Tex-Mex rock, El Salvadoran band
to spice up Lincoln’s music scene
By Mick Dyer
Staff Previewer
Live music is in no short supply
in Lincoln this week.
Tonight, Castration and Leafy
Green Things will play at Duffy’s
Tavern, 1412 O St. Be prepared for
a show full of surprises. Leafy
Green Things is known for its
spontaneous and sometimes irrev
erent behavior on stage, as well as
for playing mood-altering rock ‘n’
roll, and who knows what Castra
tion has up its musical sleeves.
Also tonight, Jazz Underground
will play at the Zoo Bar, 136 N.
14th St. One of Lincoln’s few per
forming jazz bands — known for
playing straight-ahead jazz with
some salsa and blues thrown in for
good measure — Jazz Under
ground’s following has been stead
ily growing.
Tonight through Saturday, 30
Touch will play at The Royal
Grove Nite Club, 340 W. Com
husker Highway.
Thursday, Preston Love will
play at Julio’s, 132 S. 13th St.
Also Thursday, the Sir Douglas
Quintet featuring Doug Sahm and
Augie Meyer will play at the Zoo
Bar. The Sir Douglas Quintet is a
veteran Texas R&B group that
pioneered the popular Tex-Mex
rock ‘n’ roll sound back in the
1960s. Doug Sahm, Augie Meyer
and the rest of the Sir Douglas
Quintet were clearly ahead of their
time. And with blaring horns,
Sahm’s searing vocals and
Meyer’s rollcr-rink Farfisa, the Sir
Douglas Quintet continues to tear
/ it up like a Texas tornado on stage.
Friday and Saturday, Bobby
Curious will play at Chesterfield’s,
Lower Level 245 N. 13th St.
Known for Bobby’s crazy antics
on stage and for playing popular
cover rock, Bobby Curious has
developed a pretty strong follow
ing in Lincoln.
Also Friday and Saturday, Scan
and Laurie Beniamin will plav at
the Mountains, 311S. 11th St. Out
standing acoustic folk music.
Friday and Saturday, Bugs
Henderson and the Shuffle Kings
will play at the Zoo Bar. Another
veteran Texas bluesman, Bugs
Henderson is an impressive guitar
player, to say the least. Relying
solely on his ability to make his
instrument coo and croon, rattle
like a gattling gun or rip like light
ning across a dry desert sky, Hen
derson doesn’t need a flashy stage
show. His laconic presence on
stage and understated vocals de
liver the message powerfully
enough, over and over again.
Needless to say, Bugs Henderson
is respected by many Texas blues
musicians,* and his music speaks
for itself.
Friday through Sunday, the
Sandy Creek Band will play at The
Prospector, 640 W. Van Dorn St.
The Sandy Creek band played at
the Haymarkct Festival last Satur
day afternoon. The band has enter
tained audiences with its good
time blucgrass music for a tong
time.
Monday, the Tablcrockcrs will
play at the Zoo Bar. After recently
adding a new vocalist to its line
up, Annette Nuriel, the Tablerock
crs knocked out audiences at the
Haymarket festival last weekend.
Playing a variety of Texas and
Chicago blues from the ’50s and
’60s, the Tablerockers have been
Lincoln’s premiere blues band for
about 12 years now.
Tuesday, Too Smooth will play
at the Zoo Bar. A blues-based rock
band with some Southern influ
ence, featuring some fine two- and
three-part vocal harmonies, Too
Smooth was voted Fastlane maga
zine’s Lincoln R&B band of 1989.
Too Smooth also appeared at the
Haymarket Festival last weekend.
Also Tuesday, R.E.M. will play
at the Pershing Municipal Audito
rium, 226 Centennial Mall South.
Probably one of the most influen
tial alternative rock bands of the
’80s, this band needs no introduc
tion. At the peak of its commercial
popularity, come see Michael
Stipe gel annoyed by an audience
with a median age of 17, like he has
the last several times the band has
played in Nebraska. Opening for
R.E.M. is NRBQ.
Tuesday, Yolocamba I-TA, an
internationally acclaimed band
from El Salvador, will perform its
unusual blend of traditional and
modem Latin music in the Union
Ballroom. Combining the excite
ment of modem Latin music with
the poignancy of traditional bal
lads, Yolocamba I-TA’s captivat
ing sound was featured in Oliver
Stone’s Academy Award-nomi
nated film “Salvador.’’

Programs study AIDS and racism
By Mark Lage
Senior Reporter
A program providing further in
formation on the AIDS epidemic and
two shows on China’s past highlight a
week of timely programming.
Tonight at 7 p.m, ABC’s Peter
Jennings will anchor the third edition
of The AIDS Quarterly, which is
closed-captioned for the hearing
impaired.
Most of the program will focus on
AIDS and racism. It will include is
sues of leadership and other social
factors which have teamed up with
the virus to attack weakened families
and already-depressed communities.
An additional segment of the
AIDS program looks at the unique
implications of the disease for
women. Since women with AIDS do
not develop the same infections as
men, they do not fall within the Cen
ter for Disease Control’s definition of
AIDS. Therefore, infected women
are not eligible for benefits, clinical
drug trials or early intervention in the
processes of their afflictions.
Following The AIDS Quarterly
tonight will be “China in Revolution,
1911-1949,’ ’ beginning at 8 p.m. The
show offers viewers a context for the
recent turbulence in China by re
counting one of the country’s most
turbulent periods in modem history.
The film, also closcd-captioncd,
documents the rise to power of
China’s opposing leaders in the long,
bloody revolution - nationalist
Chiang Kai-shek, and communist
Mao Ze-dong. The heart of the two
hour program will be the stories of
Chinese people who survived the
civil strife.
Friday night NETV will air an
other show dealing with China, “Old
Friends Return to China,” beginning
at 9 p.m. The show focuses on the
experiences of two women - Ameri
can Margaret Stanley, and English
woman Elizabeth Hughes - who
worked as nurses in the civil war-tom
China, 40 years ago.
Other programs on NETV for the
remainder of the week:
•”Lost Angeles,” tonight, 10:30
p.m., is an intimate look into the lives
of a group of homeless people in an
urban campground” of Los Ange
les.
• ’’And the Pursuit of Happi
ness," 10 p.m. Friday, profiles
America s immigrants, including il
legal aliens. 6
• “Andy Warhol,” 11:30 p.m,
Saturday, is the first major profile of
Uw artist’s life since his death in
19b7. It includes previous!'' unre
leased footage of Warhol.
