I’ve been told that undertaking mental challenges like sudokus and crosswords helps to fight the onset of Alzheimer’s. If so, Voodoo Music Experience is doing its part to help keep you lucid longer by releasing its schedule on Twitter as a series of word scrambles. Yesterday I got Ween, Eagles of Death Metal and Trombone Shorty, [...]

Big Thanks
June 1, 2009 – 12:01 am
May—post-Jazz Fest—is usually a pretty relaxed month for all of the OffBeat staff. Our biggest issue of the year is done, and we reserve the right to kick back a little after all of our hard work. So this is my opportunity to thank all of our staff—Joseph Irrera, Alex Rawls, Elsa Hahne, Craig Guillot, [...]
Voodoo for Halloween
February 26, 2009 – 7:09 am
This year, the Voodoo Music Experience moves back to the Halloween weekend – October 30-November 1. No talent has been announced yet.
Brass Tasks
October 1, 2008 – 12:01 am
In Lafayette’s slumping indie rock scene, young band Brass Bed is a decent size fish getting bigger and bigger in a pond that grows smaller and smaller with each lackluster crowd. In the past 10 months, Brass Bed performed at two of the state’s biggest festivals, first Voodoo Music Experience, then a main stage spot [...]
Voodoo Schedule Up Now
September 29, 2008 – 8:34 am
The schedule for this year’s Voodoo Music Experience (October 24-26, not the Halloween weekend as it has been in the past). You can find it here.

Voodoo Fest: How Do You Voodoo?
October 1, 2007 – 12:01 am
Much of Voodoo involves the acts you’ve known for all these years; then again, there are some you might not know. Wilco’s performance of “Kidsmoke” at Jazz Fest 2005 was one of the festival’s finest moments in years. A study in tension and release, they played the German mechanik beat for long, chorus-less stretches so [...]
A World of Pure Imagination
December 1, 2006 – 12:01 am
It’s Saturday morning. This isn’t a time for live music. For some musicians, it’s time to go to bed. If you’re the Imagination Movers, this is a fine time for a Halloween costume concert. Your target audience is slightly hyper from breakfast cereal and cartoons, but nobody’s cranky and in need of a nap. When [...]
