NOLAxNOLA25 PRESENTS PETITE LEAGUE: DEAD STAR CITY TOUR with BIPOLAROID & FROM PARTS UNKNOWN
Event Information
Living together in famed Syracuse house venue Scarier Dome hosting shows for touring bands, producing live video sessions, starting a screen printing business while also learning the ins-and-outs of self-recording and releasing records was the foundational stepping stone upon which Petite League was created. Lorenzo Gillis Cook, songwriter and composer, along with drummer Henry Schoonmaker, came out of the gates swinging with their signature infectious lo-fi power pop releasing their two first records before graduating from college that same year. Petite Leagues melodic sun kissed brand of indie rock started the buzz right away with some immediate industry, streaming, and publication recognition which helped propel the band forward from the jump.The band continued to shape itself into a staple of the New York indie rock scene as the band moved to Queens in 2016 enlisting the help of other ex-Scarier Dome residents Adam Greenberg and Kevin McCallum as part of the live band. The DIY mindset of operating Scarier Dome is still the backbone of what Petite League runs on to this day as they continue to release music prolifically, cultivate their online presence, and tour throughout the United States.

Bob James Quartet
Event Information
Bob James composed the song "Angela", the instrumental theme from the sitcom Taxi, and possibly James' best known work. Bob composed all the original music used in that television series for its entire run. "He became one of the biggest stars of smooth jazz..." states the NEW YORK TIMES. "[Bob James] is the consummate pianist-composer whose licks and grooves have been essential cogs in the clockwork of smooth American session jazz..." says THE GUARDIAN. "There was a time in the mid-'70s when James' music seemed to be everywhere; on the radio, television, films...None of the residue of those days is missing from this latest iteration. What is evident from start to finish is that James still has the chops and impulses..." raves DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE (2022 Album Review 'Bob James Trio: Feel Like Making Live!').
