Show life B2 MONDAY • MARCH 26 • 2007 Heather's Cookbook Concert review Stefs Easy Quiche Ingredients: Anberlin brings new energy to Utah Rising rock band rises to the occasion Luke Hickman Life Editor On Tuesday, March 20, ' Florida-based rock band Anberlin took its first-time headlining tour to the Great Salt Lake and brought enough energy for everyone. The show opened with three bands: Jonezetta, a dry band headed on the long exit-less road to mediocrity, and Bayside, a group of preppy-looking frat boys mimicking the sound of '90s punk, made the show look bleak from the gct-go. On the flip side, the local Sandy-based sister act Meg & Dia gave a smashing, all-out performance. These girls belted out notes as strong and clear as you've ever heard. It was Meg & Dia that stirred the crowd and paved the path for Anberlin's tight performance. From the moment the band took their place on the stage dimly lit by pillars of gray light illuminating the 20-foot-talI Anberlin banner, the four front men (minus the drummer — you can't put drums on the front of a stage) held the front of 2 deep dish pie crusts (frozen works) 4 eggs 1 cup milk 1 package sausage (preferably brown and serve) 1/2 package bacon (cut into strips) 1 onion, diced 4 cups shredded cheese- any you like 2 teaspoons parsley flakes Bake empty pie crusts in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until light brown. Make sure to poke it with a fork first! While the crust is baking start frying the bacon until it is very crispy but not burnt. Drain off most of the fat. Add onions and saut6 with the bacon for 3-5 minutes. Chop up sausage and add to onions and bacon. Put half of meat onion mixture into each pie crust. Put half of the cheese on top of meat mixture. Break 2 eggs in a bowl and beat them with 1/2 cup of milk and 1 teaspoon parsley flakes. Pour over one pie and repeat for the second pie. Bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes or until the quiches are golden brown on top. If you have a good recipe, The College Times would be happy to print it.

Nothing could bring them down. Lead singer Stephen Christian owned the show with his excitement. Feeding off the energy that he graciously thanked the crowd for throughout the evening, Christian brought the band to a place where it became a symbiotic relationship of energy sharing. Anberlin's talent lies in their ability t a d o whatever they want and still be able to make it an amazing experience. How many bands can move from a beautiful acoustic song like "The Unwind- Continued from B4 ing Cable Car," move onto a lightning-fast crowdchurner like "Godspeed" and finish the show with a building, emotion-filled encore song like "Fin"? Seeing Anberlin live only proves that they've got what a lot of bands lack and that they've got a bright future ahead of them. Bronson's million Death Wish movies, slides into 16 Blocks, dives into The Fugitive, throws you into The Bourne Identity and finishes off with The Punisher. You won't even need to pay close attention to notice the carbon-copied scenes.

Concert review Taking Back Sunday, Underoath take Saltair by storm Sold out tour rocks on shore of Great Salt Lake Chad Hunt Life Writer Big-name rockers Taking Back Sunday made a stopped in Utah, on Friday March 9, touring in support of their newest album, Louder Now, with Underoath and Armor For Sleep as the opening acts. Hours before showtime, fans lined the shores of the Great Salt Lake near Salt Air anticipating the performance of their 'favorite band' on the night. The show was sold out. Armor For Sleep opened with eerily haunting guitars melting into catchy melodies. The set included hits off their latest release, What To Do When You1 re Dead, including 'Car Underwater' and 'The Truth About Heaven.' A still gathering crowd applauded the performance, but a sense of restlessness filled the venue as the crowd waited impatiently for the upcoming acts. This intensity was only heightened as Underoath crashed the stage with chaotic precision as the band, led by the intense vocals of Spencer Chamberlain and drummer Aaron Gillespie. Attacking an intense, fast-paced set, which teetered between They're Only Chasing Safety and their critically acclaimed, Grammynominated Define The Great Line, Underoath stirred the crowd into a frenzy. . With the help of bright lights, searing energy and a dedication to Jesus, Underoath had the thriving crowd demanding an encore, a very unusual occurrence for an opening band. However, the frenzy settled during the half hour of behind-a-curtain preparation between Underoath and the headlining act. As Taking Back Sunday is performance drew near, a refreshed crowd returned in even greater numbers. As the mysterious curtain fell, it revealed a fabric draped stage, adorned with drawings that resembled stereo speakers; drummer Mark O'Connell began a familiar beat as, one by one, each additional member, Matt Rubano, Eddie Reyes, Fred Mascherino and finally frontman Adam Lazarra, took the stage and Salt Air erupted into 'Liar (It Takes One To Know One).' Throughout a set drenched with singles from their three full-length albums, the microphone slinger, Lazarra, and gang entertained, engaged the crowd and even supplemented a song with Justin Timberlake's lMy Love.' After playing the core of the set, the band made the traditional exit, only to return moments later (sans speaker takingbacksunday.com drapes) to wind up the night. Taking Back Sunday in a recent photo shoot The encore set included the soft, acoustic 'Divine Intervention,' supplemented with lyrics from 'Bones' by The Killers. The band then wrapped up the evening with MakeDamnSureT and some amazing microphone tossing by Lazarra. Currently the tour is on its last leg in Canada, after which Underoath is headlining the Dirty South Tour hitting select dates in southern states. toothandnail.com UnderOath in a recent photo shoot Retro movie review A horror flick that bugs vampires Jason Pyles Assistant Life Editor Cronos is noteworthy because of its original spin on vampires and is an effective (though probably unintentional) metaphor for the downward spiral of drug addiction. ' Cronos was written and directed by the capable hands of Guillermo del Toro, who is perhaps better known for last year's masterful Pan's Labyrinth. A 16th-century alchemist/watchmaker constructs a bio-mechanical beetle called "the Cronos device." This golden scarab is designed to grant its user significantly extended life, if not immortality. This device is most intriguing. Only we, the viewers, are able to see the bug's inner workings. It contains spinning gears of brass and a peculiar inhabitant: a grotesque, pulsating, bloody, bug-like larva. I will not reveal the unsettling manner in which the Cronos interacts with its user; this uncomfortable oddity is one of the movie's pleasures. Four-hundred years later, when the alchemist is mortally wounded by architectural ineptitude, his possessions are sold. A kind grandfather and shopkeeper, Jesus Gris (Federico Luppi), eventually has the alchemist's archangel statue for sale in his store. Gris and his quiet granddaughter, Aurora (Tamara Shanath), discover that the statue hides the Cronos device within it. Soon, Gris is addicted to the Cronos' seemingly symbiotic wonders and its horrors. The evil is twofold. Adisturbed old man named Dieter de la Guardia (Claudio Brook) and his bizarro-WillFerrell-look-alike nephew, Angel (Ron Perlman), seek the Cronos device with ferocity. Their determination to possess it gets ugly. Besides an inconvenient craving for blood, Cronos users eventually take on a periwinkle skin color that's reminiscent of "Faker" from the "He-Man" toys - minus the orange hair. (Here's a tip: If you want to be a "faker" and pass yourself off as some white guy, you can't have blue skin.) Vampires are typically pitiful beings, but never have I seen a movie that made me feel as much com- Cronos, a creepy, crawly spin on traditional bloodsuckers cult-cinema.ru A 16th-century alchemist (Mario Ivan Martinez) pens a letter while his archangel statue proofreads. passion as I did for Gris. Cronos is sufficiently weird and creepy to merit a viewing, even if you have an aversion to subtitles. Its macabre plot approaches dark comedy but is mostly ghoulish, gruesome and grim. Note: Cronos is rated R but is available for free rental in the UVSC library. |
