Negative Approach Hangs with Dwarves

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 15:28:15 GMT

Negative Approach Hangs with Dwarves: Detroit’s hardcore kings Negative Approach have a loyal fanbase here in SoCal, and this show with Dwarves is going to be wild. Like, crushing circle pit-wild. Limbs flying like the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan-wild. Be prepared! No/Mas and Knoll also perform.Of a recent set with the Circle Jerk’s, we said “There are few hardcore frontmen more naturally intimidating that John Brannon, a man who sounds like he’s gargling broken glass. His stare burns through lead, as he prowls the stage. Honestly, we would have liked to have seen them further up the bill but we doubt the NA guys give a shit. Songs such as ‘Tied Down’ and ‘Ready to Fight,’ plus covers of the Stooges’ ‘I Got a Right’ and Sham 69’s ‘Borstal Breakout’ are the perfect appetizer.”This writer wrote a cover story for the Detroit Metro Times on John Brannon back in 2010, and he said that, “When we started Negative Approach, we held onto our back influences, like Alice Cooper and De...

Taste-Off: The most delicious fruit-flavored ice tea — and the worst

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 15:28:15 GMT

Summer hydration starts with water, but when the palate begs for a change, there’s everything right about a deep pour of thirst-quenching, fruit-flavored iced tea.Quick, easy and somewhat healthy, tea falls into the “functional beverage” category, as it’s a source of antioxidants and polyphenols and delivers a touch of caffeine to boost energy and alertness.Bottles and cans of tea come in too many flavors to count, but the most popular on store shelves are black and green teas enhanced with lemon, raspberry, mint or peach. They can be sweet or tart, bitter or bubbly, and are sometimes laced with vitamins. For this feature, we loaded up on non-citrus, fruity teas. As peach seems to be one of the most popular, we opted for that fruit whenever possible.The best ready to drink, fruit-flavored iced teas have deep brewed tea flavor and a juicy dash of authentic, aromatic fruit flavor. Whether sweet or plain, they are so well balanced that all the flavors shine. Bad bottled ice teas are no...

The Ethiopian chef behind Oakland’s Mela Bistro offers health-conscious inspiration

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 15:28:15 GMT

Punchy green lentil berbere hummus. Citrus-dotted honey wine. A homey ambiance sweet enough to feel like that special “third place.” None of this is accidental at Mela Bistro, an Ethiopian restaurant where chef Adiam Tsegaye balances warmth with complexity all while paying homage to her Northern Ethiopian and Oakland roots.“It’s a safe place to eat,” Tsegaye says of the gluten-free and vegan-friendly menu. Guests don’t have to worry about allergies or dietary restrictions when they enter the sunlit dining room at the heart of downtown Oakland – and that’s by design.When Tsegaye opened Mela Bistro in 2019, her goal was to create an establishment that her son, who has severe food allergies, would be able to enjoy.“I think the menu is inspired a lot because of him. Twelve years ago, I could not find anything gluten-free, dairy-free,” she says. “So I started going back to my roots, experimenting with ingredients.”Owner an...

Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin made a deal to go to Belarus — but NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that only a few of his mercenaries have ended up there. In an interview with POLITICO on Wednesday, the defensive alliance leader said Wagner forces do remain active in Africa and away from the frontline in Ukraine but that not many have arrived in Belarus. Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko brokered a deal for Prigozhin to head to his country following a failed mutiny in Russia, sparking fears about Wagner’s possible future presence in the region. “We have seen some preparations for the hosting of Wagner forces,” Stoltenberg said. But, he added, “We have so far not yet seen so many of them arriving.”“We are, of course, closely following what’s going on in Belarus,” Stoltenberg said. “What we have seen is that the Wagner forces continue to operate in Africa,” he noted, underscoring that while not many have gone to Belarus, “some are in Ukraine, but not a...
