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.
