As for us…well we just wish this could last longer! © Christophe Soulas for If the party’s over for TARLD, it’s only the beginning of Marmozets‘. The Lyon rockers wrap things up with The Party Is Over (how accurate?) and it’s the occasion for them to take one last tour around the room, under the amused gaze of the attendees. Heavy at times, punk at others, but always with that classic rock’n’roll vibe, The Amsterdam Red-Light District are one of those bands one can never get bored of. Furthermore – and as we had already stated here – they have an incredible drive. The most interesting part was probably that these are good songs that take a whole new dimension on stage ending up absolutely fantastic! These guys are brilliant performers with an overly energetic Elio Sxone on vocal duties, running all over the room and quite an excited guitar player as Maxime Comby following, they quickly plunged the venue into a sweet chaos. Currently promoting the release of their debut full-length ‘Gone For A While’ (that we already reviewed here), the band has played several tracks off it, such as Million Miles Away and I’m Not Insane. The room isn’t entirely filled, people don’t really understand what is happening yet, but The Amsterdam Red-Light District are determined and their highly energetic rock’n’roll starts to work.

'Sporting houses' typically employed a solo piano player, referred to as the "Professor." A teenaged Jelly Roll Morton earned his chops playing in the gilt parlors of these Storyville brothels.ĭanny Barker described New Orleans' Storyville as "a wide open area of pleasure palaces, cat houses and honky-tonks, twenty-four hours round the clock-all in the direct center of the commercial business district.© Christophe Soulas for It was only the second time The Amsterdam Red-Light District were performing in the french capital-city, which was a little surprising to us, giving their career…Tonight’s show is therefore quite an event for them, as well as for the fans. The area provided employment for jazz bands playing in dance halls and dives throughout the district-Funky Butt Hall, Come Clean Dance Hall and Mahogany Hall.
In this mix of seduction, corruption and non-stop revelry, the roots of early jazz took hold. Nicknamed "Storyville" after Alderman Sidney Story who proposed the ordinance, this district was home to legalized vice and gambling from Januuntil Novemwhen it was shut down by the U.S. In 1897 the city council of New Orleans, Louisiana passed a unique ordinance that confined and regulated prostitution within a specified district of the city.
