Some Info About Our Past Events...
|
In 2018, the first annual Pardi Gras was a hit in it's inaugural year! We fueled up the flux capacitor to travel back in time for excellent music, great food, multiple themed rooms at the Silver Lake Ballroom filled with entertainment acts such as Jazz DJs and brass bands to aerialists and many 80's costume characters, all topped off with an awesome performance by The Molly Ringwalds!
|
In 2019, for the second year we traveled back to the 1990's, to honor your favorite "Fresh Prince" and "Saved by the Bell" era! Everyone came and PARDI'd with us as we filled the Horseshoe Casino Riverdome with tons of Entertainment, featuring the local favorite DJ/Emcee Jay Whatley, the 90’s band The Hollow Decks, and ended out the night with the international favorite 70’s, 80’s and 90’s tribute band The Chee-Weez.

In 2020, the third annual Pardi Gras was a hit again! Everyone put on their best pair of bellbottoms, dusted off their fringe jackets, woke up those perms, setup many afros and combed many thick mustaches! This was one “Pardi” you didn’t want to miss at the Horseshoe Casino Riverdome! The Pardi featured the groovy disco funk performance by Le Freak - The Greatest Disco Band in the World!

THE CHEE-WEEZ
The Chee-Weez are a 5 piece tribute/show band that specialize in making sure YOU have a great time and leave with a smile. With an ever-expanding stage show including video walls, lights, lasers, and pyro, to the off-the-cuff antics, you never know WHAT you’ll see next at the Chee-Weez show! But be warned…you WILL be entertained!
Formed in 1997 in a garage just outside New Orleans, LA., The Chee-Weez began life as a disco tribute act. (Afros and platform shoes included). But on a random night in a smokey bar room sometime in 1998, the boys decided to throw a dash of Bon Jovi and pinch of Journey into the mix to see how the audience responded, and the rest, as they say…is history! The band continued to add classic rock and 80’s hair metal to the set, while still putting their own spin on a number of oldies, classics, and even 80’s new wave tunes, and “The Chee-Weez sound” was born. They continued on to perform along side acts across the country, from Styx and Journey, to the Pointer Sisters and K.C. and the Sunshine Band. From small, quaint bars to arenas and stadium sized venues everywhere, The Chee-Weez bring their unique brand of PARTY anywhere and everywhere there are people who want to rock out and have FUN. There are countless acts that aspire to perform everything “just like the record”. The Chee-Weez experience is more than this. It’s spur of the moment medleys. It’s rocked out 80s dance tunes and R&B. It’s uptempo Neil Diamond. It’s Metallica. Anything. And EVERYTHING, goes at a Chee-Weez show. The Chee-Weez aren’t about 1 genre. They aren’t about 1 style. The Chee-Weez are about FUN. It’s about having a good time with your closest friends, laughing, smiling, and of course, enjoying the PARTY The Chee-Weez strive to bring each and every time they step on stage. The Chee-Weez are about bringing an arena rock show to the masses, while still keeping the audience involved at each and every turn. This is The Chee-Weez. Come get some and…GET ‘EM UP! |

THE MOLLY RINGWALDS
Showmen... Sensational... Glamorous... Magnificent... Epic.
Those are just a few of the words that have been used to describe The Molly Ringwalds - a group of talented and dedicated musicians who take every stage they step on with force. The band dazzles and engages audiences with energy and passion and takes them on a musical journey filled with all the hits that transcended the 80s and defined a generation. But the music is only part of the show. These accomplished musicians combine their individual talents with the visual enormity and glam that encompasses the essence of the decade’s music scene. Music videos of the iconic songs are the backdrop to a stage that comes to life with a captivating light show and a movable set that draws the audience into the moment. |
