O CONOR OBERST

Politically Charged New Album By Kyle Eustice

Mention the name Conor Oberst and thousands of teenage girls (and probably boys) will undoubtedly heave a collective sigh of admiration. The Omaha indie rock musician has been making people weep since the early ‘90s when he emerged as just a shy, teenage kid with a guitar and clever, evocative lyrics. However, there’s a rawer side behind Oberst’s big brown eyes and brutally honest, emotional songs. After all, he came up during the Cog Factory days, which was a gritty, downtown Omaha venue famous for its wild shows featuring future members of The Faint, Cursive and other notable Omaha bands. It seems Oberst has found another emotional (and much louder) outlet with the Desaparecidos (sometimes referred to as Desa), his more punk-inspired rock band. Along with guitarist Denver Dalley, cousin/keyboardist Ian McElroy, bassist Landon Hedges and drummer Matt Baum, Oberst has opened up a whole new chapter in his musical story. Payola, the group’s second album since 2002’s Read Music/Speak Spanish, was just released by Epitaph, a huge milestone for the seasoned musicians. The elephant in the room is the 10 years that flew by in between records, but there’s an easy explanation for that. They were busy. “It all came down to timing,” Dalley says. “We didn’t think the timing was right before, but it was right now. Every band likes to be defiant and do things on their own terms. I feel like Desaparecidos is an extreme case and will do what we want, whenever we want [laughs]. Before, it felt kind of forced and didn’t really feel as genuine. Time went by and then we played a reunion show and had this great chemistry. It felt fun again, which I think is what ultimately made it happen now. Our schedules aligned and we are all just having such a good time with it. That is always the most important thing.” With Oberst on tour in support of his 2014 solo record, Upside Down Mountain, Hedges focused on his band Little Brazil and the rest of Desa consumed with their other projects, it wasn’t exactly simple to make it work. “There’s times when it’s a little hectic,” he explains.” In the other projects, each member is in charge, not always, but like Conor with Bright Eyes and Landon with Little Brazil; we can kind of put those on the back burner because we already know how hard it is to align these five schedules. We were able to put all the other projects on hold and work around this. It was hard to get the stars to align.” In a way, the stars have been aligning since the five members were just young kids. Dalley met Oberst in 4th grade and then met Hedges in 7th grade. They’ve lived within a couple of miles each other nearly their entire lives. “Conor and I had a lot of common friends,” he says. “We met at the Emmy Gifford Children’s Theatre [Omaha]. Years later, Matt, Ian and I started the band then Conor joined, then Ian.” As they traveled along their individual paths, Oberst, of course, catapulted to notoriety. In fact, Rolling Stone once called him “the Bob Dylan of our generation.” To this day, Oberst’s “celebrity” status is blatantly obvious, especially to the other members of Desa. “There have been certain things that have been extreme,” Dalley recalls. “It’s an NOWOMAHA.COM • SEPTEMBER 2015

