Featuring a lineup of all-New Orleans based Backporch Revolution artists who appear on the charity fundraising 'Proud To Swim Home' CD. The show and album release happen on the 1-year anniversary of some Really Big Shit going down in New Orleans. See the backporchrevolution site for more information.

Big Hair Productions in association with Backporch Revolution presents a Black Sabbath Tribute night. Chef Menteur plays a satanic set for the show, as will our friends the Electrical Spectacle (Anton and Mike's infamous old duo reunites for this show), Shatner (potpie with our drummer Chris and others), the New Orleans Klezmer All-stars' Jonathan Freleich and more. See the backporchrevolution site for more details.

Gavin Elder comes down from Baltimore to play for all their NOLA friends and will be joined by local bands Chef Menteur, Hexbone Family and Country Fried. This will be after the closing art show for Jimmy Descant, who makes fantastic space travel vehicles out of old vacuum cleaner parts. 10pm. $5.

At the Circle Bar on April 25, Chef Menteur returns for the first time since Hurricane Katrina. (Technically, they performed under the name once in October but that was just Alec and Jim doing some improv with a minimal setup.) This show will have the full line-up plus new member Dan Haugh on drums and Moog. See the backporchrevolution site for more details.
