Kickass show inexplicably organized
UPDATE: This show has been postponed due to a Scandinavian Hurricane — check back.
Some Lafayette music venue owners seem to be having it rough these days. (Those that are still operating, that is.) Same goes for those kickass bands that were forced into early retirement as a result of the aforementioned or distance or over-saturation or lives or whatever. This is leaving those of us who enjoy leaving the house — yet aren’t fans of Sandstorm remixes, steroids and Jägermeister — with few options.
The occasional silver lining to the squeeze is that a handful of hip, bicycle-riding, Parliament-smoking motherfuckers takes it upon itself to host private (i.e. public when word gets out) events dedicated to youthful rocking and, ultimately, 20-something relationship drama. (Fingers crossed.) This one strikes my fancy:
Hooray Day, $21 p.m. - 8 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 31@ 528 Lafayette St.
This event is classy (BYOB). Performers include:
• Brass Bed, 7 p.m.
• The Good Captain, 6 p.m.
• Teddy & The Tornadoes, 5 p.m.
• Smiley with a Knife (NOLA), 4 p.m.
• Magic Legs, 3 p.m.
• White Horse Tabernacle, 2 p.m.
Make it to Dolla Nite before then and you’re sure to hear some rumblings. I’ll be taking photos, so be sure to wear a nice V-neck or something. Listed below is information based on Facebook, the source of everything:
DESCRIPTION:
Everyone and their second cousin twice removed is invited to this house show. If we’ve never seen or met you before, and you have no idea whom this house belongs to.. fucking awesome. Meeting new people is the whole point. So don’t be shy, everybody gonna be gettin’ juicy, get out there and show your ass. Oh, and I’m dedicating this whole ordeal to Samuel. Get your ass back down here, Sammy. Tell everybody, everybody, everybody… and don’t wear your suedes, they will get scuffed.DIRECTIONS:
Head down congress coming from the cajun dome, headed towards downtown. About half a block before the library will be Lafayette street. Take a left and the house is straight ahead on the left. Now, you cannot park AT the house, that space is for bands to unload. You can park at the library, which is a whopping 2 blocks (IF that), or for all of you who are familiar with the parking lot across the street from my house, you’re welcome to it.
