Courtesy photo The Buzz mixes blues, contemporary By Cliff Hicks StaffReporter The Zoo Bar will be abuzz with the music of The Buzz Saturday night. Unlike the dozens of other bands that blend into the background, mem bers of the Buzz say they think they have something new to offer crowds: a mixture of blues and contemporary rock. “The reason why we’re different is that we play both blues clubs and al ternative rock clubs,” said Chris Bernhardt, bassist and vocalist for the band. Not only have they played with blues legend Buddy Guy, they’ve opened for the Oklahoma band The Flaming Lips, both within a two-day span. The Buzz is from Chicago, where they’ve been doing a lot of shows. The band got together in 1993 and regu larly had a jam session at Buddy Guy’s club, Legends’. At that point it was only a three some: Bernhardt; Frank Blinkal, on guitars and vocals; and John Hanrdhan as the drummer. In 1995, after adding saxophone player Jay Moynihan as well as doing a stint of studio work and touring as a back-up band, the Buzz started play ing on their own, opening for acts like The New Duncan Imperials, Rollover and Otis Rush. Since then the band has been try ing to expand its touring base. This will be The Buzz’s first show in Nebraska. “We’re trying to branch out,” Bernhardt said. “We’ve been playing regionally, around Chicago a lot, and we’ll be in Iowa City the day before and Omaha the day after.” According to Bernhardt, things are going well for the band. “We’re still doing it on our own right now, but business is becoming big,” he said. “We recorded a demo just a little while ago and we’re trying to get a booking agent right now.” The Buzz will play at the Zoo Bar, opening for John Primer. The show will start at 9 p.m. Cover charge is $5. REVUE from page 12 exposure by giving them an opening slot, even if the music is not exactly what you’d expect to hear at a Kiss concert. But the members of RCR under stand that. They have played for all kinds of audiences, in many settings, including snowboard competitions and heavy metal festivals. “We’ve played in front of strange crowds before,” he said. “We’re really looking forward to it, but we’re not out to convert anyone. “If people give us 30 minutes, we’ll entertain them.” If you want a sneak preview of Royal Crown Revue, the band is mak ing a couple of special guest appear ances in Lincoln. They will be at Camelot Music in Gateway Mall Tues day from 6 to 8 p.m., and at 10:30 at Duffy’s Thvem, 1412 O St., for an ex clusive performance.
