Lost Bayou Ramblers was formed in 1999 by brothers Andre and Louis Michot, performing the roots Cajun music they learned as members of the Les Freres Michot, the family band their father and uncles formed in the 80’s. The brothers quickly began playing clubs and festival around Louisiana, and taking traditional music they were raised with to new levels of rhythmic energy and spontaneity, producing the punk and psychedelic labels given to the band by reviews over the years. In 2012, with 5 albums under their belt, including a Grammy nomination for their 2007 release Live La Blue Moon, the band released its most progressive and sonically experimental record to date; Mammoth Waltz. With the stylings of producer Korey Richey (Arcad Fire, Givers) and the help of guest artists Gordon Gano, Scarlett Johansson, and Dr. John, Mammoth Waltz was named #2 in the “Top 21 Louisiana albums of the 21st Century” by Time Picayune. The band has continually integrated new sonic elements to its live performances, always experimenting and growing the show to what it’s become today, an eclectic mix of modern sounds and rhythms with ancient cajun melodies and lyrics.
