Spring Shows and Feelin' The NOLA Funk

Howdy folks!

First off, got some shows this month I'd like to tell you about.

On Friday April 12th we will making our first appearance at El Cid in Los Angeles.  We are excited to play a new venue and share some fresh tunes with you all.  Also, we are pumped to be on the bill with The Elizabeth Kill, Badwater, and Falling Still.  Gonna be a great show, do not miss!  More info hereFACEBOOK Event.

Then on Saturday April 20th (420 bro) we will be returning to O'Brien's Pub in Santa Monica.  Always a blast to play all night long at this tiny beach town venue.

And on Friday April 26th we will be returning to one of our very favorite spots to play The Mint!  This room is truly one of the best in Los Angeles showcasing immense talent in an intimate setting.  We cannot wait to share the stage with Almost Classy, Caty Ivy, Porter Lori, and The Empire Assembly!  Without a doubt this will be a fantastic show!  Not to be missed!  Tickets/info here.

So, last night we had the pleasure of witnessing some true funk come alive at The Roxy Theater in the form of New Orleans-based Dumpstaphunk.  Wowsers was it a groovy show.  These cats throw down like only those from New Orleans can.  Led by Ivan Neville of the legendary New Orleans-based Neville family of musicians, Dumpstaphunk showcases the wicked skills of bassists Tony Hall and Nick Daniels III, Neville family member Ian Neville on guitar, and Neville family member Nikki Glaspie holding it down on drums.  All of them stellar musicians.  A little sample:

We also had the grand pleasure of seeing Galactic perform at The El Rey theater last month.  The NOLA vibe runs strong and true and we have certainly gotten a quality dose recently.  In case you have not witnessed or heard the glory that is Galactic led by the superb drummer Stanton Moore,  please check them out:
