On [a pre-Thanksgiving] Monday night, Lykke Li appeared at Tipitina’s, a rare occurrence for an artist on this kind of ascent, that can perhaps only be comparable in recent years to Phoenix’s fall 2009 appearance on their Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix tour. Photographer Julia Pretus was there to capture the action – continue on for a photo gallery from the show at Tipitina’s Uptown and check out a handful of videos below the gallery.
It didn’t take long for this makeshift musical beast called Tryptophunk to groove into a well-oiled machine, finding their stride well within the first 20 minutes of a 2.5 hour party at Tipitina’s Uptown to ring in Turkey Day. Highlights included the early and often Meters covers, including “No More Okey Doke” and “Ain’t No Use”, as well as an instrumental “Come Together” interlude, a nice take on “Thank You (Falletinme Be Mice Elf)”, and a fitting homage to Fess, when the super sextet closed it out with “Tipitina” at just a shade before 2 a.m.
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon continues to kill it with great musical guests. Last night, the Dodos performed “Don’t Try and Hide It” with Neko Case sitting in on back-up vocals. Check it out: READ MORE

Woah, sorry for the silence around here, folks. Life has been wonderfully busy in my world, and I’ve had no time to digest all the awesome year-end stuff that’s coming out now. But more important to me looking back on 2011, I need to get on previewing the awesome year ahead in live music now that 2012 is well within our sights.
The first thing we’ll obviously have an eye on in 2012 is the annual Jam Cruise music festival, the sold-out floating music festival for funk, untz, groove and jam lovers. But the weekend before, the same boat will be departing for the Holy Ship! festival, a strictly untz, whomp and dubstep floating event. Look at the lineup they have planned: READ MORE
