Better Than Ezra

'Artifakt', the new album from 'Better Than Ezra', gets a full explication at the band's two-night stand at House of Blues. Coming after the indie successes of 'Deluxe', 'Friction, Baby' and the mainstream third album, 'How Does Your Garden Grow?', the new work is eagerly awaited by the band's cult-like following, the Ezralites. Although they call New Orleans home, the band tours continually, making this show a kind of early Christmas present for the local fans.