interesting thing because a lot of people feel very close to Conor because his lyrics have gotten them through hard times. In their minds, they think there’s this intimacy, but in reality, they’re complete strangers. The most recent thing that comes to mind is we went to this bar next door after playing a show in Los Angeles. Someone was harassing him and he wouldn’t take no for an answer in regard to a picture. At one point, they jumped across the table so their friend could take a picture. “Don’t get me wrong,” he continues. “He always stops and takes pictures. It’s not like a bother, but this person was just so aggressive. They kept coming back. It was getting really strange to the point where Ian had to say to give him some space. Conor is a kind and patient person unless someone really crosses the line. That’s just who he is. He appreciates his position in life, too.” At the same time, Dalley remembers playing in Washington D.C. and Ian MacKaye [Fugazi, Minor Threat] came out to see the show. “We were so nervous, even Conor,” he says. “We didn’t know what to say so we kept introducing him to everyone. We did that like five times. But at the end of the day, yeah, everyone is just a person.” However, it doesn’t hurt to have people like Bad Religion’s Brett Gurewitz backing you. His label, Epitaph Records, has been home to many incredible artists, including ALL, Agnostic Front, Descendents, Dwarves, Sage Francis, The Cramps, and Thelonious Monk. It wasn’t a place they thought they would end up. “It’s funny,” he says. “We joked about that like, ‘Maybe somebody like Epitaph would be interested’ and it came true. We’re all very excited because we’ve always looked up to the label. Everyone has been awesome and nice.” “I was excited to see what they had to say in our meeting,” Hedges adds. “I was even more excited when we left the meeting. They are very cool people.” Payola is the result of many years of writing. It wouldn’t have happened without the aforementioned reunion show. In 2010, Desa played at the Concert for Equality in Omaha [an event organized by Oberst to promote the repeal of then-recently enacted measures to prohibit businesses and landlords from hiring or renting to undocumented immigrants in Fremont, Nebraska]. The band embarked on a short summer tour in 2012 and self-released several tracks. Six tracks featured on Payola were written during that time, including “MariKKKopa,” “Backsell,” “Anonymous,” “The Left is Right,” “Te Amo Camila Vallejo,” and “The Underground Man.” Sonically, Payola is like a 39-minute punch in the face. “There’s no break,” Dalley says. “There’s no ballad type song. On the first album, it was quieter at first, but this one is unrelenting. From a writing perspective, it’s always been a collaborative process, but I feel like it was even more so this time around. Recording wise, we picked at it when we could. We spread it out over a few years when we had time to record and had the material, really. It happened pretty organically.” For Bright Eyes fans, this album may come as a shock. It’s a completely different side of Oberst not everyone has been exposed to before, but it’s always been bubbling underneath the surface “He’s always had this side to him,” Dalley says. “Going back to the Cog Factory, there were bands like Commander Venus [which eventually became The Faint]. I think it’s cool to see a different side to him because it’s always been there. We all grew up idolizing Slowdown Virginia and later Cursive so I think that’s in all of us. I always hear people say overwhelmingly, at least to me anyway, that they prefer Desa over Bright Eyes just because it’s another side of him.” Throughout the new album, there are a lot of different messages, mostly of a political nature. If you’re looking for lyrics to help you through a recent heartache, this album isn’t it. They have much more important issues on the table these days. “All the lyrics aren’t about your boyfriend, your girlfriend or the break up,” Dalley says. “They’re about actual social issues that are going on around them and hopefully the songs will inspire them to look them up. We want you to learn more about something and not let these bubble gum lyrics go in one ear and out the other. There’s a time and a place for those songs, too, but I think there’s been a lack of songs that are more socially aware that get can stuck in your head, but make you want to look more into the lyrics.” 8

They are going on an extensive tour in support of Payola and will likely gain countless new supporters along the way. “I think we’re just going to take it one day at a time,” Dalley says. “We’ve had discussions in the band like ‘Do you want to see your CD on the counter at Starbucks?’ Not that that’s on the horizon, but we are just throwing things out there. Especially with this band, given the content, the most important thing is to get the message out there. The idea that one song you do could inspire someone to look something up and get involved in an issue or start a protest, or whatever, is huge. As long as we’re spreading the word about what we are passionate about and believe in, and having fun, that’s really all that I could hope for.” Some people might not like Bright Eyes, but will love Desa. Some people might love Bright Eyes and not like Desa. Either way, the guys are just happy to be able to do this for a living and really aren’t concerned with a popularity contest. “The idea of being able to play music for a living, to me, it’s unreal,” Dalley says. “It gets crazy if you find yourself on late night television, but part of me always thought I end up painting houses for a living. We’re doing it for a living, but I wouldn’t say we are a rich band. We can pay our bills for the most part [laughs].” Desaparecidos with Radkey and Joyce Manor, September 10, at The Waiting Room, 6212 Maple St., 9 p.m. Tickets are $20.

