Open mic following.Drive down St. Claude into the Lower 9th and turn right on Mehle street just before the Rallys (across the street from Geralds Donuts) Lighthouse records is the old lavender building about a block before you get to the levee.

Lou Barlow & Bobby Bare Jr. | Hoist The King
Monday, November 9. Chickie Wah Wah. 8PM. 25.00 (advance).
You know and cherish Lou seBaDoh for their elite and clever indie rock, noise pop, anti-emo, with '94 Sub Pop effort Bakesale being likely the finest such album of the nineties. Much ink was spilled by zine auteurs in said decade debating whether Pavement, SebADoh, Yo La Tengo, Fugazi, Sleater-Kinney, or Superchunk was the top U.S. indie rock dog. (Other contenders: Polvo, Unwound, Liz Phair, Archers Of Loaf, Sunny Day Real Estate, the Jesus Lizard, etc.) To understand Lou's sense of humor, listen to Sebadoh's infamous 12-minute "Showtape '91": https://youtube.com/watch?v=ast87xNJcps. They would play snippets of it live in between songs while tuning guitars. 21+.

Madball | Rotting Out
Wednesday, November 11. Chelsea’s Live (1010 Nicholson Drive, Baton Rouge). 7PM. $28 (advance).
Madball has one original member, but it's their iconic singer, Freddy Cricien, a.k.a. Agnostic Fred, because he would often sing a few songs onstage with Agnostic Front as a kid in the '80s. He was also nicknamed Madball, so this AgFront side project quickly took on that moniker. This show would certainly sell out in NOLA, but likely won't here. (The tour has no NOLA stop.) Infiltrate the system. https://myspace.com/madball. In an interesting case of the pupil influencing the teacher, Rotting Out's 2011 début LP has a song titled "Laugh Now, Die Later," and Madball's 2018 album has one titled "Smile Now Pay Later." (Though both could be referencing Suicidal Tendencies' 1988 platter How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today?.) 18+. Flyer: https://i.ticketweb.com/i/00/12/94/41/24_Edp.jpg

Other characters, including a disfigured lady who lives inside a radiator, inhabit the building and add to Henry's troubles." In Heaven, everything is fine!

"For a band that has spent more than two decades refining a language of restraint, atmosphere and tension, there is something quietly disorienting about the moment that opens Interpol’s This Mirror Weighs a Ton." Deafheaven's "2021 album, Infinite Granite, reduced the black metal elements in favor of a shoegaze sound, with mostly clean vocals from [George] Clarke. In 2025, they released Lonely People With Power, a return to their blackgaze sound." All ages. Flyer: https://www.instagram.com/p/DezJtksl39Y
