VIDEO: 2011 Bear Creek Music Festival Mashup

Randy over at Funk It! does some amazing videography work and this might be his best yet – a 16-minute video that manages to blow through 26 different performances from the 2011 Bear Creek Music Festival. Apparently Mr. Funk It managed to capture over 14 hours of footage from the weekend so expect a lot [...]

Thanks once again to Randy Bayers from the Funk It page for sharing his videography skills with us. Randy’s off to Bear Creek this weekend so look for more from Live Oak when he returns. The videos are a little fat due to their HD quality, please excuse the bleedover. IS IT BEAR CREEK YET? [...]

Hangout Festival 2012 Announcement This Friday

Links

A big announcement regarding the 2012 Hangout Music Festival appears to be coming on Friday 3 p.m. CST, as indicated by the ticking clock on the festival’s home page. It will be interesting to see how they follow up the 2011 festival, a resounding success by most accounts I’ve heard that sold in excess of [...]

JAZZ FEST 2012: Rumors, Guesses, Wishes & More

Epic Previews

The Voodoo Experience is now in the rearview and the relentless fall concert schedule is starting to slow down (although one could easily keep themselves busy on the live circuit until NYE) and therefore it’s time to start speculating about the 2012 Jazz Fest lineup. Hard to say who will be at the top of [...]

PHOTOS / HIGHLIGHTS: Day Three @ Voodoo Experience 2011

Scroll to the bottom for a photo gallery from Sunday at Voodoo 2011 My experience since being in New Orleans is that Sundays are an exceptionally treasured day in the city, and this perhaps never rings truer than during the all-too-common special weekends and particularly, during local music festivals. Sunday at Jazz Fest this year [...]

Worshiping the Weird, the Macabre and Caving Into the Bounce Friday may’ve been an eclectic day out in City Park, but Saturday is when the full realization that this might just be the most eclectic festival I’ve attended started kicking in – headed up by the fact that the SoCal Punk Retrospective was going down [...]

PHOTOS / HIGHLIGHTS: Day One @ Voodoo Experience 2011

Links

On a gusty, overcast Day One, Soundgarden far exceeded expectations after an initial washy sound marred the first few minutes of their set, delivering 2 straight hours of heavy, psych-infused hits from deep in the legendary Seattle grunge band’s catalogue, including a few tracks from Louder Than Love and Badmoterfinger. Cornell chatted up the audience [...]

PHOTOS / VIDEOS: Peelander-Z @ Voodoo Experience 10/28/11

Links

This one was every bit as zany as expected multiplied by 10. Human bowling, a crowd walking bass player, spandex and fish netting, baseball and some aggressive action comedy punk all transpired on Friday afternoon when the Bingo! Parlour Stage was transformed into a scene from the distant planet of Peelander-Z. This one gets its [...]

REVIEW / PHOTOS / VIDEOS: The Original Meters @ Voodoo Experience 2011

Links

The Meters’ show yesterday was perhaps the most highly-anticipated festival set of the year in New Orleans (up there with the Rads’ final Jazz Fest blow out) and the holy funk quartet did not disappoint, far exceeding expectations with an hour long funk session alongside a horde of special guests including Cyril Neville and members [...]
