Mod Dance Party New Orleans

First day in New Orleans, while getting some records and local rap at Peaches we got tipped off about a party at a spot called Saturn Bar around the 9th ward. We really didn’t know what to expect and it turned out to be a crazy-fun, no bullshit, all vinyl “mod party” (40s-50s-60s psych/rock/funk/soul). Packed in a dive with a bunch of interesting paintings and a cool balcony, people were going nuts to the likes of The Mighty Hannibal, Mongo Santamaria, early Beatles, the Ramones and more. The DJs were snapping hard, a girl almost fell off a balcony, everyone was mad friendly and I found out where to go digging today. The Mod Party crew are holding it down, playing events around the Louisiana area. I hope to see/book them in Chicago someday soon. If you’re in New Orleans look for this party!!!
