New Orleans Indie Rock Collective!

NEW ORLEANS INDIE ROCK COLLECTIVE. Yeah. I don't know about you, but I like almost anything with the word "collective" in it. It brings to mind revolution, counter-culture, economic equality and justice, and above all righteous hard-core communists. This organization has nothing to do with any of that... just rock music. In a city like New Orleans, that is a revolution of a sort.

Now plenty of you know that New Orleans is one of America's Greatest cities. Period. If you deny this, it's because you have never been there or you only went during Mardi Gras. I just stumbled upon the collective which promotes New Orleans' native indie rockers and that is kind of tough in a town internationally renowned for jazz. I love New Orleans brass, but I'm really excited about supporting indie rock. Thanks to NOIRC for collecting and releasing two albums for DL of fresh indie music from the Big Easy. Oh yeah, NOIRC is bringing in great live shows too. Very, very sad about missing the Datarock show tonight...
