Bingo! Halloween Weekend ReCap

2011-11-02T09:35:00.000-07:00

Wow. What an AMAZING weekend! While we are still recovering, we wanted to fill you in on this epic-ness:

The Bingo! Parlour stage at Voodoo Fest once again hosted an amazing lineup of local and national talent; and the Times-Picayune dubbed us a Rock Family Reunion.

The clouds parted on Friday morning in time for Cheeky Blakk to shake the house. She came back on Saturday for a bounce Azztravaganza featuring her, Katey Red, and Vodkah Redu.

X marked the spot on Saturday night.

Saturday, Uptown Messenger got a nice shot of Happy Talk's set.

Gambit had great words to say about punk legends X, Vodkah Redu, and Cheap Trick, pics included!

offBeat Magazine gave a nice shout out to Bingo! Parlour performers Hurray for the Riff Raff, Peelander-Z, Cheeky Blakk, Katey Red & Cheap Trick.

Of course, our set Saturday night closing out the Bingo! Parlour was killer. Here is a video of the very appropriate Halloween.

After Voodoo, we headed over to One Eyed Jacks to rock the HIZOUSE!

Fans described the show as "A. Maze. Ing." and "Fantastic"

We're amazed and amused!! Thanks as always ya'll!!

2011 BINGO! Parlour Profile #11: R. SCULLY AND THE ROUGH 7!

2011-10-24T09:08:00.000-07:00

There's no one better equipped to capture the boozy, mercurial melancholy of New Year's Eve than R. Scully. A former frontman of the self-denigrating Bywater denizens Morning 40 Federation, Scully now leads the Rough 7, with whom he bellows out raspy wallows over a distinctly Orleanian meld of honky-tonk, bar blues and Replacements-era rock 'n' roll. They share the bill with multi-instrumentalist, playwright and mute-no-more mime Ratty Scurvics, whose Singularity program — a one-man funhouse imbued with the tortured spirits of a thousand carnie-barkers and Off Broadway creations — is now populated by a big band playing out the twisted visions in his head.

A loosely confederated alliance of very loud people, including, but not limited to, The Krewe Of Joyful Noise, The Buttonmen, The Big N.O.N.O., The Spasmodic Marching All-Stars, Vermillion Lies and other shadowy organizations about whom little, if anything, is known.

2011 BINGO! Parlour Profile #8: QUINTRON AND MISS PUSSYCAT!

2011-10-22T12:30:00.000-07:00

Quintron has invented a number of innovative musical devices. His first invention was called the 'Spit Machine' a hand organ which used saliva as a tuning conductor. Describing how the apparatus works, Quintron explains that "You had to spit on a stick, like a paint stir stick, and you had two metal leads that you would touch to either end of the line of spit and then you would move the leads closer together - higher pitch - and farther apart - lower pitch. The weird thing is that, the way I built the oscillator, spit was the only thing that I could use as a conducter (sic). Lemon juice was too conductive, water not enough, etc. You actually had a lot of control over the pitch with spit - it wasn’t too sensitive - and could really play it in tune like a real organ. There was also some resistive quality to human spit that gave the oscillator some weird overtones too.

His next invention was called the 'Disco Light Machine,' a device which, in his own words, was a "system of pick-ups that you would attach to a drum kit and the sound of the drums would light up a light inside a darkened box and this light would activate electronic sounds to go along with the drums - the harder you played the drums, the brighter the light and the louder the electronic sounds."

His most notable instrument, however, is the 'Drum Buddy'. The Drum Buddy is a mechanically-rotating, five-oscillator, light-activated drum machine which can either be set to play automatically, or manipulated to create a number of different sound effects. The drum buddy has its own informercial, The Drum Buddy Show, which includes a number of guest appearances and performances by artists such as Quintron, Miss Pussycat, Ernie K-Doe, MC Trachiotomy, and the Drum Buddy Dancers.

2011 BINGO! Parlour Profile #7: THE WOMBATS!

2011-10-21T12:11:00.000-07:00

The Wombats return with the new single ‘Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)’ on September 27th on 14th Floor Records.

Eagerly anticipated second album to follow at the end of 2010.

Renowned as one of Britain’s most exciting live bands, The Wombats are poised to storm back to prominence with the release of the new single ‘Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)’ on September 27th on 14th Floor Records. The single introduces the band’s eagerly anticipated second studio album (title to be confirmed) which is set to launch their unique style to a wider audience when it’s released towards the end of the year.

Produced by Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age, Lostprophets), ‘Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)’ adds an array of new sounds (including sweeping synths and an insistent bassline) to the band’s famously immediate songwriting.

The single will be released on CD and two 7” vinyl formats, as well as digital single track download and an iTunes exclusive. A special fans collection that compiles all of the formats will also be available to buy directly from www.thewombats.co.uk.

