Strung Out

Monday October 5th the doors of the Howlin Wolf will all have to be open as wide as they can be, because if they are not they will be blown clear off once the full audio assault of Strung Out is unleashed.

For those of you who are not familiar with this band's face-melting blend of punk-metal, Strung Out hails from Simi Valley California and have been on the scene since '92. They have 7 releases on Fat Wreck Records. Their music has become an anthem for the skater scene of late, and they are a regular part of the Vans Warped Tour.

So you must bring yourself to The Howlin Wolf New Orleans on Monday October 5th! The show will also feature Toronto's own The Flatliners, and New Orleans locals Alias Orion.

Here's a sample of what you have in store:

Dr. Dog Contest!!!

The Howlin Wolf New Orleans is righteously stoked (sounded like a surfer just then) to have Dr. Dog on Wednesday September the 30th. We hope you are all as excited as we are, and to see how excited ya'll might be we decided to have a contest for a pair of tickets to the show!!!

Here's how it works: WE NEED TWITTER FOLLOWERS!!!! So the person who gets the most of their own followers to follow us gets the prize.

Here's the hitch: When your friends follow us they must post as a status, "Just followed @howlinwolfnola because of @(your username here)'s love of Dr. Dog."

We need it to be done this way as a means to test your Twitter cunning, and so that we can tabulate the scores!!

The contest starts.....now! and will end at noon on Sept 29th. We will be contacting the winner through Twitter to claim their prize.

Good luck and get to Tweetin.'

Oh and here's some Dr. Dog to get you motivated:

The Knux

We here at the Wolf love a good New Orleans artist success story, and The Knux are just that. The two brothers Kentrell "Krispy Kream" and Alvin "Rah Almillio" Lindsey came up through the New Orleans hip hop scene like so many others, and they only managed to record a demo before the tragedy of Katrina force them to escape to Houston.

Katrina, however, turned out to be a blessing in disguise because while they were evacuated their demo managed to make it into the hands of an influential A&R rep Dart Parker. Shortly thereafter the brothers were on their way to Hollywood to begin production of their first album. Being in Hollywood got them the attention that they deserved, and also got a song featured on the show Entourage and the movie Harold and Kumar Go To Guantanamo.

Now with an awesome CD in hand, and a reputation for putting on killer shows, the Knux are coming back to New Orleans as hometown heroes for a night at The Howlin Wolf New Orleans.

The show is on Thursday, Sept 3 and is not to be missed. So come on out and welcome home two of Nola's prodigal sons!!
