The Scorseses
When The Scorseses released their debut five-song EP last year, Presenting… The Scorseses, Offbeat Magazine raved, comparing them to their Grammy-nominated New Orleans brethren Mutemath, saying the band “builds something contemporary from refashioned versions of classic parts.” That same year, Where Y’at Magazine awarded them the 2011 Best of the Big Easy Awards for “Best Band Reinventing Their Game.”
See what all the hype is about when this eight-piece band brings its unique blend of progressive rock and ska once again to The Hookah Room at Chicago in downtown Shreveport 10 p.m., Friday, Dec. 14. Admission is $8.
Engine