“We've approached this album slightly differently from the last,” explains drummer Dan Haggis. “Whereas the first album was practically recorded live with a few overdubs, this time round we've had the time to really play with the sonics. Now we just can't wait to get out there and get sweaty.”

The Wombats are currently putting the finishing touches to their upcoming second album in the NRG Recording Studios in Los Angeles. As well as Valentine, the Liverpool / Oslo trio have also collaborated on the project with super-producer Jacknife Lee (U2, Snow Patrol, R.E.M.). Although the immediately infectious punky hooks that characterised their debut album are firmly in place, their progression has been characterised with the addition of more leftfield touches and aggressive elements to their sound. The band’s inimitable charm is also prevalent, although it has been streamlined into a darker, more serious approach.

Already confirmed as one of the major attractions at Australia’s touring festival Parklife that runs from September 25th to October 4th, The Wombats are planning their first full UK tour since November 2008 – details of which will be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Following the release of their debut album ‘The Wombats Proudly Present… A Guide To Love, Loss and Desperation’, the band’s ascendency continued unabated. The Wombats completed two huge sold-out UK tours which included triumphant shows at Brixton Academy, a unique one-off headline show at London’s Royal Albert Hall and a massive homecoming show at the 10,000 capacity Liverpool Echo Arena. They were nominated for Best UK Act at the MTV Europe Awards, and played a plethora of enormous festival appearances including a co-headline set on the NME/Radio 1 stage at Reading and Leeds as well as storming sets at Glastonbury, T in the Park, Isle of Wight and Oxegen.

2011 BINGO! Parlour Profile #6: HAPPY TALK!

2011-10-20T11:49:00.000-07:00

Happy Talk Band formed in New Orleans, Louisiana in 2001 and features the songwriting of Luke Spurr Allen, accompanied by some of the top musicians in the Crescent City scene; Alex McMurray (Tin Men, 007) Bailey Smith, Steve Calandra, and Mike Andrepont (all three members of the now mostly defunct sleaze rockers Morning 40 Federation), Casey McAllister (formerly of New Orleans Bingo! Show) and Helen Gillet (Wazozo) on cello. They have won two consecutive Big Easy Awards for best roots rock in 2007 and 2008 but didn't let either go to their collective heads, mostly because they're not entirely sure what "roots rock" is. Happy Talk has released three full length recordings: Total Death Benefit (2004), There There (PFAM 2007), and Starve A Fever (PFAM 2010), the latter two were released by Piety Street Files and Archaic media; a local label formed by producer Mark Bingham and artist Shawn Hall.

Happy Talk has played venues all over NOLA as well as some of the city's more esteemed festivals, including New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Voodoo Fest, and French Quarter Fest. They have also toured the the Bay Area of California, the southeast and the midwest, where they recently had the great honor of headlining Bay View Fest in Milwaukee, and shaking hands with the mayor. Songs range from folk to country to rock to punk; featuring space monkeys, bank robbers, aliens, Romanian junkies, anesthesiologists, murderers, veterans of war, alcoholic bike riders, scary giants, suicides, muggers, strippers, and Jesus. But really, in the end, they're all mostly love songs.

Without ever descending into easy melodrama, Luke Allen and a revolving cast of simpatico musicians get together to make grimly funny country rock populated by people harboring downsized dreams and death wishes... SPIN MAGAZINE June 2008

2011 BINGO! Parlour Profile #5: PEELANDER-Z!

2011-10-19T11:12:00.000-07:00

You know there is a higher voodoo power at work when PEELANDER-Z have collectivized their super powers to come to the 2011 Voodoo Experience. All there is to say is JAPANESE.ACTION.COMIC.PUNK. Sounds like pure gold.

PEELANDER-Z, the Japanese Action Comic Punk Band based in NYC, was originally formed in 1998 by Peelander-Yellow, Peelander-Red, and Peelander-Blue, after meeting in New York City (although they'll tell you they're all from the Z area on the planet Peelander). Peelander-Green was welcomed in July 2008 after Blue left the band.

Peelander-Z has appeared at major music festivals including Bonnaroo, CMJ and SXSW, and played with artists such as Buckethead, Electric SIx, Particles, The Vibrators, and Guitar Wolf. Peelander-Z has also been featured on TV programs like VH1's Best Week Ever, Comedy Central's Upright Citizens Brigade, Spike TV's MXC: Most Extreme Challenge, and Anime Network. They also often perform at Anime conventions and festivals all over the US, as well as at Kaiju Big Battel.

At their live show, you'll see the band in colorful costumes reminiscent of Japanese Animation, though they describe their outfit as their skin. Their shows guarantee intense audience participation and chance to exercise with the band. "Do human bowling with us. Do limbo dancing with us. Do karaoke competition with us. Hit our cowbell with us," says Yellow. " Don't be shy, give us your smile! We can beat your stress! See you at our show!"
One experience would capture you. Jsut pay attention to their coming activities.
