New Orleans Big Brass Circus Rock Music
Two weeks until Dirty Bourb & New Grass kick off their summer tour at One Eyed Jack’s. So much to do, so little time! Not to mention school & jazz fest – like a RZA beat, out of control!
Friday, May 7th it begins, here, in New Orleans. Just finished the summer showbills. Peep them here:
Not bad, ya? Can’t wait to kick off in the quarter – tix are $10 at the door, $5 in advance – get ’em here and avoid them punk ass lines and hassles: the hot shit. More to come shortly…
DBRS drummer Dane “Bootsy” Schindler & Co-Manager Clay Miller turned 21 this weekend.
It was amazing. Still a little drunk, and it’s Wednesday.
Just some thoughts as this spectacular & magnificent Friday approaches – excited as all hell for New Grass Country Club’s new album “Join the Club” – I recorded it myself late last October, and let me tell you, it sounds damn good – and now soon, you all can hear it too… I know, if you like any kind of folk, blues, bluegrass, or roots music, if you give this record a good listen, you will fall in love with it like I have. I really like the boys in New Grass, they’re a great band, and I hope you all come out and share the experience this Friday. More show preview goodies to come as the date nears. Stay alert. Word.

Also, another video by AttackSloth poped up of us playin’ on 6th Street:
Also, Aaron Lafont of Groovescapes.com did a really nice post on SXSW:
Man, were those some good times.
And speaking of time, it appears spring break is a mere hours away – I can feel the itchy restlessness brewing on the college campuses – just make sure you’re not headed to Acapulco, ’cause my MGMT teacher says their cutting heads off like crazy over there.
And so, another Friday is upon us. Some good shows to check out:
Noah’s Pick – Booty Trove, New Grass & Revivalists – Tipitina’s – 10pm
Others: Smiley w/ a Knife – Cafe Prytania – 10pm
Blue Party – Republic – 10pm
Sun Hotel – Here Today Gone Tomorrow Thrift Store (Baton Rouge) 8pm

Well, it’s noon now in New Orleans – in a couple of hours, I’ll have a daiquiri in hand…
Wanna join me?
Last but not least, check out this sweet post our friends Holy Ghost Tent Revival did on SXSW & their journey to New Orleans (whick includes a funny moment when Bill Murray throws their drummer into a trashcan:

First & foremost – WOw – Holy Ghost Tent Revival rocked the mutha cluckin’ house last night @ Cafe P – Burlesque dancers, Dirty Bourb ‘n’ New Grass an’ all that sweet stuff made for the perfect mix – they’re like Dr. Dog meets Old Crow w/ some Avett Bros & Dixeland. Check them here: HGTR Website
Hehe. Isn’t that a hoot & a holler. Wednesday. I kind of want a daquiri… hmmm… where was I?
Oh yes, next up: New Grass Country Club will be releasing their debut full-length album (co-produced & recorded by Noah Adams) at Cafe Prytania April 9th.

There are a ton of bands that are a part of this showcase including our peoples New Grass Country Club, 27 Lights, and Flow Tribe!
Plus we’ve got people in the lab coming up with all sorts of that good good to start floating your (yes that means you and you) way in the next few months.

What a wonderful Mardi Gras. What a wonderful fucking Mardi Gras. My god. Still mulling over everything that happened; some of it blurry, most good… where to begin?..
After playing Tipitina’s everything just kind of blends together… We win the Superbowl on Sunday… Mon. hurts the head… Slipped out of Gooslby’s class early and went downtown with a keg and my pirate friends midweek for the Super Bowl parade… then Friday, opened up for Rebirth Brass Band at Cafe Prytania (amazing show, thanks to all that came out), then Sat. blends into Sunday, saw Bootsy on a Thoth float, got pelted, then Lundi Gras took us all by storm… savagely drunk, stumbling around downtown, woke up on somebody’s lawn, delirious, made it to Zulu just in time…
Then I slept a long, long time, and now here I am, Ash Wednesday, full of sins, shedding them slowly, one by one… It’s been a long, wild Mardi Gras… thank you everyone who was a part of it…
Many great new things to come… new songs… going to SXSW… Album’s up on iTunes:
Check it out, please continue to spread the word…
Well, I’m beat, going back to sleep for a minute…
Until then.
