There’s never been a better time to join our Krewe!

Posted on May 11, 2025 by Mike

2025 is looking to be an amazing year for the Mystic Krewe. We’re renovating areas of our clubhouse; we’ve got several active sub-groups happening with a variety of events from monthly card games to sewing circles.

We also host private parties and live concerts, sometimes with a limited number of public tickets, but if you’re a member, you always have access!

Stay tuned for dates for many new shows including: Consortium of Genius, Ever More Nest, Phil DeGruy, Mahmoud Chouki and many others. If you are in a popular musical group and want to see about performing at the PinChurch, contact us!

More than just a social scene… We are a collective of creative, compassionate people who look out for each other, which can be particularly desirable during these times when there’s so much hostility and intolerance around us. If you like to learn, share, collaborate and are looking to make new friends — life long friends with the same priorities, please look at our About/FAQ page to find out about how to join this amazing group!

There’s been no shortage of fun things happening within the Mystic Krewe. 

From classes to movie nights, to parties and live concerts, as well as a wide variety of collaborate projects covering everything from arts & crafts to construction projects.

Our infamous Christmas party is coming; as well as our “Friendsgiving” celebration where we make a huge feast for everybody who wants to come who might not have their own family gathering to attend.  We recently did a class on resin casting, and a fun Halloween-themed, “Witches and Warlocks” party featuring a “drink laboratory” and pumpkin carving.

We are also anxious to welcome back Alexis & Sam to the PinChurch for a special show on Friday, October 8th – a limited number of tickets might still be available.

There’s never been a better time to join the Mystic Krewe – a community of supportive, high-empathy people who like to learn, share and collaborate.   You can’t choose your family, but you can use your FRamily.   Consider joining ours.  Visit our about page to learn more!

Live From the PinChurch: Clint Maedgen and the BandaPandas Oct 4th

Posted on July 10, 2024 by Mike

New Orleans artist and musician Clint Maedgen (Liquidrone, New Orleans Bingo! Show, Preservation Hall Jazz Band) has regrouped with a new lineup of musicians to form Clint Maedgen and the BandPandas, his latest endeavor in exploring the unique and electric sounds of his past and present catalogue. Whether reinventing songs from previous ensembles or playing newly released music, the group promises an eclectic mix of blues, country, rock, folk, and gospel. While this volume of music has a rich history spanning decades, The BandaPandas has its own interesting and recent origin story.

Like many artists and musicians during the era of pandemic lockdowns and social distancing, Clint sought new avenues to reach and connect with audiences, and found an answer in what quickly developed into a tight-nit Patreon group, dubbed The Panda Family, with members from all over the world meeting daily for exciting performances by Clint, or often just to hang and talk music and art and life as everyone navigated the new realities of the world.

When the world opened up again, several of the musically inclined and New Orleans adjacent Panda Fam decided to learn some of Clint’s material and proposed getting together with him for a jam. It only took one song for everyone to realize there was something more to explore here. Fast forward several months and the BandaPandas had developed a 2 1/2 hour revue of Clint’s varied and beloved musical catalogue, with Jason Spring on drums, Kevin Logsdon on electric guitar, and Jamie Digilormo on bass backing Clint’s unique voice and vocal melodies. The result is something unique and special, with artist and fans coming together as friends to recreate and perform with care and attention this music that they all share a love for.
