CONCERT RECAP: Foals, Surfer Blood & Blondfire @ House of Blues NOLA 4/28/13
That funny band expression, “they’re big in Europe” was the precursor to the Foals show Sunday night at the House of Blues New Orleans. While the show wasn’t sold out, it was packed and pleasantly comfortable. Supporting act Blondfire was a victim of rain, Jazz Fest, and the... more

CONCERT RECAP: Big Gigantic w/ Crizzly @ House of Blues NOLA 11/16/12
Big Gigantic. What’s in a name? What does a name mean? It didn’t take long for Dominic Lalli (Saxophone/Producer) and Jeremy Salken (Drums) to provide an explanation as the House of Blues turned into an LED infused wonderland. The Boulder based duo asked the crowd to do it big... more

All throughout the night the band was on a mission to entertain, and they certainly did.

REVIEW / PHOTOS / VIDEO: Sleigh Bells @ House of Blues, NOLA 10/15/12
Without a second breath, they lit up the House of Blues with ‘Demons‘, an explosive anthem of power chords, electronic hand claps and absolutely painted the faces of the crowd in high intensity strobes. The Sleigh Bells experience is total auditory and visual overload, and it’s as intense as it... more

RECAP / PHOTOS: Aaron Neville @ House of Blues – 6/27/12
It was a fine, fine, super-fine Wednesday night in the New Orleans French Quarter this week, with the sun beneath it’s godly fence and the city crawlers out on their partying prowl. But what made it so nice wasn’t the moon nor the typical Bourbon street visitors, what brought... more
WATCH: COYOTES Live @ House of Blues NOLA – 6/2/12
When I hear the word “COYOTES”, Coach Bud Kilmer’s West Kanaan Chi-Yotes pronunciation from the ’99 classic Varsity Blues is the inescapable way it sounds in my brain. Therefore, I’ll forever hear this band’s name skewed-a-little-sideways with a slight Texas twang accompanied by nostalgia of Billy Bob, his pig Bacon,... more
