Settly, One Eyed Jacks, 10pm; settly.com. Settly has been all over the music business. He’s been in bands like Raw Youth, Multiple Places and ZOOM. He was the house recording engineer at NYC’s Tin Pan Alley Studio (where he worked on the Beastie Boy’s Ill Communications). He also recorded and co-produced Railroad Jerk’s One Track Mind and The Third Rail. All that considered, the most notable thing about Settly may be his solo music. When I say he went solo, I mean he went solo—he mixed, recorded, produced, wrote the lyrics and music to all the songs, all on his own. Now that’s independent music! However, as he can’t play every instrument by himself live, his backup band is either his old buddies ZOOM or The Disappointments. While Settly kicks ass on the record, his live shows are where it’s at—his music has just enough pop to draw in different types of people and rocks hard enough to keep everyone engrossed for the entire set. But, make no mistake; he isn’t a pop-punk wonder. He plays really good, old fashion, rock and roll, filled with riffs and hooks in all their glory. His songs are glorious little gems that will keep you humming for days to follow, so don’t miss the former One Eyed Jacks soundman on a rare return to New Orleans. —Caroline DeBruhl, Photo by Art Boonparn
