Acadiana's swamp pop all-star band plays Downtown Alive! tonight.
The golden gods of swamp pop have basked in the glow of many different types of starlight most notably their own but Lil'Band O'Gold's recent live collaborations with Robert Plant and Elvis Costello have definitely upped their swamp superstar profiles.
The band's recent tour in Australia as well as a full-length documentary The Promised Land featuring the band has not hurt either. The band was assembled by vocalist and guitarist CC Adcock, who searched the swamps and flatlands of South Louisiana to form a band of his childhood heroes. Lil'Band O'Gold is the result. Tonight Lil'Band O'Gold Warren Storm, CC Adcock, Steve Riley, Dickie Landry, David Egan and Pat Breaux will bring its all-star swamp pop and classic soul revue to Downtown Alive! at Parc Sans Souci on Nov. 5.
