Kung Fu and Chris DeAngelis just announced to play Black Rock Mardi Gras. I don\'t think exact set times have been announced, but I think Kung Fu goes on early (about 2:30pm) and DeAngelis a little later.
BlackRock Rocks Mardi Gras Celebration is a taste of New Orleans nestled in Bridgeport. A party with a purpose, our fifth annual fundraising event takes place on February 13, 2010. The party starts in the afternoon and goes well into the night. Featuring over a dozen bands and New Orleans inspired food, the atmosphere of Carnival is alive at three venues in the heart of Black Rock: Lady Luck, The Acoustic Café and the Black Rock Tavern.
