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.

--- This Year\'s Beneficiary ---

This year’s beneficiary of BlackRock Rocks Mardi Gras will be the Uptown Music Theater of New Orleans. Founded in 2000 by Delfeayo Marsalis, Uptown Music Theatre is a summer arts program specifically aimed at providing junior high and high school youth with musical theatre training. Its “Swinging with the Cool School” educational initiative is geared at young children, many of whom are struggling to express their feelings and cope with the losses and devastation following Hurricane Katrina. Find them online at http://www.uptownmusictheatre.org.

--- Perfomers ---

Delfeayo Marsalis, Brother Joscephus and the Love Revival Revolution Orchestra, Lisa Furman & The Blue Flies, Darian Cunning Band, Renard Boissiere, Johnny Durkin, Mike Falzone, St. Bernadette, Steve Detroy, Sketch the Cataclysm, Tom Crowley, John Torres, Brian Dolzani, Kung Fu, Larissa DeLorenzo n\' The Buttondown Mafia, 930 Moon, Chris DeAngelis & Big Moon.

That would be a great idea especially since you live back down that way.

I don\'t see myself being at the Doozer\'s set. Wish him the best.

Guessing that it\'s because BJ is more established and fits more of the Jazz/New Orleans feel of the event...  If there\'s open space then they should get more time, but KF has been around for a couple months w/ about 10 shows under their belt.  Of course they\'re not going to get a prime slot...

and also keep in mind that more than half the artists have been on board /helping to create this event for 5 straight years.  besides.  everyone know kung fu will annihilate.....and prob headline more events in the future.  there is alot of buzz in the rock about kung fu lately....so give it a chance.

I\'m not knocking KF, there\'s some good music being played (I personally need more than 5 minutes of vocals for a 3 hour show to enjoy, but that\'s me)...

FYI...it\'s a scheduling thing, nothing more.

From the way I understand it, they actually wanted to give Kung Fu a headline spot, but it couldn\'t work with all the band members\' schedules.

a.  they flew here from new orleans

they have gigs in the area for the whole month.

Quote from: LBoogie;251891

b.  this is a benefit

exactly my point. its not a brother joscephus show, but they get to play for almost 2 hours.

Quote from: LBoogie;251891

c.  ITS A BENEFIT

i heard you the first time, but paying for musical theatre training for students 1500 miles away isnt how i would like to spend my last $20 on the weekend. if it was for a local charity it would make more sense to me.

Quote from: LBoogie;251891

d.  there are like 20 different artists playing at 3 bars on 4 stages.

i would prefer fewer artists with longer sets for  $10-15

Quote from: LBoogie;251891

come on people.  get worldly.  think outside the box.  discover new music.  dance.  support.  have fun.  its just that easy.

you are the one that needs to think outside the box. just because something is fun for you that doesnt mean it is fun for someone else.
