PHOTOS: Tryptophunk @ Tipitina’s 11/23/11
It didn’t take long for this makeshift musical beast called Tryptophunk to groove into a well-oiled machine, finding their stride well within the first 20 minutes of a 2.5 hour party at Tipitina’s Uptown to ring in Turkey Day. Highlights included the early and often Meters covers, including “No More... more

VIDEO: 2011 Bear Creek Music Festival Mashup
Randy over at Funk It! does some amazing videography work and this might be his best yet – a 16-minute video that manages to blow through 26 different performances from the 2011 Bear Creek Music Festival. Apparently Mr. Funk It managed to capture over 14 hours of footage from the... more
Jazz Fest Flashback: The String Cheese Incident @ Saenger Theatre 5/5/2000
In honor of The String Cheese Incident’s first full tour firing up next weekend in Asheville, we are featuring a classic show from the still-yet-to-be-reopened Saenger Theatre in 2000. This SCI/Bela Fleck twin bill was a Superfly Presents production pre-dating the locally born entertainment company’s big jumping off point in... more

PHOTOS / REVIEW: Dr. Dog & The Felice Brothers @ Tipitina’s 11/10/11
Tip’s was packed to the brim with indie music devotees on Thursday night – and deservedly so as Professor Longhair’s house was offered a stacked evening featuring the trifecta of Quiet Life, The Felice Brothers, and Dr. Dog. I’m happy to report that one of the most anticipated nights... more

A big announcement regarding the 2012 Hangout Music Festival appears to be coming on Friday 3 p.m. CST, as indicated by the ticking clock on the festival’s home page. It will be interesting to see how they follow up the 2011 festival, a resounding success by most accounts I’ve heard... more
JAZZ FEST 2012: Rumors, Guesses, Wishes & More
The Voodoo Experience is now in the rearview and the relentless fall concert schedule is starting to slow down (although one could easily keep themselves busy on the live circuit until NYE) and therefore it’s time to start speculating about the 2012 Jazz Fest lineup. Hard to say who will... more

The stars have aligned, the music gods smile upon us and a wealth of great Americana, folk, and classic-inspired groove rock is headed our way this Thursday when one of the greatest bands on Earth (Dr. Dog) and a fiery band of folksters (Felice Brothers) team up for a twin... more
Radiohead Announces 2012 Tour Dates, No NOLA Date As Of Yet
Hopefully, they’ll be filling this odd dates-only tour out into a more expansive U.S. trek soon, something that hasn’t happened since 2008 when the band capped a big stateside tour in Santa Barbara in support of In Rainbows. There are three Texas dates and no stop in New Orleans (or... more
VIDEOS: The New Mastersounds @ Tipitina’s 11/4/11
The New Mastersounds continue to grow their following here in New Orleans and last night’s show at Tipitina’s with Fox Street All-Stars marked the first non-Halloween/non-Jazz Fest trip to the Crescent City for the quartet, a chance to play for the ‘real people of New Orleans,’ as the band said... more
PHOTOS / SETLIST: STS9 @ House of Blues, NOLA 11/3/11
The current sound seems more intricate and focused on the music itself, evidenced from the get go on the hyper-sped “Evasive,” and the relatively-stripped down, but still perfectly en-tuned visual display (sans LED, which can oftentimes be distracting in my opinion). The canyon-esque lunar grooves like “Move My Peeps” are... more
PHOTOS: Deja Voodoo Is Verboten @ The Howlin’ Wolf & Republic New Orleans
Over this year’s Voodoo Experience weekend Verboten hosted the Deja Voodoo Is Verboten after parties from midnight to 6 a.m. at The Howlin’ Wolf and Republic New Orleans, inviting many of the DJ’s who had performed at the festival over the weekend to the warehouse district for some all night... more
PHOTOS / HIGHLIGHTS: Day Three @ Voodoo Experience 2011
My experience since being in New Orleans is that Sundays are an exceptionally treasured day in the city, and this perhaps never rings truer than during the all-too-common special weekends and particularly, during local music festivals. Sunday during this year’s Mardi Gras was a picture of perfection and one of... more
PHOTO / HIGHLIGHTS: Day Two @ Voodoo Experience 2011
However, Saturday was when the full realization hit that this fest really was about as grab bag as a musical gathering can be – headed up by the fact that the SoCal Punk Retrospective was going down (out of the three bands, X was the strongest, delivering an impressive evening... more
PHOTOS / HIGHLIGHTS: Day One @ Voodoo Experience 2011
How many more years will we be able to see a band as heavy, psychedelic and powerful as Soundgarden headline a major music festival? If the days of this kind of rock music still having enough popularity and relevance are waning, I’m glad I got a chance to see it... more
PHOTOS / VIDEOS: Peelander-Z @ Voodoo Experience 10/28/11
This one was every bit as zany as expected multiplied by 10. Human bowling, a crowd walking bass player, spandex and fish netting, baseball and some aggressive action comedy punk all transpired on Friday afternoon when the Bingo! Parlour Stage was transformed into a scene from the distant planet of... more
REVIEW / PHOTOS / VIDEOS: The Original Meters @ Voodoo Experience 2011
The Meters’ show yesterday was perhaps the most highly-anticipated festival set of the year in New Orleans (up there with the Rads’ final Jazz Fest blow out) and the holy funk quartet did not disappoint, far exceeding expectations with an hour long funk session alongside a horde of special guests... more
