Man….there’s a ton a converging things in this thread that hit close to home. Literally yesterday a bandmate of mine who’s a transplant from GA was asking when (if ever) New Orleans had supportive rock scene. I shared THIS documentary that showcases a bunch of bands from the 90’s that absolutely rocked in NO. Cap’n Meathead (with Stanton Moore), Rigid, Dang Bruh Y?, Fiddlehead, Black Problem, Lump, Etc.

I was in a couple bands back then, but was too young to know what’s what…Dane’s Blood and in the 2000’s, Pusher. My older brother played with Revel and Falling Janus.

Boogeyman….I have a VHS tape from a show you guys did in 2003 at Zeppelins (Bruh). I watched about 10 minutes of it and it looks like something y'all produced yourselves. A buddy of mine gave it to me a while back. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll find a way to get it to you.

Just had a memory pop in my head. Me and some friends were eating at the old Webster's Grill on Clearview. Some rednecks tried to fight us as we were leaving because one of my friends was wearing an EyeHateGod t-shirt

"I hate Gawd? what the hell is this shite? You hate Gawd? Well I hate you, motherfricker."

That was Rene one of the guitarist. I was their original vocalist and after I quit they replaced me with Robert who OD’d and then I think this guy Justin took over for him. They broke up shortly after that.

I can’t remember exactly what years I was with them. It could have been me singing or it could have been Robert. They used to get a friend to just record the shows. It was definitely self produced lol. It was actually after one of the Zepplins shows that I just decided to quit. I didn’t get along with one of the guitarist so we butted heads a lot and he was always trying to replace me so I just decided to walk away.

It was Renee . But a bunch of the band were a few rooms down from us. I remember one of the guys got refused a tattoo because he couldn’t sign on the line. Good times.

That might have been after my time. The only ones with tattoos are me, the original bassist (who is a tattoo artist now) who left to be the rhythm guitar for face, and the original drummer. That definitely didn’t happen to me and Glover (bassist). We were a little older than the rest of them.

Baton Rouge based Meriwether, and I’ll also toss out As Cities Burn since you mentioned a handful of Lafayette bands.

Yup. I remember The Zephyr used to play them a lot.


I was 14 singing New Age Girl loudly when setting up the dinner table and my mom yelled at me after I belted out “she don’t eat meat but she sure like the bone.”

At the time, I had no idea what that meant.
