasting nine artists and eight DJs—many of whom represent the current\, standout program schedule of students on the airwaves—can be found here. —Emili Earhart \n \n\n Illustration by Shaysa Sidebottom.

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.

SUMMARY:The Heroic Trio at UW Cinematheque
DESCRIPTION:A delirious blend of superhero action and supernatural wuxia\, The Heroic Trio (1993) is a truly weird showcase for three of Hong Kong’s biggest female stars. After a series of infant kidnappings that leave police baffled\, masked superhero Wonder Woman (Anita Mui) tries to catch the mysterious baby-snatchers while keeping her identity a secret from her detective husband. She soon discovers that motorcycle-riding mercenary Thief Catcher (Maggie Cheung) and cold-blooded assassin Invisible Woman (Everything Everywhere All At Once’s Michelle Yeoh) are both linked to the crimes. Initially on opposing sides\, the three join forces to stop Invisible Woman’s master\, a powerful eunuch (Shi-Kwan Yen) trying to take over the world.  \nCo-directed by gangster film auteur Johnnie To and wuxia master Siu-Tung Ching\, The Heroic Trio is a combination of both directors’ highly stylized and playfully postmodern signatures. Though The Heroic Trio wasn’t a hit during original release\, everyone reunited for a low-budget post-apocalyptic sequel (Executioners\, screening the next Friday\, September 23) the very same year in an attempt to recoup production costs. Both films will be shown in newly restored 4K DCP with English subtitles\, a welcome upgrade from the questionably dubbed Dimension Films versions that made the films cult classics in the VHS era. —Ian Adcock

SUMMARY:Good Corners\, Medlén at Dark Horse ArtBar
DESCRIPTION:Good Corners patiently tugs together threads of ambient music and cosmic country\, and the duo plays here to celebrate their debut album. The best moments on Corners Bloody Corners use the gentle\, shimmering lilt of John Hitchcock’s pedal steel and electric guitar to gradually pull the listener into lingering melodic themes. Amid Hitchcock’s bending and ringing strings\, Ryan Lansing uses a variety of elements (including synths\, tape loops\, and baritone guitar) to create atmospheres that are at once wide-open and full of scratchy\, warm texture.  \nAll six tracks on the album give the duo plenty of time to sink in\, the shortest one running just under seven minutes. The overall effect is sometimes eerie and mournful (“Into The Sky)\, sometimes euphoric (“We Have Always Been Here”)\, and sometimes it hits those in-between emotional zones where ambient music thrives (“Poor Lightning”). Good Corners recorded the album live to tape without overdubs\, an approach that should translate well on a live stage. They’ll also be donating proceeds from sales of digital and cassette copies of Corners Bloody Corners to the Water Protector Legal Collective. —Scott Gordon \n \nPhoto by Nicholas Davies.

SUMMARY:Ruin Dweller\, The Mall\, Mind Harvester at Mickey's Tavern
DESCRIPTION:The Mall began as a solo darkwave industrial project by St. Louis artist Mark Plant\, making an immediate impact with debut release Zone. Standout track “An Answer” builds catchy\, ethereal synth hooks upon a pulsating rhythm and nagging bass line. Live\, Plant delivers their oppressively overwrought vocals in urgent devotion to the dancefloor. In the last year\, former Madisonian Spencer Bible (Tippy\, Christian Dior) has joined the project\, and plays here in anticipation of their October release Time Vehicle Earth. The Mall recently put out its first single as a duo\, serving a punk EBM ethic for This Total Age.  \nMilwaukee punk band Mind Harvester (formerly known as Scathed) plays here behind the 2018 record Already Dead. The title track exemplifies the band’s combination of straight ahead\, fast crust punk and doomy blackened death metal. Local four-piece Ruin Dweller support the bill with classic death metal laced in apocalyptic dungeon synth. —Emili Earhart  \nTime Vehicle Earth by The MallIllustration by Shaysa Sidebottom.

