A good playlist is essential for any party, and Mardi Gras is the biggest party in the world! I have hand selected my top 25 songs to create the Perfect Mardi Gras Playlist. Feel free to listen year round, though, as it will come in handy when you’re having Mardi Gras withdrawals or even if you’re just having an overwhelming sense of pride and love for New Orleans. I promise it’ll get you movin’ 365 days out of the year!
so basically, i’ve been wanting to see mumford live for 3 years. it was worth the wait! and seeing them in nola, on what is now considered their last tour for a while, was very sweet. sadly, once they finished the tour the next week, they announced that they are taking a break indefinitely. i refuse to take this as a break up. i think they’ve just been though a hurricane the last 3 years and need a serious break, especially with their bass player getting hospitalized this summer.
the show was at mardi gras world, and the venue is basically just a giant slab of concrete in between the mardi gras world warehouse and the mississippi river. it was a particularly warm september summer night. and when i say warm, i mean hellish hot.
