CONCERT RECAP: Moon Taxi @ Tipitina’s Uptown, New Orleans, LA 5/16/13
Let me be the first to say, I am by no means a jam band connoisseur or even a casual fan at best. Bands like Umphrey's McGee, Widespread Panic, Phish, or even the Grateful Dead aren’t remotely part of my personal musical lexicon. To give you the extent... 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: 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

Yet on Saturday night at Tipitina’s, there was nothing but joy, gratitude... more
CONCERT RECAP: Galactic Mardi Gras 2012 Run at Tipitina’s Uptown
The Lundi Gras show, in keeping with tradition, didn’t get under way until 1:30 a.m. as the drum-heavy samba funk of “Magalenha” introduced a new facet of Galactic right out the gate.

PHOTOS / REVIEW: Gold and the Rush & Big History @ Tipitina’s 1/26/12
The combined age of the two last bands featured at WTUL’s Back To School Bash at Tipitina’s would make them barely old enough to walk and somewhere deep into the Terrible Two’s. Having not heard of Gold and the Rush until yesterday afternoon, I was completely in the dark as... more
