Oh man that fu***ng sucks!!!!!
Tony I can't thank you enough for all the times me, you and Joe and everybody that played with us that got to jam there before the brewery took over.

The Old Arabi sheds by the wall hosted bands from 1982 through 2016. When the property was acquired by a local brewery that unfortunately went out of business less than a year later. The building sat idle for the last several years. With hopes and dreams that it would one day become a place for bands to harness there skills once again in St. Bernard Parish. Unfortunately that time never came.

I will always have great memories of that place from seeing all the great bands in their budding stages back in the mid 1980s to where they blossomed from there. It was a great part of our history growing up in the music scene. Especially during those summer months when we were carefree teenagers. There would be hundreds of people out there listening to the band's practice after stopping at The chateau on Judge Perez in Arabi buying a brown bagged cheap 40 oz beer. Then plopping up on the levee wall watching the bands practiced with the metal roll doors flung wide open and the volume as loud as it could go! We were in our own corner of the world back there. Jamming to the bands and talking with everybody. There was something magical about hearing the music come out of those metal sheds with the wind and the sounds of the Mississippi River behind you with the silhouette of the city in New Orleans in the background. Some great music was written back there. A lot of great bands practiced back there that we all grew up with and we're all still friends with. So tonight we bid you farewell...
