somethingvinyl Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 So NOLA is famous for bounce music, our organically grown blend of southern rap and Mardi Gras call & response chanting. But we also have several drag queen rappers who are insanely popular. This is what we do here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpTVhsnV_HEhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-cT6SwFIHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paynegretzky Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Alright, so… This guy who goes by GBB the MC is from a small town suburb of my hometown (Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada). My hometown is one of Canada's only bi-lingual cities in both English and French and has a large Acadian population that speak a french dialect called "chiac." This guy is 100% serious - I've actually seen him around town before, he's insanely bad and I don't think he makes music anymore, but I could be wrong. http://music.cbc.ca/#/artists/Gbb - CBC artist bio.

Guest Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I've only been in the area once or twice, but I always know I'm driving past it when I see that Honda dealer right up against 77. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 snow in winter, yes lol. and yeah the skybridge is a cool place to go when youve got nothing to do. also downtown davenport in general has a couple nice places. ragged records is there, along with the RME (venue) and multiple bars, zip across the river and youve got rock island which has the rozz tox (great little venue/coffee shop) and then go upriver again and youve got moline, (iwireless center, and a bunch of great bars) I went to college in the Quad Cities (Augustana) and enjoyed my time there (2000-2004), although all I really miss are restaurants: Huckleberry's Pizza, the Blue Cat Brew Pub, Ross' (home of the fucking Magic Mountain!), Arthur's Deli, Whitey's Ice Cream... I drool just thinking about that stuff. I don't recall Ragged Records existing back when I was there, same goes for that venue you mentioned. The only places that did shows back then were Peabody's (there were two of them, one in Moline and one in Davenport) and the Eagles Reception Hall in downtown Rock Island. There was also a DIY space that did shows my freshman year of college, called the 620 Collective or something, which was pretty neat, but it went away seemingly as fast as it showed up. I saw most of my shows in college by driving an hour west to Iowa City. Gabe's Oasis was my jam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno how old/young you are, but I also worked on the Dwyer & Michaels show for a little bit back in 2003. You might remember them, they were the most popular morning show in the area.

I know they left for a few years to Cedar Rapids or something, but I guess they came back? Dwyer was a pretty okay dude; Michaels was a dick.
