NoDef Nods: MusicNew Orleans Sounds of 2012 and A Look Ahead to 2013 The year in New Orleans music was full of Grammys, viral videos and unfortunate losses. It all adds up to a historically insular music scene on the verge of getting the national recognition it's always deserved. We look back at 2012 and look ahead to 2013: Today in New Orleans 11.30.12 Friday is here, and tonight you can celebrate with Johnny Sketch at Maple Leaf, art after hours at NOMA, bounce on St. Claude, or a Vox and the Hound release party at HOB. Today in 2001, Dr. John was the musical guest on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Click through to find out how to kick off your weekend. Building VoxVox and the Hound Set to Release First Full-Length Album On the eve of the release of their first LP, April Siese catches up with local rock combo Vox and the Hound to talk about challenging themselves, and giving their music a wide angle lens. Foburg: Day 3 Foburg finished off with a bang! Downstairs at The Maison, we saw NOLA's own, Peg Rousel, play. Her one woman act was straight from the Joni Mitchell playbook. One woman with a miked acoustic guitar, belting out soulful songs about love lost. Hell, she even had the requisite set list safety pinned to her mic stand. Rousel was feeling ill, but her sore throat only enhanced the sound, adding a Sachmo-esque roughness to her voice. (Sorry, Peg, let's call it a Billy Holiday-esque.) We particularly enjoyed Turning which like many of her songs evoked Cash covering NIN's Hurt.
