Tonight come join “Three Rings of Funk: A Spectacular Summer Circus” at the Blue Nile on Frenchmen Street. Three amazing local bands will be musically stroking your everythang in this order:

10pm: Alex McMurray Band ~ This stone cold streetstyle songwriter – in the vein of Tom Waits and Danny Barker – comes heavy with an aural arsenal of a band: Carlo Nuccio, Joe Cabral and Bill Malchow

11pm: The Dirty Bourbon River Show ~ You know how we do

Midnight: E Company ~ NOLA Jazz Soul Funk to bring you to the moon. Also a quintet, and just as dynamically heavy as the first 2 acts, E Company packs memorizing melodies with tight, intricate beats and fat syncopated grooves that put a smile on your face and a stranger’s hand firmly on your ass.

Do not miss this shit. These three amazing bands will light you the fuck up. Come get some.

0 Noah’s Guitar For Sale

Washburn D10CEB Pro acoustic /electric guitar for sale – only one owner (Noah), this guitar has been played in the Dirty Bourbon River Show since its inception, in very good condition, completely set up, great intonation, stays in tune for entire gig, no matter how hard you play it, one small split in the surface finish in the front and standard pick wear on the guard, otherwise looks very good and plays incredible – new delrin nut, string pegs & saddle – this is a pro guitar owned and maintained by a professional musician.

Listen to the albums listed in our “music” section to the right – all acoustic guitar tracking was done with this Washburn. Works great as a studio guitar or a gig guitar. Pick-up/amplification very high for an acoustic.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

As a bonus, it has both a 1/4″ and XLR outputs, so you don’t have to use a DI if you’re running into a stage snake. Also has an onboard tuner & eq for lows, mids, hi’s + presence knob. And as a special bonus, I am including 10 sets of Dunlop strings, 5 sets of Martin strings, a new Martin neckstrap, a new Planet Waves black shoulder strap with locks, an used Hohner gig bag, a string winder, and a special Simpsons guitar pick featuring Auto the bus driver.

I’m asking $500 for the package, or you can make a bid on eBay. If you’re interested or have any questions hit me up at: contactingnoah@gmail.com

0 Will Google+ Beat The Facebook?

google-vs-facebook — Google's new networking site "+" crosses swords with the facebook

Lookout Facebook: Google recently launched a new test version of their own social networking site – Google+. Currently available by invite-only (thanks Brad of Gypsy Space Caravan for the heads up), Google is currently ironing out the kinks and preparing for a full public launch. One has to wonder – just as Myspace finally met its day, will Facebook too soon be swept under the rug? With recent issues of privacy within Facebook and a ADD-like world consciousness, will Google+ be the next big thing? Search engines, Gmail, maps, docs – they do pretty good with these… but just how good is Google+?

Here’s a little review:

0 What We’ve Been Up To Lately

Good times in Jackson, MS last night. But so much has happened since then and when we last talked. Hmm, let’s see… where to begin?

The six of us (Me’n’Charlie’n’Bootsy’n’Jimmy’n’Matt & Clay) arrived homeless back in New Orleans at the end of June from our S/SE tour. Bootsy left for Europe for a month, and the remaining five of us found a nice, cheap, big place in the Marigny to lay low for a while. We now live at 1234 Fake St:

We’ve been getting by, hustlin’, bustlin’ & busking (catch us today in Jackson Square and on Frenchmen late afternoonish, getting a slow start) & playing club gigs when we can pick up a drummer (Dave Shirley from E Company has been a godsend ringer). Catch us at Moe’s BBQ in Daphne, AL this Friday, and at the Blue Nile on Frenchmen Street this Saturday with E Company and the Alex McMurray Band. This show is going to kill…

Also, we’ve picked up a manager – the venerable miss Jaime Coggins. From Holy Ghost Tent Revival (of whom she also manages) to P-funk to Jaco Pastorius to Roberta Fleck, her taste is direct and without falter, and her judgment – keen and sharp like Japanese folded steel. She’ll be handling most of our business end from now on, I’ve updated our contact section should you need to contact her regarding gigs, private parties for the Queen of Atlantis, etc. Here’s a little Leonard Cohen / Dr. Dog mash-up to honor our new union:

Looking forward, we’ve got some big things planned for the rest of the summer. Bootsy gets back from Europe at the beginning of next month, and then the 6 of us will be hitting the road hard (check the sidebar for dates ->) – got another South/Southeast tour (TX, LA, MS, AL, TN, FL, SC, NC, VA) this August, then, come September, we’re headed to Colorado…

Big things in the horizon my friends…

It’s a funny thing, how life moves at such an incredible pace.

Your Friend,

~ Noah Adams

P.S. Our 4th album is fully recorded and currently being mastered by Bhob Rainey (who also did Volume Two, a true gentlemen of sound). Me’n’Charlie just finished hand-drawing the cover art ourselves this weekend. Peep it:
