Mardi Gras Indians 11.5.06

These dudes drove eleven hours from New Orleans to Asheville, and within a few moments of arriving were on stage, adorned in pink feathers, and pounding out sounds, shouts, grunts and moans true to the back streets of the Big Easy. They displayed the lively culture of New Orleans soul like you've never known for just shy of two hours, then were back in the van on their way home. Damn.
