"Dressed in blue and playing high-energy folk rock that's perfect for a house party, The Blue Party is possibly the 'funnest' band on Earth." - Arts Council of New Orleans

"The Blue Party blends sounds as if they were making a jambalaya out of good times. With equal parts rock, folk and dance, they stir up a musical dish that really suits their home of New Orleans." - wellthatscool.com (Tuscaloosa, AL)

"Underneath the hyperactive, road tested party antics of this six-piece lies a level of sheer musical virtuosity not found in many groups stomping around town" - Barryfest.com (New Orleans, LA)

"The Blue Party ushered in the evening with a set of springy, sunny early 20s anthems. Uniting soul- searching travelogues (“Honduras”) and hip party chorales (“Homeless”), they showed why they are quickly becoming favorites with the campus crowd – plus, it’s kind of hard not to get behind a band with a bouzouki." - Groovescapes.com (New Orleans, LA)

"The Blue Party got the crowd in such a happy, dancing mood that a visit from Starkville Police with an order to turn the volume down did not even phase the energy level in the backyard...this party was one for Starkville's history books" - The Mississippi State Reflector (Starkville, MS)

"They effortlessly mix musical styles to create a sound that is all their own." - The Vignette (Kansas City, MO)

"The Blue Party first played in Hays in September 2010. When The Blue Party returned to Hays in April, the band drew on Wednesday night and had the crowd singing their lyrics." - The Hays Daily News (Hays, KS)

"As soon as the first chord was struck, a dance party broke out. With the members dancing with audience members and everyone having an awesome time to their up-tempo tunes, you couldn’t help but watch this band play and crack a smile." - Music Makers (Starkville, MS)

"With their fun, yet heartfelt lyrics and sound, the Blue Party will make sure everyone who listens to them will have a great time." - Scout66

For all you people that are too cool for pop music, that title ^^^ is a Lady Gaga quote.

If you scroll down this page a bit, you’ll find a post with a lot of pictures from a Tipitina’s show that we played back in May.  There’s a picture that prompted Natalie to tell me that I needed to get a hair cut.  Well I didn’t get a haircut, and per Natalie’s request, this is what it looks like now.  Although you can’t see the mullet that’s evolving in back, I still think that a haircut is clearly NOT in the near future…

Speaking of mullets, I’m thinking about growing my hair out till Halloween and then getting it cut into a perfect mullet and designing my costume based on the fact that I have a mullet.  When I test this idea on other people, dudes are all about it, and the girls seem less enthused. Hmmmmm.
