Influences
EVERYTHING that sounds good! Zydeco influences would be Beau Jocques, Keith Frank, Chris Ardion/ Cajun - Aldus Roger, Belton Richard, Steve Riley, Wayne Toups/ Oldies - Fats Domino, Little Richard, Johnnie Allen, Percy Sledge, Odis Redding/ Rock - CCR, Ramones, Led Zeppelin, Motley Crue, AC/DC, Skynryd/ some 80's music and a little of everything else. We all have our own likes and dislikes but I would say our band is mixed with these influences alone with a lot of new original touches that together sound like nothing else but our band!
Our group was formed a little different than most local groups. Our first goal was to get a CD out then start doing shows.
So, in Sept. of 2004 we released our first CD entitled "Dis ain'tcha momma's Zodico" which featured the song "Bar be que and drink a few" and received a lot of air play throughout Louisiana and in Jan. 2005 we started doing live shows as a band and played over 200 shows in 2005 to date! The first CD was such a success and the band draw at clubs and festivals became increasingly growing we decided it was time for another CD! So, in Sept. 2005 we released our second CD entitled "Zydeco Train" and have had several songs receive quite a bit of airplay including "Vibrator"....(number 1 requested song on several stations including KBON), "Booty Call" and "Zydeco Train"! The CD according to several distributors in Louisiana and 7 of the major retail stores is the .. 1 selling CD in it's genre of music!
In 2006 we decided to release 2 CD's! One being a Xmas CD entitled "Ho, Ho, Ho" and the other entitled "Booty Zydeco"! Our Xmas CD received instant air play with the song entiled "Santa Claus don't wear no draws" and our "Booty Zydeco" CD was nearly a double CD with 21 songs featuring 18 original songs and 3 covers! One of our original songs received instant attention from LSU fans around the world with the song entitled "Tiger Tailgate Party" landing us LSU shows and one including a party for LSU Alumni at "The House of Blues" in New Orleans!
The band plays a mixture of Zydeco, Cajun, Rock, Oldies and actually too much to list here alone with several original songs but we do play a huge variety of music in a Zydeco format and stick away from slow sappy music. We play a lot of upbeat, fun, dance music which is a hit for dance, festival and college party crowds!
