For those of you who aren’t really cool and in the know, NOLA is another way of saying New Orleans. Pretty sure its a Greek translation or something. Relatively positive about that. Just lemme check to make sure….. yeah I’m right. I thought so.

So while in NOLA we opened up for Soundgarden and My Chemical Romance, like 8 hours before on a different stage at the Voodoo Music Experience! For real though we played right before the Wombats, which made us all cry because we need a Postelles buffer between us and those Wombats. We dressed as the gang the Dead Rabbits from the excellent film Gangs of New York, and peeps totes luv’d it. Voodoo Fest is basically an insane community where some people are in halloween costumes, some people are not, some people half-assed it, and everyone is eating delicious (and I must say, very reasonably priced) authentic New Orleans cuisine. We got to see the Wombats put on an insane set and we watched My Chemical Romance from the side of the main stage, but unfortunately we missed color-coordinated Japanese band Peelander-Z, who apparently have the most insane live show ever (after us of course) because we were doing interviews (because we’re super famous). As Soundgarden played we could be found in the vacant football stadium, having kickoff competitions with a Wombat and some of their crew. Even from great distances we could tell that Chris Cornell has totally still got it. We saw him after and he looked like Jesus. Or what people like to think Jesus looked like. Jesus wasn’t white, you guys.

So right now it’s the morning after our Houston show, which was at a very cool place called Fitzgeralds. The crowd was fantastic and we ate some authentic tacos. The authenticity came into question when we realized the guy who seated us did not speak any spanish, and I felt kind of bad for assuming (but really? great mexican food within 6 hours of mexico? I dont feel so bad really), but it tasted really authentic, so we’ll give it to ‘em. 

Today, it’s off to Austin!