FEATURE STORY

YOUTH GONE WILD Skid Row Headlines Septemberfest By Now! Omaha Staff “Hair metal” exploded into mainstream popularity in the ‘80s. It’s forever associated with big hair, neon colors, tight spandex and, of course, loud music. At the forefront of the movement was Skid Row, a New Jersey quintet formed in 1986. Originally composed of bassist Rachel Bolan, guitarist Dave “The Snake” Sabo, guitarist Scotti Hill, drummer Rob Affuso, and vocalist Sebastian Bach, Bach left the group (or was allegedly fired) in 1996 under unfortunate circumstances. Bach joined Skid Row in 1988 as the replacement for the band’s original lead singer Matt Fallon, who sang on demo versions of songs that were eventually re-recorded for Skid Row’s multi-platinum 1989 eponymous debut LP. Sadly, it seems the Bach vs. Skid Row beef will never die. In a 2010 interview, Bolan spoke about the split with Sebastian, “There was so much tension and so much infighting that it was hard to write songs. Snake and I formed the band, we wrote the songs, and then other people played and sang it. People wanted to break away from what had been working, and that impeded the songwriting.” Bach has criticized his former bandmates for claiming to have written all the songs on the group’s early records without him, saying that all fans have to do is listen to the Skid Row’s albums the band made after he was fired from the group to “know about who wrote what.” Despite the turbulence, Skid Row is still as active as ever. In fact, in August 2014, the current incarnation of the band released the second chapter of the United World Rebellion trilogy called “Rise of the Damnation Army: United World Rebellion-Chapter Two.” On April 6, 2015, singer Johnny Solinger was allegedly fired him, but later that day, it was announced that Tony Harnell, formerly of the Norwegian power metal band TNT, had replaced Solinger. Bolan is just focused on staying solid. “You keep your chops up the more you play,” Bolan explained in an interview with HardRock Haven. “We have played so much the last two years; it is kind of like a machine. We did a 100 shows last year. We are doing around

100 this year as well. We are playing some of the biggest festivals that we ever played. We plan on doing the same next year. It does keep you tight. It is always good for a band to stay out on the road.” Bach was fired when he booked a show where Skid Row would have opened for Kiss in 1996. Other band members told Bach that Skid Row was too big to be an opening act and that they were not going to do the show. The rift between Bach and the other band members subsequently led to him leaving Skid Row. Ironically, Skid Row ended up opening for Kiss in 2000. “That was like the tour of all tours,” Bolan said. “We grew up all such big Kiss fans. They were the first band that most of us saw live. To go out there and be able to watch them every single night was amazing. What was supposed to be three months turned out to be nine months out on the road with them. It was a pretty great thing. We did 90 shows with them and I probably saw 85 of them. I am a big Kiss fan. And being a big Kiss fan and seeing them every night, I was in heaven on that.” As Skid Row gets ready for its upcoming performance at Septemberfest Sunday, September 6, there’s no doubt the group is also looking forward to the future. The longevity they’ve attained in such a fickle industry is nothing short of remarkable. On February 5, 2015, two months before Solinger’s departure, Skid Row announced on their Facebook page the third chapter of the United World Rebellion series will surface soon. “Somebody presented it to us about putting out three EPs,” Bolan explained. “We really liked the idea because it keeps you out on the road. It keeps the music fresh. From an economical standpoint it is easier for Skid Row fans to throw down six dollars for an EP than to throw down 20 dollars for an album. For a songwriters stand point, you write ten and pick five. We like doing this way. It keeps everything fresh. It keeps it constant.” Skid Row at Septemberfest, September 6, CenturyLink Center Omaha, 455 S. 10th St., 10 p.m. Tickets are $5. Visit www.septemberfestomaha.org for more information.

