Indie Triple in Lafayette
The center of Cajun culture, Lafayette is a wonderful place to go to get your head spun back on right. It’s a lush and mysterious setting, and also an extremely lively local urban culture. There are always plenty of concerts and art events, and the fascinating blend of cultures and languages here are very pleasing to the seasoned globetrotter. For seasoning, however, the place will melt your ideas of food into something entirely new, as Cajun food is some of the most incredible flavors anywhere in the world. Be on guard for gout, however, and use a little sense, but so much as to prevent you from having a good time here. The music is very good here, and I’m guessing that one concert in particular will fill the hotels in Lafayette, if anyone has any sense.
I understand that the economy is making it very difficult for people to get to see the shows they want. We’ll probably be seeing many different techniques used to draw larger crowds again, the same kinds of cons and acts of common sense that always crop up in times of crisis. One of the most sensible of these, however, is stacking the bill. One band used to draw people, and still does, occasionally, but if you have two bands that are both really great, then you’re in for something more lively. Add another to the mix, and it should be one of the great concerts of the year. That’s exactly what’s up at The Spanish Moon in Baton Rouge in February.
It’s going to be worth the hour drive. This show is featuring indie rock greats Eisley, from East Texas, along with two local bands, Norcio and Cohen and the Ghost. All of these bands are extraordinary talents, and play some of the coolest sounds anywhere. That they’re local, however, makes it even more worth the visit. If you’re from here, it’s a chance to touch roots and the future of the roots at the same time. If you’re visiting, this will probably make you wish to move here.
