groove s h o w t i m e (Continued from Page 67) As Gaga, Inc. hauls its freight-load of fetish-inspired, spark-spewing attire into town, a local fashion arbiter has her sights set on the avant-garde megastar. For nearly five decades, the far-out, punky gowns of Zandra Rhodes have kept celebrities such as the late Princess Diana, Jackie O., Bianca Jagger, Freddie Mercury, Kate Moss and Paris Hilton on the fashion map. Now, Rhodes wants to create for Gaga, who may just be her equal in the outrageous department. “I’d adore dressing Lady Gaga,” Rhodes says via phone from Florida. “I could do her in some of my gorgeous traditional things (or) maybe a punk design, with one of her breasts out.” As in a fully exposed, NFL-affronting “malfunction”? “Yes, I think it would look lovely,” says Rhodes, whose bold, breastbaring designs are on display at the Mingei Museum in Balboa Park through April 3. Born in England, Rhodes studied at London’s Royal College of the Arts. Once considered too adventurous by conservative British standards, she started her own clothing line and now divides her time between London and Del Mar. At 70, she is a walking color burst, keeping her once lime-green Zandra Rhodes and purple hair a shade of hot pink. “Lady Gaga’s been to Armani, and he’s more conservative than me,” Rhodes says. “I’d hope that she’d have confidence in someone with pink hair.” Even for Rhodes, designing for Gaga would be a challenge. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time Gaga has led with her chest assets. Her boobs have been painted, bound in rope, wrapped in crime-scene tape and disguised with uncooked pork chops. Should Gaga’s people call for a fitting, Rhodes says she’d prefer to Lady Gaga take the less-is-more approach. “She’s young,” Rhodes says. “That means that all the parts of her body are okay being exposed. c y c l e Gene Nocon b a r t e n d e r s p i n - i n t u n e Lady Gaga Opener: Scissor Sisters Date: March 29 Time: 8 p.m. Venue: Viejas Arena, SDSU Tickets: $53.50 to $179 Info: 619.594.6947 or as.sdsu.edu/viejas_arena Josh Olins JUSTICE FOR ALL Local R&B singer gets ‘club bug,’ tastes chart success By pat sherman Rancho Peñasquitos has defied its snooze-inducing reputation in recent years, becoming the launching pad of glammed-up American Idol alum, Adam Lambert, and the homespun horror film franchise, Paranormal Activity. Now, Peñasquitos native and R&B vocalist Krys Justice is hoping his recent chart success will catapult him to similar heights. With a new single and video, All Night Long, the 28-year-old could be poised to place PQ on the map once again. The single Chemistry, off Justice’s 2010 CD, Juggernaut, reached No. 18 on the Dance Top 50 Chart, while his follow-up single, All Night Long, received Best Music Video and Best Dance Song nominations at the 2010 Hollywood Music in Media Awards, and was one of the 10 “Most Added Tracks” on the DJ Times National Club Charts. “I’m just really honored and humbled that I’m charting so well,” says Justice, who currently calls Rancho Santa Fe home. A fitness addict who ran track and played soccer and football at San Pasqual High School in Escondido, Justice can pit his shredded abs against those of just about any hip-hop or rap icon, from 50-Cent to Kanye to Usher. “I probably go to the gym at least four to five times a week,” he says. “I’ll do cardio in the mornings for about 30 or 40 minutes, and then in the afternoons I’ll break out muscle groups and do some resistance training.” Justice was raised on Motown and MTV legends before picking up one of his father’s saxophones and going on to learn piano and 10 other instruments. In high school, he attended The Stanford Jazz Workshop, during which he roomed with Carlos Santana’s son, Salvador, for two summers. He says his “urban electronic” music was heavily inspired by the David Guetta and Akron single, Sexy Bitch. “When that song hit, I just wanted to learn more and started listening to deadmau5, Tiësto and every European type of club DJ. It was just getting the club bug, I guess you would say.” krysjustice.com 68 pacificsandiego.com { March 2011}
The Beat of a Different Drummer JEFF “TURBO” CORRIGAN A punk percussionist reinvents himself By pat sherman Though he spent more than a decade pounding the skins in a hardcore punk band, DJ Sid Vicious now prefers to create anarchy on the dance floor. “I come to party and I want the room to party,” he says. “I think it really comes across to the venue that I’m having fun and that the crowd’s having fun.” Hailing from Dortmund, Germany, Vicious (aka Sidney Niesen) kept the alias he aped from the Sex Pistols’ late bassist, though he now says nein to mohawks, mosh pits and the occasional Pistols’ sample that once peppered his sets. “I’ve kind of almost walked away from it,” he says. “I didn’t want to give people this misconception that I was this punk rock guy that only played rock music and was vicious. Quite contrary, I’m very friendly.” Though he sold his drums four years ago, Vicious says his raucous roots give him a better ear with which to gauge song transitions—especially when moving between genres and tracks with varying beats per minute. “A lot of people that know me think I can really read a room better or play to a room better because I have that musical background,” he says. “I think it made DJing a lot easier for me. That timing and that rhythm is just in my soul. It’s there.” See DJ Sid Vicious spin Saturdays at FLUXX and Sunday nights at 207 at Hard Rock Hotel San Diego. djsidvicious.com In the mix with DJ Sid Vicious at 207 at Hard Rock Hotel San Diego DJ Sid Vicious Age: 37 Former career: Punk drummer Years in San Diego: 3 Eats: Searsucker, Nobu Favorite band: Depeche Mode Mentor: DJ Vice rock of ages Slowhand and steady wins the race By DAVe GOOD When Eric Clapton performs live March 6 at the Sports Arena, he may invite his friend J.J. Cale, a reclusive North County guitar player, to join him onstage. The friendship dates back to 1970, the year Clapton launched the Valley Center songwriter’s career by recording a cover of Cale’s song, “After Midnight.” Later, Clapton turned Cale’s “Cocaine” into classic rock gold. In 2004, Cale played Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas. The collaboration continued two years later, when Clapton co-wrote and recorded The Road to Escondido with Cale and San Diegan Nathan East, a bass player in Clapton’s band since the mid- 1980s. Incidentally, none of the songs on The Road to Escondido are actually about the city of Escondido.
