Band Profile: Lovey Dovies

One of my favorite New Orleans bands, the Lovey Dovies serve up a delicious helping of what can only be described as good ol' fashion grunge rock. Landing somewhere between Dinosaur Jr and Local H, Lovey Dovies really bring you to a happy place with some of the catchiest hooks I've ever heard. Their self-titled debut CD is awesome from beginning to end...each song standing out in its own special way.

While they are still a relatively new band (formed  in 2009), they have already toured extensively including east and west coasts as well as South America! They have a great website and blog with stories and pictures from the road....  http://theloveydovies.net


Not only are they great at what they do, they are awesome guys too! I'll never forget how they stayed and helped clean up after Burning Crawfish last year before I was even fully awake! That is one way to ensure you'll be invited back!! Thanks Lovey Dovies.

Check out their sweet video... "Workhorse"

Band Profile: The Local Skank

These gals (and guy) are one of the hardest working (and most fun!) ska groups in New Orleans and this will be their second Burning Crawfish Fest! After forming through an ad on Craigslist in 2008, the chemistry between the members of this almost all girl group is amazing, as if they've known each other all their lives. They have a real knack for costumes, cupcakes, and really cute calendars that feature themed pictures of the band for each month of the year. Also, they have a song that teaches you how to Skank! So no excuses! I hope to see everyone dancing to their set Saturday June 18th!!!

Here's one of my favorite songs. Enjoy!
