Houstonist braved the heat, crowds, light rail trains, random panhandlers and city sidewalks to enjoy this year's Houston Press Music Awards Showcase. The event was held at various spots along Main St. and points beyond. We snapped photos of as many bands as we could but couldn't be everywhere, so here are some highlights from this year's event.

Missed Connections: Gefilte Fish...and "Chain Connections"


Great photos. And thanks for the headzup on the Tontons.
Gorgeous photos of Asli and the Tontons. Love the colors in those! :)
