DJ Quickie Mart, better known to many locals as Shreveport native Martin Arceneaux, will preside over a hip-hop/dubstep/ghettotech showcase at Fatty Arbuckle's on Saturday night.
Local boy makes good hip-hop/dubstep/electronic music, and makes time to share it with a hometown crowd. Shreveport native and Los Angeles/New Orleans resident DJ Quickie Mart, who (as always) appears to be in the midst of a never-ending world tour, will bring his unique fusion of hip-hop, grime, and dubstep to Fatty Arbuckle's Pub on Saturday night. The show will kick-off around 10 p.m., so there's time for both LSU football and an off-the-chain DJ performance. Quickie Mart's skills behind two turntables and a microphone have taken him a lot of places: Resident DJ for a season on Last Call with Carson Daily, performing at large events like SXSW and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, touring with Q-Tip and The Cool Kids, performing on-stage with the legendary Dr. John...the list goes on and on. According to Facebook, he's bringing a troupe along this time. The show at Fatty Arbuckle's will also feature Corey G, Piranha, Mr Smith, Shorty D Techknowledge, and Ronnie Lopez, and will last "all night long."
Fatty Arbuckle's Pub is located in the Red River Entertainment District at 450 Clyde Fant Parkway in downtown Shreveport. Admission prices aren't listed anywhere, but cover is usually $10 at a larger show at Fatty's. 21+.