BEACH HOUSE IS BACK

Victoria LeGrand Talks Being Smart By Kyle Eustice Baltimore duo Beach House has made a name for themselves with haunting melodies and evocative lyrics. Behind the dreamy pop music is a fierce woman. French-born singer Victoria LeGrand has a no holds barred attitude when it comes to her career. Since exploding onto the scene with 2010’s Teen Dream (Sub Pop Records) and touring all over the world, LeGrand is a pro at deflecting any negativity thrown her way. “I have only met a handful of people in my travels who have told me to go fuck

12 S E P T E M B E R 2 0 1 5 • N O W O M A H A . C O M

myself,” LeGrand says. “There was this asshole monitor guy in San Diego and he told me to go fuck myself. I wanted to punch him in the face, but I didn’t because I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of knowing that he’d been an asshole to me. I was just thinking to myself, ‘Well, I feel bad for you dude because you’re a miserable guy who hates his job, hates his life and maybe hates women.’ I just walked away. I think it’s better to not involve yourself in those types of situations.” Fortunately, those scenarios aren’t too common. Along with the other half of Beach House, multi-instrumentalist Alex Scally, LeGrand began churning out records in 2004, although the duo did not gain much national attention initially. After the monumental success of Teen Dream, they quickly got to touring and writing their next record. Titled Bloom, the 10-track album was a continuation of the group’s mellow, emotional catalog, but with a few subtle tweaks. The songwriting was more concise and the lyrics were more literal. Although the final product was mixed at the legendary Electric Lady Studios in New York City, it was actually recorded in the tiny border town of Tornillo, Texas, an experience LeGrand will never forget. “That was a moment in my life that means a lot to me and I’ll always remember it,” she says. “It was a very personal experience and an intense one. I don’t think the place had an effect on the music necessarily because we write everything before we go record so that stuff is already set in stone. We’re not down there in the cactus pasture, or whatever, letting the sunbeams interrupt. We’re not doing that. We’re more serious than that. We’re control freaks. But the actual experience of living there didn’t have much to do with the music.” Bloom was another critically acclaimed success. It received mostly positive reviews across the board, although that’s something neither Scally or LeGrand pay much attention to. Beach House’s most recent album, Depression Cherry, dropped August 28, again on Sub-Pop Records. While it retains a certain amount of familiarity to their previous work, LeGrand and Scally manage to give it some freshness; the live drums are gone and the songs are tighter. The listener is less likely to get lost in the seemingly never-ending dreaminess of earlier records. “Everybody hears something different so I try not to think too much about good or bad reviews,” Scally says. “Honestly, a lot of the good reviews I didn’t think they were good reviews

[laughs]. Just because they are positive doesn’t make it a good review, in my opinion. I think music listening in general is at an all time low. People, especially music reviewers, they have so much to listen to. I don’t think you get an album in less than five listens. And I’m an audio file. I hear everything the first time, but I still don’t get it until I’ve heard it 5 or 10 times. I don’t think people give that kind of attention to music anymore, but that’s what it deserves. Like you would never go to a museum and walk by a painting in 4 seconds. I see people doing that all the time, but that’s not what a work deserves. You wouldn’t watch a film and be on your phone the whole time.” Repeatedly listening to Bloom, Depression Cherry or Teen Dream always takes the listener on a journey. LeGrand’s sultry voice grabs hold and won’t let go. She is not only a talented singer, but an extraordinary example of a strong woman. She has a few words for the younger generations who may be thinking about getting into a creative profession. “You don’t have to be miserable to make art or music,” she says. “You’re going to get depressed, have no energy if you’re on heroin and won’t do anything with your life. You should probably not do that because it’s a waste of time and you will end up dying. Not a good choice. I don’t think there are many rock stars left and I think it’s something that’s slowly dying. Maybe it’s not relevant anymore or can’t happen because there used to be a time when there was mystique around people and now it’s incredibly hard to have that because people are always trying to find out about your life and take pictures of you. The internet has made everything very public,” she continues. “For example, if Marc Bolen [of T. Rex] was still with us, maybe we’d be seeing pictures of him at Starbucks and you wouldn’t be like, ‘Oh man, Marc Bolen is so awesome.’ You can’t really have legends like the way you used to be because there’s going to be some images of you in sweatpants drinking a Corona. I really don’t think partying and doing drugs makes you a rock star. You actually have to be amazing. There’s a lot more to it than ‘sex, drugs and rock-n-roll.’ It was not what is has become so be smart. Don’t do heroin [laughs].”

