Over the past 14 years, Zebra be came the premier band in the grow ing south Louisiana hard-rock scene, inspiring such devotion that some of their fans saw the band in concert thirty times or more. These fans anxiously awaited the day when the rest of the country would discover Zebra and catapault the band to national fame. For a while, it seemed like the fans would get their wish. From humble beginnings of run ning through covers of Led Zeppelin songs for a few dozen people in school gymnasiums. Zebra worked up to opening-band status for major hard-rock bands that would pass through New Orleans. In the late 1970s, they split their time between New Orleans and the more hard-rock oriented New York City. They gathered a loyal follow ing and attracted enough attention to be given a recording contract in July of 1982 with Atlantic Records, the label that Led Zeppelin, Zebra’s main musical influence, once re corded for. Less than a year later, Zebra’s self- titled debut album was released, and sold over 400,000 copies, an impres sive amount for a band’s first album. On July 17, 1983, they played a triumphant homecoming show for 40,000 New Orleanians in City Park Stadium at the Rock ’N’ Roll Super- bowl, an all-day concert that also fea tured performances by Bryan Ad ams, Foghat and Journey. At the beginning of their set in City Park, the members of Zebra were presented with the keys to the city in front of their adoring fans. It seemed as if there was no turn ing back — Zebra was on the road to national success, and would be the band that would regain New Or leans’ reputation as a major force in the music world, a reputation that had been lost since the glory days of Fats Domino, Roy Price and Clar ence “The Frogman” Henry in the 1950s. But then, something happened. Somehow, momentum was lost, and big-time success never came. It wasn’t that the band suddenly fell apart or didn’t sell records any more. They released their second Atlantic album, No Tellin’ Lies , in 1984, and a third, 3.V, in 1986. Throughout the mid-1980s, Zebra’s traditional New Year’s Eve concerts, and shows aboard the riverboat President, docked on the Mississippi River, would have to turn away part of the overflow crowd.

Reasons for this vary, but it has been suggested by several people who have followed the band over the years that lack of record company promotion for Ze bra’s records and questionable man agement decisions played a part. The band’s music and image themselves may have inadvertently hurt their chances for national fame. They do not fit the notion of what a typical hard-rock, heavy-metal band “should” look like, for they doni dress in the studded leather and col ored spandex or slap on the loads of make-up that many bands of that See Zebra/Page 7 ng sue way, it lave st; ire get nise of Whe Storyvi 20, the hese si Mew Oi If th hat th half hi irick a he Mi betweei open-ai AROUND TOWN Live Music Excalibre Club Live Music information is pro vided by the nightclubs.

The kind you’re being offered right now. It’s true. The dental ‘benefits’ recently added to one of the local health plans specifically excludes treatment for gum disease. Yet gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in America today — 8 of 10 Americans, in fact, suffer from some type of periodontal problem. So-called health plans that exclude such common — and important — conditions are no bargain. Regardless of their cost. Before you abandon yourtraditional health insurance package for a better-sounding bargain, be sure the small print reads as good as the bold promises.
