Big Rock Candy Mountain is a rock band, straight and clean. You could call it dance metal, you could call it, psychedelic dance rock, you could call a fiery burning ball of sound. The band has quickly shot out of the starters gate. Since their debut in March, they have played Tipitina’s and headlined the Republic, two of the largest rock venues in New Orleans. They have quickly developed a fan base, and are at the level of a seasoned rock outfit. Big Rock Candy Mountain is currently in the studio working on its debut release. Look out for more shows, more press, a new album, and sweet looking shirts. This band is going to hit the road soon…

Fay Wray was a piano rock band with horns, that took the colleges of New Orleans by storm. Over 3 and a half years of playing together, they went from out of towners no one knew playing in a coffee shop, to the biggest rock band at Loyola, and one of the largest drawing rock bands in New Orleans. Their 14 track album swan song, "Tug Love," is loved by 12 year middle schoolers, college students, baby boomers, and 65 year old catholic nuns.
