A music calendar for brass band addicts like us

Posted by Red Cotton on Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 12:29 PM

Matthew Hinton
Hot 8 Brass Band

If you’re like me, brass band music is a priority. And while our little empire of New Orleans is fabulously over-saturated with music for the next 10-plus days of Jazz Fest, it can be a bit of a pain to root through all the various website listings of acts, events and performances to find options specific to your taste buds. Fear not! Your girl Big Red helps you stay ahead of the game with an easy-to-navigate online calendar created specifically for brass band addicts like you and me. I’ve dug through the catacombs of every live performance listing and extracted the good sh*t so you don’t have to.

Y@ Speak: Easter eggs edition

Posted by Lauren LaBorde on Mon, Apr 9, 2012 at 12:04 PM

Happy Easter! Or, for those of you who don't celebrate, hope you enjoyed your day of watching The Ten Commandments on cable or trying to navigate a sea of hats and floral attire in order to get some damn brunch. Or maybe you spent the day tired from a weekend of SlutWalk-ing, Crescent City Classic-running, partying with Quentin Tarantino or just Instagram-ing super hard. Whatever you did, I wish you a happy spring of bountiful crawfish, new beginnings and discounted Peeps.
