The late 80’s and early 90’s saw national acts appear at varsity. The Pixies and spin doctors played one year, amongst others. The Bayou has some bands in the early 80’s that later went big, like REM.


The idea of seeing Pixies or REM in Baton Rouge is bananas to me

shite...


One of my favorite shows ever was 311 at the Varsity the day Soundsystem dropped.

Supposed to play river center that day but river center had to cancel, so varsity called them and they were stoked to stay in BR like planned.

Ended up on the tour bus after the show getting high as frick with them.
