There are a lot of great acts in town this week with something for everyone's musical taste. The "big radio" shows include Rush, Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, Korn, and Evanescence all of which take place outdoors at the Woodlands pavillion. Please remember it is still very hot...even at night. For those not wanting to face the night sweats, check out Texas indie rockers Centro-Matic on Wednesday and Eisley on Thursday.
But to really get your weekend started right head over to the Pearl Bar on Friday night and check out the Ben Kweller after party, co-sponsored by your favorite Houston blog, Houstonist.
