Wow...

So I think the fact that I haven't posted since mid-day Friday may speak to the fact to how great Friday and Saturday Nights of the NOLA Indie Rock Fest were. Seriously, we packed One Eyed Jacks and Howlin Wolf which is all thanks to everyone who played and came out. All 7 bands killed it. It was really great having The Peekers go down for a visit. Also seeing The Public for the first time in 6 months. Oh yeah and the after party at The Saint?!?! Nothing like leaving there at 6:15 am. This weekend went so fast, it was unbelievable. I haven't had this much fun in a while, and hopefully everyone had a great time.

Keep your eyes here (and our website) for some pictures of the fest and links to reviews, and of course everything else indie rock.

and now SPIN and USA Today?!?!

TGIF. Oh that is so true, especially today. We just got word that we got a huge mention by none other than SPIN. Yes, we are for real.

Also, here is the link to what Spin Earth is all about. It is a great new site Spin is launching that is currently in Beta. About

As if that wasn't enough, USA Today linked our listing from Nola.com. Again, for real.

Locally, Keith Spera Hot Picked us for the weekend.

Wooo. Ok, we are exhausted with excitement. Day 2, here we come.

NIRF Day 1

What can we say? Well apparently, we are pretty damn pleased with how tonight went as I am posting about it now when I got home, instead of waiting till tomorrow morning. The Blue Party, The Pharmacy and Caddywhompus all brought their "A" game, as did the Hi Ho Lounge and everyone in the crowd. I can't wait for tomorrow night at One Eyed Jacks. Lets make magic.

NOLA Indie Rock Fest starts TONIGHT! and Offbeat loves us mucho.

Tonight is the night. We've been planning for months, you've been waiting for months and now we will all rock out for three straight nights.

Come to Hi Ho tonight for Day 1 and pick up a weekend pass and come out every night.

NIRF After Party Announced

If you had any doubt that there would be an after party to close out the fest, you were mistaken.

There, of course, will be one. It will be happening at one of our favorite local bars, The Saint.

So after rocking out to Glasgow, swing on by to The Saint for some follow up action with DJs.
