The Chesterfield Zone. But somehow
the feeling's not the same. A bar, a
band, some drinks usually that's the
extent of your evening off from school.
But tonight you're in for a surprise.
There's a band, but you've never seen
anyone quite like it before. It's Cockey
Monroe.
REVIEW
LINCOLN MUSIC REVIEW
Time for an explanation. Cockey
Monroe; Danny Shonerd (lead vocals,
lead guitar), Terry Pieper (back-up
vocals and bass), Ken Nelson (back-up
vocals and synthesizers), Al "Vito"
LoBrillo (electronic, drums) and Eric
Shanks (percussion and random danc
ing), is a bunch of guys with almost all
original music. That may not make
them too original these days in local-band-filled
Lincoln. But what they've
also got going for them is an atmos
phere; their attitude as a band makes
you feel like you're not in a bar any
more. Maybe you're in a club some
where, seeing a band you've never seen
before. And that band is interesting.
You shouldn't feel like you've never
seen these guys before. Danny and
Terry were with the Movie Eyes (another
local band) since 1981, with Ken later
joining that band. Eric has been a part
of many bands around Lincoln for the
past few years, most recently with the
Frets. And Al has been "playing with a
lot of different blues bands." He won't
name names. In any case, these guys
have been around town for some time
now. So what's so different?
Part of it has to be that the entire
band is concerned with putting for
ward a unified effort. Personnel prob
lems plagued their previous bands, but
Cockey Monroe has a system worked
out: no personnel problems.
The band, as a whole, is geared
toward producing something different.
That's where Danny (the writer) comes
in. When asked what influences the
band's music includes, the answer is
simply everything. Danny writes the
words and basic melodies, and it's up
to the rest of these vastly influenced
musicians to mess around and give
each other input until they come up
with their own parts. Terry calls it
artistic freedom.

Cockey Monroe
Lately, Danny has been coming to
the band with less complete songs and
more vague ideas, such as an idea for a
beat and words and a melody. This
exemplifies, Terry says, what direction
the band is going and how they're put
ting things together.
Ever since the Movie Eyes, the core
of the band has been receiving offers of
contracts with record companies if
they would only do a very few things.
Due to personnel problems, these deals
didn'.t work out. But this time, the band
is using its professional image to the
hilt. They want to be recording, and
they are accumulating money so that
they can supply the record companies
with what they want: quality tapes,
photos, etc.
But while they're waiting, Cockey
Monroe is working on new music. Their
huge combination of people and ideas
all comes back to the fact that they all
come from around here. Geographi
cally, they're the true Midwestern rock-n-roll
band.
Their show is clean and rhythm
tight, and the lighting and sound sys
tem may make you feel like you're not
in a bar. But you will be. And you'll
probably hear a new mix of every kind
of music you've ever heard before. But
don't be surprised. Let them show you.
Cockey Monroe will play Saturday
night at Chesterfield, Bottomsley and
Potts in a benefit for missing children.
Three bands to play benefit show
The newly reformed Progress, Cockey
Monroe and Partly Dave will perform at
a benefit for missing children at Ches
terfield, Bottomsley and Potts Saturday
starting at 9 p.m.
Admission to the three-band show is
$3, and all proceeds from the event will
go to local efforts to locate missing
children.
Liz Panarelli, a UNL business admin
istration student and bass player for
Progress, said the event will be the first
"gig" for the band since it reformed
about a month ago. Progress now in
cludes Panarelli, guitarist Bruce Nel
son, led vocalist Sara Kovanda, drum
mer Rodney McCoy, keyboardist Bruce
Simmons and percussionist Thurman
Hoskins.
Panarelli said Progress now plays all
original soul and funk band music
"with a driving beat.
"There really aren't bands doing this
king of music in Lincoln," she said.
"We want to get into the local dance
scene."
The benefit is co-sponsored by St.
Elizabeth's Community Health Center
and Selection Research Inc. of Lincoln.
Cockey Monroe and Partly Dave are
both rock-and-roll bands. Cockey Mon
roe played at the bar last Friday night.
