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
SoCal Punk Rock Retrospective Set for Saturday at Voodoo
When I was five years old, my parents walked in on me listening to “Achy Breaky Heart.” By the time I started singing along, they simply had enough. A stern talk ensued, and I quickly learned that I was the son of punk rock parents. They still ridicule me to this... more
PHOTOS: MUTEMATH @ One Eyed Jacks 10/21/11
MUTEMATH returned last Friday night for a packed-out, high energy hometown show at One Eyed Jacks. Our Julia Pretus was there to capture some of the magic on the local post-rock band’s big night back in the Big Easy, touring in support of their 3rd LP Odd Soul.
Must See Sets @ Voodoo Experience 2011
The Original Meters – 6:15 p.m. – Le Flambeau WWOZ Stage The announcement that the Meters would be re-forming for an extra special set at Bonnaroo alongside Dr. John (where they performed his classic album Desitively Bonnaroo) got me hoping that the quintessential funk quartet would have enough fun to get... more
REVIEW / PHOTOS / VIDEO: 7 Walkers @ Tipitina’s 10/18/11
From the moment I entered Tipitina’s, it was plain to see 7 Walkers came to steal some face – and take the opportunity to get the well-worn tie-dyes out from the dresser drawers. The balcony and backdrop were draped in multi-colored tapestries, an oil paint artist was waiting for... more

PHOTOS / VIDEOS / REVIEW: WASHED OUT @ One Eyed Jacks – 10/18/11
As a huge fan of this year’s debut LP Within and Without (on my short list for album of the year), I was curious to see how the headphones-friendly, droning sounds of the record would translate on-stage. Instead of relying on the trusted formula that worked so well on record,... more
PREVIEW: Galactic / Earphunk @ Varsity Theatre (Baton Rouge) 10/20/11
Galactic heads down to the Capital City tomorrow for their annual fall blowout at the Varsity Theatre in Baton Rouge. Not sure if the veteran rhythm section will be joined on the road with any of the usual suspects of the past few years (Corey Henry, Cyril Neville, Corey Glover,... more
VIDEOS: Railroad Earth @ House of Blues 10/16/11
Railroad Earth unleashed a saucy Saturday night show at House of Blues this weekend – laying down their signature mix of boot stompin’ string music with the cavernous space-grass freakout that has made them favorites of the genre.

PHOTOS / REVIEW: Toro Y Moi / Unknown Mortal Orchestra / Bass Drum of Death @ One Eyed Jacks, NOLA 10/10/11
Seeing three young and hungry bands delivering fresh goods to an equally engaged and curious audience was invigorating. There is a burgeoning scene in town that is very much tuned into these great new frequencies, all very wonderful to see, well worth a groggy Tuesday to kick it down in... more
PHOTOS / VIDEO: North Mississippi All-Stars @ Tipitina’s 10/7/11
The boys from the Mississippi hill country returned once again to one of their favorite venues (even mentioning at one point that NMAS should have a monthly gig at Tip’s – one can dream), continuing to operate as a model of consistency and delivering a lengthy display of instrumental mastery... more
VIDEO: Bonobo @ The Hookah, NOLA 10/6/11
Last night, internationally-acclaimed groove doctor Simon Green brought his Bonobo DJ show to The Hookah, a trendy French Quarter spot down on Decatur Street.

TOUR DATES: Lana Del Rey announces Toronto, LA and NYC
The latest indie-rock vixen worthy of Hipster Runoff's sting and Pitchfork's introspection seems to be Lana Del Rey; apparently the internet is up in arms over whether or not she's the next big thing or the next big hype. I'll have to dig in a bit further on the... more
DRAGON SMOKE: December Shows Announced, Jazz Fest 2011 SBD

PHOTOS / VIDEOS @LMBNOLA: Skrillex @ The Sugar Mill 9/30/11
I consider myself a considerably open-minded and eclectic music consumer with the ability to see the appeal of just about anything. Here are a few observations and things that I liked about last night: while I found the music mostly offensive to my ears, the corporeal energy in the room... more
REVIEW / PHOTOS / VIDEO: Explosions in the Sky @ Tipitina’s 9/28/11
On a stormy Wednesday night, Texas space rockers Explosions in the Sky washed every molecule of space in 501 Napoleon with riff squalls, overflowing the building with ambitious, montage-y triple guitar rock music. I moved around a fair bit given the somewhat short set (75 minutes or so) and never... more

@LMBNOLA: VIDEOS from Chromeo @ House of Blues 9/18/11
Somehow still standing from our late Saturday night -> Saints game -> Royal Street bender, we hopped down to The House of Blues to see Dave 1 and P-Thugg’s first visit to the Big Easy. Their fiery ball of 80′s/electronic party music brought out a pretty solid Sunday night crowd,... more

@LMBNOLA: ACL Saturday (MMJ, Phosphorescent, Wanda Jackson & more)
