Friday. May 3, 1985 Daily Ncbraskan Page 11 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.
