_ . Sandy Summers/DN A PATRON puts down a pint of brew at one of Lincoln1* newest bars, 6ame Day Bar & Grill, 421S. Ninth St. New bar hails NU fans By Sean McCarthy Staff Reporter They needed a place to hang out, so they created a bar. That’s the story of about 60 owners of Game Day Bar & Grill, 421 S. Ninth St. Several owners are associated with the UNL Volleyball Match Club, mak ing the establishment one of the pre mier places to hit after taking in a vol leyball game. The bar offers a smaller, more inti mate atmosphere than most sports bars in Lincoln, manager Jim Wheeler said. With one major big screen television and several smaller television sets, Game Day offers patrons a comfortable view from anywhere in the bar. In addition to beer and spirits, Game Day also serves lunch and din ner. Traditional items on the menu include hamburgers, chicken strips, French dips and cold sandwiches. Wheeler said he’s trying to make pop pers the most well-known food at Game Day. One interesting popper on the menu includes a triple-cheese tequi la popper - approach it with caution. Game Day opened its doors Aug. 1. It took three months of planning and only three weeks to get the bar open. Located where Ninth Street Blues and Rhiney’s once were, the bar has a good location, Wheeler said. “Trouble’s less likely to happen next to the county building,” he said of the bar’s judicial and law enforcement neighbors. is parking. Unlike most downtown bars, Game Day has a parking lot. With more than 100 stalls available, ample parking is a big advantage in attracting customers, Wheeler said. “We’re able to be the last stop and the first stop for people downtown,” Wheeler said. Aside from the beer specials for football Saturday, Game Day has other means of attracting Husker fans. The bar opens at 7 a.m. every football Saturday, serving breakfast to early ris ers. Throughout game days, sloppy Joes and hot dogs will be sold at low prices, Wheeler said. The bar’s word-of-mouth advertis ing has been positive, Wheeler said. KLIN, 1400 AM, is already broadcast ing their Pigskin Preview show at Game Day every Friday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. In-addition, KTGL, 92.9 FM, will play host to a Friday Afternoon Club at Game Day before Ihe Washington game against Nebraska. Though Game Day may get noisy during big games, the bar stresses a laid-back atmosphere, Wheeler said. “We offer better service,” Wheeler said. “It’s a place where college kids may bring their parents.” Boogie Shoes diversify with sophomore effort Boogie Shoes “bust it... bust it... bust it...” NoVo Records Grade: B+ Freak, freak, ya’ll. The fiink, hip-hop, acid-jazz band Boogie Shoes, hailing from Chicago, released their second album, “bust it... bust it... bust it ...” Aug. 29. The record contains much of the same style that has made the Shoes a major focus of the Chicago music scene, but it also adds some new twists differing from the band’s first release, “Greatest Hits, Vol. 1.” The core of the Boogie Shoes is still the same, with Mister D on vocals and trombone, MCB on vocals and AA (pronounced “Double A”) on guitar and backup vocals. However, the band has recruited a new drummer, Monster Matt, and their most recent addition is SG on bass. While the band still relies on funk-centered grooves to rap over throughout the album, the songs are not as tight and short as on then first album. The band now relies more heavily on extended guitar and bass lines, as well as additional scratches and samples, most notice ably on the tunes “Breakdance,” and “Freak, Freak.” The songs on this record are much more diverse than on the last one, with a James Brown-influ enced flavor on “Soul Trippinand a Spearhead-esque “Have to Laugh.” The numerous styles keep the album intriguing from start to finish, despite its whopping 65 min utes and 23-track length. Just as was the case with then first album, though, the band is in top form when Mister D is on trom bone. Playing on songs including “Flying Pan” and “Hometeam,” he highlights the album on “Otherside,” a sing-along groove with a great smoothed-out section sung by MCB. The band hasn’t lost its sense of humor either, with comic shorts appearing throughout, such as “Right, Right,” and “Fleetwood Fontaine.” The album comes to a close with a live version of “Power,” a track that appeared on the vinyl sin gle of last album’s “Passin’ Back N Forth.” The song was recorded live at the Metro in Chicago and dis plays the Boogie Shoes doing what they do best - bustin’ it at a show. While no dates have been set, the band should be making a stop in the Omaha/Lincoln area in the near future. Many record stores are not yet carrying “bust it... bust it... bust it ...” but it can be purchased by writing No Vo Records at 208 LaSalle STE 1400, Chicago, IL, 60604, or by phone at (773) 509 2946. -Patrick Miner Correction A story that ran on Wednesday incorrectly gave the address of “Peacestock ’97.” The benefit for the Food Bank of Lincoln will be held at the Antelope Park band shell, accessible by following Memorial Drive south from 30th and A streets.
