"Ponderosa Stomp" Reminder

In you are in the vicinity of New Orleans on April 27-28, don't forget the Ponderosa Stomp, which we first talked about here. There are even more details available about the show now:

    PONDEROSA STOMP 2004
    TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27-28, 2004
    MID CITY LANES ROCK 'N' BOWL
    NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA

    WHAT:

    The Mystic Knights of the Mau-Mau have trolled the backwaters and tributaries of rockabilly, blues, country, swamp pop, garage punk, soul, funk and more sub-genres than you can shake a stick at to present the Third Annual Ponderosa Stomp and we hereby command YOU, dearest music fan, to make the scene and dig the doings.

    WHY:

    One quarter history lesson, three quarters house party and two nights of flat-out rock 'n' roll insanity, this year's line-up is systematically programmed to viscerally blow your senses to bits!! We've got the famous, we've got the obscure, but most of all we've got the guys and the gals that still deliver the goods, playing the songs that blasted up the charts, influenced the masses or turned their authors into mysterious cult figures - occasionally all at the same time!!

    Where the Stomp differs from other festivals is in it's ALL KILLER, NO FILLER booking policy and take-no-prisoners attention to detail. You'll see the lost heroes you love doing the songs that have been knockin' you out for years! It's what we like to refer to as POETIC JUSTICE.

    WHERE:

    It'll all be happening at Mid-City Lanes Rock 'n' Bowl, a killer '40s style bowling alley located directly above a huge thrift store, a Thai Restaurant and the Crescent City's best Cuban deli, the Union Supermarket. Although we know that there is just something intangibly special about hangin' out in a parking lot during a rock 'n' roll show, those whose heart rates are known to become dangerously critical with continual exposure to a straight dose of non-stop R&R (rock 'n' roll, that is) from 5 p.m. till 2 a.m. can grab a bit of the other kind of R&R (rest 'n' relaxation, that is) downstairs in the Low Down Lounge, where a full program of R&B, soul and blues bands will be holding forth on both nights. For those who simply can't make up their mind: schedules will be posted and those stairs make for some good exercise!! Get your tickets now as this blast-to-top-all-blasts is expected to sell out.

    WHEN & WHO:

    TUESDAY, APRIL 27: "I CAN'T FIND THE DOOR KNOB"
