I remember around 96 or so telling all my friends about the smoking hot girl that was in one of my sociology classes at LSU that I was trying hard to talk to but couldn’t even get to first base. One night we walk into the Caterie and she’s singing onstage, my first time to hear Alison Collins.


Consider yourself lucky that she wouldn't talk to you -- she's bat shite crazy

People got older man.

Classic night when the bass player was getting head in the parking lot of a bar in houma, and ten plus of us piled into the vehicle all at once. His poor girlfriend was so embarrassed I was legitimately blushing

When they do their anniversary shows at the varsity, look around at the crowd, it's a combination of the caterie crowd, the Northgate crowd, and renaissance bar in laffy.

If I never see jager again, it will be too soon.

This fat comic book reader looking dude sitting at the table next to us (a couple of friends and myself) had slicked back hair and a ponytail to the middle of his back. He was actually a pretty big dude... Anyways, this guy was for some reason just pissing my friend off and after a couple of hours he was just seething at this guy. A out the damn blue my friend jumps up, grabs this fatfuker by the ponytail and starts dragging him across the floor. Dude's feet were kicking up and down real fast like he was having a seizure and he was squealing like a girl. I looked wide eyed at my other friend and he busts out laughing... laughing so hard he actually couldn't breathe and started choking and threw up in the corner. I guess you had to be there, but that was some funny chit.

Omg thank you for the archive! Janka Joe was my favorite cover band. Finally remembered the name thanks to the 2002 calendar.

The Caterie was a pretty cool place. I enjoyed going there more than most bars. Too bad the fire torched it. I forgot all about that place.

The 80s cover band, The Flamethrowers, played there often. Solid group.

Took the wife down for a football game and tour of old haunts. Went to the Caterie for drinks. Troy Turner and Third Gear, one of my favorite BR acts, happened to be playing there that night. Bonus.

I became friends with a guy that said he was their drummer. He had some wild stories to tell nut they sounded kinda exagerated for a local band.

Catering was good, and I’d take it today in a sec, but the Page and papa Joes was better.

What a great place. I wasn't a regular but it was definitely on the rotation short list of places to go.

Friend was a doorman there for a while, cock strong guy from W Monroe. Once saw him punch a shite starting douche so hard the guy had a seizure, fell on him and tore his shirt halfway off because his spaz fingers had grabbed onto his shirt as he was falling.

I went there quite a bit from about 1999-2005. I worked with Ginger the Janka Joe singer and she sometimes brought me up on stage for a song. I was also good friends with the really tall bartender, Nick. You might remember him as the 7ft tall guy.

I forgot about Janka Joe. Everyone would get onstage when they played some song at the end of their set. I remember being onstage one time fricked up like a pile of coat hangers and acting like I was Jim Morrison about to pull my junk out in front of everyone. I was quickly yanked from the stage into the crowd below.

I got so drunk one night I bought the Liquid Sand CD. Never listened to it once. I think I still have it somewhere.

Was friends with the lead singer and went to see them a lot, there and elsewhere. Yeah Brad was damn good and a great guy. IIRC he was real young then, like barely 18 when they started out. Good times.
