Dive into the vibrant world of live music in New Orleans with our expertly curated content. Discover events, stories of performers, and the essence of NOLA's musical culture at Music Nola. Music is where it's at.
A truly amazing show from Japanese punk rockers TsuShiMaMiRe. Amazing energy, amazing fun, amazing musicians. If you get the chance, you NEED to see this band. They've been around since 1999 and it took us this long to find them. Formed in Tokyo during college, they still have two of the original three members: Mari Kono on lead guitar and vocals, Yayoi Tsushima on bass, and now Asami Suzuki on drums. It just goes to show, music’s where it’s at. No matter where you are or where you're from.
Johnny Mastro plays the best blues harp in New Orleans! Hearing this sound during the daylight hours was a new thing, but hearing it at BMC was pretty cool (great sound in this joint). He was playing here with Sean (Shawn? Shaun?) Timothy, I believe. They took turns singing songs which made for a fun couple of happy hours. No matter who Johnny's playing with, the Mama's Boys or other iterations, you know it's going to be powerful, heavy, and bluesy. He really cut his teeth playing for the legendary Laura May "Mama" Gross in California leading to OC Weekly dropping the classic line of, "Mama's Boys? They play like sons of Mike Tyson!" He's been plying his trade in Nola since 2014 so get out there and see him!
