It’s Jazz Fest Time In New Orleans
The cubes are out, the late night grids are full and the time has come: It's Jazz Fest season in New Orleans! For those who can't make the trip, AXS TV (Ch. 340 on DirecTV) will broadcast the festival on television for the very first time from April 26th... more
CONCERT RECAP: Allah-Las @ Circle Bar, New Orleans 4/2/13
Los Angeles band The Allah-Las brought a bit of the California surf sound to Circle Bar last Tuesday on a rain-drenched New Orleans night. Hitting the stage just after 11:00, the four deeply tanned dudes easily transported the capacity crowd to sonically sunny places with bright, jangly guitars, four part... 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
CONCERT RECAP: Dr. Dog @ Tipitina’s, New Orleans 11/15/12
Dr. Dog is one of the best live bands touring today. I can say this with full confidence after witnessing two top notch shows this past week – Saturday on the beach in Gulfport at The Sun and Sand Music Festival and Tuesday at Tipitina’s. Their set at... more
CONCERT RECAP: White Denim plus Maps and Atlases @ One Eyed Jacks – 11/7/12
With everyone in quite a ecstatic mood after witnessing some pure melodic bliss, it was time – once and for all – to experience the jammy yet calculated glory that is White Denim. This Austin-based quartet really has it all, they have the way and the truth. When White Denim... more
CONCERT RECAP: Generationals @ Tipitina’s Uptown, NOLA 11/3/12
New Orleans duo Generationals treated their hometown to a tight, energetic set of their irresistible brand of indie pop at Tipitina’s last Saturday as they wound down a national tour that seems to have given them some well deserved attention. The exuberant (if minimal) crowd danced and howled appropriately... more
PREVIEW: White Denim @ One Eyed Jacks, NOLA 11/7/12
Ladies and gents, this is something that we here at the LMB Nola think-tank have been anticipating ever since we heard the glorious announcement that White Denim would be gracing the New Orleans rock-faithful with their presence at One Eyed Jacks. This Austin-based (now) four piece is truly something to... more
PREVIEW: 4 Must See Acts @ Bear Creek Festival 2012
Ladies and gentlemen, the time is finally approaching for our pilgrimage to the fun and loving depths of Live Oak, Florida for one of the year’s most anticipated music festivals. That’s right, Bear Creek Music Festival is upon us, and we’ve got a little bit of insight to offer you... more
CONCERT RECAP: Afghan Whigs plus Wussy @ Tipitina’s Uptown, NOLA 10/19/12
It’s hard to believe The Afghan Whigs haven’t been back to New Orleans since the two-night benefit shows for Steve Myers in 1999 at the Shim Sham. I’ve heard many an awesome story from those shows, so I knew I’d be in for a treat. 1993’s Gentleman was the soundtrack... more
CONCERT RECAP: Band of Horses plus Happy Talk Band @ House of Blues – 10/21/12
All throughout the night the band was on a mission to entertain, and they certainly did. Every song seamlessly transitioned into the next, only stopping for the occasional instrument change and song introduction. They were ever so vigilant of the fact that they had recently played Tipitina’s and tried to... more
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
CONCERT RECAP / SETLIST: Menomena @ One Eyed Jack’s 10/5/12
When Menomena took the stage around midnight at One Eyed Jack’s on 10/5, bassist Justin Harris grinned at the crowd and laughed, “You guys are pretty drunk, huh?” Suffice it to say that the inebriated crowd was adequately “warmed up” after a lackluster set from opener PVT and plenty... more
CONCERT RECAP: Dinosaur Jr. plus Shearwater @ Tipitina’s Uptown, NOLA 10/3/12
J and band are whole lot older and wiser than their younger day. Their music has stood the test of time and their new material has found a place in this new world of rock. Loud, powerful, and controlled chaos was the thoughts of the night and Dinosaur Jr. did... more
REVIEW / PHOTOS / VIDEO: Antibalas @ Tipitina’s 10/9/12
The animated horn-section ruthlessly twists the floor into a frenzy of flailing arms and swaying hips, while the hypnotizing keyboard work keeps the cadenced groove from breaking it’s trance. Easy comparisons to the afro-beat deity Fela Kuti and his groups are first to come to mind, but it’s the music’s... more
CONCERT RECAP: Pretty Lights Illumination Tour @ Mardi Gras World, NOLA 10/6/12
As the first smooth synth line was thrown at the crowd, the open night sky was transformed in to an orgy of lasers, LEDs, strobes, and a stage that was in the shape of a downtown skyline, garnished with bridge and all. And the bass, yeah it was definitely there... more
@LMBNOLA: PHOTO GALLERY: Victor Wooten @ The Howlin’ Wolf 10/3/12
This past Wednesday, we were lucky enough to have the brilliant photographer, and our contributing friend, Marc Pagani, head over to Howlin’ Wolf to catch all the Victor Wooten action. Come and dig into the fruitful photo gallery of that fine evening!
CONCERT RECAP: Animal Collective plus Micachu and The Shapes @ House of Blues, NOLA 9/29/12
Saturday night at the House of Blues was one of the most kinetically blissful shows I have been to, all made possible by that flammable chemistry between fans and band.
