Animal Collective at Webster Hall
This is all kinds of sold out, but that’s not going to stop me from putting it on here. If you don’t have tickets, you should find some. Animal Collective are without a doubt my favorite act currently going. Avant Garde awesomeness. They’ve got a perfect release record right now and […]

Benzos at One Eyed Jack’s
These guys blend mellow folk with nice dreamy electronica. Good show for a laidback Monday night.
Baton Rouge:

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists at Chelsea’s
Chelsea’s has their first big show at their new location. I’ve yet to see the new place, but I’ve heard good things. I don’t need to explain why you […]

Of Montreal at One Eyed Jack’s
Kevin Barnes and his band of Athenian misfits will play their fancy indie pop for New Orleans tonight. Good times will be had by all, I suspect. This will be a good show, but expect it to be packed. Cover is $12.
Baton Rouge:
Thunderbirds Are Now at The Spanish Moon
I really […]

Matt Pond PA with the Youth Groupat The Parish in HoB
It’s apparently indie pop week in New Orleans, but I’m not going to complain. Matt Pond PA kick ass. This is a sure bet. I think cover is $12.
Baton Rouge
Man Man at The Spanish Moon
If this show weren’t in Baton Rouge, I would definitely […]

Balkan Beat Box at One Eyed Jack’s
These guys are my kind of weird. They’re on a small tour across the states, from their native Brooklyn. It’s Jewish rooted Avant-Garde. They’re on tour with Hasidic Jewish Reggae guy Matisyahu, but he is sitting out for the New Orleans leg of the tour. That suits be […]

NOLA
Asobi Seksu with The Eames Era at One Eyed Jack’s
I hope you’re in the mood for indie pop, because The Eames Era are opening for Asobi Seksu. How cool is that? Two of the sexiest women in the indie scene will take the stage at Jack’s tonight. It’s good to see the little Baton Rouge […]

DJ Prince Pauper and Dub Insurgents at Cafe Brasil
Anyone else feel like dancing? Yea, me too. I, however, have to stay home and write a paper on stanziac fidelity. Real important stuff, you know. So you guys go and dance some for me.

PEELander Z at One Eyed Jack’s
OK, this is a half recommendation. I’ve […]

Prior to the release of the 2006 Jazz Fest lineup, I was excited about the event. I haven’t been in years because the artists are usually yawn-inspiring. Unfortunately they left my anticipations unfulfilled when they issued such a typical lineup for this landmark event. I had already written Jazz Fest 2006 off as a bust […]

I love these guys. I hardly ever get to see them, but everytime I do they’re great. They play zydeco with a fast paced rock element to it. They always incite the crowd to dance like idiots. It’s a show I recommend in the utmost.
They’re New Orleans locals and they’re venturing forth from the […]

Sounds Below Sea Level Showcase at One Eyed Jack’s
The show features local bands Egg Yolk Jubilee, the Zydepunks, and the Other Planets. Egg Yolk is my favorite New Orleans band going right now. And the Zydepunks aren’t too shabby either. I don’t know anything about Other Planets, so please don’t hold them against me if […]
