5500 the time that I booked them in 2010.

The problem is that there's nothing you can do about them just sending the "B" squad, and theree's no doubt that they sent the LSU fraternity guys the B squad. Also they played for less than an hour probably.

I still think it was one of the worst shows I've ever seen by any sort of respectable band, but last spring they played Bogies, and I had an absolute blast, and then the Howlin Wolf the friday of Mardi Gras week with the Revivalists was incredible. There's just a huge variation in what you get with them.

That's always the problems with these bands and private parties/weddings etc. They take advantage of perceived budgets .... Kermit Ruffins just quoted a friend of mine 12500 to play his wedding reception. Are you kidding? I know he has gained in popularity, but I booked him into the Spanish Moon for $750.00 ..... you could book some impressive and known bands for that money to play a venue, but your are limited by dates at a lower price point.

Just the nature of private events .

I would guess that shorty will cost much much more than rebirth.

I've always wondered about New Orleans BINGO Show. I'd love to have a huge party and have these guys entertain.

Rebirth has like 3 crews.

They are notorious for showing up late and playing like 30 minute sets.

Actually worked w/Clint way back in the day as a teenager. The most musical guy I've ever met in my life.

You realize he also plays in the Preservation Hall band right?
