Clodhopper funk. That phrase is one
used to describe one of Lincoln's fresh
est new bands, the Lunchcats, perform
ing Friday and Saturday night at the
Drumstick.
Band members agree, their efforts
are a conglomeration of country, funk,
heavy metal and pop.
"It's a totally divergent thing here
strange threads have come together
and I hope they weave themselves into
a chord," said Bruce Nelson, guitarist
for the Lunchcats.
The Lunchcats, with Sara Kovanda
on vocals and keyboards, Mark Penner
on bass, Bruce Nelson on guitar and
Rodney McCoy on drums formed in mid
July of this year.
In three months, they've created
enough original material to do two sets.
Kovanda, former lead vocalist for the
Click and Progress, writes all of their
material.
Songwriter Kovanda also has an
overpowering stage presence.
"We put everything into it every ,
single performance," Kovanda said.
"We're looking to be a show, a produc
tion. If people can dance, they will
dance, and if they don't, they will be
thoroughly entertained by what they
see."
One entertaining aspect is the
band's multi-image "dissolving slide
show," put together by Daniel Westra.
"It's a combination of different ani
mated short subjects. They're all dif
ferent," Westra said. "Some show a
sequence and the beginning and the
end make sense. It (the slide show)
does something exciting. It's based on
the same type of concept as the 'Plastic
Exploding Inevitable' by the Velvet
Underground."
Spontaneity is another aspect of the
Lunchcats' shows Kovanda has been
known to open packages and put on
lipstick while performing on stage.
"We don't even know what we're
gonna do sometimes," she said.
Goose lights, mother goose rings and
eccentric dress have all been part of
the Lunchcats' performances.
Kovanda is capable of making a dress
to wear five minutes before a show,
McCoy reported.
The Lunchcats just finished a tour in
Iowa which the band called a great
succes.
"It was great," McCoy said. "People
in Iowa are real responsive. Everyone
respects live music there. It's a differ
entiatmosphere." Nelson believes that Iowa has more
of a "club atmosphere" than Nebraska,
but said Lincoln is lucky to have clubs
like The Drumstick and The Zoo.
"People should realize how valuable
clubs are they give bands a chance.
I'm looking forward to the 1990s and to
seeing something solidify in Lincoln.
There's a serious attitude in creating a
scene here. It just takes a couple of
people to stick their necks out to
create it. Maybe we'd like to try and do
that or be a stepping stone to someone
else," Nelson said.
"We're planning on making a video
someday. It'll be a combination of live
action and animation," Westra said.
"It'll be our own little version of 'War
and Peace,' " Penner added.
Band members said they would like
to tour more. "It's fun on the road,"
Penner said.
The Lunchcats said their goal is to
become a successful band. However,
Penner said, he won't be happy until
"all of our faces are on lunchboxes."
Kovanda said one of her goals is "to be
on the Phil Donahue Show."
For now, the group is working on
establishing a local reputation.

DEAD from Page 9
Flouride is everywhere with his long
necked bass, spinning, his white shirt
flying. Jello is lying on the stage, his
head over the edge. The skinheads leap
onto the stage and somersault off into
the mass: double flips, belly flops,
mayhem only slightly controlled. East
Bay Ray is exceeding noise limits on his
guitar. The owner of Rainbow Sounds
has his back turned.
"Slam dancing is fine. Jumping off
the stage is great. But are any of you
really listening? Do any of you under
stand what we're saying?" Jello, who
can hear?
"You such like a leachyou
want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you hitchso you
can get richAut the boss gets
richer off you... "
The police in Amsterdam arrested a
friend of one of the Kennedys' roadies.
"They got him on the ground and they
were kicking him and kicking him and
kicking him. The mob that had gathered
burned practically every police station
in the city. You don't hear that on tele
vision...! guess this is a good time for
'Let's Lynch the Landlord " incites
Biafra.
"Roaches up to my kneesturn
the oven on, it smells like Dachau,
yeahTil the rain pours through
the ceilingbut we can, we know
we canLets lynchthe landlord... "
That night, to get to sleep I
counted 15-year-old skinheads
leaping over my bed. I had this
dream: Jello Biafra was Pontious
Pilate and he was asking a whole
room full of leather Jesus' "What
is truth?"