FAITH IN THE FUTURE

Blackalicious Returns with Imani, Vol. I By Kyle Eustice The day before his show in Vermont, emcee Gift of Gab of Blackalicious found himself in a precarious situation. The 43-year-old Oakland native has suffered serious health issues in recent years, diabetes being one of them. As he was relaxing in his hotel room, he suddenly found himself on the floor, unable to move. He yelled for his producer/DJ Chief Xcel, who called an ambulance. Rushed to the hospital, Gab’s blood sugar had plunged to a dangerously low number of 20 (normal blood sugar should be between 80-140). Thankfully, he recovered quickly and was able to continue the tour in support of Blackalicious’ upcoming album, Imani Vol. I, the group’s first album in 13 years (due out September 18). “I’m feeling really good about it,” Parker says. “It’s been getting a lot of good responses. The singles that we dropped and the songs we’ve let people hear have been getting lots of positive feedback. We have a couple of videos that we’re in the middle of making and we have our social media is going strong. It’s the first of three volumes. We are majorly back.” Gift of Gab, real name Timothy Parker, is never kept down for long. Despite his health challenges, he remains one of the best emcees hip-hop has ever known. Blackalicious put out their first album, Nia, in 1999 and followed-up with Blazing Arrow in 2002, the latter being both critically acclaimed and a commercial hit (#49 on the Billboard 200). The duo’s third album, The Craft, was released in 2005 and then they took a break, a long break. With Parker focusing on his solo career and Xcel doing his own thing, it was unsure whether or not they would ever release another album. To Parker’s surprise, people had been waiting for the day to arrive. “After what they call our hiatus, I did solo records and X produced for other people from about 2007 to now,” he explains. “We started doing shows again as

a group at the top of 2012 and I kind of thought it was going to be like starting over, but fans came up to me telling me they grew up on our music. I realized there’s a nostalgia factor with us now. I would have thought it was like starting over. It’s been really good.” The album seeped in nostalgia most people probably note is Blazing Arrow. In fact, “First in Flight,” “Paragraph President” and “Make You Feel That Way” are still played at every show. “The thing about Blazing Arrow is we were on a major label, MCA,” he says. “We had the major label machine behind us. That was a great experience. The places we got to go, the people we got to meet and the fact we got a video on MTV and BET was incredible. I had family members calling me saying they saw the video. It expanded our fanbase because after that we put out The Craft and we had this whole new, big fanbase even though we were independent again. It had grown so big.” Parker’s humility is refreshing in an industry normally supersaturated with super-sized egos. It’s almost as if he doesn’t realize the impact he’s had on people and how much he is respected. When the word “legend” is thrown at him, he sounds coy. “I’ve heard that mentioned before but I’m just a guy who likes to rap,” he says. “You can never look at yourself that way. You can’t walk around thinking you’re this or that. I’m just a person living life and I’m an observer. The things I observe and experience are the things I tend to write about it. The fans are great. It’s always good to be in a place far away you don’t know and have people come up to you to just show you love. That’s the best. It’s good to know people appreciate what you do. It’s a way of life now. I’m used to it and I enjoy it.”