SUMMARY:The Low Czars\, Aaron Scholz at Bur Oak
DESCRIPTION:  \nAaron Scholz is shown sitting on a couch\, holding his acoustic guitar\, crossing his legs\, and looking directly at the camera.  \nAaron Scholz has been a busy member of Madison’s music community for more than 20 years\, but for a long time the original songs he wrote as a solo artist were somewhat on ice. A 15-year gap between actual Aaron Scholz albums ended with the 2021 release of Third Place. Built on a solid\, crisp acoustic foundation\, standout tracks like “Dorothy Door” and “St. Paul” contemplate forgotten places and overlooked people\, but the lyrics are never exactly bleak\, nor is the music. If anything\, Scholz excels at making loneliness feel comforting and familiar. If any one line on the album sums it up\, it’s on the closing track “The Place\,” when Scholz sings: “I never hesitate to get out of the way.” \nScholz opens with a solo set here and then performs as a member of the excellent cover band The Low Czars.       \n—Scott Gordon \n  \nThird Place by Aaron Scholz

SUMMARY:Brahmulus\, Little Earthquakes at High Noon Saloon
DESCRIPTION:Little Earthquakes perform at AtwoodFest in 2022. Photo by Steven Spoerl.  \nIn a recent Tone Madison profile of emergent act Little Earthquakes\, author Jason Fuhrman artfully described the band’s poignancy: “When Little Earthquakes played at this summer’s AtwoodFest\, the audience received a brief yet warm introduction to the lush musical palette of a budding indie project. Guided by lead singer Annie Kubena’s ethereal vocals\, the band moved fluidly between infectious\, groove-heavy dance numbers\, haunting melodies\, downtempo interludes\, and propulsive neo-psychedelic rock… The members of the band started getting together casually in 2019 just to see what kind of “beautiful noise” they could create. Marsh\, Farrey\, Siegenthaler\, and Galligan sent sketches of tracks to Kubena\, who then wrote melodies and lyrics to flesh out the material. “Digital Cowboy”—the band’s first single\, released in May—is hard evidence that the band has latched onto an unexpected genre-mesh that works.” Neo-soul/pop act Brahmulus rounds out the bill. \n—Jason Fuhrman  \nDigital Cowboy by Little Earthquakes

SUMMARY:Enigma: The Prints Of David Lynch gallery reception & David Lynch: The Art Life screening at Tandem Press
DESCRIPTION:Excerpt from Jason Fuhrman’s article: In conjunction with a reception for Enigma on Friday\, September 23\, starting at 5 p.m.\, Tandem Press will also host an outdoor screening of the documentary David Lynch: The Art Life (2016)\, co-directed by Jon Nguyen\, Rick Barnes\, and Olivia Neergaard-Holm. The movie screening will begin at 7 p.m. on the lawn in front of the Apex building where Tandem is located on the North Side. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs. \nLynch worked closely with Tandem master printers Andy Rubin and Bruce Crownover and a group of graduate students to create several monotypes\, editioned prints\, and photogravures. Lynch returned to the studio in the summers of 1998\, 1999\, and 2001\, and worked with the press remotely from 2007 to 2008. By all accounts\, Lynch left the imprint of his eccentric personality on Tandem. \nThe predominantly monochromatic exhibition parallels Lynch’s cinema insofar as the meaning of the work remains obscure\, but the power of his images cannot be denied. Lynch’s films compel audiences to watch differently—they often feel like paintings that are meant to be experienced\, rather than explained. Similarly\, the recurring motifs\, rich symbolism\, and dreamlike textures of his prints imbue the work with a distinctively narrative quality. \nDavid Lynch: The Art Life screening alongside the reception for the Engima exhibition feels like the perfect pairing. The documentary plainly demonstrates how Lynch has always been a tactile artist while he manipulates various materials with his bare hands and leisurely performs manual labor. While few of Lynch’s films are actually mentioned in The Art Life\, it emphasizes the myriad intricate connections between his various pursuits\, and suggests that cinema represents just one facet of his vision.

