If you grew up in New Orleans in
the 1980s and professed to be a fan
of hard rock, chances are the mem
bers of Zebra were personal heroes
of yours.
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.

however, each sold less copies than
its predecessor. 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

What kind of dental plan
excludes the leading cause
of tooth loss in America today?
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.
