Quintet keeps music natural
Sy ADAM CARLSON
The Red & Black
Jonathan Tyler would like to
make something clear.
“I don’t like going to see a
band and one of the guys pushes
a space bar on his Mac and the
song starts," he said
And iyier would know: as
front man of Jonathan Tyler &
The Northern Lights, a Dallas
based five-piece, the music he
makes is not coming from the
speakers of a Mac any time
soon.
Indeed, the band’s latest
work, April’s “Pardon Me,” was
recorded live, with little consid
eration given to working over
and possibly overworking the
music.
Though it shouldn’t be said
that he and his band which
includes guitarist Brandon
Pinckard, drummer Jordan Cain,
bassist Nick Jay and singer Mo
Brown aren’t musically profi
cient. In fact, constant improve
ment is a continued goal.
“We really are in love with
music, and I feel like each of us
is on a journey to master our
instruments,” iyier said.
There’s a difference between
diligence and obsession, though.
“I also think you can wear
yourself out over-analyzing
things,” Tyler said.

JONATHAN TYLER & THE
NORTHERN LIGHTS
Whan: 9 p.m.
Where: New Earth Music Hail
Price: $7
Thus, the group's songs
like the galloping declaration of
the title track or the rat-a-tat
drumline in “Gypsy Woman”
don't so much begin as kick
start.
But it wasn’t always so.
Way back when roughly six
or seven years ago the group
members first came together in
Dallas, after Tyler moved from
Birmingham.
When they started making
music together, their collabora
tion didn’t sound much like
what it does today.
Tyler described it as more
European-influenced, an
attempt to copy the sound of
the music they liked.
“Nothing really connected
and stuck, so we just kept writ
ing and playing,” Tyler said.
“And that’s when things started
to connect, when people started
to come out to our shows.”
The turning point came when
the band decided to hew their
work a little closer to home.
“We all grew up around gos
pel, blues, real Southern music,"

Tyler said.
Now, the band has grown
comfortable in its own skin, mix
ing Americana and gospel influ
ences.
“We just play what feels
right,” iyier said.
Discovering a niche has not
only focused The Northern
Lights’ musicianship it’s also
made the band more focused
and energetic when performing
live.
Part of it is being completely
in the moment and not holding
anything back, a philosophy that
iyier feels sets his band apart.
“There are just not a lot of
bands anymore that are willing
to be in the moment,” he said.
Not The Northern Lights,
who aspire not just to be in the
moment, but to tear it wide
open.
“(We] definitely try and make
it special every time we play,”
iyier said.
“Special” translates into an
extremely high level of energy in
each performance, which can
sometimes go a little haywire
but, perhaps, appropriately so.
“They can get really out of
control sometimes, which is
awesome,” Tyler said.
This tends to happen espe
cially in places known for their
music, iyier said Austin,

“Live or die. Make your
choice."
So ends every pre-record
ed monologue the Jigsaw
Killer delivers to his victims
in the long-running “Saw”
franchise, now the most
financially successful horror
film franchise in the world in
unadjusted dollars.
But now, the most terrify
ing thing about the franchise
is that someone sits around
thinking up Jigsaw’s death
traps.
But let’s give “Saw 3D” a
fair shake. “3D” enjoys the
presence of mainstay Tobin
Bell, who continues to give
the performances of his life
as John Kramer/Jigsaw.
Who else could turn a
withered cancer patient into
a horror icon so chilling he’s
on par with killing machines
Jason Voorhees and Freddy
Krueger?
Unfortunately, Kramer's
failing condition is an eerie
parallel to the series as a
whole: increasingly weak
with each installment, finally
dying in the third and living
on his posthumous coattails.
Bell is helped along on
the acting front by Cary
Elwes, who has been MIA
from the franchise since his
character vanished amidst
Elwes' suit against
Lionsgate. Elwes. as the
older, more jaded Dr.
Lawrence Gordon, shines
whenever he’s on-screen.

still go see live bands.”
There, The Northern Lights'
passion tends to go over better;
their knowledge of music and
appropriating of various influ
ences including disparate per
formers such as Led Zeppelin,
The Black Crowes and Willie
Nelson is better appreciated
with an audience that better
appreciates music.

It’s either that, or wail
incoherently and drop curse
words into your unintention
ally flinny dialogue while
flailing around, trying to
escape Jigsaw’s traps.
Then does the 3-D do it
for us? Not really. There are
only two blink-and-you-miss
it instances of the technolo
gy being put to use.
I found myself wishing it
was utilized more, but I’m
also relieved I was only sub
jected to two minimal scenes
of flying giblets.
There’s a story in here
somewhere, one that’s smug
enough to pull off a twist
with every installment in an
effort to reproduce that
“gotcha” moment that kept
people talking about the
original, but it's quickly
splattered across the back
ground like so much else in
these movies.
There are readings of
redemption, Darwinism and
catharsis to Jigsaw’s philos
ophy. But it’s really about a
bitter old man throwing a
postmortem temper tan
trum, and the writers pre
tend it’s mildly noble.
Gone is the simple terror
of two people trapped in a
room from the first “Saw.” It
was a psychological horror
more than anything else.
We saw the trailers.

Gordon mutters in weary

aren’t so fond of what's been on
the airwaves the last few
decades.
“Pretty much from disco on,
music’s been ... I don’t know,” he
said. “I feel like it’s turning into
shit.”
And The Northern lights
have set out to turn it back, one
album and live show at a time.
“That’s what it’s all about,”
iyier said. “Music, for me, is

Cue blood-curdling
scream.
And that’s what made
“Saw” so great: the lurking
terror of what could be. Six
movies later, we’re washing
down the stale scares of
“watch this happen.”
“Saw” has truly earned
the title “torture pom.” No
one goes to see these movies
for the characters anymore.
It’s about how badly Jigsaw
slaughters them.
It’s a big ball of half
baked ideas wrapped up in
bad decisions. Of course, the
first bad decision was going
to see this movie in the first
place.
