Although we’re a music blog, I feel it pertinent to occasionallly delve into the world of comedy. Todd Barry will perform tonight in NOLA as part of his “Cities I’ve Never Performed in Tour.” I very much wish I could catch this show, but I’m in Baton Rouge.
Barry is something of an alt-comic whose subject […]

This is where I’ll be this evening, and I suggest you do the same. The Mints are quite renowned amongst the indie kids. They’ve been compared to The Flaming Lips, though I think that is mostly because they hail from the same area in Oklahoma–that and singer Allen Vest sound vaugely like Wayne Coyne. Whatever […]

This show will be supported by Giant Drag and The Joggers. Pretty Girls Make Graves aren’t bad, but I’m a big fan of The Joggers, as I’ve mentioned a few times. With a Cape and a Cane was one of my favorite albums of last year. Doors open at 9PM — $10 cover.

Rehage Entertainment has announced the headliners for the 2006 Voodoo Music Festival in New Orleans. Red Hot Chili Peppers and Duran Duran will be on the main bill this year. The two day festival has continued to expand over recent years, making it one of those most significant events in the country. This year’s headliners […]

Anyone other than me up for some punk minimalism? I hope so. This is going to be a great show. These guys played at Coachella, but they were scheduled at the same time as TOOL and I had to miss them. But I will be there tonight! Last year’s Bang Bang Rock & Roll is […]

I have every intention of being at this show. It has been scheduled for nearly a year and I’m still bitter for missing their performance with Thrill Kill Kult. They are the veritable gods of industrial music and they have a new album out. Rio Grande Blood doesn’t suck, but I’m getting sick of Bush […]

The Troubadours are one of the most excellent and significant band to come out of the burgeoning Baton Rouge music scene. They play, my favorite, experimental rock. The quintet combines accordion, banjo, euphonium, percusion and a slew of other instruments to make a a highly unique sounds. No cover, so no excuse for missing this […]

Liquidrone frontman Clint Maedgen and keyboardist Casey Mac are playing playing a special show sans band tonight. No performance art, just the Liquidrone songbook and “other surprises” as Clint has said. It’s going to be an intimate show, whatever that means. They play experimental rock and are one of my performing bands. Success is knocking […]

Ah yes, a little dirty Southern music. It’s experimental folk night at Zeitgeist. Dirtfoot is folk punk–yea figure that one out. It works though. Check them out on Myspace if you don’t believe me. They sound something like what The Squirrel Nut Zippers would be if you dragged them through some hurricane puddles and didn’t […]

Come for the music, stay for the fabulous prizes! One Eyed Jack’s monthly bingo event is tonight. Liquidrone is probably one of the best bands in Louisiana right now. Experimental rock with a heavy Mr. Bungle undertone. Good stuff. This show will also feature performance art. Doors open at 9PM with a $10 cover. Should […]
