BROTHER DEGE'S 2ND ANNUAL SUMMER BEACH PARTY
Friday, Aug. 21
Blue Moon Saloon
Doors: 9 p.m.
Cover: $10
It’s been hot as hell in Acadiana for the past few weeks, so get ready to cool off as Brother Dege and company throw down at the Blue Moon Saloon for the 2nd Annual Summer Beach Party. If you weren’t there last summer, the show is like a beach party mixed with a rock ‘n’ roll circus crossed with a rave that takes place inside a water park. Included in the madness is giant foam machines, tiki torches, baby pools, laser beams, bubble machines and and of course beach balls. Since April, Brother Dege & The Brethren have been on tour for four months crossing Europe and the U.S., so this also serves as a homecoming show for their slide guitar psyouthern rock. Add in the surf & turf rock ‘n’ roll of Rad Wagon and you have a show unlike any other in Lafayette.
