This just landed in my inbox. I've seen Trout Mystery once. Same with Sideshow, I think. I've seen the Self Righteous Brothers more times than I can recall. And now, the chance to see them all again...
For those who have only heard about the rich musical heritage of the Lincoln music scene, and heard the epic sagas about the bands...
- Like the one about Mike Keeling single-handedly defeating the Gorgothons and saving the Earth
- Or the one about how Bernie McGinn saved all the baby seals on the planet by staving off crazed killer eskimos with only his bass and his courage
- Or the time that Terry Peiper saved the honor of all the nuns in Lincoln just by staying home
Sure, you've heard the stories, but maybe you didn't actually witness such things for yourself, because maybe you were too young to see them for yourself, or you didn't live in Lincoln at the time.
If that's the case then Duffy's Tavern is going to rectify that situation for you!
On Saturday 11/25, Duffy's is holding it's annual Hall of Fame induction ceremony to honor the great bands of Lincoln, and this year they're inducting 3 more awesome Lincoln bands: The Self-Righteous Brothers, Trout Mystery, and Sideshow
There will be a brief award ceremony followed by performances by the bands.
If you never got to see any of these bands, this is likely your last and only chance to see them again, Don't miss it!
You can learn more about these great bands (and hundreds of others) by going to the Starcityscene.com Encyclopedia of Lincoln Bands.
There's still video up on starcityscene.com of New Brass Guns acceptance speech and some of their performance from last year's ceremony.

I went to school with Bernie.
I missed that last year.
I used to live with Mr. Keelo. Kind of wish it was a Leafy Green Things reunion and not a SRB show.
SRB actually was born in my bedroom. Brian J. would crash at our place and he would borrow my casio keyboard and my 4-track and started writing those crazy things while I was at work.
But it's not as gay as it sounds...
Oh, and I was in a band with Dave Sullivan...
I feel like such a name dropper.
wish i could be there.... WHAATT? No Middle Monkey? Where's the justice?
Middle Monkey will have their day. I know it in my heart. "I Drink" is a timeless local classic.
Where the hell is Eric anyway? And does anyone alive still remember the Brickyard? That would really take me back to my minor days of passing out on Schnapps. Glory days...
a round of beer to all my friends- i'll drink to your health until the end.
Eric is still married and bikes all over.
Where's the sissies love? 1000 cigarettes... bellied up to the bar.
