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.

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," uMr •, 'TSP Knights Onrush 99 cents; free trial available on iPhone Does the idea of launching a bird at an egg-stealing green pig seem trivial?

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.

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. Most others in the cast has a habit of RANDOMLY emphasizing words to 2005 VOLVO SEDAN S4O.

Simply, iyier and his band now showing DEMONSTRATE their abili ty to EMOTE. 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. “He doesn’t want us to cut through our chains,” Dr. Gordon mutters in weary realization. “He wants us to I BARTENDING! UP to S2SO/day.

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 that journey." SAW 3D cut through our —” 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.
