By Rachel Nelson Luke Holder has been strumming his guitar and singing into Amarillo microphones as the front man of his own band for years, and the past 2and-a-half have been spent jamming with local group “DONK!”. “We just finished an album, and we’re about to release that in a couple of months,” he said. Holder said he has released four albums on his own since 1999, but this is DONK!’s first recording. Although the release date is not yet set, Holder said all 11 songs already can be heard on the Internet by visiting myspace.com/lukeholder and myspace.com/donktexas. Holder calls DONK! Amarillo’s “soul boogie bar band” and said the fourpiece can be spotted playing locally at the Golden Light Cantina, Burberry’s, Marty’s and occasionally at the Amarillo Museum of Art’s Third Thursday events.

MEMBERS OF DONK! Luke Holder - Guitar, Vox; Justin Hedgecoth - Bass; Rick Faucett - Pedal Steel; Drew “Rick Diculus” Holder - Drums
“Our main agenda is for (our audience) to have a good time, and we try to provide quality entertainment to make that happen,” he said. Holder’s brother, Drew Holder, plays drums for the band and owns AMP Studio in Amarillo, where DONK!’s album was recorded. “We’re a bunch of guys who just love to play music, and that’s what we’re doing,” Drew Holder said. DONK! delves in different styles of music and does not limit their playing to one genre. They use a pedal steel guitar, played by Rick Faucett, which is an instrument normally associated with country music. But DONK! is not a country band. In fact, according to Drew Holder, it’s hard to put DONK! into one musical category because each member brings different tastes and influences to the group. “All four of us are from different backgrounds of music, and that’s what really makes us unique, I think,” Drew Holder said. “If you looked at all of our record collections then there would be totally different music all around.” Three quarters of the band’s live performance is made up of original music, Drew Holder said. The covers they do include songs by Creedence Clearwater Revival, Neil Young and Willie Nelson. “We definitely don’t play anything that anyone else is playing in town,” Drew Holder said.

The band’s name, an example of onamatapoeia accented with an exclamation point, is a symbol of the group’s enthusiasm. “It’s just a fun word,” Luke Holder said. “People like to scream it.” Drew Holder said the name came to exist at one of the group’s practices and has since become “a brand new cuss word.” “We were practicing, and the bass player, Justin Hedgecoth, hit a wrong note, and it sounded like a ‘donk’,” he said. According to Luke Holder, DONK! plays for fun and is not striving to win a Grammy any time soon. Their main goal is to “continue making the best music we can make,” he said. “We’re going to do what we do and see where it takes us and play as much as we can.” Upcoming acts include a performance at Marty’s in Amarillo, 2740 Westhaven Vlg., January 16 at 9:00 p.m. They also have been selected to play for High Plains Public Radio’s Living Room Concert Series on February 13 at 7 p.m., a gig Luke Holder said DONK! was flattered to get. That event will be held at HPPR’s studio at 101 S.W. 5th Ave., Suite 100, in Amarillo. For more information on that show, visit hppr.org/lrc.html. “I think people should come see us and support live music in Amarillo,” Luke Holder said. “ ... We deserve a chance. I think people would enjoy us if they’d just come and see us.” “The crowds are getting bigger and better all the time,” Drew Holder said. Stay up-to-date with DONK!’s schedule by visiting the myspace.com/donktexas.

movie releases BRIDE WARS Opens: January 9, 2009 Rated: PG Cast: Anne Hathaway, Kate Hudson, Candice Bergen, Kristen Johnston Director: Gary Winick Genres: Romantic Comedy, Comedy Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway) are best friends who since childhood have planned every detail of their respective weddings. At the top of their bridal “must have” list: a ceremony at New York’s ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel. Now, at age 26, they’re both about to get married; they’re about to realize their dreams; and they’re about to live happily ever after. When a clerical error causes a clash in wedding dates they’re now to be married on the same date! - Liv, Emma and their lifelong friendship are put to the ultimate test. Liv, a successful lawyer who is used to getting what she wants, including the perfect job and the perfect man, won’t settle for anything less than the perfect wedding she has dreamed of for years. Emma, a schoolteacher who has always been good at taking care of others, but not so much in looking after herself, discovers her inner Bridezilla and comes out swinging when her own dream wedding is imperiled.

Today they are best known for ball-handling and comedy routines, but the Globetrotters have a long history of serious basketball play, and their beginnings were modest. The Harlem Globetrotters have played in over 115 countries for more than 120 million fans. They have scored over 20,000 victories, and only 332 losses. They surpass every other team in the history of sports for number of games played. Today they are best known for their wildly-entertaining comedic routines and ball-handling skills on the court, and of course that famous song, “Sweet Georgia Brown.” But the Harlem Globetrotters have a long history of serious basketball play and their beginnings were modest. Founded in 1926 in Chicago by a 24 year-old named Abe Saperstein, the original team was called the “Savoy Big Five,” named after Chicago’s famous Savoy Ballroom, where they played many of their early games. The first game they ever played was in Hinckley, Illinois on January 7, 1927, during which the team sported jerseys with the words “‘NEW YORK” printed on them, to give the impression that they were from the city. Eventually their name evolved from “Savoy Big Five” to “Saperstein’s New York Globetrotters” to the “Harlem New York Globetrotters” and finally just the “Harlem Globetrotters,” all in an effort to make it clear that they were an all-black team that traveled the world. In fact, they didn’t actually play a game in Harlem until 1968. By 1934, eight years after their founding, the Globetrotters had played 1,000 games. This was quite a feat for an all-black team at the time — professional teams were “whites only,” so Saperstein had to work very hard to book games for his team. Saperstein acted as owner, manager, coach, publicity agent and even substitute for the team. With each passing year the Harlem Globetrotters’ playing strengthened, their popularity increased, and their tours lengthened. By 1936, they hit Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, Washington, and North and South Dakota. In 1939 the Globetrotters played in their first professional basketball

