Nicky Da B

Nicky Da B is a new generation New Orleans Bounce artist who is coming into national prominence in the footsteps of Big Freedia. At 21 years old, Nicky has already shared the stage with all the legends of the Bounce community and has traveled with Rusty Lazer to New York for a run of amazing shows in January and March of this year, performing at Santos Party House, Brooklyn Bowl, Public Assembly and with luminaries such as Roxy Cottontail and many more. Nicky performed at over 10 events at SXSW 2012 many of them on stage with Diplo (Mad Decent) to perform their single "Express Yourself" which has catapulted him into public awareness. Nicky is obsessed with helping Bounce take root at an international level and will be touring the U.S. through most of 2012 while continuing to write and collaborate in genres including Bounce and much more. His musical style is less chop and cut than many of his contemporaries, preferring instead to adopt a percussive attack that relies on verbal gymnastics as much as the outlandish lyrics he writes…which sounds something like the unique vocalizations of Jamaican Dancehall combined with the tried and true, call and response, party-style of NoLa Bounce. Nicky is currently touring with Rusty Lazer and 3 amazing dancers.

Rusty Lazer

Rusty Lazer is a DJ from New Orleans that specializes in the street music of his adopted home town and has been touring with BIG FREEDIA the past several years. Following in the tradition of the second line parades and block parties that make New Orleans famous, Rusty Lazer spins songs from the three hundred year old repertoire of street music this decadent city has to offer. In a single set, dancers are likely to hear the hypnotic beat of the Mardi Gras Indians, Hot Jazz from the early 20th century, Twists from the 50's, Soul and R&B from the 1960's and 70's, Brass Band jams stretching across all of these eras and even the modern block party sounds of Hip Hop and Bounce Music along with mash-ups of all of the above created by Rusty Lazer himself.
