Giving you the music a day early:
The second annual World Cheese Dip Championship is coming to War Memorial Stadium. The event kicks off at 1 p.m. and last through 7:30 p.m. with admission $10 for adults, and children 10 and under free. Amateurs and pros alike will compete (in separate categories) for the title of best dip with a panel of judges deciding, and the pro winner being presented the opportunity for participation in the 2012 New Orleans Roadfood Festival. Winners will also receive cash and trophies, and festival attendees will decide the People’s Choice Awards. There will be a World Cheese Dip Celebrity Championship Chow Down and a World Cheese Dip Chow Down with guests competing. Beyond the cheese dip there will be children’s activities and music from local acts Velvet Kente, Bonnie Montgomery and Rodney Block, and the Arkansas vs. Alabama football game will be played on the stadium’s video screen.
The music is called “electro beats with an alternative indie crunch” that U.K. electronica artist Viva City brings to Rev Room. So what does that description mean? Think bands along the lines of LCD Soundsystem and Justice, with big beats, a little guitar working its way in and some thumping, synth-y basslines. It’s all hard and heavy electronic music. The show starts at 9 p.m. with the opening act Eli James, a Seattle one-man electronic dance rock band known for his own custom light show. The ticket price is to be announced, but it’s an 18-and-up show.
