FUTURE SHEIKS

(a public service warning)


    2007 reunification: Neutral Ground short-circuited; JazzFest infested

Despite their time in solitary confinement, the six sick Sheiks still haven't learned, and nor have the venues.
For the third fourth straight year we reinfested the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival

Booking the Sheiks.....

Make the same mistake as The Apple Barrel, The Blue Nile, Checkpoint Charlie, Covenant House, Ernie K-Doe's Mother-In-Law Lounge, Holy Rosary Academy, The Howlin' Wolf, Senator John Kerry, The Magic Bus, Mid-City Lanes Rock 'n' Bowl, The National Jazz Historical Park, The Neutral Ground Coffeehouse, The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, The Oddville Comedy Festival, the Ogden Museum, the Old Point Bar, the Parkway Tavern, Perseverance Hall, Private Parties, Restaurant Review TV, White Linen Night, WTUL-FM and WWOZ-FM!  The Basin Street Sheiks, who inspire reactions ranging from bemused tolerance to stunned disbelief, are available (bat mitzvahs and pajama parties our speciality) for just a paltry few Sheikels- a fee as outrageously cheap as the music.

To book the band, spell "seven-fifty-five" and then sixty-four seventeen on a telephone keypad using area code 281, or come see us at a show after the dust and mold has cleared.
