How has life been since Swamp People started airing?
It’s been very different.
How so?
It’s hard to get work done. There’s always visitors looking, tourists coming through the town looking for us from all over the country, and now all over the world. We got people from other countries now showing up looking for us. It’s hard to get work done now.
Darwin the Dinosaur troupe impresses on America's Got Talent
Posted by Will Coviello on Tue, May 15, 2012 at 10:41 AM
New Orleanians may remember the theater piece Darwin the Dinosaur, produced by the local dance company CORBiAN Visual Arts & Dance. (Previewed here in Gambit.) It seems that some configuration of that company and the work impressed the judges on America's Got Talent last night. Howard Stern even waxed sappy and patriotic. More to come.

Battle of the Bands: Treme vs. The Wire
Posted by Kevin Allman on Thu, Apr 19, 2012 at 1:58 PM
If you think two weekends of Jazz Fest will sate your musical cravings for a while, think and think again. On May 11, Tipitina's is throwing a Battle of the Bands, New Orleans vs. Baltimore/Washington D.C.-style. It'll be hosted by NOLA's own Wendell Pierce (from Treme and The Wire) and Michael K. Williams (Omar on The Wire). It's all a benefit for The Roots of Music, and tickets are only $20. VIP hookups are $100.
Our city will be represented by Galactic and the Stooges Brass Band, who need no introduction. Balto is sending Lafayette Gilchrist and the New Volcanoes and Anwan Glover and the Backyard Band. Here's a look at Gilchrist in action at Bertha's in Fells Point:

GIVERS gets the Glee treatment
Posted by Lauren LaBorde on Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 2:51 PM
Lafayette/New Orleans band GIVERS, who Alex Woodward profiled in a cover story last year, are now likely on the radar of theater kids and moms after their song was featured on last night's episode of Kidz Bop: The TV Show (also known as Glee). Two wheelchair-bound characters dueted on the band's catchy Afro-pop jam "Up, Up, Up," followed by Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" (see what they did there?).
The episode, titled "Big Brother," isn't available to watch online yet, but you can hear the audio from the scene in the embedded video. UPDATE: Here's the clip of "Up, Up, Up" from the episode.

Treme wins a Peabody Award
Posted by Kevin Allman on Wed, Apr 4, 2012 at 12:00 PM
The storylines snake and swoop like an unhurried jazz jam in this rich drama in which everyday people get on with life in post-Katrina New Orleans.
Creator David Simon's other critically beloved series, The Wire, won a Peabody in 2004 after its second season, just as Treme did.
The 71st annual Peabody Awards will be handed out at a May 21 luncheon in New York hosted by Patrick Stewart. The show's third season will begin this fall on HBO.

Tough Love: New Orleans will follow the show's usual format, in which "love gurus" Steve Ward and his mother JoAnn dispense brutally honest advice to women with a variety of dating dysfunctions, but this time in New Orleans*, a city the show's website says is "famous for its handsome Southern gentlemen and wild nights out on the town."
