Justin Morgan spends week
performing 'back at home'
By Troy Park
Staff Reporter
The Royal Grove Nite Club has been
the scene of the hard rocking sounds of
Justin Morgan, a Lincoln-based band,
this week.
REVIEWi
Crowd enthusiasm at the first per
formance "of the week was average,
though not at fever-pitch as would be
expected for a band with the look and
sound of Justin Morgan. Perhaps it was
because JM's sound system wasn't
cranked up loud enough. The rafters
weren't shaking and it was too bad,
because JM normally plays rafter-shaking
music.
Bassist Mike Kornelson, drummer
John Kent, keyboardist Randy Car,
guitarist Eddie Landu and lead singer
Alan King played for about 90 minutes.
King, decked out in snake-skin pants
and shirt plus some hairy "bigfoot"
type boots, shared singing duties occa
sionally with Carr. King occasionally
plays rhythm guitar.
Carr, whose short hair and glasses
take a backdrop to his tough looking
stage dress, sang about a third of JM's
set. His stage dress consisted of skin
tight, shiny blue spandex and a white
half-shirt with a blue Star of David on
it
The whole band, in fact, was impres
sively dressed in the same vein as Ratt
and Aerosmith. As a Midwest bar band,
the look is fun, but on a serious
national scale, it's been overdone.
To go along with the cool stage
apparel, and to make up for the lack of
ear-ringing decibles, was the lightshow.
The stage was drenched in pretty
blues, yellows and pinks. Above the
dance floor, two spinning helicopters
further enhanced the surroundings. A
bright spotlight also accented the
show.
Standing out musically was guitarist
Eddie Landu. Landu's leads were very
quick. He spent most of the evening
standing on the tall bank of speakers
located on his left side of the stage. It
had to be inspiring to any beginning
guitarist, or any guitarist for that mat
ter, to see Landu standing atop the
mountain of speakers, spotlight on him
playing his 'ax.'
Justin Morgan was formed three
years ago in York, bassist Mike Kornel
son said. Kornelson is the only remain
ing member from the original lineup.
Playing cover tunes from such bands
as ZZ Top, Kiss, Dokken and Van Halen,
Justin Morgan has previously performed
in Lincoln at Little Bo Center and
Judges.
"Colorado's the main place where
we play a lot," Kornelson said, Denver
being the most-played spot in the
mountain state. Justin Morgan has also
ventured to Wyoming.
Justin Morgan plays at the Grove
through Saturday. On Sunday they will
be performing at the Pinewood Bowl at
Pioneers Park. Gates open at 12 p.m.,
music starts at 1 p.m.
