Live Picks: 09.01.2011 – 09.07.2011
09.03: Native America + The Tontons + New Grass Country Club – Breezy’s Riverbend
Before going on hiatus in June, New Grass spent the first half of 2011 unleashing a terrifying streak of rollicking and soulful live sets that echoed with the high points of punk, classic rock, and alt-country and oozed with dexterity and unhinged enthusiasm. Of all the bands that went missing during the oppressive summer months, New Grass Country Club’s return is the easily most exciting.
Live Picks: 08.11.2011 – 08.17.2011
08.14: Zorch +Caddywhompus + Sun Hotel + Twin Killers – One Eyed Jacks
It needn’t bear repeating how mind-blowing of a performance Zorch put on last time they were in New Orleans save to say that it was LOUD and there was a startling array of LED lights saturating the bottom floor of the Dragon’s Den. With that in mind, they’re finally returning to New Orleans at One Eyed Jacks on Sunday.

05.24: Marathon + Algernon Cadwallader + Snowing + 1994! – Dragon’s Den
This group of young Philadelphia musicians has spent the better part of the last five years unapologetically tracing the lineage of a now-out-of-common-use genre of rock known as “Emo”, sifting through the abrasive screams of its immature late-80s post-punk form and the pompous studio sheen of its 2000s bastardization to find an under-appreciated formula from the mid-90s that made the emo designation – at least at the time – so appealing, accessible, and ultimately cool.
