Mellow OutBon Iver has somehow

achieved indie stardom while

simultaneously making bank by being

on the soundtrack of a Twilight

movie, so, clearly, the bands mellow

acoustic music has wide appeal. Or

scenester kids are secretly Twilight

fans. Hmm. The Monday and Tuesday

shows are sold out, but you could

always bite someone and steal his

ticket. 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Mon.

FunkadelicThe CSC Funk Band

brings together 10 or so

musicians whove been playing all

manner of punk and noise rock.

The ensemble, which includes

an oboe, doesnt sound thrown

together at all in fact, as funk

ensembles go, its remarkably

disciplined, but still loose enough

to dance to. Black Cat, 1811 14th

St. NW; Mon., 8 p.m., $10; 202-

667-7960, Blackcatdc.com.

Although he expects Fall Out Boy to

come together again in the future,

Patrick Stump says his solo career

which includes the EP Truant

Wave and the upcoming albumSoul Punk will be a primary

concern.

I do have a

lot of records I

want to put out,

Stump says. Im

always going to be

doing it.

For the initial

gambits of Soul

Punk, which is due in October,

Stump is showing off an R&B-fla-

vored style showing the acknowl-

edged influence of artists such as

Prince and Michael Jackson, amongothers. Its music Stump didnt

record with Fall Out Boy because,

he explains, This is a lot more of

a distillation of my inf luences, and

[the band] is supposed to be a com-

bination of all of our influences.

Emma Stone has gone from lay-

person to expert on the t wo pub-

ishing sensations shes helpingo bring to Hollywood this sum-

mer and next.

Stone had not read Kathryn

Stocketts The Help before audi-

ioning for the lead role in the

drama about a white woman who

ocks the Deep South establishment

by chronicling the hard lives of

lack maids in the early 1960s.

The Help is expected to be

a summer hit driven by the best-

ellers female fans, a rarity in a

eason dominated by action tales

and comedies.

And before earning the femaleead in The Amazing Spider-Man,

Stone knew the Marvel Comics

uperhero mainly from Sam Rai-

mis three past big-screen Spidey

adventures and glimpses of the

web-slinger on memorabilia.

Emma Stones star

continues to rise with

breakout film roles

I knew Spidey from Hallow-

een costumes and Band-Aids and

erasers and pencils and notebooks,

Stone, 22, said in an interview at

last months Comic-Con fan con-

vention, where she and star Andrew

Garfield joined the filmmakers to

reveal footage of the 2012 summer

blockbuster-in-waiting.

Stone has been on a steady risein Hollywood, co-starring in 2007s

teen romp Superbad and 2009s

horror comedy Zombieland, then

charming audiences with her first

big-screen lead in last years Scar-

let Letter twist Easy A.

After supporting roles in back-

to-back romantic comedies with last

weeks Friends With Benefits and

this weeks Crazy, Stupid, Love,

Stones profile shoots higher with

the Aug. 10 debut of The Help, co-

starring Viola Davis, Bryce Dallas

Howard and Octavia Spencer.

I knew that every little boy atschool was obsessed with Spidey. I

saw all the Sam Raimi movies, but

I had not read the comics until I

got involved. And now Im a ridic-

ulously enormous Spider-Man fan.
