$ 12.00 – $15.00 / Age 18 And Up
Additional Info:
Drab Majesty is the solo project of Deb DeMure, the androgynous alter-ego of L.A.-based musician Andrew Clinco. With its combination of reverb-drenched guitars, synth bass lines, commanding vocals, and rhythmic drum machine beats, this project is a stark departure from Clincos previous stints as drummer in Marriages and Black Mare. Dubbed Tragic Wave and Mid-Fi by DeMure, Drab Majesty eloquently blends classic 80s New Wave and hints of early 4AD with a futuristic originality. Drab Majestys first release, a limited-edition cassette of 100 copies titled Unarian Dances, was self-released in 2012 and re-pressed by Lolipop Records shortly thereafter. Drab Majesty then signed with Dais Records and put out the debut LP Careless in 2015. Careless was met with high praise from critics and fans alike, and the original pressing is now a sought-after gem. A year after the initial pressings of Careless sold out, Dais released a compilation titled Completely Careless, featuring Drab Majestys entire discography, including two previously unreleased tracks.

Event Details
Join Khris Royal and Dark Matter for a special tribute to the late great Art “Poppa Funk” Neville at Maple Leaf with special guests Leon “Kid Chocolate” Brown and Anjelika “Jelly” Joseph.
The night will consist of three sets. The first set will be a set in tribute to Art Neville with Dark Matter and friends. The second set will be a regular Dark Matter set. The third set is a surprise that we can’t talk about yet but trust us, you don’t want to miss it.
Khris Royal was born to be a musician. This young and exceptional New Orleans native began playing the saxophone at seven years old, and producing and writing music at fourteen. Royal’s musical talents were nurtured at the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts (NOCCA) High School, in classrooms once shared by jazz greats such as Wynton Marsalis, Branford Marsalis, Terrence Blanchard, and Donald Harrison. When Royal was only 16, he was granted a full scholarship to the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA and his career has taken off since then.
To date, Royal has played with hip-hop giants and jazz and funk legends alike, from Lettuce, to Bobby Brown, Solange, Dr. John Alvin Batiste, Ellis Marsalis, Christian Scott, Branford, Delfeayo and Jason Marsalis, Tony Clifton, The Sam Kininger Band, and Johnta Austin. The impressive young artist has recorded with Mary J. Blige, Ashanti, Nelly and The Game, Erykah Badu, Goapele, D.J. Quick, and is also featured with the Regiment on Season 2 of The Boondocks. Royal has developed relationships with prominent New Orleans artists as well, such as George Porter Jr., Zigaboo Modeliste, Fred Wesley, Big Sam’s Funky Nation, Galactic, and countless more. The range of Khris’ musical relationships is versatile and reflects the scope of his talent. Although Royal continues to expand and develop his craft, from Jazz, hip-hop, rock, soul, electronic, funk, R & B, Blues, and Reggae –musically, there is not much Khris Royal has not already mastered and incorporated into his unique style.
In addition to leading his own band, Khris Royal & Dark Matter (see below), Khris Royal has been the only horn player in George Porter Jr. & the Runnin’ Pardners since Fall 2009. In 2011, Royal joined as a touring member of the popular West Coast

Event Details
The Hancock Whitney White Linen Night is an annual celebration of the New Orleans art scene. Presented by the Contemporary Arts Center and hosted throughout the Arts/Warehouse District, White Linen Night features an evening filled with exclusive performances, gallery showings, parties, and more.
The National WWII Museum joins the party this year by opening our special exhibit gallery—where “In Memory of What I Cannot Say: The Art of Guy de Montlaur” is on view through October 20—for the evening. The exhibit explores the life and work of a French fine-art painter who fought Nazis on several battlegrounds, surviving hand-to-hand combat as a member of the French army at the onset of World War II then the perils of Sword Beach with the Free French Commandos on June 6, 1944. Guy de Montlaur, who suffered multiple wounds in combat that he carried for the rest of his life, channeled his wartime experiences into art, creating vivid abstract paintings until his death at age 58 in 1977.
Two more Louisiana Memorial Pavilion exhibits—”The Arsenal of Democracy: The Herman and George R. Brown Salute to the Home Front” and “The D-Day Invasion of Normandy”—will be free to tour as well, and a concession stand offering food and drink will also be offered.
The Museum and its parking garage (1024 Magazine) are just steps away from the Julia Street Block Party as well as the CAC’s “Party After Dark,” so be sure to include Guy de Montlaur’s striking artwork on your White Linen Night itinerary!
White Linen Night access to Louisiana Memorial Pavilion is free. More information at the ticketing link.

GRATEFUL DEAD SONGS PLAYED BY NEW ORLEANS MUSICIANS
“BUSTED DOWN ON BOURBON ST. SET UP, LIKE A BOWLING PIN” (TRUCKIN’- GRATEFUL DEAD; 1970) NEW ORLEANS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SORE TOPIC WHEN REFERRING TO THE GRATEFUL DEAD, MOSTLY ATTRIBUTED TO THE BAND’S FAMOUS HOTEL ROOM ARREST AFTER PERFORMING A SHOW AT THE WAREHOUSE IN JANUARY 1970. AS A DIRECT RESULT, LISTENING TO THE MUSIC OF THE GRATEFUL DEAD IN A LIVE SETTING IS HARD TO COME BY IN THE BIG EASY.