OMAHA BRINGS BIG NAMES By Katelyn Sonderman

This month is a great month to cross some illustrious names off your bucket list. Both Stir Cove and CenturyLink Center Omaha have some amazing entertainment. The legendary “Tiny Dancer” and “Rocket Man” singer Elton John is coming to the CenturyLink Center this fall, making a stop on his “The Final Curtain” tour. This isn’t a final tour, but it is the last time that he plans on making stops in smaller cities like Omaha and Sioux Falls. At 68, he has said that he wants to slow down, spend time with his family. His children are of school age, and he wants to be there for their activities. He said he can’t see himself ever retiring, but he is trying to ease back on

his touring schedule. He will be in Omaha on Oct. 3. But Elton John isn’t the only classic rocker to be making a stop in the Midlands. Billy Idol will be at Stir Cove in Council Bluff’s, Iowa, on Sept. 11. His hits like “Dancing with Myself ” and “White Wedding” are still popular among fans of music from the 1980s. The punk rocker, who claims British pop bands The Beatles and The Rolling Stones as influences, has had a long music career, starting with his band Generation X. Though Idol may not be a spring chicken anymore, fans can still expect a high energy show, and as we approach fall, the Stir Cove series begins winding down. Tickets for both show are available at Ticketmaster, with both shows expected to sell out. So snag a pair for you and someone special, and enjoy two artists who have influenced the path of today’s artists.

HIT THAT DIVE

BEST PATIOS FOR DRINKING IN OMAHA -- 101.9 THE KEG EXCLUSIVE By Steve Gates SWhen the phone rings and it says “Crash Davis”...that’s a call I always take no matter what what I’m doing. Why? Well, for one Crash is a good friend. And two, it usually means he has a new idea of something fun I can get into. So, what was this call about? Simple. Coming up with my “Top 10 Patios to Have a Drink on in Omaha” of course. So, knowing I was going to be on the air with 101.9 The Keg first thing in the morning, I went right to work. For those HitThatDive purists, these are NOT all dive bars...take a deep breath. It will all be OK. The majority of them are dives, but I thought for this particular Crash Davis assignment, a more compete list was the better approach. So, after much deliberation, here is the “Scuba Steve” Top 10 Patios to Have a Drink on in Omaha...your list may vary. The Nest Lounge:

Crown is directly across the street from the Omaha Children’s Museum and boasts one of the best deck scenes in town. Is it a dive? You bet. Is it made for some patio drinking? You be your life it is! Mr. Toad’s Pub:

Smack dab in the heart of Omaha’s Old Market, Toad’s was a stop on last year’s HitThatDive Haunted Hangover Tour. And, from what most will tell you, is the prime spot in the Old Market to suck back a few drinks and just sit and people watch. Is it a dive? You make the call. Heron Bay:

What better place to knock back a few drinks and keep an eye on the kids as they’re at the daycare directly next door? Oh yeah, and by the way, it’s one of the best spots in West Omaha to sit outside and enjoy the summer air. Rose and Crown Pub:

Keeping with our places to sit outside and have a drink (or two) while keeping an eye on the kids, the Rose and

No doubt this IS a dive, and a bit oddly situated, and basically next to a Sanford and Son junkyard. However, it has one of the best decks in Eastern Nebraska to sit and have an amazing view of the Platte River. For my money, the closest you can get to drinking at an ocean bar anywhere in Omaha. (Prices are a bit steep, be warned Amigos.) This is always a prime stop for anyone that rides a motorcycle. 1912: Have not been to this one in Benson yet, BUT, when a Benson spot comes highly endorsed by MarQ Manner.... that’s all I need to know. Many people wrote in and said this

34 S E P T E M B E R 2 0 1 5 • N O W O M A H A . C O M

is THE spot for an outdoor patio in the Benson area...and it sure looks that way. This is the only place on my list that made it sight unseen. MarQ’s word is gold in my book...give this one a look when you’re in that part of town, and then let me know how it is. Poop Deck:

golf course beers) and head to the corner of 42nd and L Streets. Grab your drink, head out the back door, and get ready to practice putting on Omaha’s only outdoor putting green attached to a great dive bar. Is it the world’s best patio? Hell no! But you’re at a bar practicing your putting...on a real putting green...where else can you do that? This is Golden Tee for real people! Salt 88:

Is this the most elaborate deck in Omaha? Hell no. But it’s the Poop Deck which means it’s automatically HitThatDive certified, and, it’s the only spot on this list where you can sit outside and watch the sun raise with a drink or two when they open the doors and 6:00am. Early morning bartender Chuck, is one of the best in town! I love the Poop Deck so much that’s me in the picture below after getting there at 8:00 am to hang out with the Bergan Mercy nurses after an overnight shift.

