Throwback Night at the Republic, like the Eighties Dance Party at One-Eyed Jacks, is a local favorite, and the people of New Orleans are more than happy to turn out to see which up and comers they need to pay attention to in the coming weeks and months. When I first moved to NOLA from [...]

The clutchest basketball player at LSU doesn’t play for the LSU Tigers. And the best game played on LSU’s campus this season wasn’t played in the PMAC. Semi Tough played the Monstars in an epic battle that ended with either team not deserving to loose the UREC Men’s Basketball Championship. After being down by 10 [...]

David Bazan stopped by the studio today and gave a great interview with DJ Church Mouth. Hit the jump if you missed it to listen to it in it’s entirety, and also catch the in-house performance he played for us. You really don’t want to miss this

This issue of the Legacy, entitled “The Art of Noise”, offers the witty and thought-provoking articles readers have come to expect, but [...]

Should the most productive player from the 2011 Cotton Bowl start next season for the LSU Tigers? Take a deep breath people. This is not another column about Jordan Jefferson. Jefferson put together a below-average spring game going 4-14 and one interception, but the coaches still consider him as the clear No. 1 starter. Plenty [...]

Cut Copy takes the crown for a second week in a row and The Radio Dept. claims the bronze medal.

Check it out! Gogo got to interview Prom Date and Big Rock Candy Mountain before their show tonight at the Spanish Moon, hit the jump to listen in.

This past Friday, the Spanish Moon hosted a trio of local bands: Yuko X Chino, Bhang Khang, and Strugglebear. Yuko X Chino started the night, and loudly at that. The noise rock trio created dense, ambient soundscapes that ranged from melodic to cacophonus. Their wall of sound was easily the loudest of the night, and only a [...]
