It would be easy to say that a band like the Blue Party looks a little out-of-place at the Saint. Indeed, a bar that is home to ear-splitting metal shows and bawdy late night dance parties wouldn't seem to be the most inviting place for a college band that plays self-proclaimed "Ameriparty" music. But the Blue Party is not just some "college band" that plays good-time folk-pop in and around the quad. They've been touring the entire American south and midwest since mid-January, and their recent show in New Orleans was less a homecoming than it [...]
The Blue Party + Baak Gwai performing at The Saint on July 18, 2011
Proceeds from The Blue Party's May 19, 2011 show at Tipitina's will benefit the Alabama Red Cross Local folk-pop specialists The Blue Party are fresh off a tour of the American Midwest and will be headlining a show at Tipitina's to commemorate successfully making it back to New Orleans. But the performance will be more than just the fun and games that typify a Blue Party, er, party. All the band's proceeds from the show will be donated to the Alabama Red Cross to benefit the victims of the recent tornado disasters. [...]

morning all. hope everyone's weeks end was to their liking. mine was swell, thanks for asking. when i saw the roadside graves play at the blue nile a couple weeks back, they werent the headliner, which kind of shocked and disappointed me. at the same time, though, i was selfishly kind of glad they werent cause i was pretty damn tired. the headliner was the blue party , a local new orleans band that i hadnt heard of and really didnt have any intention on sticking around for. again, this was really due to the fact that i was [...]
One of New Orleans newer bands, Blue Party , is headlining the world famous Blue Nile this Thursday with one of my favorite prog rocky bands from the big easy, Big Rock Candy Mountain , and the touring band, Roadside Graves , which has just recently signed to Aquarium Drunkard's new label. They always did say that blogs would take the place of record labels on day. MP3: The Blue Party - Homeless MP3: Big Rock Candy Mountain - Rocketship
I am not sure if as I get older I am getting weirder, or more interesting. I hope it is the later. I have decided to start asking random questions to bands. That will be my thing to keep me, and hopefully you interested. The lucky first contestant is The Blue Party , from my home town of New Orleans. I had a great conversation recently with a friend of mine. We spoke of a time when we would no longer have fancy things like Twitter and [...]

Here are the pictures from last nights show taken by the beautiful, and talented Tamara Grayson . THE BLUE PARTY THE PHARMACY [...]

So one of the two days that will upset me for not being in New Orleans this Mardi Gras season is this Saturday. Mostly because of the trouble I could get into at Krew Du Vieux, but if you are fortunate enough to head over there that night this could be a cool after party to hit up. It is brought to the world by the New Orleans Inde Rock Collective ( who announced their second festivals line up today ) and features a band that was on their first compilation cd and festival, Antenna Inn , [...]
