Page 16 Daily Nebraskan Summer 1937 By Daily Nebraskan Entertainment Staff Brain Hammer Vicious parody band. A novelty metal act with a Spinal Tap fixation, led by Cornhusker start ing fullback Micah Heibel. Contrary to Q-102 and the Daily Nebraskan calendar, the band is not called Brian Hammer and knows no one by that name. Mannequin Beach Thrash punk sensibility but not above a Van Halen cover now and then. Defenders of the New West-Share members with Brain Hammer. Cowpunk without the stigmas normally attached to that label. Come to rockabilly by way of the Ramones and can still keep old folks two-stepping on the dance floor. Justin Morgan Top 40, Heavy Metal cover band. Pedestrian. Nice hair. Cymbals by Zildjian. Amethyst All-woman grass roots happy-band. Tinges of reggae, blues and American folk music. Socially con scious, apparently. Finnsters Grotesquely cheerful pop cover ban! specializing in grotes quely cheerful '60s music (i.e. Mon kees, Tommy James, Neil Diamond, bubblegum rock), with diversions into '60s influenced '80s alternative pop (R.E.M., et. al.). Some like-minded originals. Pop, pop, pop. 13 Nightmares By their own description, sonic folk. Sloppy, fren zied guitar band with more than a few nods toward the Replacements (sloppy, frenzied). With a gravel-voiced lead singer, a jangly guitarist, a strong level bass holding the whole maelstrom to gether and always a different drummer. Mostly originals. Covers depend on the band's erratic moods. T Page me t Paperback Book Exchange We sell used paperbacks at tpaba H the cover price, including hnnkc ncorl in lirnratnrp rlacpc. 13th Ik U (Uunny s) 44-0310 V I rr-W Brandy House band at the Speakeasy. Basically white blues with all the improvements and drawbacks that label suggests. Good sound, musi cal proficiency. Little soul. Trout Mystery Thrash pop that's endlessly hooky. Mostly originals but some strange covers can come to the surface if they're in the mood. Ever hear a hardcore trashing of "What I Like About You"? Didn't think so. Silly name. Contagious. Powerful. New Brass Guns Melodic, well-crafted pop in the 10,000 Maniacs vein. Vocalist Lori Allison manages to make a very derivative sound distinc tive by providing an intoxicating mix of avant dissonance and '40s songbird perfection. Those Guys Accessible alter native pop. Half originals, half covers. Slick and tight. Definite crowd-pleasers. The Loose Professional main stream rock. Splash Note-for-note Top 40 cover band. Been in Lincoln for 600 years. Charlie Burton and the Hic cups The granddaddy of local music plays wild, funny rockabilly with a twist of Hendrix. Four nationally noted albums are available. The band has an obsessed following in the area but has not received nearly enough attention from the outside world. One of the few bands in the world you actu ally believe when they say they've paid their dues. John Walker Nebraska Wes leyan professor is kind of a more amia ble version of Leon Redbone with a slightly more exciting bottleneck gui tar style.

Townsend in "Hollywood Shuffle." Film is art at Sheldon By Chris McCubbin Staff Reporter Not all movies are films, and not all films are movies. A movie is a movie when it's making money for a studio. A film is a film when it's art. That's why UNL's on-campus thea tre is called The Sheldon Film Thea tre. It's not here to provide students with a couple hours of escapism. The Sheldon is here to show the UNL community the state of the art of cinema. The Sheldon Film Theatre is locat ed in the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery. The 294 set theatre opened in 1973. "The theatre shows films that would not ordinarily be seen here in Lincoln." He said the Sheldon spe cializes in American independent films films not made by the big Hollywood studios, and foreign films," said Dan Ladely, director of the Sheldon Film Theatre. Animation is the recurring theme at Sheldon this summer, with Will Vinton's 'Festival of Claymation" July 16 through 19 and "The 19th International Tournee of Animation," Aug. 20 through Aug. 23. Five pro grams of animated and live-action shorts for children and adults will be shown at the Flatwater Festival, June 19 through 21. That same week documentary filmmaker Robert Mugge will be present at a retrospective of his films, which profile popular musi cians. "Hollywood Shuffle," produced by, directed by and starring Robert Townsend, plays June 25 through 28. About this film Siskel and Ebert said, "Eddie Murphy, move over Robert Townsend has arrived." "Working Girls," by Lizzie Borden, is the saga of a single shift at a Manhattan brothel. It will show from July 9 to July 12. Also examin ing '80s sexuality from a feminist perspective is Bette Gordon's "Var iety," showing from Aug. 13 to 16. Eleven features in all will be shown for the Sheldon's summer schedule. Two filmmakers are scheduled to appear at the Sheldon this fall. D. A. Pennebaker is a key figure in the history of the documentary film. Pennebaker is co-inventor of hand held 16 millimeter sound and camera, which revolutionized documentary filmmaking. Pennebaker is best known for his groundbreaking rock 'n' roll films like "Monterrey Pop," and "Don't Look Back," a record of Bob Dylan on a concert tour of Great Britain. Another documentary filmmaker, Michael Blackwood, will appear at Sheldon in conjunction with a ser ies of his architectural films. Admission to the Sheldon is usu ally $4 for both students and the public. New Student Enrollment is your first step in making UNL your new home.
