Okay, so that's stretching it a bit -- the show tonight at the Mucky Duck isn't technically a Trout Fishing In America show. What is is, though, involves the...
It's like those non-sleeping folks over at the Free Press Houston are psychic, I swear. Just the other night I happened to be skimming through a recent issue...
Dammit, dammit, dammit. Crapload of excellent stuff going on tonight (and the rest of this weekend), but I've been running so fast these past few days I...
Yep, it's Saturday, and there's still a crapload of stuff going on; here's a too-brief rundown on my personal picks for this evening... And yes, I'm well aware...
Tonight (Sunday, June 7th) there're a few less things going on than in the past few nights, but you've still got some good, good options. First off, Thrill...
I saw some mysterious promo stuff about this a while back & didn't know what to make of it, but now the full lineup's been released, so... Apparently H-town's...
This is a cool one; I'd missed it last time out, but apparently the folks at Houstonist are doing a followup photography show to 2007's 600 sq mi: Photos from...
= I know, it's a little hard to fathom, even for somebody like me who's spent countless hours air-guitar-ing (okay, I actually mostly air-drum, to be honest)...
Apologies to anybody else who's playing a show this evening, but if you're in town tonight, there's only one place you really, truly need to be: The Wild...
I desperately need to talk about what all's going down this weekend, but I've got to first mention, though, that we've got a bunch of new reviews up, most...
There's a ton of stuff to check out this weekend, as often seems to be the case these days -- so much so that I almost dunno where to start. [deep breath]...
It's been a hell of a week for good news, I have to say. 2009's already been a good year for H-town music, but with some recent little bits of news, things are...
And on it goes... Saturday & Sunday night're looking just as busy as last night did; plenty of good stuff to choose from: Sat., June 13: Something Fierce/Be My...
Mentioned this briefly earlier on, but the next installment of the BandCamp series up at the Caroline Collective is set for today (again, Sun., June 14th). I...
Can't believe I let this one creep up on me like this -- one of my absolute favorite, most intrigued-by music-makers going, and I nearly freaking forgot she...
Another one (er, two) I can't believe I let sneak up on me; I still have yet to see The Paper Chase live, although I've been a fan of John Congleton and his...
In spite of having released their latest EP, Thoughts Like Bombs, just a week or two ago, it appears that The Watermarks are still down a couple of members....
Another weekend, more badass music to hear/see. I'll skip the blather this time out & get right to it; here's what I think sounds cool, complete with insane...
A bit over the line, I know -- got some new stuff up this AM, just in time for tonight... As I raved about earlier on, both Paris Falls and The Small Sounds...
Yeah, it's been a while, and the MP3s have been piling, piling, piling up; some are just kinda "eh" to me, but once I get a chance to sift through things,...
We're veering rapidly towards the end of the week and all the work-dodging that entails (not that I'm doing it myself, but y'know), so it seemed appropriate to...
Believe it or not, tonight's a bit of a slow one 'round these parts, at least for my tastes -- not that there's not good stuff going on, but there's, well,...
Yeah, I've already blathered a bit about this, but I really, truly want folks to get out & see these guys -- The Phlegmatics are absolutely one of the coolest,...
What, you thought that was it for the weekend? Nah, not quite. Here's some more of what sounds good to me for the next two days/nights: Sat., June 27: Indian...
Friend Conor has been singing the praises of SF-dwellers Cryptacize for a while now, but I've been slow to come around, I'm afraid. It's mostly a matter of...
Just a little fyi -- for those who've been watching & waiting anxiously for more details on this year's installment of the ever-entertaining Houston Press...
I utterly, completely love the head-on collision that's been going on lately between snarling, four-chords-and-distortion punk and raw-throated, hard-drinking...
Yep, it's that most patriotic of weekends, July 4th, when even supposedly un-American punks like me feel compelled to smile at our fellow citizens & fly flags...
Mentioned it a while back, but just wanted to drop a quick reminder -- today marks the start of the two-day Texas Heat Music Festival downtown at Jones Plaza,...
