Remember how popular superior grill on government was on Thursday nights in late 90’s and early 2000’s? There would be a good band playing most every week and it was always packed

We went during that timeframe almost every Thursday night.

I was there 01-05. There was a really good Weezer cover band called tWeezer. I usually only saw them at northgate tavern.

Late '70's, early '80s for the dance scene.

[The American Tragedy (I think they were from Shreveport but played BR a lot)]

Can’t remember who they opened for years ago at a show I attended, but the song “Beneath every Pearl” stuck in my head. Very good singer.

I went to HS with several of them. Small world Jake. And yes, Charles knows them all. I see him from time to time out here. Running like a damn gazelle.

crappy cover bands like Parish County Line and Neutral Snap.

These guys are so cringe. No clue how they’re so popular around the area.

Saw BTE at a Sig Ep frat party. Bush, Toadies, and Hum at PMAC in 95 was awesome. Endless names at Varsity from Incubus, Poe, The Urge, Marilyn Manson, etc. I think cell phones killed concerts, definitely their atmosphere. Went with my wife to see Red Jumpsuit Apparatus at Varsity in 2009. From the balcony all we saw was a sea of cell phone screens where the mosh pit and dancing fans used to be in our college days.
