QuikieMart and friends hit Lil Joes Tavern Friday, Ap 15

Martin Arceneaux, aka Quikie Mart and Mr. Tibbs, is part of the Media Darlin Records congerie out of New Orleans. Martin has been building beats with a passion since high school at Caddo Magnet, where he was a poet and wag. I've got recordings of his work going back to dark step sounds on cassette.

Catch his rap and his podnas at Lil Joes Tavern Friday, Ap 15.

Lil Joes now has a web site. Quite helpful, Zach. Happily for Shrevetown, Zach and Benedict have put their not terribly large grill on the national indie band circuit.

A bit o' perspective from Sara Hebert's blog:

"There are those people who moan and complain that "Shreveport Sucks!" I shake my head at them and say, you are a silly fool. Last night I realized that Joe's is actually on its way to being damn cool. I'm horribly proud of Benedict, whom the last I could remember was drinking a Daquiri, reading in a hammock stretched between two porch posts of 538 Dalzell. The guy has mad passion for the place and doing cool sh*t. I'm proud to have him as a friend. I just wish he'd quit calling my cellphone."