Yes, I know, this most definitely is not a dive bar. But who cares? John and his gang have the BEST patio in the Omaha city limits, incredible food, an extensive wine list and PBR Tall Boys! This is the only place in town where both Mrs. HitThatDive and I can go together and both be happy the entire time we’re here. We bring the kids, come here for date nights, hell we just find reasons to come here...as should you too. Don’t let the fancy appearance scare you off...this place is great for anyone no matter what your taste might be. The Doghouse Saloon:

Crossbones Bar:

The covered back patio at Crossbones is one of the best year-round spots in town. Oh sure, I froze my ass off back there on St. Patrick’s Day, but it’s fully covered by a roof, and always has the South Omaha equivalent of the trade winds blowing to keep you cool in the summer regardless of the temperature. Throw in one of Omaha’s best Bloody Marys on a Sunday morning, and this might be the best hangover spot on the list. Beer City: Hey, weekend warrior golfers, I’ve got a spot for you. Save the fortune that you’re going to pay on greens fees (and

When Crash asked me to put this list together, the Doghouse in Waterloo, Nebraska was the first place that popped into my mind. Small town honky-tonk bar. An amazing outdoor set up with a stage, plenty tables, TVs and the best part of all...honest-to-goodness truck tailgates that you can sit on and enjoy the day. Want the fun of tailgating, but don’t want to do all the work? The Doghouse is just what you’re looking. When you think of an outdoor bar to hunker down and spend a lazy summer afternoon...this is the spot I head to first. Did I also mention it’s hangout for fans of my hometown Pittsburgh Steelers? Here we go Steelers...here we go! There you have it, that’s my list. What did I miss? Let us know if there’s something you think needs to be added as one of the Omaha area’s best bar patios. Have a complaint about this? Call Crash at 101.9 The Keg...this was his idea! (Just kidding) Now get out there and enjoy your summer!

OKTOBERFEST By Katelyn Sonderman

Nebraska has a huge German heritage, and Omaha is no exception. According to the historical society, German immigrants started coming in 1854, and by 1910, almost 60% of the Omaha population was of German descent. With the recent trends in immigration, German heritage no longer is the primary nationality, but the traditions established at the turn of the 20th century remain. When the immigrants came over, they brought the traditions of their ancestors, and for Germans, they brought the tradition of brewing. Germans built and operated several successful breweries in the city, bringing good beer and beer-making skills to the upper Midwest. This tradition can be found year round in Omaha, which boasts breweries in every part of town, but during the fall, the brewing traditions are taken to another level with the Oktoberfest Celebrations that occur throughout the city. Starting with the German-American Society on Sept 18th and 19th, it’s a family friendly two day celebration

of all things German. For $5, you and the kiddos can walk around, enjoying samplings of traditional German food, and other family friendly activities. There are also samplings of German styled brewed beers, along with traditional German folk dancers. The following weekend, September 24th and 25, the Celebration of German heritage makes its way to Midtown, to the Crescent Moon and Huber-Haus. It’s free to get into this event and there’s a huge outdoor space, with polka bands playing both Friday and Saturday. They Huber-Haus prides themselves on the wide variety of German beers, such as Hofbräu, Spaten, Warsteiner, Paulaner, Hacker-Pschorr, and Weihenstephaner. In addition to another weekend of amazing German food, including: brats, chicken, schnitzel, pretzels, desserts and more, there is also a ceremonial keg tapping both days. Festival goers can also choose from a large selection of beer steins. Omaha offers the community plenty of opportunities to stay in touch with their ancestor’s heritage, so stay tuned to Now! year-round to find out what cultural events are happening near you!