The dangers of a workplace romance are explored to hysterical effect in this romantic comedy from the creators of “Damn Yankees.” Conditions at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory are anything but peaceful, as sparks fly between new superintendent Sid Sorokin and Babe Williams, leader of the union grievance committee. Their stormy relationship comes to a head when the workers strike for a 7Ω-cent pay increase, setting off not only a conflict between management and labor, but a battle of the sexes as well.

championship tournament. They lost to the New York Renaissance (the Rens), but would return year after year to be victorious. 1939 also saw the beginnings of the now-classic Globetrotters’ antics. During a regular season game they were leading an opponent 112 to 5. The lead was so outrageous that it made for a boring game, so team members entertained themselves and the crowd by being a little silly. The crowd loved it and Saperstein was pleased. He told his team that the clowning around was acceptable, only after they had secured a safe lead. Saving their comic routines for strong-lead games, the Globetrotters continued serious ball play. 1946 saw both the team’s first overseas trip to the US Territory of Hawaii, and the establishment of the National Basketball Association (NBA), which was a “whites only” league that allowed game play against the all-black Globetrotters. From this point on, the Globetrotters toured internationally and would also, throughout the 50s, continuously compete against NBA teams. In 1951, the Globetrotters were called upon by the US State Department to help counteract a communist youth rally in East Germany. They played in the Allied section of Berlin to an enthusiastic crowd. In following years they played for three different popes, for the Hollywood cameras during the making of the 1951 film “The Harlem Globetrotters,” on the Ed Sullivan show and for sold-out crowds in the USSR and Eastern Europe. In 1958, they won their ninth-straight World Series of Basketball, and in 1959 they achieved their 7,000th career game and finished the season undefeated. They had risen to become one of the finest basketball teams in the world. A turning point came when the NBA broke their “whites only” ruling in 1950, and began to draft black players. This made it more difficult for Saperstein to keep the competitive edge in the Globetrotters, because many black players began to receive flashy offers from the NBA. Nonetheless, by the
time owner Abe Saperstein passed away in 1966, the Globetrotters had played 8,945 games, in more than 1,200 cities and 82 foreign countries. They were known as serious athletes, but their image was evolving towards an entertainment troupe and national icon. This reached a height during CBS’s 1970s production of a cartoon called “The Harlem Globetrotter Show” — later “The Harlem Globetrotter Popcorn Machine” show — and with Globetrotter “appearances” on Scooby-Doo. President Gerald Ford called them “America’s Ambassadors of Goodwill.” In the 80’s they were given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Smithsonian Institute’s National Museum of American Social History opened a permanent exhibit honoring them. In 1985, the Globetrotters signed the first woman to play official basketball with men, Olympic gold medalist Lynette Woodard. In 1996 two Globetrotters, Michael “Wild Thing” Wilson and Fred “Preacher” Smith set a Guinness World Record for dunking at 11 feet and 8 inches. Today there are at least three different Harlem Globetrotters teams touring the country. In September of 2002 the Harlem Globetrotters were inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. They continue to entertain across the country and, more recently, in an effort to gain back some of their serious ballplaying reputation, they have scheduled games against college teams and pick-up teams like Magic Johnson’s All Stars. “Sweet Georgia Brown” is still playing and so are the Harlem Globetrotters.

www.amarilloscene.com #7 Cheryl Cole There are many great things about female pop stars. More often than not, they’re extremely attractive, wear little, and dance for our attention. Cheryl does all of these things – and by God we’re glad. It’s not just that she’s happy posing for photographs in the near-nude, it’s her eyes, her nose, her face… and her apparent ability to forgive any man anything. Even cheating on the hottest girl in music, the idiot.

#6 Scarlett Johansson “Seriously, I really want to grab Scarlett’s breasts. She’s got beautiful ones.” There you have it: evidence that the 23-year-old now makes even her female co-stars – the famously straight-laced Natalie Portman, in this case – come over all peculiar.
#5 Hayden Panettiere “In an age of conflict… in a world of uncertainty… a hero will arise.” TV trailers tell us this, but they didn’t say she’d be a button-cute New Yorker who’d debut in FHM’s very pages. Since her first men’s mag shoot, she’s split her time shooting a further two series of Heroes and campaigning with PETA to stop people beating up whales and dolphins. Yup – she’s the ethically-inclined nerd’s dream woman.

#3 Keeley Hazell The 21 year old with the nation’s finest frontage has spent the last year modelling too-small lingerie, starring in a slightly odd online technology show and making it big in the US.
#1 Megan Fox There’s not a woman alive who looks better bent over a 1976 Chevrolet Camaro in a denim miniskirt. With a sultry glower, capricious pout and six tattoos, she’s the junior Angelina Jolie (but without the orphan addiction). And as if her role in Transformers wasn’t enough to secure a spot as the nerd’s woman of choice, she also confesses to being a fan of comic books and video games.
