I was thinking about the local New Orleans rock scene in the 90s

World Leader Pretend had a run. May have been earlier 2000s

Saw what had to be one of the last Acid Bath shows sometime after Audie died at Jimmy's. They played with a band called Floodgate (I think) that was local and a crazy chick-led act called Crisis.

James Hall had a band called Pleasure Club back then that was killer. His bands usually are, though.

Didn't Deadeye Dick come out of there?

I remember them. My friends brother was heavily wrapped up in that scene. He played in a band called (no joke) Eat a Bag of Dicks. In case you ever crossed paths.

They were actually really good. I was surprised they never could break out of the NOLA scene

I remember them from right before Katrina. I liked the instrumental band Mexico 1910 from that period too.

I was introduced to that scene right at the tail end circa 2003-2005, if we mark Katrina as kinda the bookend. Too young to really appreciate it, but the little bands I was in were definitely trying to books shows at The Green Room and The Dark Room…which we were way WAY too young to be at haha.

I was a little later. My hs friends played at the dark room in the late 2000’s, and I played regularly at The Green Room circa 2010-2012.

There’s a few bands that we played with which stuck out, but the best band we played with from the New Orleans area at the time was easily Luke Starkiller.

What I seem to remember most was the majority of the metal bands at the time sounding like bad Pantera wannabees who couldn’t eq their amps to save their lives. I spent many nights awkwardly hanging out outside The Green Room just waiting for the crappy band inside to finish their set. Granted, my band wasn’t really much better
