KNSU Slips BaCkStaGe at Voodoo Fest (New Orleans) in '05!
... And this is a long overdue blog about that day...
Two Saturdays ago Voodoo Fest, this year lasted only one day in New Orleans and two additional days in Memphis due to the hurricanes. In addition, it was turned into a huge concert benifit for "Restore. Rebuild. Rebirth."
KNSU was there. We're just that hip-- so hip in fact, that we were able to score Press Passes and chill in the free bar with all the kick ass bands. We've got audio proof of this account, and it will be heavily edited (due to FCC regulations) and aired on KNSU soon and over the next few weeks.
DJs TRoLL and Don Puebla recorded interviews and shoutouts from Queens of the Stone Age, World Leader Pretend, The Brotherhood of the Groove, The New York Dolls, writers for MTV, Supagroup, and others! Listen to your BEST alternative station, 91.5 "the edge" KNSU for more on all that!
Getting drunk in the free bar with The New York Dolls and Queens of the Stone Age was the BEST! At some point, Madlaugher was on his 9th drink and Trent Reznor sat down next to him on the couch. They had a CONVERSATION! Not much, due to intoxication was remembered. However, I have to wonder if it was altogether merely a booze induced hallucination of sorts...
NIN opened with "Head Like a Hole," then went into "Closer," but after that it's all a blur because I was running around stalking the bands for 11 hours with bronchitis and asthma (and after walking to Nicholls that morning to catch up with my carpool), and at some point I ended up in the New Orleans hospital, against my will, where I refused to be treated. Was it worth it? You bet your sweet ass!
Keep listening to 91.5 "the edge" for more interviews! An interview with vocalist/musician Dax Riggs will be aired Thurs. of this week at about 12:45. Soon to come, Ruyter Suy, guitarist of Nashville Pussy (as soon as I get the file from Cade in my e-mail, and then a week or two later.)
motto: "KNSU: ...Um, I'll get that tomorrow." The BEST alternative station on the entire Nicholls campus!
This is DJ TRoLL signing out!
PEAcE!
