THE BRICKYARD
Years: 1983 - 1985
The Brickyard was a venue in Lincoln near the Devaney Center by 16th & Holdredge St that hosted many local and touring punk bands, such as Power Of The Spoken Word, Speedwobble, Baby Hotline, Peer Puppet, NOFX, Social Distortion, and others. It wasn't a regular venue, it was a space available for parties that was rented on a show by show basis, usually by Al Wilson or Bill Jones of Baby Hotline, or members of Power Of The Spoken Word.

From Bernie McGinn: The first show there was July 7, 1983 with JFA, Baby Hot-Line, Antibellum (?) corrupted service) It was my 13th birthday, and they put Bernie's Big Birthday Bash on the flyer. I was stoked! At the last show there, sometime fall 1985 (i think), Peer Puppet was supposed to play, but the cops came and shut the show down and arrested people (including me) for Failure to Disburse.
