Sidekick wants to take Lincoln
By Kathy Shults
Staff Reporter
The members of Sidekick are vet
erans of the music scene, said band
member Dave Kotinek.
The Kearney-based trio is sched
uled to play at Chesterfield, 3ot
tomsley and Potts, 245 N. 13th St.,
Friday and Saturday at 9 p.m. No
cover will be charged.
The band includes Kotinek on lead
guitar and lead vocals, bassist Kris
Chelf and most recent member Monty
Foster on drums. Kotinek and Chelf
have been in Sidekick for 3 1/2 years.
Foster joined the group in May.
The band play s ’ 60s and ’ 70s dance
music as well as current sounds that
“fit in,” Kotinek said. Their play list,
consisting of more than 160 songs,
ranges from the Ramones, the Smith
ereens and Squeeze to Tom Petty,
Crowded House and U2.
Kotinek said their following in
Kearney is a col lege crowd. He said he
hopes to attract a similar group in
Lincoln this weekend.
Sidekick played at Chesterfield’s
and The Drumstick last year, but
Kotinek said the band had little im
pact. That might have been because of
lack of exposure, Kotinek said. This
will be their first appearance in Lin
coln this year.
“We’ve never seemed to have
much luck in Lincoln,” he said.
“Every time we were in Lincoln it
seemed that Kearney fans or people
from neighboring towns we’d played
would show up. But the Lincoln
people just weren’t into us.”
Brady Wiebeck, Chesterfield’s
manager, hopes to give Sidekick the
exposure they need this weekend.
“The Finnsters were such a hot
band here, and people seem to really
appreciate bands that can do ’60s and
’70s music — the dance music and
such,” he said.
Wiebeck said he’s impressed with
Sidekick’s vocals and craftsmanship
as musicians.
“For all the millions of bands I’ve
heard, they’re definitely one of the
best," Wiebeck said.
“Sidekick is a band that every self
respecting Finnster maniac would
come to love,” said Chesterfield’s
employee Dominic Brazda, who
heard the band during their last Lin
coln visit.
As for the band’s name, there’s no
cute anecdote behind it. Kotinek said
it was a matter of needing a name and ■
needing it fast.

man in a while scarf (Peter
Lorre) flee the building. The
reporter has an incredible cx
prcssionistic dream in which he
is railroaded in the same fashion
as the ex-con. In reality he is
arraigned, while his fiancee
searches the sleazy New York
streets for the white-scarved
maniac. Lorre is suitably slimy
and the nightmarish dream se
quence is mind-boggling. A

“Night of the Ghouls”
(1959) Kenne Duncan, Tor
Johnson.
You can warm up for UPC
Trash Film Festival’s next Fri
day showing of Ed Wood Jr.’s
“Plan Nine from Outer Space”
by viewing this crapola. Made
by Wood in ’59, it was locked in
storage, where it fermented for
20 years because Wood didn’t
have the dough to get the film
processed. A group of bad ac
tors converge on the house of a
has-been serial actor (Kennc
Duncan, half-bagged as Dr.
Acula) for a seance. Narrated by
loony TV psychic Criswell
(“monsters to be pitied, mon
sters to be despised!”). Special
effects include a mumbling guy
with a lampshade on his head, a
floating trumpet and 350-pound
wrestler Tor Johnson as a ghoul.
Great dialogue. Remember, it’s
a nightmare of fiendish horrors.
Watch it, if you’ve got any guts.
It’s available at The Video Sta
tion, 66th and O streets.