SUMMARY:Hanah Jon Taylor Artet: Tribute to John Coltrane at Café Coda
DESCRIPTION:A sepia-toned photograph of Hanah Jon Taylor is shown side-by-side with a black-and-white photo of John Coltrane.  \nMark Doox’s religious-icon-style painting “St. John Coltrane The Divine Sound Baptist” looms large over the interior of Café Coda. It’s not the only portrait lining the Willy Street jazz club\, but Coltrane is certainly a sort of patron saint of the place. This is\, after all\, a venue owned by saxophonist Hanah Jon Taylor\, who cherishes the spirit of expansion and improvisation that drives Coltrane’s work. On the 76th anniversary of Coltrane’s birth\, Taylor will perform here with Pawan Benjamin on woodwinds\, Chris Rottmayer on piano\, Dushun Mosley on percussion\, and Jeremiah Hunt on bass. There’s no easy way to sum up Coltrane’s contributions to music in his 40 years\, and you can expect that the Taylor Artet’s performance won’t be easy to pin down either.  \n—Scott Gordon

SUMMARY:Afterlight at Common Wealth Gallery
DESCRIPTION:The banner poster for Mitchell Tanis’ “Afterlight.” Image by Mitchell Tanis. \nWhile Mitchell Tanis’ mixed-media art exhibition Afterlight officially opens on September 24\, audiences who can’t make it out over the weekend will have one last chance on Monday to catch what looks to be an incredibly striking showing. Afterlight\, which is based entirely on the concept of the emotional responses elicited by day transforming into night\, features what Tanis describes as “a creative expression of photography\, art\, and design.” \n\nIn the preview images\, Tanis’ work artfully conveys his desired intent; all three of the selections Tanis sent to Tone Madison were evocative of the sense of encroaching wonderment and personal quiet that often accompany nightfall. Melancholic\, reflective\, and occasionally serene\, Tanis’ vision—even when presented in abbreviation—is undeniably powerful. Afterlight seems set to be an exhibition that leaves a lasting impression. Afterlight will open in a showing that runs from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday\, September 24\, and continue to run from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. through Monday\, September 26.  \n—Steven Spoerl

SUMMARY:House Of Lud\, Under The Surface\, Daughters Of St. Crispin at BarleyPop Live
DESCRIPTION:House Of Lud has gone through a few iterations since it began as a solo doom-metal outing from Troy Peterson\, who’s also known for the varied electronic music and occasional off-the-wall antics of his project Kleptix. For a while\, House Of Lud took the form of a powerful live trio\, recording the 2018 album Olden Void. The project’s latest release\, The Crooked And Thorny Path Of Reckoning\, features a different three-piece lineup: moving from guitar to bass\, Peterson is joined by Joe Cummings on drums and Nick Venechuk on guitar.  \nThroughout all this\, House Of Lud has channeled its lumbering riffs through a lens that’s austere\, murky\, and (as the band’s name might suggest) in willful retreat from the modern world. Peterson tells Tone Madison that House Of Lud has “receded back into the shadows to write the best music we can\, and rehearse the best live set we can play\, and basically not talk about it whatsoever.” —Scott Gordon \nThe Crooked and Thorny Path of Reckoning by House of Lud Illustration by Shaysa Sidebottom.

