007 has been rocking steady in New Orleans since 2000. The brainchild of G Love and
Special Sauce drummer Jeffrey "Houseman" Clemens, 007 is a forum for playing great
Jamaican music from the 60's by such artists as Desmond Dekker, Bob Marley and
Toots Hibbert (Toots and the Maytals). 007's members also play in some of the area's
best bands. Bassist Joe Cabral fronts The Iguanas on Bajo Sexto and tenor saxophone.
Composer and guitarist Jonathan Freilich founded the New Orleans Klezmer All-Stars
and plays guitar in many styles from jazz to folk. Alex McMurray plays guitar and sings
with Tin Men and the Happy Talk Band. Infectious dance grooves combined with three
part harmony singing and brilliant guitar improvisation are the hallmarks of this New
Orleans Party Institution. They have released three records, most recently “The Return
Of Ben Downlow” in 2024.

Bobcat is a one-man band like no other. Drawing inspiration from the likes of garage rock, soul music, power-pop, rhythm and blues, rockabilly, punk rock, psychobilly, new wave and indie rock, this one-man band takes the notion one step further with ornate arrangements with minimal accompaniment.

LUNDI GRAS at HOLY DIVER!! 🎡 This is gonna be a good one!! 🎉 LORETTE VELVETTE with MICHAEL HURTT AND THE NEW ORLEANS NIGHT HOWLERS, ROCKIN' DON WAYNE and special guest DJ MATTY! Doors at 8PM / $15 / 21+ @holydiverneworleans

Until this past October, Lorette Velvette had not played in New Orleans since the late eighties when her mesmerizing Memphis rock 'n' roll band the Hellcats scorched the city with a still-talked about appearance with Tav Falco's Panther Burns. Since then, she's become an otherworldy chanteuse of Southern song, her deeply Delta-inflected style ignited by trailblazers like hill country blues guitarist Jessie Mae Hemphill and Moon Records' rockabilly maven Cordell Jackson. Like a 21st Century Bobbie Gentry, her music is rooted in the vaguely familiar, yet defies simple categorization, with myriads of blues, country and gospel tributaries running through its strikingly soulful rock 'n' roll spirit. Be sure to burn this upcoming Lundi Gras appearance into your brains and calendars!!

FOLLOWING THE MUSES PARADE /10PM/ $8 ADV 21+

Ari Blaisdell and Matt Jones are System Exclusive: a Pasadena based two piece band bearing an armful of mini synths, making heart-throbbing capital P pop cut with more than a hint of post-punk. Blaisdell’s vocals hearken back to openhearted 80’s hitmakers unafraid to quaver in the name of love, and they’re buoyed by Jones’ laser-gridded synth concoctions and heavy hand on the ones and twos.

Nite Nurse is a quartet of New Orleans rock n roll malcontents, including members of Il Gruppo Fr and Luxurious Faux Furs. They have problems, and they have songs about problems.

“I WANT TO PLAY THE PIANO THE WAY LINK WRAY PLAYS THE GUITAR"

Spinning tall tales of folklore, myth, urban legend and conspiracy theory through the kaleidoscope eye of soul, rock & roll and pre-war r&B, Harvey McLaughlin’s piano playing (and guitar slinging) antics have been ever present in the San Antonio music scene for the better part of the last twenty years. Be it in the dark instrumental horror surf outfit, the Sandworms (2008-2015); the jump blues psychobilly extravaganza of the Hares (2012-2016); or, more recently, joining the legendary Austin/SA cowpunk ensemble, the Hickoids – McLaughlin’s raucous style and swagger spreads wide.

His two full length albums, Tabloid News (2018) and Rascality (2020), are available via Saustex Records.

He’s currently playing in the aforementioned Hickoids, as well as keyboards for the Chicano soul revival, Eddie & the Valiants.
