Million Dollar Quartet treats an unforgettable night when Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins all got together at Sun Records in Memphis to the (mostly) delight of rock production legend Sam Phillips. Unsurprisingly, the show itself is massively entertaining. Using real musician and onstage accompaniment, the quartet winds their way through hits [...]
I’m sitting in a Budweiser folding camp chair in a corner of the living room, which is dominated by two huge work desks littered with Macbook pros. The walls are covered with dry-erase boards, and extension cords haphazardly hang down from the ceiling. Judging by the (lack of) furniture, you’d think I was in a [...]
Las Vegas has the fastest growing population of veterans in the country. Veteran in the Valley is a column focusing on the strange transition from soldier to civilian in Las Vegas and the veterans that call this city home. Why We’re Here You don’t need to look very hard to notice those blue and white [...]
William J. Stribling, a graduate of NYU’s prestigious film program, screened his offering Beyond Belief at this year’s Dam Short Film Festival in Boulder City. The film, though billed as a drama, contains elements of prophetic humor as it treats the life of a down and out magician. Along with his assistant, the protagonist endures [...]
We caught a block of Drama short films on Wednesday evening, the first night of the Dam Short Film Festival. We’re ashamed to admit that we had never been to the Boulder Theatre before. It’s exactly the sort of thing that’s sorely lacking here in the valley; good for a field trip in any case. [...]
Las Vegas has the fastest growing population of veterans in the country. Veteran in the Valley is a column focusing on the strange transition from soldier to civilian in Las Vegas and the veterans that call this city home. Neon to Nature If there is one thing the Army taught me (besides how to binge-drink [...]
Here’s a quick roundup of gallery offerings in the Arts District this month. Above: The Space Between You and Me @ Tastyspace Trifecta Gallery UNLV MFA alumnus Sam Davis returns to Trifecta for another solo show entitled Modern Love. The exhibition spans several media including sculpture, tin type photos, and silkscreen. The centerpiece though, is [...]
UNLV fine art alums Jennifer Kleven and Krystal Ramirez are back on campus so to speak, exhibiting their photographs at Tam Alumni Center. The show, titled Vestiges, is comprised of a series of photos by Kleven and Ramirez shot over the last two years. While not originally shot in anticipation of an exhibition, these photos are thematically [...]
I first met Bobby Meader in Boulder City at a show I was playing with local musician Jessie Owens. Bobby was holding a case full of harmonicas that he would later use to accompany Owens' music. What I didn't know then, in that in that stuffy small-town bar, is that Bobby had his own solo music and apparently one hell of [...]
Seeing Stanley Kubrick’s film adaptation of Anthony Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange is not much preparation for seeing the production now showing at the Onyx Theatre. Yes, the story is approximately the same, but there are so many differences it might be a new tale altogether. As Burgess wished and executed in his own post-Kubrick stage [...]