SUMMARY:Proud Parents\, Cult Of Lip\, Lunar Moth at Crystal Corner Bar
DESCRIPTION:Proud Parents are shown performing during the Dirtnap Super Show Extravaganza. Photo by Steven Spoerl.  \nAfter an excruciatingly long wait\, the Crystal Corner Bar is finally punching its way back into Madison’s live music fold. One of the first lineups the beloved independent bar/venue will be hosting is a classic encapsulation of what makes the Crystal so endearing to so many. Power-pop titans Proud Parents\, dreamy shoegaze stalwarts Cult Of Lip\, and punchy post-punk act Lunar Moth make up an appealing bill that caters to three of Madison’s most prominent punk subgenres. \n\nLunar Moth will be playing just a few weeks after the release of their latest single\, “Sunshine Veins.” Cult Of Lip’s appearance will continue to establish the band’s new lineup/era\, following the semi-recent addition of keyboardist Emili Earhart (an occasional Tone Madison contributor). Proud Parents will be making their first appearance on a traditional bill in a while. Previously\, Proud Parents’ last two appearances were both Madison festival slots (Orton Park and the Dirtnap Super Show Extravaganza) in which the band delivered characteristically energetic sets. All three acts will have good reason to play their hearts out\, which can only benefit the audience. —Steven Spoerl

SUMMARY:Nosferatu: Phantom Of The Night at Leopold's Books Bar Caffè patio
DESCRIPTION:Count Dracula (Klaus Kinski) looms over the bed of Lucy Harker (Isabelle Adjani)\, putting her under his spell. \nStart spooky season and horror month off right with an outdoor screening of Werner Herzog’s Nosferatu: Phantom Of The Night (1979)\, a stylistic reinterpretation of F. W. Murnau’s silent classic of German Expressionism. It’s also the final film of the season on Leopold’s patio. (For these chilly nights\, bring a blanket.) \nInspired by the Romantic paintings of Caspar David Friedrich\, Murnau’s 1922 film is often regarded as the archetype and the pillar for gothic horror cinema. Rather than attempting to ape that aesthetic\, Herzog leans into his own idiosyncratic proclivities at the height of his prolific era of New German Cinema with an ethereal atmosphere and glowing mysticism. \nBesides the comparative pleasures in the casting and visual composition (including some shot-for-shot translation)\, Phantom Of The Night boasts a raga rock-inflected neoclassical new age score by Popol Vuh. It distinctively envelops the film’s otherworldly Transylvanian universe\, which beckons Jonathan Harker (Bruno Ganz) to close a real estate deal with Count Dracula (a perennially lurking Klaus Kinski\, who adopts more humanistic features than Max Schreck’s original grisly Orlok). \nHerzog lends a progressively macabre sense of humor to the final act’s plague infestation. Consider the group who lavishly dines in the throes of death\, being overtaken by rats. But it’s Doctor Van Helsing (Walter Ladengast) who more soberly attempts to counter the pervasive doom and gloom with a speech on science ushering in a new world\, lifting it out of the literal shadows\, as his rationality clashes against Jonathan’s wife Lucy (Isabelle Adjani)’s superstitious faith. \nIf Murnau was constructing his own language of silent cinema by way of landscape paintings of the 19th century\, Herzog and cinematographer Jörg Schmidt-Reitwein may have borrowed their own from Giorgio de Chirico\, who was also a notable inspiration to Fumito Ueda and Team Ico when rendering one of this century’s most influential adventure games\, Ico (2001). —Grant Phipps

SUMMARY:Tatsuya Nakatani\, Russell/Sexe at Arts + Literature Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Tone Madison and Arts + Literature Laboratory are co-presenting this show from Tatsuya Nakatani\, a tirelessly touring veteran of avant-garde percussion. Nakatani will be performing solo here\, in improvised sets that usually find him coaxing an astonishing variety of sounds from drumkit\, gongs\, and singing bowls. What really makes Nakatani’s performances so entrancing is how he uses a range of techniques—bows\, fingertips\, breath—that bring out not just the explosive power of percussion but also its most delicate harmonics and textures. (He has further explored the sheer possibility of bowed gongs with his Nakatani Gong Orchestra project.) The multifaceted music and dance duo of Tim Russell and Liz Sexe will open. Tickets are discounted for Tone Madison Sustainers and Arts + Lit Lab members. —Scott Gordon
